I went to Renew Salon to go blonde again, like the owner Jeanine had done previously. I explained I…read morewanted the same beautiful blonde. Natalie assured me Courtney could do it that day. This time, the process felt unprofessional. The salon was empty except for us three. After Courtney applied the foils, both stepped away and when they returned, I noticed a strong, skunk-like smell. With foils already in my hair, Courtney asked again what shade I wanted, even though I'd been clear from the start. I also had made it known that I have not had any dye or bleach since my last visit there. She called to the other stylist in the back for a 'shade book' which never appeared. Later, as she rinsed the bleach, she suddenly asked if I had color in my hair, noting it was coming out darker in some spots. This made me worry. When I raised concerns, they dismissed them. You can be the judge because I uploaded before and after photos. Once dried, my hair ended up a uniform brown rather than the blonde I requested. It looked like something I could have done at home with a box dye and the texture felt weird once I washed it at home. I had chosen a professional because bleaching is risky and I was finally ready to invest in maintaining blonde. The assistant called someone, perhaps the owner, seemingly unable to handle the situation themselves. No action no apology to fix the issue; instead, it was blamed on my hair being 'grayer' than last visit. Even if true, a professional should assess it accurately. More color was suggested, but I know color cannot lift color. With the chemicals already in my hair, I didn't want further damage especially immediately after this. I don't have a big, beautiful mane, I was just trying to maintain what little I have safely, paid full price and left frustrated. I enjoy leaving positive reviews, but I can't this time. That's why I took a "before" photo because I truly expected great results again. Three weeks later, I noticed my photos are no longer visible in the gallery. Because of that, I may need to share them elsewhere. I hope the information helps others.

I've been trying to find a place to get my regular haircuts since I moved to the area over a year…read moreago and hadn't loved any of the places I tried.

I popped in just for a trim, that's it. My hair is thin and short. I saw the price listed as $50+…read morewhich is higher than the $35 haircut I usually pay elsewhere but ok. However, the stylist told me a haircut would be $85. When she saw my surprised reaction, she said that it's because she has senior status but added that other stylists charge $75 anyway. I just wish that the pricing was clear upfront. If the base price is actually $75 or more, that should be indicated on the website or explained in detail. I don't enjoy leaving negative feedback but since I always check reviews before trying a new place out, I wanted to share my experience for others who might appreciate knowing there's a significant jump from the advertised $50+.

I had my first facial at a hotel spa and although the experience through the actual facial was pleasant, my skin was burning and red for 3 days after this facial. And that was probably about 8 years ago and had swore I would never have another facial. All of that changed... My experience. I had a facial by Jessica who took the time to listen to my previous horror story and then took the time to ask about my skin type my problem areas and then took the time to figure out a plan. I can't go in detail about what she used and did ,cause I don't exactly known, but I left with my skin soft and hydrated. I was still skeptical thinking I'll wake up in the morning with horribly red skin and an allergic reaction.... never happened! This is the only place I trust with my sensitive skin! This salon/ med spa does what it says. It will make you louminous!

I cane here on a recommendation from a friend who gets her eyebrows threaded…read more I decided to give threading a try. I always admired the beautiful Indian women with perfect eyebrows. Roma is located in Blue Star Shopping Center in Watchung near the Dollar Store. There is plenty of free parking. I was a walk-in and didn't have an appointment. You can make an appointment over the phone. A woman by the name of Somal greeted me and I was immediately seated in a leather lay back chair. I had my eyebrows, lip, and chin threaded for a total cost of $13.00 plus tip. I couldn't believe it! If I got that done in a regular salon and waxed it would've been around $30 plus tip. The threading itself really wasn't that bad. I think waxing hurts more. I was in and out within 15 minutes. Somal did a beautiful job on my eyebrows and my lip and chin, and I'm so smooth , it feels baby soft. The store was neat and clean . Roma is open everyday from 10a-8p. They offer many services but their threading is what most people come in for. My review is based on that. Great prices, good service and beautiful threading. I will definitely be returning in a month.

Actually comically bad. I came and asked for a cut and layers with curtain bangs and honestly I…read moreshould have walked out because the girl was like "what? layers? not straight across? are you sure!?!". One side of my hair ended up an inch or two longer than the other, the layers were insane, and the bangs straight across and short. It took a year to grow out, and when I went to another salon for help they said nothing they could do would help other than cutting it to chin length. I don't understand how these people are even allowed to operate a salon and I'm pretty sure they aren't actually certified.

This review has been a long time coming!…read more I came here on a whim hoping to get a 45min touch up for my hair from a previous botched "balayage" at a salon in New York the week before thinking that it will be just a small fix. I booked with Maria, she took one look at my hair & texture and told me this is going to be a full session along with the reason why. She shown me areas of my hair that the hair stylist totally missed where I couldn't see myself. In addition, I told her I asked for money pieces/front swept bangs however, the previous hair stylist didn't blend it well at all. It was so choppy I was afraid it couldn't be salvaged. Mortified, I took her advice especially because this was going to be for my wedding. She reassured me that it can be fixed so, I booked a full session with her for the next day. Rest assured, the results were beyond what I imagined. Maria also gave me after care tips (I typically do not get that from hair stylists) so, you can tell how much her and her team cares about their clients. Unfortunately, I'm not from here, my now husbands family are. I don't think I will let anyone else touch my hair except for anyone at this salon. Whenever I come back to visit my in laws, I will most definitely make sure I book a session here as well!

Sometimes, I tell him to add some spice and surprise me with a design. There isn't much he can't do. Kris has cut the hair of every member of my family. He can balance a feminine low cut for my mom and a crisp cut for my brother. Not only do I get my haircut, but I get my brows done and my hair braided. That hot towel feels great after the cut. The vibe is great. As a woman getting a cut at a barbershop, this is important. I feel super comfortable with everyone. I can talk about my life and not feel judged. They are super welcoming. I would suggest any member of the LGBT community that is looking for a barber to give them a shot. I would even just their apprentice to hook it up if need be. Shoutout to the crew down at Lifestyle.
