She has absolutely helped guide me by answering any…read morequestions about hair cuts or colors whether I bring in photos for ideas or use a hair term that I'm unsure of haha. A little over 2 years ago I went elsewhere to have my hair dyed into a pink balayage (tried to test a local salon to me) and after over 7 hours my hair was wrecked, and not the right color at all. Joanna saved my hair! Literally offered to give me what I wanted or discussed my options financially too. I decided let's do blonde cause I've never done it. She warned me it was a slow journey to do it in a healthy manner that would maintain the integrity of my hair. I've never been happier with my hair. I get SO many compliments about how it suits me and everyone asks how they can get this color overnight. (You can't, or you shouldn't haha) I attached some photos to show the cut and color we have achieved and my hair is very healthy for being so processed. I definitely buy bumble products because they help. Listen to your hairdresser! I owe my hair to Joanna! My self confidence is better now that I love and am proud of my hair. Thank you Joanna!

Plenty of parking. Shopping center location. Joanna was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I have really curly hair and not everyone knows how to deal with it but she's a true pro. She was detailed, I had pictures and she gave me realistic expectations. I don't think I've been this happy with a cut in a while. Even though I live about 45 minutes away, I'll be coming back.

He guided me through every step over time, never damaging my hair once. He was super accommodating, made sure I felt comfortable the entire journey, and now I'm living my best blonde life. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your hair goals and keeps your hair healthy, he's your guy. Honestly, 10/10 every time! Oh, and let me not forget to mention, the salon environment is a whole vibe. Every time I come in, he makes sure I'm taken care of coffee, snacks, you name it. I actually look forward to my appointments just because the space feels so welcoming. It's not just about the hair (though, the hair is fabulous); it's about how he makes the whole experience so relaxing and fun. It's like being pampered by a friend who's also a wizard with color!

Being fairly new to the Manalapan area, I took a chance on Maxim Hair Design, and was thrilled with my new haircut and color. The salon is very clean, the stylists are so friendly and it's a place where you can feel comfortable. My colorist and stylist just looked at me and knew the perfect hair color. And, when I showed her pictures of possible hairstyles, she did exactly what I wanted. I will definitely go back to Maxim and I will recommend it to my friends!! If you visit Maxim, you won't be disappointed with your experience.

I had the most incredible day of pampering at Avanti Day Resort in Manalapan. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the space feels luxurious, calming, and truly world-class. I started with the Himalayan salt cave experience, which was so relaxing and restorative. It's the perfect place to unplug, breathe deeply, and just reset. The complimentary use of the sauna was such a beautiful added touch and made the whole experience feel indulgent and complete. My red carpet facial left my skin absolutely glowing -- smooth, refreshed, and event-ready. You can truly tell my esthetician was a professional. And of course, my blowout with Val was flawless. She gave me volume, bounce, and that polished finish that lasts. I walked out feeling confident and completely put together. Avanti is the definition of a full-service day resort experience. Whether you're prepping for an event or just need a little self-care, this is the place. Highly recommend treating yourself -- you deserve it.

I have been to Avanti many times over the past 8 years & had recently returned after taking a 1.6…read moreyears off from highlighting my hair. With that said, I desperately needed a haircut, single process & highlights for a graduation party. The only day available was a Sunday & unfortunately, the stylist that had previously done my hair didn't work on Sundays so, I had no choice but to book a new stylist and this turned out to be a huge mistake! My (new) stylist was nice but over booked & ultimately my hair was burnt off. It was obvious to me that while she was putting my highlight foils in that she was working with several clients at the same time which lead to her requesting that I sit at the sink so she could have her assistant (who also washes hair) apply a "quick processing" single-color on my grey-roots...followed by a glaze application (again, while the stylist attended to her other clients). When the stylist told me that her assistant would be applying both my root color & glaze...I said, "I would wait for her if she needed to tend to her other clients first" and I was dismissed and told to go to the sink. I think if you are paying upwards of $500 for an appointment it should be the trained stylist & not the assistant applying the color. My scalp felt hot & I had questioned the procedure to the young girl several times as I was clearly uncomfortable about the whole situation because my hair had never been done this way before at Avanti. After the assistant removed the foils & was washing my hair I had asked her "if I had a lot of fallout" and she told me, "no not much" which I later learned was not true. Obviously some fall out is expected with bleach but this appointment took off a shocking amount from my crown and sides of my head!! The whole experience was not up to the Avanti standard. I got there at 11:30am & left at 4:30pm with an okay haircut, bad blow out, less hair on my head (which is the most traumatic part!!) and a messy highlight job. The highlights are chunky in some spots, the glaze seems to have taken to "most" of the highlights and definetly not in other noticeable places. The front is lighter then the back. It's very blonde in the areas where clearly the hair is now missing...the bad blowout was so quick (again because I felt that the stylist was rushing to get to her other clients) and my hair can fluff-up/appear frizzy if not fully dried throughly that I didn't understand how burnt my hair actually was and how much hair loss there was until after I got home. I regret not waiting until the colorist that had done my hair previously was available...no clue if the amount that is now missing off my crown & sides will grow back in & how long that would take if it actually does?! The appointment was $500 and with tip I paid out $625 cash which is just sickening to me given how I look. I NEVER write REVIEWS but this was just too upsetting not to share.

The best $25 blowout EVER!…read more I love this salon and their policy of only charging $25 for a blowout regardless how long or thick your hair is! Considering some salons want to charge $45 for the same service - I only have been using The Concept Salon since I moved back to New Jersey! I also love the salon's easy online booking system; you can see all available appointments and book whenever you need. The salon is very modern and clean. The receptionists always offer you water or coffee even when they are busy - which in my opinion never goes unnoticed. The stylists all take their time and care about what type of blowout you want- I personally prefer Desiree. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the salon does not allow you to book your blowout with the stylist you want; they give you whoever is available which in my opinion is time consuming. If you have a hair stylist you prefer and want to go to regularly is it beneficial for both parties. The hair stylist will eventually know how the customer likes their blowout, so customers do not have to waste time in the beginning explaining or showing the stylist photos. I would LOVE if the salon allowed customers to book with specific stylists, other that I would highly recommend this salon if you are looking for a blowout.
