Since it was my first visit, they created my account on the spot and made the whole process smooth. I went for a layered haircut to shorten my hair a bit. I showed the stylist a reference picture, and she completely understood the look I wanted. The session started with a nice hair wash, followed by the cut and blow-dry. The stylist did a great job -- my hair feels light, fresh, and styled just how I envisioned. They also offered tea, coffee, or other drinks as a kind gesture, which I really appreciated. The entire service took about 45 minutes on a Sunday, and I walked out happy with the result. The total cost came to $99 including tax, which felt a bit pricey to me for a haircut. However, the experience and quality were good enough that I'd consider going back -- hopefully when they have some offers for their regular clients!

G&C Hair Studio

Last Sunday was my first visit to G & C Studio, and I'm so glad I finally found Gina!…read more Before making my appointment, I spent times to looking through reviews and photos, hoping to find a hairstylist who could truly understand what hairstyle would suit me. I'm happy to say that I believe I finally found the right stylist! Gina carefully evaluated my hair and recommended a digital perm that would best suit me. She explained that I would need three different levels of curls: a root perm at the top, soft curls in the middle, and medium curls at the bottom. I really appreciated how carefully she considered my hair and the style I wanted. She also pointed out that my hair is quite dry and recommended using K18 hair treatment after the perm to help repair and strengthen my hair. Her professional advice gave me so much confidence, and I had no worries at all. Thank you so much, Gina, for your professional recommendation and for taking the time to understand my hair. I'm very happy that I finally found a hairstylist I can trust!

Today, I went to Great Clips and it no longer looks terrible. The salon is right by the Hoboken PATH train station. I'm sure Pam will be fine. Edit on 9/7/26 -- Pam texted me a response but seemingly decided not to respond on Yelp. Don't use texturizing shears on curls, folks. Seems like a no-brainer but not for Pam.

I asked for shoulder length haircut, repeatedly repeated myself for four to five times, and I didn't get what I asked for. Lana--the owner and the person who did my hair--did not fucking listen to what I wanted; she didn't wash my hair beforehand so that was a sign and started spraying my hair wet with those spray bottles. AND my hair was fucking dripping wet...if I was at Avalon's, my hair wouldn't be dripping wet. She, then, went and grabbed the scissors and started to cut my hair shorter than I wanted.

I absolutely love this salon and can't recommend LLS highly enough! Kris, who does my color and…read moreowns the salon, is phenomenal. She is an incredible listener and takes the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for, then talks through different options and the tradeoffs involved - especially when it comes to getting color to last versus how frequently I want to come in for maintenance. She is thoughtful, honest, and incredibly attentive, and she always makes it clear that she'll work through any concern I may have with the result if something isn't quite right. That said, I've been coming to her for years and it has never not been to my liking. She just gets it right. Hayley is my stylist, and she is equally fantastic. She cuts the best bangs on the East Coast, is incredibly talented, and is also just a genuinely lovely person. Every haircut leaves me walking out with gorgeous hair. She takes the time to talk through how I actually style my hair at home (which, admittedly, is nowhere near as good as how she styles it!), what will change once I'm doing it myself, and gives me practical tips for recreating the look. I really appreciate that she considers not just how the cut looks when I leave the salon, but how it will work for me afterward. And the environment Kris has created is a huge part of why I keep coming back. It's warm, comfortable, and filled with an incredible combination of talented, thoughtful, and genuinely funny people. The attention to detail is exceptional, and it's abundantly clear that everyone there cares about their clients, their experience, and getting the little things right. Ive lived in JC for almost 7 years now, and salon hopped across at least 4 other salons before I found LLS - believe me when I say just how rare it is to find a salon with this level of talent - just book your appt. now, trust me.

I came in very excited for my appointment and was expecting a full highlight/balayage…read moretransformation. Before booking, I sent photos of my current hair, a previous photo showing my balayage, and inspiration photos from Alysa's own page showing the dimensional, blended color I liked. I also spoke with someone at the salon beforehand and made sure my information was passed along to Alysa. I explained that I wanted to keep my hair on the lighter side since my current balayage was already more blonde. I was looking for warm caramel/honey tones, brighter face-framing pieces, soft ribbon highlights, dimension, and a natural blended finish. During my appointment, Alysa asked what I wanted, and I specifically told her in person that I wanted the color brought closer to the root with a blended transition. Unfortunately, the final result did not match the vision we discussed or the inspiration I provided. The back and crown area remained very dark, and the result felt more like a shadow root and refresh of my previous color rather than the full highlight transformation I was expecting. It appears that the new growth was mainly shadowed and the existing lighter pieces were re-lightened instead of creating the brighter, dimensional look I requested. The color also turned out more brassy than I expected. I felt the toning process was rushed. It seemed like the toner was applied and rinsed out very quickly rather than being left on long enough to properly neutralize the brassiness and achieve the softer tone I was looking for. I was also disappointed with the finishing of my hair. After a color service at this price point, I expected a polished salon finish, but my hair was left puffy, rough, and not styled the way I expected. It felt like there was still product left in my hair, and I had to go home and fix it myself. The blowout fee was an additional $80, which made this even more disappointing. My previous stylist was very detail-oriented and always took her time. Even though she relocated far away, I always left her salon feeling confident, with my hair fully styled, soft, and beautiful. I have never left a salon feeling like the stylist was rushing through the service. I also did not appreciate the way Alysa discussed my hair being "not prepped" while speaking with another stylist in front of me. I was never sent preparation instructions or an email explaining that my hair needed to be prepped in a specific way before my appointment. I have never heard of needing my hair "prepped" in that way, especially since many salons actually recommend coming in with hair that has not been freshly washed before a color service. If there were concerns, I would have appreciated being informed directly and professionally rather than hearing the conversation while it was being discussed with another stylist. I also feel I was overcharged for the service I received. I paid for what I understood to be a full highlight, but the final result appears more like a partial highlight with a shadow root and a refresh of my existing color. The outcome did not reflect the level of service or transformation I expected for the price I paid. The most disappointing part is that after spending this much money, my friends and coworkers did not even notice that I had my hair done because the overall appearance looked so similar to my previous color. I was expecting a noticeable, brighter transformation, and instead I left feeling like the change was minimal and not worth the time, cost, or effort. The service was $560, and I still left a $125 tip because I appreciated the stylist's time and effort. However, I was disappointed because the final result did not match what I requested. I now have to find another salon to correct the color because my crown area is still mostly dark, which is not what I wanted. Overall, this experience felt like a waste of time and money. I paid the same price at other salons and left with hair that was beautiful, soft, fully styled, and exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this salon. I would advise others to be cautious and think twice before booking, especially if you are looking for a detailed color transformation and a stylist who truly takes the time to understand your vision. A stylist who takes pride in their work should not let a client leave feeling like they received a partially completed service after paying for a premium color service and blowout.

You can clearly see old color was refreshed and mostly shadowed from crown to new growth.

This is the other side-- puffy and feels still wet.

The salon itself is super cute painted in hot pink, Dolly Parton themed and just overall welcoming. I've been loyally seeing Collie for haircuts since she's a genius when it comes cutting thick hair. Unfortunately, Collie has moved to another state and upon setting an appointment with the front desk, they set me up with Anatalie. The salon asks for clients to fill out a form prior to the appointment in which one of the questions asks for an inspo pic (see below). I also want to note it takes me an hour to commute to downtown jersey from Brooklyn where I live now. The salon is empty and it's just me and Anatalie. She informs me that most of the stylist are gone summer Fridays and that she's covering for some of them. During our conversation, I find out that she's actually the owner of the salon and that she's not usually behind the chair. We have a great conversation, she's very down to earth, very likable, and very easy to talk to. I showed her the inspo pic before she started cutting, and I also told her that I included it in the form. Im requesting for a long shag with a 2 inch trim for any split ends. At this point, it's almost over two hours that I've been sitting in her chair and now she's rushing to finish the trim post blow dry because her last client is waiting. I think we've all been there where we're sitting in the chair and we see ourselves in the mirror and it's not looking like the inspo pic but we're hoping its because it's not styled how you would do it at home. At this point, I'm not trying to be negative but Anatalie tells me that "if I see anything that looks off or needs to be trimmed more, to call in for another appointment" to which is a alarming especially since she knows that I don't live nearby. When I get home, I brush my fingers through my hair and I feel that the ends of my hair were absolutely not debulked. It looks like a block of hair straight across. My layers were completely uneven; one side of my hair was thinned out way more than the other side. My right curtain bang was cut in too deep so it goes past my ear. She also cut much more than the 2 inches I requested. I texted the next day to see if I can get another stylist to fix it since it doesn't seem like she is familiar with cutting thick hair or possibly it's been too long since she's been behind the chair. I was told that it has to be her as there are no refunds offered. I paid about $165 with tip total. I did go to another salon and paid over $100 to get it fixed but the length of my hair was compromised and there are areas like my curtain bangs that can't be fixed since hair is missing. I wish Anatalie was straightforward and could've told me that a shag is out of her expertise and that if I come back another day, someone else could've attended me. And although a refund isn't going to grow my hair out, it would've been nice to have that to cover going to another salon.

The blow-dry was equally concerning--poor technique, no control, and no understanding of how to create volume. The end result looked unfinished and amateur. It's extremely frustrating to have such a poor experience after years of trust and recommendations. This visit fell far below the professional standard I expected from Laket & Co.

I booked with Jack and the experience was fantastic overall. My last haircut was awful because the stylist didn't listen and went too short. I like to still be able to put my hair up because I have a toddler. Jack explained what the calligraphy cut might and might not do for my specific hair. He managed expectations well! He washed my hair - let's be honest, the best part for most people! The cut was cool to watch with the calligraphy tool, and then there was a deep, 10 min long, conditioning treatment, included. The idea being, once the hair is cut this specific way, it should absorb moisturizers and volumizing products more easily. Then he rinsed and we moved onto a bit of clean up and styling. I love this cut. I'm including a photo of how it looks just "wash and go" for me, since that's how it'll be 99% of the time and I'm so glad it's a nice layering cut that I can still put up in a bun, but adds more movement and texture!
