I called in last minute to schedule an appointment with Cynthia for the first time ever, and even though she was busy she was so welcoming. I was really scared of dying my hair and having it cut by a random person I have never gone to, but I did and I certainly don’t regret it. I usually hate short hair but I am loving the cut she gave me. It looks so much healthier and shiny. I would definitely recommend her. She was awesome.

I had been trying to get a trim for some time, but did not want to pay New York or Hoboken prices. I read the reviews on Unilocal and everyone seemed to recommend Cynthia so I went ahead and booked an appointment with her. Needless to say, she did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted very warmly by the staff and was offered something to drink right away while I waited. I didn’t have to wait long before it was my turn, which was great because I hate to wait! Also I want to point out that the salon is very clean and neat. Back to Cynthia, she was very warm, helpful, and friendly. She was easy to talk to, which was much appreciated because I hate those awkward silent lulls that occur when you’re getting your hair done. She gave me a lot of good tips and did a great job on my hair, I got tons of compliments the next day!. I don’t usually frequent hair salons on Bergenline Avenue, but I will definitely go back to see Cynthia!

I want to thank Cynthia for an awesome job! She is very professional and let’s you know what products she is using on your hair. She did a great job with cutting it (not too short) and coloring! I will definitely be returning every 3 weeks to see her! If you want a good job done, ask for her ;)

I had an interview and instead of wasting time and heading into the city for a hair cut/​blow out and manicure I thought I would take a chance on a new place. The 4 stars are for the haircut/​blow out, I am an easy customer and Sabrina made it easy on me too, she didn’t speak much english but Cynthia the other stylist did and who cares as long as it gets done. The prices were AWESOME! I paid the same for both service as I would have paid for JUST a blow out.
As for the manicure, I simply won’t be going back unless I am desperate. It wasn’t expensive but very sloppy and I am wondering if the older woman should have kept her glasses on instead of taking them off while she did them.

Love this hair salon… Extremely clean and the staff are very talented and professional. It’s one of the best salons I’ve been to and I loved the transformation Cynthia gave me.

I found this place on Unilocal and tried it out. I am new to the area and was desperate for a good hair cut. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and fun Cynthia is! I am so glad she speaks English, which is hard area this area, no offense intended whatsoever. She really listed to what I wanted and I got a great and affordable cut! Will he back for sure.

Cynthia is great with hair! I was hesitant to try the salon after reading Unilocal reviews but decided to try it out with my groupon. Cynthia dealt with me and she is very good. Very professional and excellent hair stylist.

I’ve found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. I was greeted by Cynthia the hair stylist who made me feel comfortable. I gave her carte Blanche and was very happy with the results. I’ve been her loyal customer ever since. As for the place itself… I have no comments good or bad as no one else seems to speak English. 5 stars to Cynthia.

It’s taken me a while to write this but here goes.
I regret to say that my hair experience fell way short of what my expectations were. I had to go back for a second time to thoroughly have the color stripped and corrected. The owner still charged me $ 20 for the conditioning treatment. Cynthia is a sweetheart — she doesn’t belong in a place where the owner sits on her ass all day, does her nails and only speaks Spanish (by choice — I know she speaks English too).

7÷10÷13. I would not recommend or return to the establishment. I came in for a facial of which I was told would be an hour. The lady quickly applied different liquids, used several machines, and completed uncomfortable/​painful blackhead extractions. The time actually spent with me was minimal.
I spent most of the time alone in a comfortable room with calm music. The lady went in and out often, more out of room than in, and did not massage my face, neck, or shoulders.
I paid full price of $ 90+ but received a 25% discount because I was a new customer and its a Wednesday. I paid $ 74+ and did not leave a tip.
The lady was friendly but, unlike other facials in other establishments, I did not leave there relaxed. I left feeling like I overpaid, had ugly red bumps on my face, and wishing I have gone for a facial or massage elsewhere.
So sad.
What a waste!

I also purchased a «spa day» groupon for this establishement. The place itself is cute and seems clean which is contributing to the 2 stars. I don’t think you can call what I was given a «massage»; I think a hairdresser basically rubbed oil on me and put some stones in my hands. I was very uncomfortable, was told to get mostly undressed and given a small towel to cover up with. She also left the room a couple of times, once for almost 10 minutes. I go for massages often and this was the strangest (and least «professional») ever. I was so looking forward to a massage and was so very disappointed. The facial was fine, there were alot of machines used; what they did and how effective they were I have no idea (bells and whistles???). Manicure was good, pedicure??? I don’t think I ever had a pedicure where I did not get a leg massage with lotion. The lady who did the pedicure put her knuckle to the bottom of my foot for about 10 seconds and that was all. Actually, the hand «massage» was no great shakes either. Nobody was friendly to me, I was barely acknowledged. I didn’t even get a smile when I tipped 20% on the full price of the groupon!

I purchased the groupon for the massage, facial, & mani/​pedi for two. I had been there once before for a mani pedi and my experience was excellent. I had originally purchased the groupon with the intention of going with one coworker, who at the last minute was told she couldnt leave early. So another coworker ended up coming with me. When we arrived, I gave them my phone with the groupon voucher and went to the bathroom. When I returned my coworker told me the lady at the reception gave her a problem when she said she was a different person. The lady said that it was against their policy to allow this change. I didnt see what the big deal was, when they never had us fill out any forms so the only thing that changed was the persons name. It was my groupon afterall. The lady said she would allow it since we were already there. So we sat down and waited to get taken in. 15 mins after our appt time they took in my friend. I was left there waiting. About 5 mins later, the same lady came and told me she would take me in in 10 mins bc the room was being used to put on some eyelashes. I said ok (although i was getting bothered, not much I could do). Well… 40 minutes later, no one came out of the room and I was left there waiting for a total of one hour past my appt time. I am a frequent spa goer and never ever have i been left waiting for one hour. This is especially annoying when I had to change my entire work schedule to leave early so I could make it there on time. When they finally came out of the room, the person who was having the eyelashes put on was clearly friends with everyone there as most of the employees went up to her to talk. If they knew they only have two service rooms and an appt for a certain time, then why would they put someone in there before my appt time??? So after the room was cleared and set up, my friend came out from her massage and they put her in the that room for her facial. Me??? I was still sitting there waiting for my services to begin. Maybe if they were apologetic, I would not have been as bothered, but for them to leave me there without anyone telling me anything is just unheard of. So FINALLY, I get taken into the room that my friend was in for her first treatment. The masseuse was the only person who apologized to me for my wait. And I felt sorry for her bc she was the one who I let have it, even though I apologized since I knew it was not her fault. The massage was good, they used hot stones which was a nice plus. And the masseuse was thorough. After my massage i went straight into the other room for my facial. It was done by the same lady at the reception desk (who appears to be the manager or owner). She did not apologize at all for my wait time. The facial was good, the only thing I noted was usually most places massage your neck and shoulder and your arms, this facial did not include that. However, they did use a lot of different machines. After my facial I went into the main area, my friend was already done with her pedicure and was almost finished with her manicure. There was one other lady getting her manicure done. They only have one chair for pedicures and it was empty when I came out. You would think after all I waited, they would put me there right away… Nope. I had to wait yet again. When the other lady who was finishing up her manicure was done, they put her next to get the pedicure. Then the lady who was going to do my manicure, went and began to wash someone’s hair. So I had to wait another 15 – 20 minutes. Again, no apologies from anyone. Finally, when she was done washing the girl’s hair, I was told to sit down for my manicure. The manicure was fine, nothing out of this world. After I completed that, it was finally my turn for my pedicure. A different girl did my pedicure, she was a young girl (and actually the same girl who did my mani/​pedi the first time i was there). She did a very good job on my pedicure. she is very thorough and gives a great foot massage. I was very content with her service. So all in all, the services themselves were good. The wait time and the lack of customer service is what makes me give this place 3 stars. Any other place gives you at minimum a discount off your next service (that was when an esthetician knocked over the tray while i was in the room getting my facial). But this place did not acknowledge or offer me anything for my wait. And for that, I do not think I would ever go back.
