I'm so glad I found Sandy! She is so knowledgeable about hair and takes the time to educate her clients so they truly understand the service they are going to recieve. I have struggled with getting my curly hair to curl the way I wanted it to and after she gave me a curly cut, my hair was been looking better than ever! I went back to have her color my hair, after I have had it bleached and dyed many different colors for years, she worked with me to find a color that best suited my complexion and my hair's needs without completely sacrificing my love for being blonde! read more

I've been a customer of Solo Hair Salon for approximately 2 years. I have been very satisfied with all of my salon visits. Sandy is very meticulous and truly strives to make her clients happy. She even, goes as far as, ordering my take-outs at a local restaurant that we both enjoy (lol). I can't forget to mention her very caring assistant Thuy. She is adorable! Thank you for your attention to detail! Daisy read more

I am so pleased with my experience with Solo Hair Design. The owner, Sandy took my 18 month old in for a hair cut on a super last minute appointment. Sandy was extremely accommodating and very friendly towards my toddler, who is very timid around strangers. We are very happy with the cut and we will definitely be back! Thank you, Sandy Warm Regards, Jenny, Andy & Lily Lai read more

Absolutely not worth the price. super expensive. Charges double price even for a reschedule. Too much of attitude.

I am a 24 year old male with a receding hairline and thinning hair. Sandy at Solo Hair Design not only identified ways to improve the health of my scalp and hair but also ways to cut and style my hair for improved aesthetics and confidence. Recently my hair loss has exponentially increased. More and more hairs were falling out every morning while I was styling. After spending countless hours experimenting with different hair loss prevention techniques found on the web, especially TikTok, I decided to take my questions to a professional. I did the consultation and we found how clogged, oily, and waxy my scalp and hair follicles were (YIKES)! I purchased Sandy's recommended products for scalp and hair health, and adopted her hair care routine. Two weeks after, I can definitely say that my scalp and hair health have drastically improved. I see less hair falling out in the morning and I even see baby hairs coming out! Sandy also gave me a hair cut which improved my confidence in my active lifestyle. I have wavy/curly hair so my premature goals were to grow out the top of my hair as much as possible to cover every perceived balding spot. But there was one problem. Every time I would work out, attend dance classes, and walk outside I would fear the wind - a balding man's natural enemy! Sandy called out the issue and explained that a hair cut should look good in any condition, whether it is wet or combating the usual aftermath of most athletic activities. After the hair cut I found myself not worried about the wind on my commute to work or while I workout. I even drove with the windows down for the first time and my hair still looked great! In fact, I stopped putting styling product in my hair because the new hair cut looked good without it -more time to fit other things into my morning routine prior to work! If this sounds like you, here is my piece of advice: Schedule a consultation with Sandy at Solo Hair Design! read more

I came to Solo hair design after a horrible accident with my hair. On my first visit the owner, Sandy, shared her knowledge with me and gave me so many tips on how to slowly bring my hair back to life. She wasn't joking when she told me that if I stay consistent with hair care, there will be a drastic change with the health of my hair. Even though i've been going to Sandy for only a few months, my hair has never been as shiny, thick, and soft to touch. With the amount of knowledge and skill Sandy has, her salon is worth every penny. read more

Really? $75 for a men's haircut? Do they think they are in NYC? I pay $45 for a women's cut and go to the top salon in Central NJ. This is insane. I found their competitor down the street for $35 for men's cut. Price gouging big time. And I saw another post saying owner is "fake and greedy", this explains it all. read more

This was my first time going here for a hair cut in the Edison area, and I had a wonderful experience! Making an appointment was easy and I was seen on time. Sandy, the owner, was extremely welcoming & friendly upon arrival. I enjoyed chatting with her while she did my hair! I wanted a short haircut and she even gave me suggestions. I would definitely come back here for all my hair needs! read more

Great service and very clean! Sandy really listens to you and works with you for your haircut/style.

I've been going to Sandy for over 8 years. Not once have I ever left disappointed. I was ready for a change so I called up Sandy to discuss some of my ideas. Her advice and knowledge alone makes her one of the best. She walked me through my options and helped me decide what's best for me. Before this visit I have never colored my hair. Sandy knew I wanted a change but to still look natural and that's what she did. I was nervous about the change because I've had long hair and never colored it but with Sandy's help I'm so glad I went through with it. I cannot express how happy I am with the results and to have a hair dresser that I trust so much. read more

Just back from Solo and could not be happier. Tomorrow my Goddaughter is being Confirmed . Naturally I wanted my hair to look pretty so I set up an appointment last week for this afternoon. Today's weather was just awful and I could not get out (or so I thought;) . I cancelled my appointment with Inessa. Figured I would do my hair myself. --Disappointing but what can a girl do?? Turns out the rain stopped and I got a msg from Sandy asking me if I would like to keep my appt in light of the "hold off." (I was so happy Sandy reached out to me as I did not have the heart to ask them for my appt back.) Got to Solo just a few mins later than my scheduled appt but Sandy, Innessa and receptionist Sue, and Shampoo Person Twee greeted my warmly (like they always do.) Very much looking forward to celebrating with Ciara tomorrow and my hair will look nice in the pictures because Inessa pays great attention to detail. It is no wonder Solo was chosen as Best Hair Salon 2016 in The Home News Tribune Reader's Choice Award for Middlesex County. Highly recommend....-- read more

Sandy is literally THE best! I don't trust anyone with my hair, color or style like I trust her. Always listening, never disappoints and no one has techniques and talent for perfection like her! read more

Being a Brooklyn born and raised chick I am programmed to be a no nonsense, get what you pay for, know what you want type of shopper. I pick my service destinations not by convenience but by value, talent and treatment. When it comes to my hair this is where I go and why. The shop atmosphere is small but cozy and not cramped. The front desk/manager is courteous and very efficient even under stress when the shop is crowded. She books all appts and calls you a few says prior to remind you, as well as working her magic squeezing you in for hair emergencies. Inessa does great color, gives an excellent cut, takes her time and is a true perfectionist. Oh. the shampoo lady gives an amazing head massage too! read more

The only reason I give this place 5 stars is because of my one and only hair stylist, Charo!!! She is the best, she's been taking care of me since I was 11 years old (I'm 31 now) and I will never ever ever let someone else touch my hair (unless is for a blow dry). I live in NYC and I travel all the way in public transportation just to see her. I don't care about the salon she works at, I just follow her!!! She's always up to date, stylish and super nice!! I always let her do whatever she wants in my hair but I will NEVER trust someone else! read more

I've gotten my hair cut by Sandy for a while now, since before she opened this new location on Amboy. Bring an idea or even a picture of what you want and she will deliver! She also gives good advice on what kind of cut would be good for your hair type, so if you're unsure, definitely don't be afraid to ask. She's also a hoot to talk to, gives great advice and fun conversation - a two in one service ;) every experience I've had here has undoubtedly been packed full of laughter, and I always leave with a smile on my face. I've only ever gotten my hair cut by Sandy, but I have heard great things about the other stylists there and everyone is super friendly. The space is very cutely decorated and gives a very calm and soothing vibe. I would definitely recommend coming here for an all around great experience! Pro tip: if you have trouble managing your hair, ask Sandy for hair product recommendations - she knows her stuff!! read more

If I could give a zero, especially after the experience I had this evening I would! I have been coming here for years only because of Inessa who gives an excellent cut and does great color. At one point I stopped coming here because I could not stand how fake and greedy the owner Sandy was and how rude Sue is (their manager, that basically takes appointments and your money). I returned because I guess I forgot how horrible this place was because I knew Inessa was great. Continued to come here for several years dealing with their rudeness and fakeness. Today, I truly regret ever returning and giving them my business over the years. I should have left when all of my family and friends stopped coming here. From a loyalty standpoint, they do not value your business at all. Sue is a rude, grumpy, and a mean nasty old women that can't even do her job (making appointments). Today, I was driving to a 6pm appt with Inessa after work only to get a nasty call in a decrepit oversmoked voice stating that my appt was at 5. When my response was no my appt is at 6, (#1 There is no way I would ever make a 5 o'clock appt- it's simply not feasible with my career, #2 I have a calendar that outlines by every day because my days are very busy), Sue's response was "Well maybe if you listened to your messages." I am sorry but when I make an appt at 6 and put it on my calendar, I don't need a curtesy reminder - I am a responsible adult. So instead of apologizing for the confusion, owning up to her mistake, or trying to find a resolution she tells me - again in her decrepit oversmoked voice - "well Inessa has to leave!" She may have as well said something like...."Well that's not my problem!" I could not believe the audacity of this woman! Her response to the issue pretty much summarized how much they valued the business I was giving them! Not only can Sue not do her job but she has absolutely no integrity. She completely lied!!! Anyways, to summarize - if you want to be treated like crap - go here! They are fully trained professionals in treating people like garbage! read more

For the last 20 years, I have never allowed anyone other than Sandy Yip cut my hair. She is is the owner of the place and is an absolute doll! She is always keeping up with the current trends and styles and I'm always getting compliments on my do. For those Asians out there who are always wary of hairdressers who end up giving you a flat cut that replicates the ring... fear no longer. read more

I needed to find a skilled hairdresser after having a horrible, traumatic experience with the hairdresser I had been going to for over 20 years. I was left with a butchered, awful haircut, but then the COVID-19 pandemic happened and with hair salons closed for 12 weeks, I had plenty of time to research new places. After one awkward haircut at a salon that has apparently now shut down, I went to Solo Hair Design after checking out some online reviews and their Facebook page and I couldn't be happier! The owner, Sandy, keeps the salon immaculately clean and adheres to all the standards needed to keep her customers and staff safe while in the salon. I've been there twice and I've never seen more than 2 customers and three salon staff, Sandy, my new hairstylist, Inessa, and the lady who washed my hair, in the salon, so social distancing rules are being strictly enforced in addition to mask wearing by all inside. My new hairstylist Inessa, is an outstanding, skilled and friendly person who took the time to really listen to me, looked carefully at the photos of the type of haircut I showed her on my phone and then gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had! I can't say enough positive things about her. She is a true professional who truly cares about her customers and is committed to making them look great. I have so much more confidence and feel so much better about my hair since I have had Inessa as my hairstylist. Do yourself a favor and go to Solo Hair Design. You will be so happy you did. read more

I had my hair cut by the owner, Sandy. She told me that if I referred my friend to her, she would give me a discount on my next hair cut. I did refer my friend, and my friend duly mentioned to them that she was referred by me. When I went back for my next hair cut, Sandy did not honor the referral and she charged me full price. Moreover, for the hair cut, I explained to her that I wanted the same hair cut that she did the last time. She acknowledged that she remembered how to do it and agreed to cut it the same. As she was cutting, I noticed that she was doing a different cut. At the end, the hair cut was completely different. I asked her what happened and she said that she had just returned from training class and wanted to experiment on my head with the new hair cut that she learned. I was really upset because that was not what we discussed and she had no right to experiment on my head. The cut looked horrible. In a lame effort to justify her actions, she explained that she is friends with one of my ex-co-workers and said that she didn't like me. What a unprofessional bitch! Needless to say, I would never go back. read more
