Belisa Salon

Marisa was pretty solid. She listened throughly to what I wanted in my blow out, and she asks questions to know exactly what you want. The scalp massage was heaven. It lasted forever, and i literally could have fallen asleep. The place is nicely decorated and looked pretty clean. Next time I’m in the area I would definitely return.

Okay, so I got a Groupon for a facial for only $ 24.00 and I got basically what I paid for. First off, location is truly Meh! Lady who did the facial is competent but barely so, no I wouldn’t go there again due to the location and the bare minimum experience

I purchased a Glamour Girl package through Groupon. The package included a mini facial, hand treatment, make up and blow out– a great deal! I scheduled my appointment for a Saturday afternoon.
When I arrived, I was greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly and welcoming. She offered me coffee and took the time to talk to me about my skin before the facial.
The facial and hand treatment took place upstairs and was incredibly relaxing. I’ve never had a hand treatment before and it felt great with the hand warmers. My face was very moisturized afterwards as well.
I have to admit I was nervous about getting my makeup done because whenever I get it too it’s usually too over the top. However, I like how it came out and it really made my eyes pop. My skin also looked flawless. The blowout also made my hair bouncy and really brought out my layers.
I really enjoyed my experience at Belisa and was pleased with the results and received a lot of compliments. I definitely recommend their packages for the value and high quality of treatment that you will receive. I plan on going back!

the absolute worst wax experience i have ever had. Wax was left all over, hair was waxed uneven and not even at all in spots. residual wax was left all over and the technician giggled when I told her she ruined my pants. And bruises all over from her incompetence, I will NEVER return for wax service!

GREAT service. Love Marisa, she definitely has a talent. And the owner is so pleasant and wonderful. I love coming to Belisa. It’s definitely a treat, especially the scalp massage. :)

Today I had a trim, partial highlights, and blow out at Belisa salon. Smita was payed attention to small details and noticed that my haircut from last time was uneven which I had not previously noticed. Also she asked me a lot of questions about my haircut and tone of my highlights to make sure she did my hair how I wanted. No complaints about the trim or blow out, however in my highlights there is one highlight a little thicker than others which hugged me a little but it’s not very noticeable, I’m just a tad OCD. My favorite part of the visit was that she threw in a complimentary scalp massage and deep conditioner when washing out my highlights. Overall it was a positive experience and I would return and recommend her to a friend.

I bought a groupon for a haircut and keratin express treatment. I thought it was nice in the salon, the staff was very friendly and professional, and the treatment has held up well. The owner is the one who did my hair and she said she took over the place last march so I’d disregard older negative reviews on here. I would recommend.

Scheduled my haircut with Marisa, after reading the good reviews about her here.
The place was a bit hard to find. It pops up out of nowhere on old matawan road — it’s tucked in at the end unit of a small strip mall. Parking is in the back.
New owner was very warm and inviting; she offered me some coffee and also gave me a tour of the place while I was waiting! They have a beautiful spa upstairs where they perform eyelash extensions, facials and other spa services.
Marisa was very sweet and patient with me – she always repeated and confirmed everything I asked for, checked if I liked what she was doing as she went and gave me a glorious scalp massage during the shampoo. She also styled my hair exactly the way I usually do (and then some) — she listened when I gave her this information at the beginning of the haircut.
The lacking of one star is because my appointment was for 1:30, but I wasn’t seated until 2:05. This is probably because Marisa seems to be the in-​demand stylist at Belisa – there were other stylists who were free as I waited. Although, the haircut and blow out only took a little less than an hour, which is pretty quick for my thick, out-​of-​control hair.
Will definitely return — I’ve finally found my favorite hairstylist!

I went to this salon for my first professional partial highlight and a cut. Marisa did a FANTASTIC job. I would recommend her to anyone. The highlights are even and tasteful. She really went the extra mile and talked with me about what I wanted. She included a ridiculously relaxing scalp massage while the toner was evening out the color and the blow-​out looks great. High quality products, reasonable prices. I was also able to make an appointment only three days in advance. This place is really hidden on Old Matawan Road there, but it’s worth a visit. My only negative was that when I set up the appointment, I was told they took American Express, but after my treatment, I was told they did not actually accept it, which messed with my budget a little. Other than that, the entire experience was exceptional.

Based on good reviews on Unilocal,I bought the livingsocial coupon for Hot Oil Moroccan Hair Treatment with Scalp Massage and Blowout ($ 20) (regularly $ 50).
First off, I got an appointment for 1:30 PM and when i went there I was told that the appointment was at 1:00 and I was asked to come back at 4:40 or wait till 3:00. This was a real bummer as I went there from work at lunch time and had some plans later on.
As I had already driven, I waited. The seating area to wait had sun burning my back and it was really uncomfortable. Once the treatment started, I was told I need to pay $ 10 extra for long hair. I have hair till mid back. Any hair below shoulder is considered long hair. Which is weird as I would call shoulder length as short. Next. I was really disappointed as the scalp massage was just for 1 or 2 minutes. The whole session took less than 30 minutes. My hair seemed the same. Not any difference to what I do at home. I wouldn’t be going back here anytime soon.
Other than my personal experience, let me list down some pros and cons.
Pros:
The girl who took care of me was very confident in what she did. Seemed like she is very experienced.
The interior of the salon was clean and hygienic.
The interior decoration looked very nice.
The products used were Red-​ken.
cons:
No receptionist. The girls working inside rush to pick calls which means they are in a hurry and bound to get time/​details wrong. Also most of them don’t speak good English.
No Screen to keep the sun out, I guess they switch off heater and let the sun do the heating. Burnt my back when I was waiting and I felt VERY cold when I was inside during the session.
Not very friendly to me (may be due to coupon) as they seemed very friendly to other customers.
The neighborhood was kinda scary. I was worried about parking my new car in their parking lot.
Small salon with individuals who can do only one thing. So when the hair stylist is off, you cannot get appointments on those days.

I also had a groupon for this salon. The downside is when I asked for the next available appointment they had nothing until almost 2 weeks later! Another issue is that my nails got a little bit messed up but I think that may have been a mistake of mine not the lady who did my nails. Not sure how they got messed up since they looked fine after she did them and I did my best not to touch them or anything.
However, the lady i had did an amazing job! She even threw in a little massage for free «her treat». Very sweet lady. Overall, I like the place but not happy with the wait and still wondering how my nails got messed up. –_​_​–

Not happy about the way i was treated by nail lady. I bought coupon on Grupon for mani pedi. Once lady heard i had it, i could not get an appointment for weeks. After two months i finally got in. Then lady charges me extra for french. Will never return to salon until they find a new nail person…

I just love my hairdresser Isabel!!! She knows exactly what kind of haircut and color makes me look gorgeous. Whenever I make a suggestion, she never steers me in the wrong direction, and tells me whether or not I should do it. She’s the best!!!
