I have been searching for a hair salon that I can get on board with. Even more so, a stylist I like, and trust with my hair. I finally found a salon and stylist I love. From the outside, it's easy to pass by it. It's small looking, and tucked in a corner. It's right next to my old favorite donut place that closed down. From the inside, it was nice and clean. Everyone was busy when I entered, but there was a wall of products calling my name. Any place that sells Moroccan Oil is automatically somewhere I like to be. They also had bagels and beverages available to customers which was great after a long day at work. For the stylist, Rick did my hair. He was super friendly, sarcastic, knowledgeable, and caring. He was very attentive and talkative which I really appreciated. I didn't feel like a stranger. He talked me through color options, hair cut options, and why's for each thing. What I left with, is exactly what I wanted. He left the length I wanted, and the color was spot on. He double and triple checked his measurements to ensure all was perfect. Something I really enjoyed was his color application. For the first time, I didn't leave the salon with dye on my face and ears. It looked natural and not obvious. I bought some of my favorite products, and I was on my way. Just wanted to say thanks again. I'm looking forward to coming back in for my next visit. read more

I found this Salon because I followed Lisa C who has been my hairstylist for the past 30 years! I have been going to her since I was 19 years old, and she is by far one of the best hair stylists I have ever had. I even lived out of state and would fly home and be sure to get my hair done by Lisa! Her knowledge of hair, color, along with what is new and trending styles is superior and will continue going to her until we grow old and NOT GRAY! lol I am extremely impressed with Salon A where she has been for 2 years now. The Stylists are all extremely talented, high caliber and friendly. The atmosphere is great and you can tell that the entire staff really cares and all of their clients love their stylists! I highly recommend this well run salon, their stylists and of course my favorite Lisa C. Try it you will be hooked! read more

Salon A Hair Studio - Walk in wall - Hair Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

See all

Richard (Rick) did the single process color and haircut for me on Saturday. This was my first visit to this salon. It's clean and friendly establishment. Rick was very gentle when brushing my hair. Everyone before had pulled my wet hair so hard that I always wondered how I did not end up bold by the end of the appointments. Rick is very experienced because he got my base color perfectly. I already received multiple compliments. I have grey roots and do them every 2months, with partial highlights from time to time. I found Salon A through Groupon. Rick was very pleasant and gave me few tips on how to style my hair. I highly recommend to visit this establishment and ask for Rick. read more

Salon A Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

I have been going to Salon A for many, many years. Artie (the owner and my stylist) is consistently pleasant, courteous, and works magic with my hair. I have special coloring needs, and he is always prepared. Sometimes my hair is wavy, sometimes curly, and sometimes just plain difficult. He examines it before starting to cut, and shows me the different options. He was even able to cover the patchy bald spots when I was on chemo. He is very experienced, and very friendly. I totally recommend him, and his store. As an added benefit, parking is very easy! read more

I was torn whether or not to write a review. I some how I convinced myself that I shouldn't because I purchased a groupon and didn't really deserve the best service because it was cheap. $78.00 for cut and highlight. Well, I came back to reality. My appointment was at 1:30, I arrived at 1:20. I had plans that evening so it was important I be out of there by 4:15. I wasn't taken back until 2:20. I watched the man who was going to do my hair fuss with this older woman's hair from the time I walked in until I was taken back. Now I wasn't taken back so someone would start my hair, I was given a cape and a new chair to sit in. Obviously my body language was telling them I was anxious. I should have listened to my gut, asked for a refund and left. The older woman who my appointment was made late for, sat two chairs away from me and continued to fix her own hair. I was so frustrated. Nope, I let the older gentleman, Dominic, who was nice start my hair. By this point it's 2:40, absolutely ridiculous. Unacceptable. Again, I kick myself for not leaving. He put in the foils and I waited. I told him I wanted 3" taken off my hair with long layers. However time was limited so if I had to leave without getting my haircut so be it. By this time it's 3:25. He insisted he had enough time to cut my hair and blow dry. He had been doing hair for 30 years, he said "if I was an amateur, then you should be worried" My gut told me that he probably hasn't cut a younger woman's hair in a while. I'm 28, I've been to cosmetology school in Arizona. I thought, give him some credit, he may be amazing. My highlights were done pretty well, he decided to use two different lightens which I wasn't crazy about and nothing we discussed but I can get over that. I have level 7 natural color so my hair lifts easily, i usually opt for wella lighter with no toner, achieves natural looking highlights. Oh well, this salon uses Matrix. On to the cut, he made his guide, (a section of hair you cut and use as go around cut the rest of the hair to ensure its the same length and even) well, he lost it. Woman with long hair that put their hair up will relate to this, in the nape area of your head (back of the neck) you have shorter hairs. These are always shorter than the rest of your hair. My hair when I went into the salon was down to my breasts, ending at my nipples. I immediately saw when he made that cut bringing my hair to the length of those hairs in my nape. It was all over then. No coming back from that. I was given the worst, choppiest, blunt layered cut I'd ever seen. Think Rachel from friends without it being blended and the year isn't 1995. I was so upset but didn't want to make a scene, the damage was done. He flat brushed my hair which made the horrible cut even worse. I said, I don't like how blunt the cut is, he took thinning shears out, I was like hold on, I don't want anymore length taken off of my hair! He made a few snips but it didn't do anything. It sucked no matter what. Picture my hair, now dry resting on the top of my shoulders with another very blunt layer ending at my earlobes. The receptionist came over and said "oh wow, you cut all your hair off". I said I by no means wanted my hair this short, and it was awful. I got out of there by 4:20. I did not tip my stylist or the girl who shampooed by hair. My stylists station was dirty, hair all over, old hair collected in the corners everywhere. The floor, and baseboard was the same way. The stylist next to him, an older Eastern European woman was doing a woman's hair, kept answering her phone and speaking in another language. It was rude and unprofessional. It appears this salon has a bunch of older stylists set in their way and don't have to try harder because they are fine doing the hair of all of the older people who've been going to them for years. This place would make a good episode of Tabitha Salon Takeover. I considered calling to request someone to fix my hair but the only way to really fix it, is to cut it shorter. Instead it's been a month to the day that I was there and I've worn my hair in a pathetic excuse for a top bun since. I hate my hair now. I've been overdosing on Biotin in hopes my hair will grow back quicker than usual. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The customer service sucked, the place is dirty, and I am confident in saying that I'm sure the owner of this salon doesn't give his or her employees any ongoing training. The product shelves were sparse and I am not sure if they washed my hair with professional products. I'm not being sarcastic at all here, I really want to save someone from going and having a terrible experience like I did. The only thing that would make me feel a little better would be to get my $78 back, and to have never to have stepped foot in this place. read more

Love this place I just moved back to jersey and Tony did my hair. He did exactly what I asked, was sweet and informative and did a great job. I look forward to going back soon. read more

Richard is a very good hairdresser. I came in not really knowing what I wanted to do and he was very patient and attentive. The staff was all very nice and welcoming as well. I am only giving them a 4 because they aren't very experience with Dominican hair and the blow dry was not done to last. I would recommend for a color and cut. read more

Maryann Totaro is the best hairdresser. She is very experienced with color, cuts and Keritan treatments. Ive been her client for many years and highly recommend her. read more

I purchased a Groupon for a cut and color package. My services were performed by Rick and he is wonderful!!!! He gave me wonderful education about semi permanent and permanent hair color and I learned something new about the choices I have for eradicating grays! Haircut and blowout were wonderful also. Thank you again! Highly recommend! read more

I have been a client at this salon for several years, as well as my family. I would never go anywhere else! It is clean and a great atmosphere. The stylists and staff are wonderful, talented and personable. MaryAnn is amazing and so talented!!!! I always joke that she is a perfectionist but she really is!! I always leave there with EXACTLY what I asked for and more. She puts in beyond 100% with everything she does from coloring to haircuts. If you truly care about your styling needs I would highly recommend this salon and request MaryAnn! read more

I have been going to Salon A Hair Studio for almost 5 years. The hair stylists are all so nice and friendly. Arthur cuts my hair and does an EXCELLENT job every time. They always have food and drinks available for their clients. The salon is always clean and beautifully decorated. Everyone I know that is a client here always leaves happy. read more

I had been a customer of this salon for many years. Recently I scheduled a color and cut with Maryann. I arrived on time and color usually takes an hour. She was a few minutes over from her last appointment, also had her sister there for color. She started applying my color and then excused herself and ran her sister's color through. She finished applying my color and that was the last I saw her. An hour and forty minutes later my color was washed out. She never checked back. The shampoo girl ran it through. At that point her sister was still in her chair getting a cut and I realized that my color had been dragged out so she could give Sis a cut, she gave her my appointment! I am never going there again. read more

It's a shame that I must right a negative review of this hair salon. Unfortunately my experience in this hair salon, with a person named Rick, was the worse experience of my entire hair salon life. I have beautiful soft curly hair that is naturally a warm pretty brown with natural highlights and enough grays for me to want them covered. My hair length was in the middle of my back. I had over a year ago, had a biolage color that i wanted covered. I went on 2/11 to a well known ridgewood salon that covered it perfectly to my natural color hair. My mistake was not going back there. I, instead saw a groupon for this salon, Salon A Hair studio, and thought to myself that they could do they same thing. I was seriously wrong. I went in there and told the person exactly what I wanted done, and he did the complete opposite to my hair. I specifically showed him how much I wanted cut off and told him I wanted my grays covered but to turn out like the color I went in with. I also specifically showed him the length and the layers I wanted my hair. He cut off half my hair, cutting it so short compared to my length and he also cut off all the biolage color. So why did I leave with my hair color bluish black, no layers and too short from what I asked for? He obviously did not have a clue as to what he was doing! I left there in tears, hysterical! I call that evening and the complained and all they could say was, "I'm sorry". The owner didn't bother to want to talk to me and no call to want to fix my hair. I cried for two weeks, and washed my hair the first day 5 times and everyday after that and the color did not budge. The color is still patches of bluish black and a terrible dark chocolate brown. It looks hideous. The cut is just as bad. It's just hair cut like a blunt, no style whatsoever!. Needless to say I called today and it's approximately 5 weeks later to find out what he put in my hair. They offered no compensation at all, not that I trust them, but I would have liked my money back. I should have never paid them in the first place! I don't like to cause scenes and thought, ok maybe it will wash out. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! it did not. Again all they did was apologize. I was then told he put a demi-permanent in my hair that is supposed to wash our 70-80% by six weeks. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! again! I told her that is a lie, because my hair is still shades of blush black and I have no Idea, but it look horrible. Wanting to fix my hair, I showed it to 3 different professionals who couldn't believe what my hair looked like and what he turned it into. Each one said exactly the same thing, at least $300 to color correct my hair!!!!!!!! and it's going to take several processes because it's so dark. I know he didn't know what he was doing and I was shaking as if he had parkinson's. Whatever you do make sure whomever is doing your hair knows what they are doing. As for me I will never return here and I would never recommend anyone to go here. read more

My sister purchased a Groupon deal for $69 for a manicure and pedicure for myself and my mother as a little gift for us. It wasn't that hard to find the place. My manicurist was Colleen and she did a fantastic job and was as sweet as pie. My mother's manicurist was another woman named Gina who was also sweet. My gel manicure and pedicure came out wonderfully and I would definitely recommend this place for Mani/Pedi's read more

Great salon, great environment. The decor is super modern and beautiful. Arty the owner is so welcoming and nice. He greeted me while my color was processing, I've never had an owner do that the first time I was at a salon. My stylist was super knowledgeable! I wasn't worried though because they have albums on Facebook for all their stylist and the receptionist let me pick which person I wanted! I had such a bad experience where I was going before. I am so glad that I found my new salon! thank you salon a ! You guys are the best! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a "Haircut, Condition, & Dry with Full Highlight" package. I wanted a balayage done so I contacted the salon beforehand to see if that package covered balayage. The receptionist assured me that it did. So, I made an appointment and was told that my stylist would be Rick. I get there and when he decides to come in to work, he informs me that the Groupon does NOT cover balayage and that he doesn't "have time for that". I explained that the receptionist specifically told me that it DID cover balayage. That was the only reason I even purchased the deal. Rudely, he said that it doesn't matter what the receptionist says because she's only the receptionist and he's the stylist. I'm a little confused because last time I checked, its not okay for a receptionist to lie to and misinform people about services and policies in order to generate business and he also didn't correct her or tell her not tell people that again. I wanted to leave especially after he said he didn't have time for what I wanted done even though thats the entire point of an appointment. To arrange a time and a date for what you want done. Whatever. I didn't leave like I should have. I let him do the highlights. I told him I didn't want them to be chunky or brassy. Guess what? They were chunky and brassy. Then, when he's blow drying my hair, he asks me if I like it and says that I can tell him if I don't. Not, "Oh, you don't like it? Let me fix it," because his second appointment was already here and he clearly didn't have time for me. My hair wasn't ruined by any means but its not what I wanted at all. Also, not that this is a bad thing but everyone there had to be 60+ years older than me and not my crowd so because of that, on top of the fact that they blatantly lied to me about the Groupon, I will not be returning. read more
