I've been going to Refine Salons for 3 years. I get my haircut there every 3 months and get a glaze. My main hairstylist is Elva. If she's unavailable, I work with Tiffany or Kizzy. I loved my haircuts by all 3 stylists and recommend any of them! The price is also very reasonable and less expensive than other salons in Jersey City. Refine Salons offers high quality services at an affordable price! read more

I used the online portal to schedule an appointment for 2:40p in the evening for a cut, a shave, & my first time coloring my hair. It automatically scheduled for my hair to be dyed first, and cut/shave after, and I couldn't change the order of this through their portal. I was called and asked to email photos of the style & color of the cut I wanted. So I did. The next day I was called again & patronized that I messed up the appointment, and that I would need to do this in reverse order, and to change my appointment to an earlier time (1p) to make sure that the right staff was in house for my needs. I took off work earlier so that I could make the appointment. My hair-cut was ok, my shave left pretty intense razor burn on my neck, and I had to advocate for myself several times to the colorist that I wanted lavender color, not blue. Without my consent the colorist tested a lock of my hair with blue anyway, showed me a picture and attempted to gaslight me into accepting blue hair instead because "purple is in the blue family." When I calmly expressed frustration and said that if they do not have the color I requested, it's no problem I can go somewhere else, the colorist told me that I was having a big reaction. I waved over the hostess and she was able to take the colorist into the back and return with a $10 semi-permanent hair dye of the color I requested. When I got to the counter, I was told that I would get a 10% discount for the trouble, then I was told that my card was already charged, and that they could not apply a discount, and instead gave me an inexpensive bottle of shampoo as a consolation prize. They further attempted to gaslight me, telling me that they're just glad that I am leaving happy directly after I told them that I am leaving frustrated. The same barber & colorist was present and available during my exit, proving that they would have been able to hold my originally scheduled time in the first place. As bisexual non-binary who has PTSD from growing up in oppressive religious MidWest being told their favorite color was blue because "it's a boy color"... this experience was disappointing at its very best, and mortifying at its worst considering I can't look in the mirror without reliving a traumatic childhood. Will advocate against anyone visiting this place unless they take steps to make this right. read more

Do NOT come here if you love your hair. I asked for a TRIM just clean up the ends. She verified with me held up just my ends and the proceeded to cut 3 inches off. To make matters worse one side of my hair is shorter than the other. The first photo is my hair before. Now I'm going to have to pay upwards of 1000 to get extensions to cover this up. And after speaking to the owners they did nothing to help or fix the situation. read more

Kizzy is an amazing stylist, and she made me feel really comfortable and did a great job. The root touch up looks perfect, and I have no remaining dye on my skin. This is a very clean and welcoming salon, and I really enjoy coming here! read more

First time customer to Refine Salons. I was little skeptical and was looking for a specific hairstylist based on online reviews. The front desk lady suggested Welton who was available. Front lady was very nice and polite. I trusted her recommendation and went for my haircut. I had long thin hair which looked lifeless. Welton Brought life to my hair. They look pretty and in fact I look much younger. I am so happy with the make over. Thanks to Refine Salon. I will be your regular customer now. read more

I went in for a shampoo only because I'd spent a week in the hospital and my hair was extremely matted up in the back, which I couldn't fix at home. On the phone I stressed that I needed someone to just take their time to tease out all of the tangles, because it was a huge knotted mess but my hair had been previously healthy and I think it could be worked out with some TLC. The lady I got basically mauled me with a big brush and acted condescending and mean when I asked her repeatedly to stop tearing through my hair. She was brushing it hard and fast and I could HEAR AND FEEL IT BREAKING and I kept asking her to work through it slowly, since that's the only reason I came in. She was dismissive and impatient and didn't listen to me at all so I got up to leave with my hair barely half done. The other lady who had been working the front desk stopped me from leaving and had me sit down and actually worked through the tangles gently. She was wonderful, unfortunately I do not remember her name, but I hope she sees this and knows that she's a great person. I wasn't sure what rating to give since if it was FOR that first woman it would be 1/5 but the second woman who spent time and was gentle was 5/5. Just remember, if someone is ripping at your hair and undoing years of growing it out, don't just let it happen! Get out of that salon chair and find someone who will listen to you. The overall decor and vibe of the salon was nice. read more

I moved to Jersey City a few months ago and I was looking for a salon to get a really good haircut. Antonio was amazing, we cut off 7 inches of my hair which it needed and it looks amazing. The salon was very flexible with my schedule as I had a few things come up and had to reschedule and they were accommodating. Great salon, I will definitely be recommending Antonio to my friendS. read more

Antonio is a great barber! Nice and meticulous in his work. I have never had a bad experience here and recommend him.

Elva did a great job! I came in with a picture I had in mind and she worked hard to make sure I left happy. She even did some color correcting to make sure I wasn't too multi-colored since I previously went to another salon. Also she was quick! This would have taken 5 hours at my old salon and she was able to do cut, color, toner and style in just under 3 hours! read more

I was going for a photoshoot and couldn't get to the salon I had originally thought of going to and make it back in time. I called this salon and luckily they had a cancellation just then. They were very accommodating and sweet. Everything was also very clean, which is especially important during COVID. The staff wears masks even though there was no mandate at the time I went. Highly recommend! read more

Based on a suggestion by a friend, I checked out this salon. I scheduled an appointment by phone a day earlier. You could book online appointments as well. Staff were professional & friendly. The salon was clean. Please checkout their website for a wide range of services they offer. I went for a make over. I had shoulder length hair. Thanks to Refine Salons, I now have really cute short hair. I was nervous how it would turn out. Antonio worked on my hair. He has 43 years of experience in the industry. Right off the bat, he analyzed my hair and suggested ways I could improve texture, walked me through some of the crucial aspects where I could be mishandling my hair and suggested great tips, including styling tips I could implement. I am definitely going back to him. Checkout my before & after pics. I got out of the salon looking 10 years younger. There were several head turners all day and every day since then! read more

Do yourself a favor and did not come here! The place is a disaster. I arrived for my appointment with Tiffany upstairs who when I went upstairs was sprawled out on the couch talking to a colleague. She puts me sitting on a chair that is covered with cut hair all around the floor around it. There was lots of hair on the chair itself. Also I had to kick the hair away from around the chair on the floor. I had never seen a salon as dirty in my life. She made zero attempt to clean her work area. I have rarely seen somebody as lazy as this in the service industry. I was getting a color and she told me she would leave it in 40/45 mins for it to set. She came back 15 minutes later to wash out the color. She did not leave the color in long enough and none of the color stayed in. What a joke she was! Then when she was was washing out the color, her colleague who was there when I walked in was constantly talking to her while she was washing it out and they would not stop talking the whole time. As she was yapping she was putting the water down my back as she kept looking at her colleague as she was talking to her. A lot of the color was left on my forehead and the back of my ears. She said 'you can get apple cider vinegar tonight to wash the hair color from my forehead and ears'. What a complete and utter amateur who had zero interest in her job. She was the most incompetent hair stylist I have ever come across. People, please keep away from this salon. To say it's bad is an understatement! read more

I went to Refine Salons for the first time, and my experience there was great. Antonio took care of my hair, and he knew exactly how I wanted my hair. I was scared to get a haircut from my past bad experiences with hairdressers, but Antonio made sure that would not be the case. He did such a great job. The salon has good vibes and friendly staff. They also use high quality products. I'm excited to go back again soon. read more

Marina isn't only sweet, she's also super professional and pays attention to detail from the moment you sit on that chair. Mari has been my hair dresser for 3 years and I'll go anywhere she is. The facility is spacious and clean. Marina has done a perm that lasted me a LONG time and didn't damage my hair. After swimming competitively for many years and not taking care of my hair so well, Marina has made my hair become healthy and soft, I get so many compliments now. Thank you so much! Refine, you're lucky to have her there read more

Got an amazing color and cut from Elva after almost 1.5 years! Definitely found my salon in Jersey city! Will be back :).

Ana did a great job with my haircut - she listened to what I wanted and also provided her professional opinion, was very detailed and friendly! read more

It was an ok service. I don't think they're an expert in Men's haircut, I ended up going to a different barber after spending $50 here. I asked for a faded spike look but was underwhelmed. Also, I paid for conditioner, scalp massage, shoulder massage but none was provided. Not going back again. read more

I was extremely happy with the salon. Just moved to Jersey City from out of state and hadn't used a new stylist in 20+ years. Ana did an excellent job and I will return and already recommended to my husband and daughter! Excellent level of communication from Refine from making the appointment, health screening and text and voicemail reminders. read more

Prompt and friendly service by front desk. Welton did my color and did an excellent job. The color was exactly what I asked for, super natural looking. The price was very reasonable for NYC metro area, actually one of the "cheaper" professional options in JC area. My only feedback is the salon itself is a bit "boring". I am used to more lively salons. Also, they don't have a voicemail for off hours which is kind of odd to me, but they do return missed calls once the salon opens. I def recommend this place! read more

On our first experience of dying my son's hair blue the job performed was horrible so we had to go back for a redo. Now this time w Elva was a completely different experience. She not only took us on when she was getting off work but did the right job of taking out the color from the previous job but bleached and added the new blue back in w an outstanding result. I highly highly recommend Elva for any color job and the salon for making right what was wrong. Thank you Elva! read more

I move to the NYC area 5 years ago, and it's been a struggle for me to find a barber who offers a good haircut consistently over time. Well, thank goodness that I finally found Abdul at Refine Salon in Jersey City. Abdul pays great attention to detail, which is especially needed given that I am balding on my crown and, therefore, need someone who can consistently pay attention to the fine points of cutting my hair. Abdul has given me several haircuts at this point, and I'm a total fan--will happily return again and again, as long as the consistent attention to details continue! Btw, everyone who works at Refine is very friendly too : ) read more

I've been getting my haircut at the same place for 9 years because I used to live in that area and also it's still close to work. Due to the pandemic, I had to find a new spot closer to where I live. That brought me to Refine Salons. I figured I needed a haircut and this would be a one time thing. Then I met Carina. She's an amazing barber, and she's the reason I've returned every month since. If you want a top of the line haircut and great conversation, book an appointment with her, you won't regret it. read more

Best people, terrific quality and service. I have reached the point where I can rely on a terrific experience with every visit. Abdul is fun to chat with and always knows exactly what my remaining hair requires. You won't regret any style you ask for. read more

Friendly staff - Welton is the best! I loved my results. It's super easy to pay as you enter your card info before your appointment and it's saved for future visits. Prices are very reasonable too. Definitely making this my go-to salon :) read more

Welton is amazing! I had a COVID hair color, a non color. Due to the fact that I have not been able to have my hair highlighted in months. Welton takes his time and is very articulate with each strand of hair. Truly an artist and a great eye for color which brings incredible results. He is my favorite colorist of all time. Refine Salon is very friendly, clean and you feel safe getting your hair done there. Pleasant space to spend your time while your hair gets an upgrade. read more

I had an 11:15am blowout for a wedding I have at 3pm. salon called me at 11:12am when I was a block away to tell me that the person called out sick, I asked why she called so last minute and person on the phone explained that when you're sick you call out last minute. NO! you know more than 3 minutes before your appt that you're gonna call out. She should have found someone else to do my blow out. She asked me to reschedule!!! Lol who reschedules a blow out?? Most people need a blowout for an event they have that day. This was going to be my first experience with this salon and I already wouldn't recommend or suggest you rely on this place. read more

My stylist Antonio moved to this place so I tired it. I was super impressed that the owner came out to allow me to park in the building garage when I couldn't find street parking. Wait time was short, I was offered water, and the prices are competitive. And there's a cute cafe next door! read more
