Lexi knew how to blend it all out so I could look natural again.

Allie also was great while assisting me!

I've been in for haircuts and blowouts and both have been excellent, exactly what I asked for. The salon itself is super cute and very clean.

I'll be back in for a haircut soon!

Came here for the first time. Waxing services were unclear. When I got my waxing with Anna, I told…read moreher I wanted the sides of my face (sideburns and hairs growing into my cheeks) and my eyebrows. When I went to checkout, she charged me for the price of full face + eyebrows. She had the opportunity to share with me what "sides of face" vs "full face" meant in the studio when I said the exact term "sides of my face" and when I pointed out what areas I wanted waxed. She asked me if I wanted my chin waxed but I said no, I only needed the sides of my face done. If I thought I was getting a full face wax, I wonder if she waxed my chin, if she would have charged me an additional price for chin. So there's plenty of room for communication on pricing and the ambiguous services with no descriptions online. It's easy to mix up what does "full face" mean vs "sides of face" vs "sideburns", etc. and that "full face" also does not mean eyebrows are included. Had I known what I was being charged for, I would not have come here to begin with, so it's disheartening to have given away $75 plus a cash tip to this place just to get my sideburns/cheeks + eyebrows waxed, and no other part of my face, when I could have found better pricing elsewhere. Also their online pricing was different from what they were charging me in the system, and there's no signs or brochures in person that show their latest raised prices. The last thing is the site says you get $20 off your first service as a new customer, but in person, they said it only applies to hair coloring services, which COULD be easily clarified online, but It's just online bait, which is another reason why I initially came to try out this place.

Teresa V. and the Vanity 18 Hair Studio staff are AS GOOD AS IT GETS!…read more Let me just say that I stopped using Vanity 18 for a couple of years because I'd decided that it was too far to drive (from Long Branch). Instead, I started using a place in Asbury but realized a few weeks ago that, although the new place was good with color, there was no "human connection," it was very expensive, and I'd get bounced around on occasion from my original stylist (with no advanced notice). Parking in Asbury is also becoming a nightmare. Anyway, my last visit was way overpriced for only a few highlights and a root touch-up (no blow-dry or anything), so I decided to go back to Vanity 18 as it is only 10-15 minutes farther down Main Street . . . and I actually missed Teresa. Very smart move! I returned to Vanity 18 only to discover that they now have a 10-minute hair color treatment, which is AWESOME, not to mention that Teresa did the best highlight job (with a few lowlights for effect) that I've have ever had (no joke), and for much less than the Asbury place. (Also, Annette works miracles with "senior" hair; you'd have to see it to believe it!) Wait, it gets better: New(ish) Saturday summer hours are from 6 A.M. till 12 P.M. (noon). I don't know about you, but I have no interest in driving in shore traffic to get my hair done on a Saturday. That fact that Teresa accommodates "locals" needs no embellishing; she clearly considers her clients. (And she clearly considers others who are not her clients with much charity, which makes me even happier to patronize her shop.) So, basically, between that and the 10-minute color, I can rightfully be FINISHED with my hair appointment by 9 A.M. on a Saturday. Are you kidding? Sign me up! Oh, and guess what else? I was there for a 7:15 A.M. root touch-up this past weekend, and she treated me to a breakfast sandwich (they were ordering out)! (Coffee is always free.) Anyway, I could go on and on about many other "extras" that she has done, but I think I've made my point. I am sorry I ever left, but it was a good lesson learned, and I am elated to be back. Kudos, you guys . . . and thanks for taking me back!

Politely offered beverage services, snacks, hair style lookbooks, a comfy waiting area and a full suite of products round out the amenities. ( As of this posting, ownership has installed full-spectrum, eco-responsible lighting that naturally illuminates- giving you and your stylist true color representation, resulting in effects that look great when you emerge into natural light.) As for the talent, I have my main guru Tracey, but have had to use the services of other team members when my schedule doesn't work with Tracey. Mary Jean, Nicole, and a host of others have stepped in to do wonderful updos, cuts and color, straightening, etc. When things get busy at the salon, the team help each other out. They support each other, making it a wonderful, smooth operation. It's just a solid team, working hard to make every guest feel welcome, cared for and beautiful. As for the errant negative reviews, we live in a world where, sadly, entitlement rules. People want to have *everything* delivered to them *immediately* for a cost next to nothing- and they want it done exactly like how they picture it in their minds- no matter how much it may defy all natural laws of physics. I'll stick with working as a research scientist, thank you- it's far easier than owning a salon. You can't please everyone as a business owner, but every three months or so, I get to see a group of talented professionals give it their all toward this end. Kudos- and a big thank you- to all of the talent at Salon Coco Bond for doing all you do. Keep up the great work!

My friend booked hair appointments at Salon Concrete for her wedding day. Since the salon was…read morespacious and was well staffed, they were able to handle our whole party and keep the salon open for regular business. I'm not sure if this was provided by the salon or the bride, but there was a table in the center of the salon which had bagels, muffins, juice, mimosas and water for us to enjoy while waiting. Since we couldn't all have appointments at once, it was nice to be able to have a little nosh. I believe there were two or three stylists working with our group. Cassie did my hair and did a great job. I knew I wanted some sort of flowy curls with half of my hair out of my face, but I left the rest up to Cassie's expertise. Cassie and a few other stylists strategized and then she got to work. It took a while to curl my hair but my hair is very thick and wavy so that's expected. She meticulously went through each section. I was very happy with the end result. I only wish a few more pins and spray had been used. I had to run back to the salon to pick up a friend a little after my appointment and another stylist was able to touch me up which helped the style last through most of the night. The whole party, especially the bride, looked gorgeous so I would certainly recommend Salon Concrete for your wedding or formal hair needs.
