Wow, Wow....WOW, is all I can say about Salon Sashay Studio of Short Hills!…read more
I lived in Paris, France for 20 years, and had the most phenomenal balayage, highlights, hair color and cuts while living there. Despite their many quirks and eccentricities, the French really are Artists when it comes to hair! Sadly, when I moved back to the US about 8 years ago, I was never ever able to find someone to recreate the same cool and lovely shade of blonde I was used to, while living in Paris.
This past weekend, while traveling from Austin, Texas to visit my parents in Upstate New York, I felt a dire need to highlight and cut my hair. Staying overnight at the Short Hills Hilton, I googled "the best hair salon in Short Hills, New Jersey."...and up popped "Salon Sashay Studio of Short Hills!" I made an appointment. When I walked into the salon door, I was greeted by a big smile and friendly "hello" from Owner Don, Yolanda and my Wizard Hairstylist/Colorist/Hair Genious....Oscar! In my hand to sip was placed a refreshing cup of cucumber and lemon-infused spring water, packed with thirst quenching and therapeutic deliciousness! The decor of this boutique salon was so warm and soothing and was reminiscent of SOHO Bauhaus design, with it's furnishings, clever artwork, luminous chandelier and very flattering lighting :)
Now for the hair. Oscar, an attentive and soft spoken Gentleman, who has been practicing hair artistry for over 25 years, turned my straggly, brassy and way-too-long hair into a shoulder-length, sassy and sexy bob with perfectly cool-toned highlights, from root to end. Oscar took his time to apply the product, check it carefully, and when a section of my hair was "just right," he brought me to the sink to wash it, so that all the hair would end up in uniform color and highlighted perfection!
With a big smile and beautiful hair, perfectly matching the tones I was accustomed to during my Paris days, I headed to Upstate New York to see my parents. To put things into perspective, even my Father, a 94 year-old businessman (who RARELY gives compliments), looked at me and said: "You have nice hair color." Now THAT is saying a lot.
Yes, I will definitely return to Salon Sashay Studio! :) Thank you a million times over Oscar! xo
