I have been going to Ruk since like 2015? 2016? And I normally go here 1-2 times a year. I moved to Jackson 5yrs ago and still go all the way to Bayonne for her! It's hard to find someone who knows your hair! So, I've been going to her for a hot minute! I don't know why people are saying Ruk and her crew are not professional. They are talkative, relatable, and real people. Don't you want to feel comfortable esp if you're going to be In a salon for a few hours?? Honestly, I don't know Ruk's crew by name besides her daughter but I talk to everyone and everybody is great and super nice! Ruk is just a whole bunch of awesomeness. She knows I have no idea what the heck she's talking about when she's explaining stuff to me. But is trust her and give her full range on what to do. Whether highlights, lowlights, balayage, whatever! I know my hair will be taken care of and the products she uses won't damage my hair. They also added an addition to the salon. So, they also offer facials and eyelash treatment done by her daughter. This place is cool, hip, laid back, but get the work done. Depending on what services you get, expect to be here for a few hours too. Since this shop is in Bayonne, there is one street parking. My suggestion is to make your appt as early as possible to secure parking in the front or else you're going to end up driving around looking. I've suggested this salon to many people I know. I still suggest Ruk's salon to this day! read more

I made an appt with Ruk specifically via phone but she never touched my hair or even talked to me. I have no idea who did my hair. I actually saw the IG influencer Jeanne there who I know via her IG that she is a frequent customer. Ruk's entire attention was on this influencer. I guess it makes sense that the salon would care more about her than a new customer. However, it still felt a bit crappy. Just be transparent if there is no capacity or please set the correct expectations. I would have totally been OK waiting another couple of weeks if needed. There was another customer who came in for a consultation with Ruk and Ruk took about 1 hour to finally talk to her. Then when that customer was trying to book an appt, you can tell Ruk was trying to have the customer book with another salonist. When the customer then said that she was trying to book with Ruk specifically, Ruk then said sure. read more

I haven't wrote a Yelp review in a long time, but here I am. Overall, ok result, but probably one of the worst salon experience I've ever had. I used to work in NY and would go to a salon there. I came here because my previous salon is too far for me. I decided to come here because it's well known and it's closer to me. I was able to get an appointment with Ruk after DMing her on IG. I've been getting my hair done grey for years already. Some stylists would be better than others on making my hair grey, but also frying my hair at the same time. I also went from balayage to just bleaching my whole hair, which that's what it was before coming here but my roots grew out. My appointment with Ruk started off with her asking about my hair journey to the best of my memory, what I want to do, and then the rest of the appointment was her making comments that made me feel like my hair was an inconvenience for her. I knew the appointment was going south when I was telling her my hair journey and she says at the end with a sigh, "Well, I guess I'm the last stop." Throughout the appointment, she kept making comments such as, "I don't know what to do with your hair," or "I can't breathe while doing your hair. We'll figure it out." She also talked to other people more while doing my hair instead of getting to know me. Mind you, I was there from 10AM to about 7-8pm. She also combed my hair a lot and doing it pretty hard. My scalp was hurting and I feel like I lost so much hair. Besides Ruk, there was an assistant who was nice, but also seemed new. She was washing my hair... and then accidentally had a bunch of water go onto my face. I actually asked for an extra towel because one half of my face was wet. You also know something was wrong when my whole back ended up being wet. Ruk had to use the blow dryer to dry my back.. Near the end, my hair ended up alright. With one toner, my hair looked like a sort of bright grey/ash blonde. I honestly would've been ok with that, but Ruk went onto do another toner so that I wouldn't see the yellow/brown in my hair peeking through. So we do that... and my hair looks nearly black. I'm not sure what happened, but it looked so dark in the end but in certain lighting it was a dark grey/black with a little bit of bright blonde. I loved it at first, but then going home and seeing it, I got a little upset. She said it would fade out, which I'm grateful it did. Ruk recommended products that would help my hair stay healthy and not brassy. She also gave me a sample of shampoo and conditioner. The Redken line definitely is worth it though. At the end of my appointment, I was just so fed up with everything that happened and wanted to cry a little bit. I even called my boyfriend after to tell him everything that happened. Also, I also ended up with bleach spots on one of my favorite pants. I ended up paying a lot of money and did somewhat like the end result as I had washed my hair after 72hrs, but I was upset with how the whole appointment played out that I'm not sure if I want to come back here. I would rather make the journey back to NY than have this type of service. read more

Love love LOVE this place!!! It's such a vibe. Always feeling comfortable and walking out feeling fresh and renewed!! I started going here back in 2018ish? of which I was very scared and timid in dying my hair bc I've never done it before. Like ever!!! Now that I've been coming here for a few years now and doing subtle but amazing changes to my hair, I feel like it's a staple in one of my many steps of self-care routines. I just know & trust Ruk's judgment and knowledge about hair, especially of asian hair. Not only have I progressed in my vanity (haha) but I've also noticed the salon's staff and their professionalism and passion for what they do. I'm more observant than people know. The salon's staff are so knowledgable, patient, professional, and passionate about their job and hair. Each member does their best to ensure that the client feels comfortable about what it going to be done at the date of service. Ruk definitely spends the time in educating and providing options for the client to choose when it comes to making changes to hair color and/or style. Recommended: If you plan on doing a big change, make sure you schedule a consultation or express to the assistance when reserving a time slot, what you are looking to get done. Doing this ensures that you get the appropriate time and service for that day. Ya know, people's time and your time are always precious. Make it right! :) Every time I get my hair done, I've ALWAYS received compliments and always rave about Ruk and her salon. It's so worth the drive up!! I'm excited for the upcoming blessings for this business. I recently saw one of her staff put extensions on a client and it was soooooo AMAZING!! MADE ME WANT TO GET SOME!! hahaha but next time. I'm exploring the capability to change my hair. Will post a pic later with the recent change. Went for a color - pink!! so I'm feeling that "Black Pink" (Kpop) vibe!! ;) :D read more

Ruk does my color and cut and I'm always 100% satisfied! Jennica does my lashes and my first time getting them lasted 6 weeks! Just went back for a refill and they look amazing. read more

This was my second time at Skye Stylez. Jennica was polite, patient, and attentive. She helped turn a haircut I wasn't crazy about into something I love. read more

I had a bridal trail yesterday that went horribly. For starters, I got to my appointment time at 3:30 pm (someone called me the day prior to move up my appointment to 3:30 instead of 4) I was greeted and then ignored. I was very clear on the phone that I would be driving an hour and a half from my home to come to you. My time was blatantly disrespected. I was told to sit and wait. I was finally taken back 40 minutes later for makeup by Mo making the time 4:10. While my car is on a meter. While the girl who was doing, my makeup was sweet but the mascara on my eyes was only on half of my lashes and on my eyelid that I had to point out. She got glue all over my cheek and had to peel it off once it dried with tweezers. Also, my lips and eyebrows were uneven. I asked Jonalyn for curls and one braid which is a pretty easy task but I got mated waves and a glued-down braid. My hair was also burned by the time I left and had a horrendous odor. It still smells like burnt hair. I am so discouraged from this experience where I was supposed to leave feeling beautiful and I left looking horrible. I took so many pictures of how disgraceful this look came out. It's pretty bad when the owner sees how bad this is going and "tries" to fix the damage. 6 hours plus travel and $270 bucks later. I emailed for a refund and got no reply back. I'm so discouraged by the poor quality I received I don't even want to do another bridal trial and just want to do it myself. read more

Skye Stylez Studio is everything you can ask for in a hair salon! The minute you walk in you are offered a beverage. I got a full balayage session and every step of the way they explained the process and also constantly ask if I'm comfortable. Not only are they super talented but their customer service is superb! My hair always comes out so beautiful. Ruk is my stylist and she always makes me feel pampered while also ensuring the end result is exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend! read more

BEST SALON! Amazing color & cut! Great staff + chill environment. I always go in knowing I'll leave feeling brand new

I have been visiting Skye stylez studio over the years, and they have been consistently maintaining the shop, upgrading equipment, and mastering their artistry. I love that this place is always clean, it makes me comfortable that they do not cut corners in safety protocols. In my visits the team have always been so kind, patient and welcoming. The vibes of the shop from all the staffs attitude to the ambiance is a pleasant experience. They are hard working professionals that treat everyone that walks in the door, from first time customers to regular clients with the utmost respect and kindness. read more

Omg Juna is the best! I came in for a basic cut and she made my hair look so awesome. She was also super sweet, she really understood what I wanted and suggested other modifications to my cut that I didn't even think of (which turned out awesome). I will definitely be going back!! Bonus: they use and sell Redken products. read more

Great experience! Marisa was amazing! Skye Stylez Studio is my go to place for all my hair and eyebrow needs read more

I've had my hair cut and colored by both members of the Skye Stylez Studio team: Ruk and Tyra. Believe me, your hair is in safe hands with either stylist! I've been a client of Ruk's for many years and she is an amazing stylist / colorist. She is always on top of the current hair trends and is in-tuned with the latest hair styles and coloring techniques. Ruk is very attentive and listens to what her clients want to achieve while humbly offering her own insight and recommendations for your hair type. Naturally my hair is dark brown with red undertones which is historically a nightmare for colorists. Ruk has been able to color my hair every shade of blonde, from a darker ash blonde to the lightest platinum blonde, without all of my hair breaking off. She's truly amazing at what she does. She takes her time on each and every client and you never feel rushed when you're in her chair. I receive compliments on my hair every day...not that I need them to know that Ruk has done true art on my head of hair. Thank you, Ruk! read more

Honestly the best hair appointment I've had, I left feeling lighter and more confident. When I came through the door I was met with kind people and a good atmosphere! They offered me my beverage of choice. I had Jen she was the sweetest and we chatted the whole time. She listened to what I wanted and gave her respectful opinion. We ended up doing a much needed big chop. read more

I wanted a change from my blonde balayage to copper so bad but I couldn't keep going to my old place cause they got crazy expensive and my lady who used to cut my hair retired. I was so nervous to try someone new but I'm happy I did. Jennica did a beautiful job on my hair. She colored and cut it perfectly. I have straight but thick hair that likes to do it's own thing lol. But she knew what to do. And I loved the color so much that I've decided to keep it for a while. Definitely recommend coming here. Ask for Jen. She's amazing! read more

Overpriced for the quality and unprofessional. They decided to post on their social media midway thru my appt that there would be price increases, instead of stating it at the beginning of the session. At the end the charges they included did not make sense. You are better off going somewhere with better service for how much they are trying to charge. read more

Scheduled me for 5:00am for a 5 minutes consultation and made me sit for an hour. They have no respect for time....highly disappointed!

This salon does such a great job with handling everything going on with the pandemic, just heads up you must schedule prior to your visit and upon arrival you get temp checked at the door and fill out covid-19 forms. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Skye Stylez - Rose Gold hair coloring done by Marisa - Makeup Artists Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

I'd give this place a 0. My advise .. don't go! They have no consideration and respect for people's time. Extremely unprofessional Cut, color and style took 7 hours!! 3+ hours to style hair, twice I was late to functions because it took that long to style my hair, just curl and style. Finished product was ok. Made an appointment specifically for Ruk and twice someone else did the styling and both times they were 30 mins late with the appointments. Never went back again. Save your money for a stylist that cares and professional. read more

I went here once and will never go back. Ruk, the owner, she was 1/2 hour late for my appointment, which I found unprofessional. She was talking about all these supposed celebrity clients, but she works and owns a salon in Bayonne. Not sure how those two things go together, but I let her talk, because I just wanted my hair to look good. Ruk did both a haircut and color. She seemed rushed and I supposed she was already running late. The haircut was choppy and much shorter than I wanted. For color, I brought in a picture for reference - I was looking for a color like Selena Gomez has with caramel highlights. Ruk was supposed to give me caramel highlights, but I walked out with way too many highlights and the toner was blonde - which almost looked like a single process platinum. My hair color base is dark brown. She didn't listen to what I wanted. She told me I looked better that way and how beautiful I looked. Well, when I left, I was crying. My best friend offered to take me to another salon to fix it, which I ultimately did. Both the haircut and color were very expensive. I paid over $250 with the haircut, color and conditioning treatment. Very upsetting experience. She did not seem to care that I did not like it and she did not offer to fix it. read more

I have never dyed my hair until this year, but after getting my hair done by Marisa, I'll definitely be making appointments in the future with her! She walked me through every step, making sure I knew exactly what was going on and that I was comfortable throughout the whole process. Then, I saw the final result and it was AMAZING. The balayage she gave me looked absolutely gorgeous. I've also gotten my hair done (curled) and my makeup done by her. If you're going to a special event, and want a look that will give you absolute confidence, ask for Marisa. You won't regret it! read more

Ruk is the best! She is the only person I trust to cut/color/style my hair and I'm a picky person. She delivers every time and is always up to date on trends. She's open to having fun with different colors as I've dyed my hair various colors before. My hair remains feeling healthy and silky as if it's still my natural hair . I love what she does to my hair and I always comeback! It's worth the travel. read more

Would highly recommend going to Marisa, whether it be for a simple trim and style or coloring your hair. She's got an amazing eye for what looks best for you and makes sure you're comfortable the entire time. Not to mention, great music taste! I had a lovely time at Skye Stylez and cannot wait to go back soon. read more

Great salon and great service! They really know know hair - esp Asian hair! Marisa does my hair and it always comes out on point.

Love Skye! Ruk and Marissa do such a great job! You can't go wrong! I've been going for years and have always had a great cut, color, and/or styling! read more

I've been coming here for years and never once had a bad experience. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly while also being professional. The salon is modern and clean which is always important to me especially during the pandemic. My hair is always taken cared of and I always leave satisfied. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a salon with a little bit more edge than the norm read more

So after my barbers uncle messing up my haircut o decided to finally invest in a salon to do my hair... best decision ever! Not only did she cut my hair but she made sure it fit my face, washed it, then styled it and showed me how to... AMAZING! read more

I do not recommend this salon. The trial run for my wedding hair was good but the day of, it turned out nothing like the trial run and was actually ugly. I told the owner (who was doing my hair that day), and she brushed me off by saying, "oh, I'll fix that" an proceeded to hairspray it even more! Because I was the last to go being the bride and time was not on my side, I had to leave and just accept my hair looking horrible. After the wedding, I spoke with the owner and all she could do was get tearful and tell me how much pride she had in her work. Never offered an apology (I didn't like my hair and told her the day of and she brushed me off!), never offered a refund and we paid her THOUSANDS of dollars to do 7 bridesmaids. Just a horrible experience with an owner that doesn't know proper business fairness. And for the prices they charge, you'd think they were top notch. They don't deserve what they charge...no way. The owner is a nice person but competent, she is not. I will never go back and recommend the same for anyone looking to book at Skye Stylez. read more

I had a cut and blow out from Tyra today and I'm so happy with it! She took the time to discuss with me how much to cut and what would be best for my hair type. The cut is so good, my hair feels so much healthier! I left with a great blow out feeling confident and beautiful with my hair. Thank you Tyra xxo I will definitely be back. P.S the environment in the salon is cool, good music, they offered me water & tea and they have cute decor. read more

I highly recommend this salon. Ruk is amazing! I was recommended to her through a friend after another salon ruined my hair. I left from Ariana's Day Spa with orange hair. I called Ruk in tears and she scheduled me in as soon as possible. She fixed the mess the other salon did. She gave me the look I wanted. She was very patient with me and listened to everything I had to say. My hair color and cut looks fabulous because of her. read more

On Friday I made an appointment for the very next day without a problem. Everyone was extremely nice l, patient and kind. My stylist Tyra was wonderful. She was super friendly, was honest and geared me in the right direction so no false hopes. She took her time doing my hair and it feels great. Even took the extra time to explain to me everything she was doing along with how to properly take care of my hair. She was able to transform my hair from a dry red crunchy mess to soft and flowly. place is great I highly recommend them! read more

Overpriced for unprofessional work. Strike one was she was late which was unprofessional. The girl didn't listen to what I wanted and kept criticizing my color. I asked for layers and she basically gave me a mullet. The transition is messy and she kept blaming my hair color for the choppy effect. I didn't ask for her opinion, my hair looks disgustingly choppy, and I paid too much for a haircut in Bayonne. Horrible experience. read more

100% Satisfaction!!! Ruk never fails to deliver...her knowledge & commitment to her kraft & artistry shows every time. She performs her magic leaving my hair simply gorgeous. Skye Stylez Studio provides top notch service while giving you an at home family experience. I've been Ruks client for many years now & I wouldn't know what "my hair" would do without her. read more

Ruk is the best! She takes her time and her attention to detail is impeccable. I am never disappointed when I visit.

I look forward to my appointments with Ruk. It means I will have at least another two months of compliments on my hair everywhere I go. Ruk understands highlights, balayage, ombre, lowlights, toning, base color and how all of that comes together if you want it to. She takes no pleasure in the final product unless you do. She also isn't someone who will sit there and say yes to whatever you want (because let's face it, sometimes what's trendy at the moment doesn't always suit you but sometimes we're so caught up in the hype) unless you are really sure about it. She could have easily taken my money for multiple sessions to give me the grey hair I wanted, but she sat there and explained to me realistically my skintone is naturally fair, I also don't tan easily and I don't really wear much makeup (i.e. bronzer) so if I wanted to go gray it will wash me out, we can still do if I really want it but she was just suggesting either blonde or even purple (another trendy color) would work much better. So we ended up going blonde (my first time going that light) and even without going gray I was able to see exactly what she meant (the ashiness of the blonde was sorta washing me out already, still looked amazing I got compliments even in my conservative company). She will analyze your hair and will always try to suggest the process and products with least damage. I love how when Olaplex was first coming to the east coast I immediately called her to ask if she would be including it in with her services and she immediately said "Yes, already ordered and just waiting for it to arrive." It really shows that Ruk is on top of her game and really passionate about using only the best products in her studio. I was afraid that cutting my long hair to the medium length that's in right now would make my round face blow up even more, she says no way she loved the idea and now I get more compliments than ever with the hair down to my butt. She has earned my complete trust. Another thing, my husband has gone to a barbershop all his life and last year decided to grow his hair out a little and since he sees how much I love Ruk, he went to her also to maintain his slightly longer hair and now he doesn't want to go back to a barbershop ever again even though he's considering chopping off the long hair. She takes her time even with men's haircuts and like a real stylist does his fade with scissors (which my husband thought was a thing only high end barbershops did). For the quality of work and products Ruk uses, her prices are beyond fair. I work in the city, am willing to pay top dollar for really great work, and live about 45 minutes away from Ruk and I will still go to her every time for cut and/or color. read more

I have been going to the same hairstylist for 15 years and never had a reason to change. I recently moved to Bayonne a couple of years ago and needed a good picker-upper. One of my good friends told me how she went to Ruk and by the look of her hair.. I needed to try for myself. Ruk is now my go-to girl. She is super professional at the same time super casual and fun. She's up to date with the latest fashion and makes sure she nails exactly your vision PLUS more! The shop is so chic and comfortable. She takes her time and makes sure she's every strand of hair perfect. If you are looking for a good stylist, she's the gal! read more
