I want to hire Aleks and Luz to get me ready for every day of my life. I have never looked so good in my entire life. Aleks killed the hair game with her updo- it stayed all night through dinner, dancing, drinks on a boat. She even helped me write my wedding speech. Luz took 40 minutes to turn me into a gorgeous bronze goddess. She gave me cheekbones. She made me glow. I'm maybe a 4 at best but they had me walking out of there like a 15. Highly highly highly recommend. read more

Great experience!!! Would return for sure!!! Recommend it highly for quality and a positive experience.

I don't get my hair cut often and have anxiety when I do cut it, but every experience here has been wonderful. Melissa is spectacular, attentive, and very encouraging. I am so grateful she was the one to cut bangs for me. I walked out of the salon feeling like a new woman and will definitely be going back for a trim. Prices are expensive but about the same for most salons in Hoboken. Worth it for the overall positive experience though. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile. I've known Julia at this location for the last roughly 3 years. Julia has helped with our engagement photos , bridal shower , our wedding, and many things I've sprung on her in between usually last minute because I'm a pain like that. Julia's bedside manner (feels like the right word?) whether she is doing hair or makeup is exceptional. She talks to you like a person and wants to help you make the right decision for you. She's the person you want helping you with these things when you're stressed out because she's so level headed and just so nice. Thank you Julia, my cosmetic fairy godmother. read more

Lauren is everything. I've been coming here for years to get my hair done. I'd give it 5 stars if it were just for her, my only challenge is it's a little pricey. They do a great job with hair (single process, balayage, cuts, glosses/toners), and I've gotten my make up done here before too for some pretty important events (engagement photos, and my bridal shower)-it's again not cheap but they do a nice job. Lauren has always always always been accommodating to my scheduling needs which I appreciate so much. I haven't had other stylists uptown, but I've seen their work and it's been very good. The only thing I don't really come here for anymore is a blowout, because it doesn't really last for me, so it's not the best investment personally, but I know they have a membership if you're looking for regular blow outs as well. This is my go to, and has been for years-if you're looking to be a new regular, get on their books asap! read more

Up & Out Uptown - Makeup Artists Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Katey (Hoboken Hair Fairy) is an absolute artist when it comes to her clients' hair. I have been going to Katey for 3 years now for my color and curly cuts and I never leave her chair feeling anything less than my most confident self. She listens to what your vision is with color but also sets realistic expectations based on what is best with your current hair texture and color. Katey also does the BEST blowouts that last all day/night (and I have extremely thick curly hair). 10/10 hair stylist. read more

Margherita is hands down the best! She's amazing at balayage, every time I get my hair done I get tons of compliments. I moved into the city but still have been going back into Hoboken to get my hair done by her. The chairs that they wash your hair in reclines and also massages you! read more

Melissa was very detailed and really takes pride in her craft and cares about her clients. I have been been struggling with my curly hair my entire life. Especially as we age and do damage to our hair through chemicals and heat ect. My hair is probably the healthiest it has ever been. I highly recommend her and the salon to any one. read more

I just had Jessica and not only was she so transparent with everything she was doing (I got a balayage and a cut) she was an absolute sweetheart. I'm obsessed with my new hair and couldn't be happier. The music was amazing, the staff was amazing. A great experience read more

Christian did my hair today for my best friends wedding - very important job! - and boy did he wow me. I absolutely love the way my hair came out and I appreciate all the love and time put into it. I will definitely be coming back for more services. read more

Booked an appointment for my bridal shower for Hollywood waves. I called the salon a couple days prior to confirm my appointment for Hollywood waves and the woman on the phone confirmed. Day of my shower as I'm driving to the appointment, Jessica calls me and tells me she's running late and she won't be able to start my hair 15 minutes later. I told her sorry I need to come in on time to make it to my shower. She then says I'm only schedule for regular curls and can be done in twenty minutes and she wouldn't have time for Hollywood waves. Totally understand if they're running late but they should have other members on the team to help out if this situation occurs. Also they need to update their system as Jessica kept saying I'm only scheduled for regular waves when the lady days before confirmed me for Hollywood waves. Avoid this place or schedule 30 minutes buffer if you need to be somewhere. Very unfortunate to have happened on the day of my shower. read more

Jessica has been cutting/coloring my hair for the past 2 years - she is amazing. She listens to exactly what you want and she will suggest ideas if you are unsure. she spends as much time as needed on you, never rushes , and she will call to let you know if she is running a little late or if she can take you early so you don't waste any time. I leave her chair feeling amazing everytime! Thank you Jessica!!! read more

I was skeptical after hearing how bad some of the Hoboken hair salons were, but I was pleasantly surprised. Christian was very detailed in asking how I wanted my hair cut and styled. The salon was clean and smelled good. All the employees were friendly even though they were seemingly petty busy. Christian also does color so it's likely I'll return in a few months for a balayage. He took before and after pics of my haircut also. Styled it so well for a party I had the next day! Pricing was what I expected for a women's hair salon. Around $70 for a haircut (I have long hair) and around $180 for full head balayage. read more

Niki did my hair for my wedding and she did exactly what I wanted & it looked beautiful. I danced the night away and my hair stayed all night long. It was incredible. The team she brought was absolutely amazing, and my friends & mom loved their hair and all looked beautiful! Up & Out is the best- they're reliable and amazing! Love you all! Thank you for bringing the magic into my wedding day. read more

UPDATE: Niki, the owner, replied to my review and emailed me privately - she went way above and beyond. Because of the quality of blowouts here and Niki's kindness, I am updating to 5 stars. :) I want to start off by saying that I receive blowouts frequently, almost weekly, and this spot is definitely the best that I've been to in Hoboken as far as round brush blowouts, however, I'm hesitant to book here because the environment isn't very friendly. I normally book at other salons because of this even though I know my blowout won't turn out as well. So far I've been to the downtown location once and the uptown location twice, and I didn't feel very welcome any of these times. I don't want to go into the details as far as why I feel this way because I don't want to get any stylist in trouble from management, but I did want to point out that the employees here could definitely be kinder. read more

Love this salon, Katey is the best for curly cuts! I've been going to her for over a year and my hair has never looked better. For anyone that may be afraid to embrace their natural curls, Katey is a game changer! read more

I am incredibly disappointed in this salon. I booked them eight months before my bridal shower. I came in for a haircut just to meet the hairdresser I would be working with beforehand. Days before my shower I received a call canceling my appointment because "Christian booked a wedding that same day and would profit more from it." I requested that they help me find another hair dresser or salon that could help me and they failed to. I was counting on them for my big day and will not be using them again for their lack of professionalism. read more

Loved this place! Such a fun atmosphere and the staff are all so friendly and outgoing. I came in for my birthday to get a blowout hair extensions clipped in and curled. Looked amazing and held the whole night. Very happy with everything!! Def recommend. read more

Professional and polished. Up and Out is conveniently located updown and downtown and the sylists there get the job done! Love this place.

What can I say, the service, staff & results are Aca-mazing! I'm at the salon at least 2x/month and results are always stellar. I get compliments on my hair, and it lasts at least a good week! Very important for this blow-out addict. Keep up the awesome service. So glad to have you in Hoboken. read more

Customer service was barely there. A guy did my hair at the uptown location and literally did the bare minimum. Hair looked like I did it (not impressive ) I should've spoken up but the place I'm just seemed like a low class blow bar and I decided to cut my losses, leave and never return. I feel like Drybar is way over priced but I think I'll be paying extra money to be pampered a little bit next time instead of being treated like a burden. read more

Meh. I prefer Blo It Out uptown. I waited for several minutes with my neck in the sink, which is a pretty uncomfortable position, without anyone acknowledging that I was there. People just kept walking past or around me. Separately, I booked with Niki but have no idea whether she was the one who actually did my hair - it seemed like there was a scheduling conflict and someone else just stepped in because I didn't get an introduction and there seemed to be a little bit of confusion from the back room near the sinks. Whoever did it was a) incredibly slow to blow dry so that combined with the late start made me late to leave for my event, b) my curls fell out after about 45 minutes, and c) I'm sort of glad they fell out because I got a weird Carol Brady flip on one side so I ended up re-doing my own curls. Not worth the $40. read more

I love up and out uptown. My hair is thick and wavy and I've gotten terrible blow- outs at more expensive salons in Hoboken. Nicole always leaves my hair feeling soft and silky. She is highly professional, friendly and sweet. read more

I got my hair and makeup done for my baby shower and everything was perfect.I am not a big fan of makeup but it was so perfect that i totally forgot the whole day that i am wearing anything. Hair was done super amazingly as well. Got so many compliments for both and gave referrals too. Definitely going back. read more

This weekend was my first time at the uptown location - and my experience was great! My blow out was perfect, Clarissa was SO professional and sweet!! The salon is always very clean and welcoming. Thanks again for a great experience and hair that made me feel beautiful! read more

Lauren is the balayage queen at up and out! The salon is super fun, relaxed and clean. Everyone is very friendly which makes for a nice environment. They always offer you a drink and make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. Highly recommend!!! read more

One star for product knowledge, one star for cleanliness. Customer service is lacking and so is professionalism. Stick with the downtown blowout bar. read more

Lauren is the absolute queen of balyage! I've been going to her for almost a year, and always walk out of the Uptown salon with amazing hair that get compliments from everyone. She's truly a hair artist. I used to go into the city for my color, but why bother with the trek when Lauren is a 5 minute walk away at 11th and Wash? As for the salon itself, it's bright and welcoming, and everyone is always in good spirits. You're offered a drink when you walk in, and made to feel right at home during your service. Booking is also super easy, as it can all be done online. I'm so happy to have such a salon full of professionals so close to my apartment! read more

After my previous stylist moved overseas, I tried another Hoboken salon and was not happy with the results. Then, I found Niki at Up & Out Uptown and haven't looked back. Niki spent the time necessary to fix my previous haircut. She also matched the color perfectly with organic color. About a year later, and many returns visits, I would suggest this salon to anyone looking for a new stylist in Hoboken! read more

The second location opening was a life saver for last minute bookings! While the downtown salon is my go to (it's only a 5 min walk from my apartment) the uptown salon has a super chic vibe and offers a wider array of services which is super convenient. read more

I would give zero stars to this salon. Starting with Chris! He is the most unprofessional, ghetto, insensitive person I have ever met, he is careless of his clients, while I was there while he was doing my hair there was a client that called to see if they could arrive a little earlier and he was rude on the phone and when he hung up he started talking shit about the customer saying! " she thinks she can do whatever she wants" she is gonna have to wait" who does she think she is? Telling his helper all of that in front of me! didn't care I was listening! Then he did a terrible job! I went in for blond highlights and he did a dark root with low lights!! he needs to go back to beauty school doesn't know anything at all! before I even sat down I showed him the picture from his own insta on how I wanted and he said he could do it! Then he rushed me through the process! the entire time took 3 more customers while he was working on my hair! Took 6 hours and sent me home with shit looking dark hair no highlights and dark stains on my forehead I had to literally ask for something to remove them myself !!! No kidding! and then when I said he needed to do more highlights because I didn't ask for dark brown hair! he said that's all he could do and he blamed it on me! He said "you came late today" and we are closed now! It was 8:30 pm and I had arrived at 2:30 pm! Late 5 minutes! he is a drama Queen he couldn't get over that! and he said that I needed to come back another day if I wanted more highlights m! he said he won't charge me And I even tipped him $60. When I called to advise I couldn't make it to appointment he got mad on the phone! Treated me like garbage and refused to reschedule saying he had a conference and when he said he needed to correct it he said there was nothing to correct when he knew he messed up in the first place!!! worse of all he said I was charged my credit card without my authorization $200 as a no show fee! I told him they never answer the phone when I called how can I cancel if I am unable to speak to anyone! However I got through him and he still charged me! he even brought up I was late the first time! Again!!! they never advised me there is a no show fee of outrageous $200 for something they messed up to begin with, if it wasn't for his petty job I wouldn't had to come back in the first place. I ended up with a petty job!! paid $560 for the low lights I never asked for and tipped the guy 20% on top of it and got charged without my consent $200 for something they said It was a no show when they don't pick up the phone on purpose so they can steal your money. I never gave them consent to save my credit card on their system. these people are fraud!!! They say it's on the website about the no show fee but the website says nothing about it! They are all unprofessional! Hang up the phone on me when I asked to speak with the owner and now they don't answer the phone at all when I call! they must see my phone on their caller id! DON't waste your money going there you'll end up with CLOWN HAIR! !!!! Shit petty business!!!! And petty CHRIS!!! LOW CLASS DRAMA QUEEN!!!! read more

I was so happy when they opened a second location in Hoboken! AND they do cuts at this one! Blowouts are their claim to fame but they also do an incredible job with cuts and color. Highly recommend. read more

Love this place. They never disappoint! Christian is a sweetheart and always does an amazing job on my hair. Who wouldn't want to get a blow out while sipping on mimosas. This is my escape when I'm home with two kids! read more

I got my hair and makeup done for a wedding reception. The owner Niki did the hair and Theresa did the makeup. Everything turned out great! They are patient and listened to what I wanted and gave recommendations. They spent a good amount of time. I had a great experience and would definitely go back! read more

I love Up & Out (both locations). This is always my go-to place when I need my hair to look nice. They have a great 3 pack for when you know you'll be needing a few blow outs in the next coming weeks/months. My hair always stays a few days (with the help of some dry shampoo) and they really cater to what you want. It also doesn't hurt that you can enjoy a glass of wine or champagne while getting all done up! read more

I used up&out for updos, blow outs and makeup for my wedding day, engagement pictures, bridal shower, and rehearsal dinner!! Everyone at the salons made me feel beautiful every step of the way and I'm so thankful that I found a beauty salon so close to home that I could count on!! Niki was so talented, friendly, and easy to work with. She did an amazing job the day of my wedding styling not only my hair, but my 4 bridesmaids and my MIL. I'm so happy they opened a second location closer to my apartment. I would definitely recommend up & out for anyone going through the wedding process, or for anyone who just wants to feel beautiful! read more

As a loyal customer to the downtown location I was so excited to see Up and Out expand in size and services in their uptown location. The salon is soo cute and all of the stylists and super friendly, professional, and talented. I've always been with Nikki, the owner, who is so great!! Every time I visit I leave happier than I came in, can't recommend enough! read more

I LOVE this hair salon - very friendly and totally get what I wanted. I got an haircut and balayage and Kellen (the Hairstylist that I would recommend) just nailed it! I will definitely come back. read more

Up and out uptown is a full service version of the downtown one. Great haircuts in addition to great blowouts. Christian is my go to guy. My weekly guilty pleasure. You will leave there with your hair looking perfect. Ask for him trust me you won't be disappointed. read more
