Alright, I'm done gate-keeping. The fact is, great hair doesn't happen by chance; it happens by an…read moreappointment with Alison Campbell. I've been going to Alison for the past 6 years at three different Fox & Jane locations, and I will follow her anywhere in the country (and probably overseas too). I went to Alison after a decade of box-dyes because I wanted ombre/balayage highlights. I showed her a few pics of ridiculously platinum blond highlights and she straight up told me: 1) I have 5 different colors of box-dye that she needs to remove first 2) She will not bleach my black/brown thick pin-straight Asian hair to be THAT blond in 1 sitting because my hair will fall off That honesty is EVERYTHING! Many of my gfs went to other salons with the same (outrageous) request, the hairstylists complied, and those women now have dry brittle hay straws on their heads. But not me - after 6 years and gallons of bleach - my hair is still thick, shiny and healthy, all thanks to Alison truly TAKING CARE of my hair. Alison listens and remembers my preferences; I hardly ever give her direction other than "more/less blond", "cooler/warmer" and "longer/shorter". She knows how to cut Asian hair!!!! . She also cuts my man's long curly hair and taught him the benefits of "layers". Most importantly, she taught me that toner is my friend, otherwise I'll look like a traffic cone. Again with that honesty. I was super excited to be Alison's first client on opening day. I took the Seastreak Ferry to Highlands, NJ (40 mins) and then a Lyft to Red Bank (20 mins). WOW, Alison's new Fox & Jane in Red Bank is GORGEOUS. Unlike the typical loud cramped salons of NYC, this salon is so spacious, and the décor is chic and relaxing. It's like doing your hair in West Elm. This time around, Alison did heavy babylights (which helps camouflage my grays as my roots grow out) and textured long layers to add volume. As always, Alison did not disappoint.

I will be coming here moving forward and scheduling with Colleen! Amazing!

Jay is Hair God. His owner/wife/partner LiSA is Hair Queen…read more This can get long, but I feel I need to tell you MY PERSONAL experience before getting into how 100% my hair was done. I am a colorist who had to do her own color through Covid. My boyfriend thought it would make a nice anniversary gift to get my hair "color corrected" by calling and making an appointment for "just a few foils on the top". Mind you, I have the head of hair that people have said no. It's just too thick. Jay somehow ended up with me booked as his last client of the evening - he didn't fret whatsoever even tho both him and I (as a colorist) knew this was going to take some time! He never gave me an attitude about my hair being thick and doing a FULL HEAD OF HIGHLIGHTS plus whatever other magic he did. This is the ONE TIME I DID NOT have to worry and even tho it took quite some time, He never got an attitude, and he was thorough. I should've reviewed the first and second time I went in. However I did go back for a blowout and left with hair I am obsessed with - for the holiday weekend! So I will put pics of after the first session at the salon and then 2 days ago when I went in for a blowout! Thank you so much Jay and Lisa! You two run a beautiful shop and are friendly courteous and I have gotten so many compliments!!!!!

First time here yet never coming again…read more I asked for ash brown LOW lights. The hairstylist did not know what those were yet proceeded anyways to bleach my very dark black hair into WHITEblonde via bleach for over an hour. I didn't say anything because I haven't gotten any sort of bleach in years so I decided to trust the "professional", boy was that a mistake. After 3 hours I had silver gray strips and was asked if I liked it. I politely told her that I did not and it was not what I asked for and if she could make it ash brown. She proceeded to smile and stare at me like I was stupid and told me that the photo i showed her looked like my hair. It in fact did not. I again calmly explained to her for the 5th time I wanted my hair to be ash brown. This is a very specific and widely recognized color in the hair dye industry. I continued to explain what ash brown was, a light cool toned brown, kind of like milk tea. She then went to the back and put dye in my hair. I did not know what color it was but I was hoping it was the color I asked for. It was in fact not. I asked after she put it on and she told me it was medium blonde??? Cherry on top, she told me it was the same color she had in her hair!! Oh wow. I again did not say anything because I had been there for so long I just wanted to go home. She continued to say that what I asked for was not what I "truly wanted"and I didn't "know what I want" because she said I suit the warm tone better. I in fact look horrible in warm tones, I wear silver jewelry and am a deep winter complexion. I think she thinks I must look in warm tones because that's what she look better in I guess idk. As a person of color, do not come here, my Asian hair is now completely damaged and I spent $235 on fried hair that I am not happy with, wasting 3 1/2 hours of my time. I still left a decent tip and paid all that money but now regret being so polite about it. This is my first time writing a review ever but I am so upset, I had to say something atleast so others will not make the same mistake. I regret ever walking foot into this building.

This is my first time ever leaving a negative review, but I believe my experience deserves to be…read moreheard. Last Saturday, I went to the salon for a blunt bob haircut (see attached the inspo picture). While the stylist technically cut my hair into a bob, it was not the haircut I asked for. She removed a significant amount of my hair by heavily thinning it out without ever informing me, asking for my consent, or discussing it with me. That was never something I requested, and it completely changed the look and feel of my hair. It's also worth mentioning that I've been getting this exact haircut for the past eight years, and I have never had a single issue. This isn't my first bob, and I know exactly how it's supposed to look and feel. Never before has a stylist excessively thinned out my hair without discussing it with me or asking for my permission. I left the salon thinking something felt off, and once I got home, I realized just how different my haircut was from what I had asked for. I felt devastated, frustrated, and completely blindsided. I take great care of my hair, and seeing it so over-thinned was heartbreaking. I honestly cried for two days because of it. I called the salon, the staff followed up with me after I reached out, and I appreciated their communication. However, I was told that the owner would be the one addressing the situation. Unfortunately, my conversation with the owner made an already upsetting experience even worse. Throughout the call, I felt completely dismissed and gaslit. There was no empathy, no accountability, and no acknowledgment of how I was feeling. Instead, I felt like he controlled the entire conversation and repeatedly invalidated my concerns. When I told him I had been crying for two days because of my haircut, his response was essentially, "Really? You're crying over this?" That comment made me feel embarrassed and foolish for expressing how much this affected me. Also expressed that he does not want me as a client. As a salon owner, you should understand that while it may be "just hair" to you, it is MY hair. You don't know how much time, effort, and care I've invested over the years to keep it healthy. Having that changed without my knowledge or permission was incredibly upsetting. Rather than listening, the owner insisted that I got the haircut I asked for and said he didn't think it was a bad haircut. That completely misses the point. My issue is not whether he personally likes the haircut... it's that my hair was altered in a way I never agreed to. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. A mistake can happen, but the way a business responds afterward says everything. I left feeling unheard, invalidated, and blamed for my own reaction. I cannot recommend this salon based on my experience.

Went to Color Bar yesterday for my appointment with Genevieve. When I walked in I was greeted by…read morethe receptionist who was very nice and called me by name. I was quickly taken to the back by my stylist where we discussed what we would do with my hair. Genevieve was wonderful! My hair was a mess when I went in (ombrè with pink and purple streaks) and she was sweet and willing to work with me. She was also very knowledgeable on the products she was using and answered all the questions I had about what she was using. I chose a merlot red color for my hair and after coloring it the bottom portion of my hair came out lighter than I wanted it to be (Due to my previous ombré). Genevieve was great and threw another layer of color on which in the end came out beautiful. I loved that she made a conscious effort to give me exactly what I had asked for. I have been to so many salons where stylists pretend like they don't notice color mistakes. Sometimes it doesn't come out right the first time, by no fault of the stylist but I loved how she corrected it. As for the salon itself, the place is beautiful. Very well kept and clean. They use Redken products which is right up there with some of my favorite products. The shampoo girl was AMAZING ! I'm sorry I forgot your name! She gave me a great head massage when washing and conditioning my hair. I was offered drinks (water,coffee,etc.) many times. Loved how comfortable it was being there. That being said, I made another appointment for 6 weeks from now. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Color Bar!

This place! So, I…read morehave always been an edgy kind of girl, now woman. However, I've always had the same hair. Long, very long. I've had some highlighting and dying done in the past but nothing to extraordinary. It was time for a change! Absolutely sick of my hair, and the damage. So I sought out to find a fantastic salon. Someone who could bring my sad looking head of hair back to life again! I've heard of so many diffrent places to go to. However upon checking reviews I decided otherwise. At my wits end, I decided to try a diffrent area. I then found this awesome gem: soho studio for hair! The reviews were Great! So I took a change and booked a very last minute appointment! They were very nice on the phone about it, and paired me up with a sweet young lady named ruby! Upon arriving, I walked in and was greeted warmly by ruby! She was very sweet And so helpful from the start! She took me around and showed me everything. She than began to consult with me and asked me every detail of what I wished to be done. She was also very honest too, what would look better, and what would not. I cannot thank her enough for that! I also met the owner of the salon, who was also very nice and very helpful. She also engaged in the consulting and also helped with my hair too along the way. I had finally decided on a blue black hair coloring with a short undercut faux hawk. I had one pic to go by. They pulled it off to the *T* !!! Goodbye long hair as I laughed. It was such a fantastic experience as ruby and I had such great convo! We clicked! And I also feel that's so important too! She showed me all she was doing and what she was using! No surprises, that's the way it should be! The end result is that my hair totally looks and feels amazing!!!! It's healthy again! Ruby was great and my hair was not fried or not damaged as others have done in the past. It was perfect! And my haircut? Wow! Unique as the I am! And I keep getting fantastic comments on it now! I will tell anyone I know to go to this place! You just have to! They're great, they're professional, they're not just gonna sell you any color or just chop your hair, they're gonna consult you first. Heck they can even tell you stuff about your hairline or scalp that you might not even know. I learned quite a bit! Ruby is my *it girl* and that salon is my place now! I'm sold!
