The Salon For U

Worst nail salon experience ever. The staff was very nice, however they advertised that they had the power gel (nextgen/​sns powder treatment) and I made an appointment for the powder yet, when I went they no longer had it in stock. They lied about having it en route to keep me there and they gave me a combination of powder AND gel. The point was to avoid the UV rays yet I still ended up getting the UV light. In addition, the manager was not truthful about the powder treatment. Also, when I was getting a pedicure they did not have hot water.

Went to this place for a haircut after seeing all the positive reviews here. Not quite sure why people are giving this place a 5 star rating. If I had to guess, they are fake?
Here is my experience.
Pros:
Walk in without an appointment
Cons:
1. The lady has zero regard for my ear or my head. Jerked my head around so much. Combed my hair so hard downward that she hits my ear every time she combs. As I am typing this, my ears are still red and perhaps they are a bit swollen. I wish someone would comb her ears as hard as she did to me.
2. After finish cutting my hair, she flipped the cover off in such a manner that all the hair that was on the cover are now on my pants and shoes. I had no problem wiping them off my pants, but those in the shoes are unbearable. I had to take my socks and shoes off when I was driving home.
3. Out of nowhere, she told she was finish and walked away. My hair was still WET!!! The portion of the hair that she cut was still sitting on top of my hair. She didn’t even use like a brush to wipe them off. There were so many little cut hairs on my hair that when I stood up, the hair fell inside my shirts and all over. She couldn’t take like 3 minutes to blow dry my hair so I wouldn’t make a mess out of myself.
4. As if the pain I went through wasn’t enough, my haircut came out horrible!!! Uneven cuts were all over. I know for 15 dollars, I should not expect much, but this is outrageous. I was in and out under 10 minutes. The actually cut took about 5 minutes.
Now I look so bad that I would need to get my hair adjusted at another place!!! I am not even comfortable going to with this cut.
Bottom Line:
I would highly suggest to avoid this place at all cost! Although the 15 dollar hair cut sounds cheap, you are actually paying a premium. A rushed hair cut (5 minutes) for 15 bucks is roughly… 180 bucks per hour.
Not quite sure if she is having a bad day or not, but this experience is not what I had in mind when I walked in. Where is the half star rating when I need one.

Only the 2^nd salon I’ve tried in Jersey but it’s hard to find a place that will cut my (Asian) coarse hair well. I’ve tried various cuts from short to medium (male cuts) and this place does a great job. I usually have Joyce cut my hair but Suzie and Kevin also do a good job.
Kevin provides good conversation in English and Joyce provides good conversation in Chinese.
Wash (with shampoo) and cut for males is $ 15. Affordable and usually short wait time for walk-​in, though I’d stick with appointments.
I recommend this place and am going in for another cut this week!

Came here last Saturday after I was recommended to this place by a girlfriend who basically has been to every salon in East Hanover. I wanted something inexpensive, but professional so she told me to go here since I was already in the area. Anyway. Came in without an appointment and my stylist got to working like Edward Scissorhands. I was pretty pleased, and it only took 20 minutes. I usually hate it when stylists take an hour to make your hair look basically the same as it did 30 minutes in so that is a bonus. If you’re looking to get a trim at a decent rate, I’d highly recommend coming here.

Haircut $ 15 with shampoo and scissor cut. Good job done. No wait even though it was Saturday afternoon. ATM on premises.

Great Service and Great Hair Cut. I have been going to Lorena for years and I am always pleased with the cut, and the price is great. Always friendly and actively listens to my needs.
I also tried a pedicure here for the first time and Ruth was incredible. I am a massage therapist and am always disappointed with the quality of the foot massage. Ruth impressed me so much with the massage as she took her time and really let me relax. Best foot massage I ever received!
I am definitely coming back for a haircut AND pedicure from now on

I felt like I should update my review since my favorite stylist has since left The Salon For U. I haven’t actually been back, because now that I get my hair cut somewhere else, I have no reason to return.
I’ve gotten my nails done a few times here, but for whatever reason, my polish doesn’t last as long (chipping by the end of the week). And I’ve had my hair cut by a couple of different people here … it’s alright, but not «perfect.» My split ends are more noticeable after a couple of weeks, and my hair was shorter than I wanted more than once. But, they treat you well. I think they cater more to shorter hairstyles, so if that’s what you’re going for, this is The Salon For U.
(See what I did there?)

I used to come here to get my hair cut every time I came home from break: Hair cuts are cheap, the service is pretty fast, and it’s close to home. But after my last trip, I’m not sure I’ll ever come back.
I’m used to going to salons where the hairdressers speak a foreign language, so that part doesn’t bother me (I believe most people that work at Salon 4 U are Vietnamese). What really bothered me was that the hairdresser stopped THREE times throughout my hair cut to pick up her phone. She would literally stop in the middle of cutting and walk away to talk on her phone. She was also quite liberal with her spray bottle, often squirting me in the eye without any warning, and she was aggressive with combing my hair. I don’t expect to be pampered when I get my hair cut, but this place really missed the mark on the basics of decent service!

They used be so affordable when they had these discounts and I would drive all the way from denville but now no more. The prices are very comparable to other salons in my time so it is is really not worth it anymore,

I have been going to this salon for quite some time and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish haircut. I mean, I’m going out of my way to write a review for the place. It’s seriously great. Very affordable and the staff and hairdressers are all very friendly and welcoming. I always have either Susie or Karen cut my hair and they have never done me wrong! Great hairdressers for a great price! Who could disagree with great service?!

Horrible service. I went in with a picture in hand to the hairdresser. All I wanted was the tips colored. She never gave me a price quote. Then I noticed she was bleaching my entire head.
I asked her what she was doing. Before I knew it she had done a double process color, made me wash my own hair in the sink, and my hair is now fried.
Then she hits me with a $ 200 bill. I am now trying to reach the owner to get a refund. When after two days of calling I finally got the owner. She offered a deep conditioner and refund.
When I called to say I was on my way she refused a refund and said no. Now I cant get a hold of any management. Very unprofessional.
I will advise to look else-​wear.

My husband and I went here for haircuts based on the reviews. Based on my experience in the city I thought this Asian salon would be a simple place with experienced hair stylists who use precision when cutting people’s hair. Unfortunately this salon was the opposite. The stylist was rushed, didn’t check to see whether the hair was evenly cut, cut it much shorter than either me or my husband wanted, and didn’t even show me the cut while it was wet. Overall bad experience although it’s very affordable.

I am so confused about how this place got four great reviews! I can’t believe someone thinks this place is chic! It is your standard no-​frills salon, which is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been going to this place for a year, simply because it is so convenient to where I live. However, it is totally unhygenic and poorly managed.
Hygiene:
1. They do a sloppy job of cleaning out the pedicure tubs. I’ve seen them clean them out after customers before me and it is basically just a water spray down with the hose. I’ve been to other salons where they sanitize the tubs by wiping them down, but don’t expect that kind of cleanliness here.
2. I used to get waxed here because it was very reasonably priced but now I know why! They double-​dip (dipping the same stick that has touched skin into the wax pot) and they don’t even hide this fact! I got a Brazilian and I got a pedi right afterwards. I was sitting in the pedi chair across from the waxing room when I saw another customer walking into the wax room and get her eyebrows and lip waxed WITH THE SAME WAX that I just got a Brazilian with! I was mortified! I wanted to tell the woman but the salon was crowded and I didn’t want to cause a scene. Instead, I told the lady who waxed me that she should not have done that and she just blew me off like it wasn’t a big deal. Seriously, this was the grossest thing that I have ever seen and I have never been back to this place since this incident. If you’re the type of person that sits on the toilet in port-​a-​potties, you probably wouldn’t mind this completely unhygienic salon.
Management:
Totally unprofessional. I understand you want to take walk-​ins, but customers who have an appointment should be seen at least relatively close to their appointment time. I used to come here regularly for my mani/​pedi just because it was so convenient. At least five times I have waited more than twenty minutes even though I had an appointment. One time I even waited 45 minutes! I had nothing planned so I just sat around and read a magazine, but that is so ridiculous! If you don’t have any open slots in your schedule, don’t take appointments. If you are completely booked with appointments, don’t take walk-​ins. Doesn’t this seem like common sense? Apparently it is rocket science for this management to understand this concept.
I can’t comment on their hair stylists since I have never gotten my hair cut here. However, if you are looking for a basic nail salon within this price range, there are so many better places in the neighborhood. I now go to another salon in East Hanover that is much better and they do a great job. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place!

I am from out of town and had a day with nothing to do. I needed a cut and decided to look for a place open on Sunday. Based on other Unilocal reviews I thought I would check out The Salon For U. Diana was the stylist who took care of me today. She did a full color, full highlights, and a awesome cut. While I was there I saw other stylists at work and the did some really cute cuts as well. Because Diana was taking such good care of me I got a mani and pedi too. Thanks. I hope I am able to come back again.

Really super cut. Just Be prepared not to be pampered. Price for wash cut blowdry $ 22. Appointments not necessary. I walked in by chance looking for something better than a super cuts cut wash blowdry which usually costs $ 40 with my longer than shoulder length hair.

Great salon. Super affordable. Got a wash, cut, blow, and curl for $ 35… I’ll be back

Chic salon, exceptional service, and very skilled and careful hair stylists… those are the three ways I would sum up my experience at Salon for U.
My virgin Asian hair was in need of some de-​virginizing highlights – this would mean that I have to go to a salon I could trust to deliver a good job on my stresses. A friend of mine recommended Salon for U, a place that she’s been getting her hair done at for years. It was a 30 minute drive from where I was, but looking at her stylish hair, I said OK and went.
Upon entering, I was greeted warmly and was offered coffee or tea. Suzie, my hair stylist, asked me what I wanted and I told her exactly – «full foil thin-​stranded highlights, with a shade that’s a lighter than my hair but still looks natural». Suzie then, worked her magic and delivered. She delivered a full set of highlights that was stunningly what I wanted. I’ve received multiple compliments so far, which is a testament to how well she did. (Thanks Suzie!)
The rest of the staff were super friendly, the service was welcoming from hello to good-​bye and the prices were very very reasonable. I got a manicure there too and it rocks. I will definitely come back!
BTW, the same aforementioned friend recently got a Brazilian Blowout done for her hair and it looks beautiful. Her hair became so sleek and shiny!
