I've been with this wonderful salon for over well over ten years. When my daughter was old enough, she started coming to Hair Ambition as well. I usually went to Crystal, but when she wasn't available, I was very pleased with the other stylists I've seen over the years. I haven't had a single disappointing experience at Hair Ambition.

This time I made an appointment for roots touch-up and curly cut with Gabby and she really had her work cut out for her, let me explain: I'm really a regular at Hair Ambition but curiosity got the best of me and several weeks before I'd decided to try what I considered a reputable salon in Montclair, well known for color only. After the wash I was led to a self-drying station fully equipped with products and drying & styling tools. So far so good...NO!! As I combed my hair CHUNKS were falling out. To say I was devastated isn't enough, but I digress, this is a review for Hair Ambition. Fast forward, I explained all this to Gabby, she really heard me and I appreciate that She's truly a skilled professional and she worked her magic and fixed my hair. I left feeling great and confident that my hair is on its way back to healthy and normal. The color was spot on as usual and the curls were beautiful considering the damage from the previous salon. Lesson learned, never will I ever go anywhere but Hair Ambition for all my hair services!

She was very professional and easy to talk to, I received a warm welcome and would like to go back for a cut and glaze service. Looking forward to making my next appointment.

I don't write reviews but this has been on my mind for the past 2 months. I came in here last…read moreJanuary for a retouch of a balayage, cut and bangs. My hair was pretty long and the hair color I had was a bronde, once I left the salon my hair was orange spotty and bright "blonde". My bangs were BOTCHED, they were up to the middle of my forehead and my layers were so uneven. I was there for 7 hours, that the front desk even offered to buy me a snack. The young lady that did my hair seemed very unexperienced and had to call others to help out and advise her on how to do my hair. I paid $350+ and still tipped because it was 7 hours of the girl working. After I went home and cried I called the next day and the owner called me to come back in and let her expert fix it for free, Carmen. Carmen then toned my hair down and basically reversed everything the other girl did where I spent my whole day in the salon. She then took a look at my hair cut and nodded her head in disbelief. She cut my bangs to "even" them out and they were 10x worse and so short. I instantly cried in the car and did not know what to do. I messaged her asking for any advice on the bangs! I couldn't style them or push them back NOTHING. She told me to wait and there's nothing I can do. I felt like I trusted her since she brought my hair from ORANGE to the origami color I had. I come back 3 months later because I am loyal and I know mistakes happen, I too work in the beauty field. I go in for my tone and cut with Carmen and was not told a price or anything. The tone looked the same exact thing NOTHING changed it still looked the same exact color and the cut took exactly 2 mins as she was chatting with other people. I am very anxious about my hair because I only had bad experiences here. When I told her she said it's the lighting, I believed her. She asked if I wanted a blow out and I said no thank you because I was going on a run after. She said okay and when it was time to pay in the front she tells me my total is $200! I was in complete shock! I've paid $115 in LA for a Top Salon for a Glaze and Cut, it didn't make sense to me. I asked Carmen for a break down of the price and she was weird about it, I then asked for a receipt and she said she wasn't a receptionist so she didn't know how to print it out. I stayed until she figured it out and saw a 2 min haircut by her was $90! And she charged me for a cut and blow out which is $105 I am assuming? She also mentioned they always charge for blowouts even if you don't want one, this was shocking for me. I payed the $200 and was left in disbelief because out of every time I have came in it's been nothing but a bad experience and this was my last straw to giving them a chance. It was always very fake/happy energy and she gave me her Zelle info for TIP as I was leaving. It took her 15-20 mins to complete the whole $200 service. The salon is always empty and the prices compared to the quality of job they do is not correlating. I understand everything and everyone has a price based on their own skills and expertise but I do NOT recommend this salon. This wasn't my first time getting let down and I never wrote a view. The only reason I am writing this is because I came to a 5 star hair salon in Montclair NJ and I told them my previous experience and they said my hair looks like it hasn't been cut in months! Although I just got my hair cut a month prior, so devastating. They also said the layers were super uneven and the color is washed out to the max. I was completely let down and hurt by all this. The first two pictures were my hair BEFORE ENTERING THE SALON. The last pictures were the after, horrible. I regret paying in CASH I never got a refund and I am in REGRET of ever allowing this to happen to my hair. Save yourself the time energy money and HEARTBREAK

Upon going I found out it is a full service salon, which is great considering I can walk to it. I had an appointment with Alicia, the owner. I had previous grown out blonde highlights.

I've never been so impressed- she really listened and was knowledgeable in guiding me on how to achieve the inspiration photos I brought in. She's very realistic and sets a game plan in order to keep the integrity of your hair. She was able to give me ashier hair while keeping it very soft and healthy.
