Blow-Out Hair Bar & Beauty Lounge

I always leave this place feeling good!!! Sarah Elise is awesome and truly enjoys what she does. I LOVE LOVE my hair Sarah!!! I got a shorter cut today — love it — and the color is perfect. And thanks for the inspiration!!!

I really enjoyed my hair trim and blow out here.
I really needed a trim because my hair was looking really «blah», but I had no idea where to go being new to the area and all. I called on a Saturday and they were able to squeeze me in on a Sunday afternoon.
I sat down with Sara and she asked me about my hair and concerns. She was very helpful and understanding, and even though there was a minor discrepancy regarding my trim (I guess the person I talked to on the phone just put me down for a blowout), she told me she’d still be able to fit it in.
My hair was thoroughly washed and she did a great blow out for my hair. I have some hair breakage and she as trying to figure out where it may have originated. For the trim, she made sure to cut my hair in a way that hid my hair breakage and was still flattering.
The salon was very clean and the receptionist was very polite. She walked around and offered guests drinks as they were getting their hair styled. Also, shout out to the musical selection. Anyone that plays «Anniversary» by Tony! Toni! Toné! gets my vote.
I told them that I’d probably be going into a protective style for the summer, but I’m glad to know there’s a place that is close by that’ll take care of my hair.

Blow out is the best!!! I booked them for my wedding in January and they did a fantastic job! Bridget did my hair and it was breathtaking— I got so many compliments and through out the hectic day it didn’t move! Simple perfection the entire time. Because I had 8 girls in my wedding party plus 3 relatives (total of 13 of us) they were able to accommodate by opening early so that everyone could get done in time. They were professional, fun, and kept the mimosas flowing!!! Best of all they are affordable! I highly suggest low but for any occasion.

I love coming here! Angel is absolutley my favorite! I always get lots of compliments whenever he does my hair. I started just getting blowouts from him and he did such an amazing job, that now he does all my services. He does my highlights and haircut so carefully and precisely. I love him so much that I am flying him to do my hair for my wedding in Puerto Rico! I highly recommend him :)

One of the best blow outs I have had and the everyone was incredibly nice– must go!
I have been there a few times over the past year and when I’m lazy i always go

I came in early on a Sunday morning. I had called Saturday and was able to make an appointment for the next day at 11. I have curly, unruly hair and was headed to a wedding Sunday afternoon and had an international flight to go abroad to Belgium on Monday evening… so I asked her to blow out my hair in a way that was loose, big curls for the wedding and would fall nicely over the flight.
Service was great. The receptionist was taking care of some personal business when I arrived, but she was apologetic about it. I was washed and settled in with my stylist. I asked for a coffee, but they also offered me a mimosa. I wish I had caught the name of my stylist, but she didn’t introduce herself… but WOW.
Here is where the five stars REALLY comes in… due to the ISIS attacks in Brussels, I wore my blowout for five straight days — the wedding, an international flight, a terrorist attack, and three days of active traveling to get to our flight home. From Sunday morning to Thursday night and across two continents and 4 countries, it held beautifully.
BEAUTIFULLY.
That’s right. A 5 day long blowout. This will be my go-​to. I’ll have to ask next time I go to see her again, I hope it’s in their system.

As this was my second time at blow-​out bar, I decided to write a review. I made it there at 9:45 for a 10 am appointment and as I tried to open the locked door, one employee awkwardly told me «we open at 10» and then went back inside of her parked car for 10 minutes. Weird interaction and I felt as if she left me high and dry outside the locked door. Odd that it is not staffed until the last second in the morning, but I was let in around 9:55. Only deducting a star because of that opening situation. My experience with Leya deserves 5 stars! She was amazing, so sweet & authentic and gave me a killer blowout. I went for the 30 minute express blowout (wash your hair at home and come in) and it was completed in 35. I have zero problems with going 5 minutes over because I know I have very thick and curly hair, so the fact that Leya was able to do it in less than an hour was a miracle in itself! The Blowout Bar has a nice décor and convenient location. I will definitely be going back for the express service.

Ive gone to the same stylist for almost a decade so was very skeptical about taking this step and transitioning from relaxers to natural then to keratin straightening. Being accustomed to dominican blowouts/​styling/​relaxing it was a process for me. I was referred to Angel by a friend after seeing her hair — she was totally natural when she went to him for the treatment and her hair was LAID! and growing like a weed — and I still waited almost a year before finally making an appointment to see him (that’s how skeptical) lol; my one regret is waiting so long. Angel was friendly, all smiles and welcoming immediately despite me being 15 minutes late for our first appointment — it was my first public transit commute from Manhattan to Jersey City, and while it is very close to the path (literally 2 blocks) i walked in the wrong direction.
We got started straight away where he first sat me down, assessed my hair texture, asked me my regimen and why i wanted keratin; he then washed my hair and applied the treatment asking me if i wanted a mask as some people find the treatment smell strong (i didnt, but my eyes did water toward the end a bit when i was in the dryer) he was incredibly detailed, and anticipatory throughout the process, he was un-​rushed and talked me through everything he was doing which was a relief not having to ask a question every two minutes. what i love most is during your allotted time with him, you are his sole client, you aren’t splitting time with other clients and he’s extremely understanding and knowledgeable about coarse-​textured black hair. After the Keratin treatment contingent on your hair/​growth rate you wont have to have it reapplied for a few months. My follow-​up appointments have been the ‘hair baths’ which consist of washing, conditioning (with an amazing short head massage) and flat-​ironing or curling.
The Salon Itself is very nice and looks narrow at first until you reach the back which is open space where there are stylist stations with lots of space in between them — which gives a real intimate feel without being isolated; the front is reserved for blowouts and washes; the staff is nice and they offer refreshments — mimosas, coffee, tea, juice and water are the options i believe. you have to call the salon directly to book Angel as hes not on the online appointment portal (well he is, but the system will tell you hes unavailable no matter which date you select)
in a nutshell its definitely worth it. I received my Keratin treatment on or the day before new years eve and my hair is not breaking, is incredibly soft and no longer dry and brittle.

Love this Blow Out Bar! & I would have to 100% agree that Sarah Elise is outstanding! I have been searching near and far for a stylist that listens and can style my rebellious naturally curly curls, and she does that and so much more! I came to her a while back to her due to her reviews on here and I’m super glad and grateful that I did! Im actually about to book an appointment this Friday and I came on here to look up the phone number and figured that I’d finally give her the review that she rightfully so deserves! A+

I decided to get my hair blown out for NYE, but I decided a little too late.
I called Blow-​Out Hair Bar & Beauty Lounge the day before NYE, and of course, they were booked. However, before hanging up, the receptionist asked if I’d like to be put on the waiting list in case someone canceled. I said sure, even though I knew in my mind it was improbable someone would cancel. BUT! An hour later I got a call from the salon; someone had canceled!
The salon was easy to find, bright, and clean. My stylist, Diana, introduced herself and took me to her chair where I told her I wanted the «Miami Heat» style from their website. I explained it was for that night, so Diana suggested making the curls a little tighter so the look would be perfect by the evening. I appreciated her expertise and willingness to adapt the style to what would look best on me.
My hair was washed, my scalp was massaged and I was offered a mimosa, coffee, tea or water when I returned to the chair.
The blow out took a little less than an hour and my hair turned out GREAT! I felt like a princess when I left. Diana gave me some tips on helping the blow out last for days, which, I must confess, I did not follow. But even so, the blow out lasted approximately 3 days without me doing anything.
I would definitely recommend this salon and I will be returning!

Great place to do your hair ;) Unlike most salons in JC, this one is spacious which makes your experience that much more enjoyable and comfortable. They also offer drinks when you are on site, they sometimes open until 9pm! AND they are open on Sundays!!. Their staff are friendly and very polite. It’s the small touches that makes a huuuge difference. I totally recommend it.

Was able to schedule a last minute blow out appointment with Brigette who was very sweet and able to accommodate for my requests. Her shampoo/​scalp massage was amazing! She styled my halo extensions (however they fell straight toward the evening) and expertly clipped them into the blow out style I requested. She works fast and timely.
Just make sure you bring CASH for tip.
I’d definitely come back if I find myself in Jersey City again.

My stylist Will definitely recommend ChaCha! Such a friendly stylist too! I Love the interior and aura of the place! They serve free mimosas and coffee as well!!!

I decided to book a blow out for a little confidence boost but left feeling worse due to inconsiderate comments from the stylist. While the blowout itself looks good, I was really disappointed that she asked if I was «ok» and when I said I was good, she went on to say I looked like I could punch someone and that at least I wouldn’t get wrinkles. I spent the rest of the appointment feeling self conscious about my face. This was completely unnecessary. I can’t control what my neutral expression looks like, nor should I have to sit there with a fake grin.

I’m so glad I gave it another try with Angel! He is amazing, so attentive and really listened to me and what I wanted. They have great mimosas too and very clean.

I have very short hair & most stylist when trying to blow-​out/​style my hair either make it look like a helmet, an artichoke, or a 90 yr old womens style… no offence to the 90yr olds rockin their style. just not for me quite yet. Anyway, these three looks are not ever the style I ask for when consulting with the stylist.
But last Friday I made an appointment and saw Sarah. She KILLED IT! Not only did she understand the look I wanted but I really didn’t have to explain much. She left no fly aways, I didn’t need to tweak my hair when I got home… She just got it.
Its now Thursday and with help from a shower cap and dry shampoo, my blow out is still in tack.
Only down side was reception was a bit cold and I don’t mean temperature. I got a quick «have a seat», was not asked if I’d like a drink. The receptionist left the desk and the only thing at the time the receptionist and a couple stylist we concerned about was lunch. I get it, ya’all gotta eat, but could I please be asked if I’d like some water. Maybe have my coat hung up. I wasn’t surprised by this behavior because not all but most salons the receptionist act this way.
All in all, I’ve made another appointment and look forward to seeing Sarah again.

I have long straight black Asian hair. The kind of hair that yes, I will humbly admit some women envy. The terrible state my hair was in was awful. It was dry, discolored and my hair cut looked like Edward Scissorhands did it. Epic fail from another salon… Anthony Roberts Salon in Verona
I checked out Blowout in JC and spoke to Sarah one of their stylists. She patiently asked me about my hair and discussed with me the different options I could do. We decided on an ombré with balyage with a more natural look up top (black to correct the old highlights) and I don’t like to get my hair done that often. The style she suggested really suits me and looks awesome!
I liked that she is up to date with the latest trends in hair color/​techniques. She was really sweet to talk to. I can tell she is passionate and knowledgable about what she does. Definitely ask for Sarah Elise. She saved my hair! See the pics I posted…
The salon itself was really nice and trendy. It’s very modern and everyone seemed really relaxed and laid back. They have flat screens for you to watch while getting your hair done and even offer an assortment of mimosas! Yes, please!
I felt pampered and confident after my visit here! Sarah is amazing! Run, don’t walk to Blowout and let them do their magic!

Treated myself to a blowout for my birthday celebration last weekend. I wanted something natural looking with a little «umph», if that makes any sense. I have short and thin hair so I of course need the volume, but didn’t want to look to glammed up for an afternoon/​brunch celebration (can’t be too extra!!). I scheduled an appointment with Bridget, who is super adorable. Great personality and picked up on what would work for me without having to explain myself too much because well. I’m not very particular with my hair in general, so I didn’t bring a photo or anything as a guideline. I generally trust the experts.
Staff was super sweet. Got offered water/​mimosas. Everyone was friendly and the owner of the shop came over to check in and make sure I was a happy customer. Love good customer service.
Loved the outcome and despite the pouring rain, it lasted into the early evening. Got so many compliments and was more than happy to share my newest JC gem. I’ve got a couple more events coming up and will definitely be coming back!

After receiving some goodies from Lee, the owner, I went to get a blow dry done with Angel. He is truly an angel when it comes to hair styling. He is super nice and gave me a great look, exactly what I wanted.
He understood how I wanted my hair to be and explained everything he was doing for my hair. He gave a nice massage while washing my hair. All in all, he made my day by making my hair look so pretty. Thanks Angel, I will be seeing you soon :)

My hair is very thick, copious, with a lot of body and some curl. For many stylists it is daunting and honestly not many can do an good job. Some can handle the cut so-​so but can’t deliver on the blow out (and I want a blow out if I’m getting my hair done). I keep my hair long so I only cut it every 4 – 6 months (if I’m being good about it) and truth be told I’m lazy about it in general. I need a really really good cut so I don’t have to fuss with it. I hate using too much heat etc., so I generally don’t, so its gotta be pretty awesome, seriously, because well because.
Enter Cha Cha.
She has Years and Years of experience and it shows.
I showed her a picture.
We discussed the general condition of my hair (healthy, sorta, it had been awhile and I already said I’m lazy).
She got to washing and cutting.
All the while I’m sipping wine, trying not to move my head to the music (seriously, it was club time but not too loud) and yapping away because everyone is super friendly an Cha Cha is an absolute doll.
That’s all well and good but what about my hair?
Unbelievable.
Pin straight when I left. Beautiful. Lush.
But everyone knows the test is when you style it at home.
I can honestly say I haven’t had a cut like this in many many many years.
Bonus: it was Valentine’s Day so I got a surprise discount.
The location is convenient. The décor is chic-​y club-​y fabulous. The staff was über friendly.
Finally, found my new salon & my stylist.
Thank you Cha Cha. See you in the Summer!
