Mania Hair Studio

I’m shocked that this place doesn’t have four or five stars. I had a great experience there! It’s a gorgeous, spa-​like salon. The employees are very sweet and super hospitable – both owners came out to introduce themselves to me on my first visit. Impressive! The employees at reception are great too, making and changing appointments is a breeze and they even sent me with a sample of a hair cream we chatted about. The salon also exclusively uses bumble and bumble products – a nice bonus (and it makes the whole place smell so good).
They use a tiered pricing system so there are stylists available for any budget. I had my hair cut by Jackie, who was the best stylist I’ve had in ages! She really listened to what I wanted and worked with my natural texture (2a/​2b wavy curls) to give me a great cut! She also showed me how to use a diffuser and how to tame the baby hairs around my face! Life changing.
Even though she was a higher tier person I thought the price was reasonable, especially considering the experience felt so luxurious.
I would definitely recommend coming here!
PS: be advised they do not take Amex.

I’m in love with all the attention to the details and professionalism from the Mania Hair Studio’s entire team!
My stylist Rachel de Blasio is skilled and passionate about my hair color, cut and overall hair –styling. She has helped me discover the best look that reflects my lifestyle and my specific needs.
Great work, Rachel!

I always love my color with Judy and the staff is always friendly and knows my name. Today’s service, however went above and beyond. I had my hair colored with someone else (Judy wasn’t there) and the woman who pulled my color through and washed my hair forgot to clean the dye that had gotten in my ears. Unfortunately I discovered this when I was already at home. When I called Manias to ask what I could use at home to remove the dye, the manager got on the phone and asked if she could come to my house and bring me the dye remover solution. Eager to please! Got my 5-​star rating.

I’ve been going here for years. Super, reliable, professional and pretty affordable. Staff is trendy and trained at the Bumble and Bumble salon in NYC, they also use Bumble and Bumble products which I love! I travel from the city just to come here, which says a lot. Angela, Angelica, and Jessica are my fav, but everyone is well-​trained at this salon. I would definitely recommend.

I’m honestly so surprised to read negative reviews for Mania’s. I’ve never had anything less than a stellar experience with Jessica N., who has been cutting and styling my hair for the past three years.
The salon itself is gorgeous, and they use all Bumble & Bumble products, which I’m a huge fan of. The stylists explain to you exactly which products they’re using, and giving you a sheet with all of the information on what they used, if you want to buy the same products to use at home. Every staff member is incredibly professional, from the front desk to the stylists, and I’ve never seen anyone look anything less than impeccably presented.
My very first visit to the salon, after returning to NJ after living in Pennsylvania for four years, I was greeted by the owner, and was given a gift bag to thank me for being a new customer (with samples of Bumble products).
The prices are phenomenal for what you get — $ 56 for a haircut with a mentor level stylist is incredible. With tip, you’re still walking out for under $ 100, which is a steal in this area, especially for the quality of services and how fantastic your blow dry will look (and hold up!).
I’ve never been disappointed with Jessica, and find her extremely personable and talented. When I say I only want my ends trimmed and a little length taken off, she listens and makes sure I’m comfortable with what she plans to cut before going for it — so again, I’m surprised by people who say that the staff doesn’t take client feedback and does what they want. I’ve never had that experience there.
Don’t try to park on the street, there’s a lot in the back, and a back entrance. You can book your appointments online (sign up for their emails!) and you’ll get emails back to confirm your appointment, or have you set up something else. It’s incredibly convenient (and they don’t make you feel like a total pain in the ass when you go back and forth for five emails trying to schedule something).

I love! I go to one of the stylists there and she completely saved my hair last time from a bad ombré I got at another salon. She glazed it and gave it a new cut and made my hair look great again. Just got a trim and blow out again and the cut and staff was friendly and wonderful :) Gives out free samples of the products they use at the end of your appointment and are always helpful when trying to figure out what to do with your hair. Definitely recommend!

It’s funny how all of the five star reviews are filtered, leaving the people who have had a bad experience; not sure what Unilocal is playing at.
Anyway, there will always be mixed reviews about salons because it depends how you perceive the outcome of your hair– you either like it or you don’t. That being said, my personal experience at Mania is a positive one. I’ve been here multiple times over the last couple of years to get cut and color by Judy. I am a blonde and she does what I want done to my hair, simple as that and I am always satisfied with the beautiful result color.
Things can get really pricey as they add up, but what can you say for a good salon in Bergen County? The only way I am getting cheaper is if I have one of my friends cut my hair or go to Parisian school.

Mania’s salon has some very knowledgeable stylists and colorists. Hair is art. Sometimes we will disagree about what looks ideal. Even inbthose instances, I was treated with respect from my stylist and management and was helped until i was pleased with the outcome. Very professional.

I came to this place looking for a change as I have been with my stylist/​colorist for many years. The person that did my hair suggested to go lighter on my hair color which was fine for a change, the cut was just so so. I really wanted to give them a chance, today I came back for a touch, my colorist only saw me ones, that was when she put the color in my hair, did not see her after that, she doesn’t even have a clue how my color turned out. The blow out was a freaking big joke, I really could have done a better job myself, she practically just blew dry my hair, talk about a bad hair day. This was the worst! I don’t mind paying, but I feel that I was robbed $ 44.00 for the worst blow out of my lifetime. Not to mention that the staffs are very snobby and catty.

i LOVEd angelica at mania. she was amazing. she gave me exactly what i wanted for bridal hair. got soo many compliments but most importantly i was thrilled with the results. i was able to still wear it the next day after sleeping on it and dancing well into the night. i would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to all family/​friends. i used them for my bridal party as well and the results were also great. yvette at the desk and rest of staff were really nice and helpful as well.

Went to the Salon for a haircut for me. Salon is pretty and modern inside, the team is friendly. Unfortunately the haircut I got was really bad — even supercut would have been better. After 15 min of work including washing the lady declared work done and asked for 34 $. She mentioned that she was sorry for trying something new ;) I definitely am sorry I went to this salon.

Started going here after I switched jobs. Hard to find a decent place up here on the border of NY. The salon is very deceiving from the street. It looks kind of like a house. Once you get inside, it is very modern. Everything is clean and new.
The woman who cuts my hair does a pretty good job. I am not a big talker while I get my hair cut and I think she has caught on. I’ve got to say, the best part of a haircut for me is the hair washing part. A little scalp massage goes a long way.
This place is a little pricier (28 $ for a mens cut) than I would probably like, but it’ll do.
Street parking is a pain, park in the lot in the back. Also water and bagels while you wait is great. They also take apointments online. They also take credit cards and you can over pay on your card and get cash back to tip. That is a key feature for me.

I’ve tried Mania’s a few times over the years, trying different people in hopes that someone would blow me away. I wanted to like them b/​c I live nearby, their prices are reasonable and they have decent hours. However, I’ve always left underwhelmed, and this final time was no different. I gave them a shot b/​c my normal stylist was on vacation for two weeks and my ends were in poor shape. I figured a clean inch or two off would be something they could manage… I was wrong.
I sprung for the «mentor» level haircut for about $ 56, the girl was friendly albeit she looked unkempt (which is rare for a hairstylist). I came equipped with many pictures and was very specific in my desired outcome.
The 45 minute appointment was borderline torturous as she did nothing but talk about herself and her personal gripes/​troubles/​unrealized dreams — I felt like i was being held hostage in that chair. Not once did she bother to get to know me or ask me a single question… I felt like a bartender while she unloaded.
The situation went from bad to worse when I saw her adding a TON of long layers to my straight bra-​length hair (similar to Kristin Davis’s hair). I made it 110% clear that I was desperately trying to grow out my old layers and did not want them touched since my hair grows so slowly.
When I left, she had lobbed off about 4 inches, and shaped it into a box instead of long and flowing like I came in with. The worst part was that she added the layers all over and the faceframe, leaving me with «The Rachel» haircut from Friends circa 1992.
To top it off, she gave me the laziest, half-​assed blowout I’ve ever seen. She used a crappy old brush that was too small for a blowout and missing many bristles. She left my hair damp in many areas and with millions of flyaways — as soon as I walked outside into the summer heat, it immediately frizzed up, as anticipated. Immediately it went into a ponytail.
It gets worse… I had just recently had my hair colored (and told her this) and the shampoo that she used (probably clarifying) basically stripped most of the color and I’m now left with a red tinge I can’t get rid of on my brown hair…
I am extremely unhappy and have worn my hair in a ponytail every day since my cut. My normal stylist is one year out of beauty school and does a better cut than Mania’s «mentor» level. Mania’s needs to find some new «talent» because if she’s their ‘mentor,” they’re in trouble.
Horrible experience… again. Lesson learned.

Not a good experience for me, and I really wanted to like it. Had a haircut, which was okay, nothing special, but not terrible and highlights, which were a disaster. I feel that you get what you pay for with this place… it’s a factory.

I used to be a regular customer at Mania’s. While the salon itself is beautiful I never felt comfortable or welcome there. The staff seems a little snobby and a little catty. I always felt like I was being judged. That sounds slightly paranoid, but I swear those were the vibes I got.
Anyway, I was only ever impressed with a couple of haircuts I got there. I think those might have been flukes. No lie, one day I had that Carol Brady, mushroom-​cut over a flip look going on when I walked out the door. How you say… LE NOT SEXY.
They can cut hair, but there isn’t anything fabulous about this place. I don’t know about you, but food can get away with being 3-​Star A-​OK. Drinks can be 3-​star A-​OK. I need a place f*cking around with my hair to be 5-​Star Woohoo! As Good As It Gets!

Mania’s Salon in Park Ridge is phenomenal. A few years ago, when Michelle’s in Woodcliff Lake had a couple of hair stylists who were not happy about how they were being treated and they moved to Mania’s in Park Ridge. A bunch of us, including a few of my mom’s friends and their families decided to switch allegiance and come over to the Mania side. And man, we are glad that we did! Mania is one of the most professional yet friendly salons I have ever been to, with a selection of stylists and pricepoints to choose from. They do a phenomenal job, especially with curly hair, which is a huge deal to me because I-​like many other curly haired people-​am a frizz-​a-​phobe. Seriously, frizz is not my friend. Dorothy is phenomenal, Marta is great, and everyone is so nice and friendly. My husband even went there and loved the experience, and said that it cost him the same as the barber, but they did a better job. Nuff said. Go there with your man and have a hair-​gasmic experience!
