There was an unexplainable miscommunication with my scheduled appointment in the salon's system, but the team went above and beyond to fit me in today. This was my first appointment with Alana, as my usual stylist is on maternity leave, and she was fantastic. I left feeling the perfect fall refresh and as usual, in love with my hair. read more

This salon is amazing, and I'm so grateful I found it on TikTok! I see Eddie for my haircuts, and he is fabulous. I'm now seeing Frank for my color. When I first came to him, my hair was 50 shades of orange, but he has done a great job getting me to my color goal. Frank is so kind and incredibly knowledgeable on color theory, he takes his craft seriously. I know I'm in good hands when I come here! Also, they serve you yummy drinks and the owner Christine is a sweetheart. The vibes are immaculate! read more

My last haircut with Pam was not great. I don't know exactly what Pam did but I can only guess that she gave me a wolf cut or a curly cut for curlier hair. Only my mom could complain about it to such an extent that I took it seriously. Finally, I texted Pam and she *offered to fix it.* What's wrong with that? I'm fussy curly girl and I've asked for a lot of haircut revisions in my life. Not once has a stylist offered to fix it months later. She probably knew that she did something wrong. Today, I went to Great Clips and it no longer looks terrible. The salon is right by the Hoboken PATH train station. I'm sure Pam will be fine. Edit on 9/7/26 -- Pam texted me a response but seemingly decided not to respond on Yelp. Don't use texturizing shears on curls, folks. Seems like a no-brainer but not for Pam. read more

Even after not living in town for a few years, I still am loyal to Salon Gatto for my hair cuts. From the comfy, clean space to my amazing stylist, Molly, I am sooooo happy everytime I leave. I have long hair that can be anywhere from wavy to just downright messy curls, it's changed over the years. Molly has always made sure to give me the cut that would flatter it most if it air-dried or blow dried myself, not just when it was professionally blown out leaving the salon. I tell her how I usually would do it and she makes sure that the cut works best for that. She has always given me honest opinions or when I thought about coloring it or doing a gloss. I loved that she didn't push me at all for any sort of color even though it would obviously be much more expensive. Before Salon Gatto, over the years, I've gone to other salons closer to home or near work when I was in a pinch or I've seen other hair stylists at Salon Gatto before I found Molly, (I'm sorry but I can't remember any names!) They were always wonderful and I definitely left happy but Molly is my favorite. She is great at her job, not overly talkative (this is a time to RELAX for me) and sweet and is honest. Am I fangirling?? Probably. They have two locations and just opened a whole new second floor at their original location by the Path train, so I love to see them growing and growing!! Other little great things about Salon Gatto: -they have a lovely drink menu that they bring you out right away, which makes visits here feel even more like a treat. -they hair wash is thorough and they will almost always include a really nice head massage. Only great things to say. Book an appointment if you need a new salon! read more

I had such a lovely experience at Salon Gatto! Everyone working here is so kind & welcoming - especially Karelyne, who went above & beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, heard, & that she understood the exact look I was trying to achieve. Couldn't recommend this salon more! read more

Honestly super bummed. This is the worst haircut I've had in at least a decade - and I was so excited because of all the talk around this place! My hair has literal stairs. I'm literally so self conscious. I don't get my hair colored- I ask for legit the simplest hair - face framing and some long layers. THATS IT. the front of my hair literally jumps like 2 inches to the next layer. The face framing doesn't blend at all. It's awful. And I even went back to hopefully fix it but the problem is it's too short. So I need to wait basically 3-4 months b4 I can even attempt to fix this. Super disappointed. The salon itself was super nice and relaxing and the vibe was great - but that's not really what matters at the end of the day. It's been 2 weeks and my hair bothers me each and every day :( read more

I must admit that I've been instagram stalking Salon Gatto for a few months now. Trying to get an appointment to cut my insanely long hair. From all the local salons I've been to over the years and ones I've watched on social media, Salon Gatto actually lives up to their image! I came in and met with Molly. A super cute, blonde woman that's friendly and very talented. She made me feel instantly comfortable. She totally understood what I wanted and my hair turned out amazing! The price was actually a little more than I expected, but since I get my hair cut about once a year, it's totally worth it. When I was done, I set up an appointment with her for December so that I'll already be on the books when I need a refresher. But, now the real kicker, I just found out that I will be losing all my hair in a few months, so I may not need that appointment in December. read more

I always get the best haircuts and have an incredible experience at Salon Gatto and this visit was no exception. I had the most amazing experience with Valeria at Salon Gatto! I went in for a scalp treatment, cut, and blowout--and everything was perfect from start to finish. Valeria was so kind, sweet, and attentive. The treatment was incredibly relaxing, and I left feeling completely pampered. My hair looked absolutely stunning--smooth, shiny, and styled just the way I wanted. Highly recommend Valeria and this beautiful salon if you're looking for a top-notch experience! read more

This was my first time visiting Salon Gatto, and I was paired with Karelyne. She took a lot of time with me to figure out the best plan for my hair goals and did a great job. She is thoughtful, caring, and made me feel valued. I'm super happy with my haircut and will definitely be back! read more

First time @ this salon & the experience was amazing. My stylist, Valeria (2nd floor) was great! She listed to me, walked me through the entire process & was so exact to ensure a great quality cut. Loved the ambience inside, not crowded, & the other stylists were so kind to each other, offering to grab things or cleaning up after one another - rare to see at other salons! Plus the drink menu is so fun, makes the entire thing an experience! read more

Alana is hands down the best hairdresser I've been to in New Jersey. She listens so closely to what you're looking for, along with being such a sweet girl and fun to talk to. Also gives literally the best blowouts! I always go in confident that my hair is exactly what I want and she never disappoint. Highly recommend! read more

If you have blonde hair or a blonde balayage and want to go dark- do not come here. The owner informed me after a botched appointment at Salon Gatto with Alana, that it is not possible to do that (which is interesting because blondes go darker all the time). After second opinions, other salons have said it is possible so I'd advise going there where they are confident in their hair coloring abilities. Initially, I went in to Salon Gatto with a blonde balayage on naturally mid/dark brown hair wanting to go back to my natural hair color. I made an appointment with Alana who was very sweet but an appointment that should have been easy (I've gotten second and third opinions on this) to go back to my natural hair color turned into a nightmare. The one specification that I gave upon arrival is that I wanted absolutely NO red or warmth in my hair as I only look good in cool tones. Somehow I ended up with exactly what I had not wanted- maroonish hair (or mahogany hair as a second opinion called it). This was after 5 hours and multiple attempts to fix my hair. I ended up leaving after 5 hours with horrible hair, dissatisfied and had still paid for the service. In poor judgement, in hindsight, I would up giving them a second chance to fix things the next day. This resulted in an 8 hour appointment inclusive of dark permanent hair color at the roots, a bleached balayage (ie. Whole head was bleached to remove the demi permanent hair dye), highlights AND low lights. This time I left exhausted, annoyed and still with the wrong hair color. Eddie was patient and tried his best to fix the mess that was made by the other hair stylist and the owner also stepped in to help on her day off which I did truly appreciate since my hair was a mess. However, while I was thanked for my time an patience. I was never offered a refund (only a deep conditioning treatment to fix my hair that was now overprocessed) or truly apologized to. Additionally, there was never acknowledgement of wrongdoing from the owner on behalf of one of her staff. Over the next few washes my hair proceeded to turn orange. I had to schedule another hair appointment elsewhere to fix my hair where I was informed that my hair was fried, overprocessed and would take a long time (likely a year or more) to recover. I was also informed that from the getgo if the first stylist had just gone a shade darker than my hair color (or a toner all over) it would have been fine but that she likely went lighter which is what turned me red. Additionally, when I went to my second opinion she informed me that my hair was orange and yellow and didn't have any brown in it whatsoever. What should have been a simple appointment, left me with months to years of recovery. While I appreciate them trying to rectify my hair (while in turn actually making things worse) a sincere apology and a refund would have gone a long way here. Neither of which were received. read more

I wish I had taken photos of my most amazing experience that I recently had at Salon Gatto. My stylist Danny was beyond chefs kiss, he gave me the colour cut and style all girls dream of, perfection. He was on point and more w everything I wanted and dreamed of. I felt like a movie star after. I've found my hair guru. Thank you Danny, you are AMAZING! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Arabi for my wedding hair on 9/20/24, and I cannot recommend her enough! As a first-time user of extensions, Nicole guided me through the entire process with care and expertise. She did two trials with me, always prioritizing my comfort and ensuring I felt confident and beautiful on my big day. From the very first meeting, she was professional, warm, and incredibly supportive, making sure I felt at ease every step of the way. The entire team at Salon Gatto was fantastic - I usually work with the wonderful Kodumu - and anyone I have ever interacted with in the establishment has been nothing short of wonderful, and my wedding was no exception... Nicole truly stood out for her dedication to bringing my bridal vision to life. On the day of the wedding, Nicole and her team arrived right on time, bringing a complimentary bottle of champagne to help set the celebratory tone. She was incredibly organized and helped keep everything running smoothly while creating stunning hairstyles for me and all of my bridesmaids. Nicole's energy was infectious, and she truly felt like a friend getting ready with us, not just a professional. Her talent and commitment to excellence were clear in every detail. I would hire Nicole again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for any bridal services--she is simply the best! read more

I found Salon Gatto almost three years ago when I was looking for a hair change. I was white blonde, tired of the maintenance and was wanting to try balayage. From the moment I called the salon, they were welcoming and lovely, and recommended Piera as my hair stylist. Piera took my bleached locks and turned them into healthy, beautiful, and multi-dimensional balayage from the first visit. Piera has continued to be a part of my hair journey and has helped meet my hair goals even for important moments in my life such as my engagement shoot and my upcoming wedding! Her kind demeanor, ability to listen to your vision, and advice make her a pleasure to work with, and she truly can bring your hair vision to life. I am so excited for more balayage sessions to come leading up to my wedding. Work with Piera and she will make your hair dreams come true! read more

had the best experience as a first time customer! Alana was amazing, constantly making sure I was happy with what she was doing. My hair looked so natural afterwards and fresh.

First time at Gatto Salon, I left a happy customer with exactly the color and style I was hoping for. Billy (thank you !) after listening to what I preferred, proceeded with highlights, root blending and cut, all executed with a high level of skills. The salon with its soft colors is relaxing and comfortable, everyone is friendly, and the complimentary tea I've got was delicious. I am glad I discovered Gatto Salon and I highly recommend it. In conclusion: another well deserved five-star review. See you soon.. read more

I am so happy I've found an amazing salon in Hoboken - specifically finding Piera! I made my first appointment at the salon an two weeks before my rescheduled wedding and she made sure that everything was perfect. She did an amazing job on the color and made sure everything blended at the end. I went back a month later to get the keratin express treatment and cannot be happier. I have very curly hair and it has no frizz and blow dries pin straight. 10/10 - highly recommend!!! read more

Gloss and cut with Casey. First time at this salon and couldn't be happier. She nailed everything- color, cut and blowout which I usually hate. Haven't left a salon this happy in a very long time. read more

I've been going to Salon Gatto since I moved to Hoboken 4 years ago. All the stylists there are PHENOMENAL. Recently, I have been going to Piera and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Most recently, did the hair painting and it came out so freaking amazing. I don't color my hair often (blame it on the years of my parents not letting me touch my hair), so I wanted something subtle yet noticeable and she nailed it! As for the covid situation, Salon Gatto has been taking every precaution. I have gone twice since they reopened and not once have a felt unsafe. Definitely worth a visit! read more

My colorist sadly passed away a few years ago a master at his craft and a dear sweet soul. Since then I have been searching for someone who can work with blonde hair. Its really not easy to find. I have been to a "high end" salon in Jersey city that was a joke. Then having to travel 45 minutes outside the area for someone who I settled for because she did not make me cry. I decided to try someplace new again. Reading reviews I found Salon Gatto in Hoboken. When I called someone on the phone suggested Danny. I came in this past Tuesday not expecting much but was I in for a treat. The Salon is beautiful and the staff where all friendly and full of smiles. I felt so welcomed. They have a drink menu witch is a great touch. So anyway I talked to Danny about what my end goal was and showed him my dream hair color. He also gave me suggestions on hair care after leaving that salon. I could not believe the result.. He did it! My hair came out better then I could imagined. He took out 90% of the brassy yellow I had in my hair. After only 1 time seeing him I'm almost at my dream color. Danny is a master in what he does. I finally found someone I can trust with my Hair. Thank you Danny! I cant wait till my next appointment. read more

oh love my new hair by Molly! I have wanted to go ashy blonde for so long and I am so happy I decided to go with salon Gatto and Molly to help my hair do just that and that too so perfectly! As always the salon is super nice and clean. Everyone is very nice and now they also have a beverage menu that you can enjoy while you get your service done. I am so impressed with the coordination between the stylists and the assistants there. Everyone just works in a flawless symphony that you just want to spectate and enjoy. I had worked with Molly to get my husband's hair highlighted which he also loved btw so I was very excited for my hair. She was so nice and patient with my hair. We discussed my goals and the style and color I wanted for my hair and she was so easy to explain exactly what I wanted. And boy she gave me spot on results! I am super into my hair color and has totally changed my look! I am not going to another salon, I think I finally found my place! Totally recommend!! read more

Literally OBSESSED with how my hair turned out. I rarely get my hair done professionally anymore-- I've been dyeing my own hair at home for years. But during the pandemic, I tried a myriad of rainbow colors and eventually my platinum blonde hair didn't feel so platinum anymore, but rather a weird yellow and green tint. I was too lazy to fix this mistake on my own and instead decided to turn to the professionals. I sure am glad I did! Nicole not only talked me through my options of hair colors, but she really listened to my desires of color and tone when it came to the red and it literally looks better than I could have ever imagined! I finally look like my red-head Irish mom! Thank you so much, Nicole, can't wait to see you again in May! read more

Wish there were more stars to give them. Really love it here. I went for a haircut yesterday and it was one of the best haircuts ever. Easily beat out the bougie NYC salons. The experience was incredible. They (generously) pour you a drink of your choice as you speak thoroughly with the stylist about the look you're going for. I was randomly paired with Hannah as my stylist and I couldn't say enough about her. Can't wait to come back. Who actually has fun getting a haircut?? read more

Hannah P. Is amazing! She took her time and talk to me about my haircut and what my hair goals are! She made me feel very relaxed and trusted her 100%!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. Before moving to Hoboken I was really nervous on finding a new salon. I had a stylist I loved for about ten years before moving the first time and never found someone as good. I assumed when I moved to Hoboken I'd have the same issue. The reviews at Salon Gatto were so great I thought I'd look into it more and give it a try. I highly recommend following the Instagram account. The main account and the stylists do a fantastic job showcasing their work. That's how I found Stephanie. I've always been a blonde (aside from one year when I went dark and will never do it again!) and not everyone can do blondes. I spent a lot of time looking through the work of each stylist to see who I felt matched my style the most. I am so happy I went with her! I also want to mention I was a brand new client after quarantine. I thought there is no way I'm going to find a time slot anytime soon, but they did it! They scheduling process could not be better here! They are so accommodating from the moment you make that first phone call. I also can't say enough about the COVID protocols - expect to be blown away here. I've never felt safer. They focus on one client at a time, take your temperature, make sure everything is cleaned between each process and yes, masks are a must...they also have a little courtyard area where you can go outside while you're waiting. You might look crazy outside in your cape, but it's nice to know you can take a break outside in the open air. Now to the most important part - the work! I can't praise Stephanie enough. She is the right balance of listening to me and giving advice. I don't know how she makes sense of my rambling, but she always knows how to get it right. She is truly an artist. I've never felt a need to even look or try somewhere else. You will not be disappointed going with Salon Gatto. read more
