Salon X

I went to Salon X yesterday to do a blow dry and a wash. I have a coffee shop down the street and wanted to support the neighborhood, plus I really needed to feel better about myself. The space is beautiful, the owner was super pleasant and the girl that did my hair… I forgot her name, (she just got married) she was really sweet, attentive and fast. I have a long hair as well as curly and some people can take or ever to do a blow dry. It was relatively quick.
I will definitely go back.

I do not really feel comfortable entering this place. They really look at what you wear and judge you. Unfortunately, I’m the kind of person that prefers to wear very casual dress when I go to a salon. After all, I’m getting service there, not trying to impress anyone. As a result, I don’t think I was very welcomed there. A rich look may help to bring a smile on their face.

Diamond has been doing my hair for years. He’s the best all around. Always the best color, cuts and blow outs! I’ll never go anywhere else.

Love coming here! I see Mari, who understands exactly what I’m looking for and always walk out feeling great. She’s the best colorist I’ve had and cuts my hair in a way that it keeps looking amazing as it grows out. I’m always excited for my next visit!

I went to salon x for a trim as I was feeling lazy and didn’t have the time to walk to balance’s new location. While my trim was fine, the employees need to work on their enthusiasm and overall attitude toward customers. When I walked in, I immediately felt like I was being glared at by the employees in the back. No one was busy so you’d think they’d be happy to have a paying customer. The woman at the counter was lovely and kind (and obviously a manager or owner). There was a man in the back who never once smiled and played on his phone visibly like he could have cared less to be there. My hair washer was fine — didn’t say much and seemed bored. My stylist (Trish) didn’t really speak to me, pulled my hair terribly with the brush while drying, and, again, gave off an attitude like she could have cared less. I still overpaid and overtipped because I was feeling like perhaps me tipping would put a smile or something on their faces, but no. The hair washer and stylist said thanks like it was a second thought and shoved the money in their pockets. Overall I felt like I was a loser and not rich-​looking enough to matter.

Nazo is amazing! He has a great aesthetic sensibility and just knows what he’s doing. And he has tons of experience working with my hair type (south Asian, Indian, middle eastern etc). I will follow him wherever he goes!

I was limited on time but the stylist worked efficiently while maintaining a high level of service. I’m glad I found this neighborhood gem.

Nazo is the best
Cut, color, highlight, glaze and keratin treatment all of this for amazing price ! He do the best job ever, smart, educated about hair, knew what he doing and fast. Always will be back to him

I used to get my hair cut in the city twice a year and never really felt like my hair could be anything better. Now, I go at least 1 every two months because Nazo is just simply the best. It’s hard to write this review because he is definitely a hidden gem but he is just the best. As my hair grows out, it actually gets better, more defined. I get compliments from my friends all the time and they ask me if I just got a haircut. The Salon itself is beautiful and clean. The staff is very friendly and makes your experience very special. The standard cut includes shampoo, cut, and blow dry. Compared to a salon like it’s caliber in New York, you would probably pay around $ 125-​$ 150 but at SalonX, it’s only $ 75. I think for Jersey city it sounds expensive but that’s just because the other spots in the area are no frills. You get a nice little head massage with your shampoo and it’s just the nicest treat. Not going anywhere while Nazo is there!
Also I was looking at the more negative reviews and would say they aren’t very relevant anymore since I don’t even think the people work there anymore.

I normally NEVER write reviews, but after reading a few of the bad experiences, I decided to post. Ashley has been doing my highlights and cuts for about 4 years. She is very talented and always delivers! I get compliments on my hair all the time. As for pricing, I used to get my highlights and cuts at Frederick Fekkai in NYC, so comparitively speaking, Salon X is reasonable. The quality of Ashley’s work is the same and sometimes better than I used to get at FF. The staff is great. Lori has done my makeup and both my daughters have gotten highlights/​cuts when they’re in town. My husband gets his haircut there as well. All in all, if you live in JC, this is a great salon.

Salon X Is the best hair salon in JC. The staff is very nice, friendly and professional.
I just had the Global Keratine treatment and and it worked fab on me. My hair is thick and coarse and it definitly gave it a smoother and lighter feel. Ashley is great, she is passionate, love what she is doing and care. When I see people like her, I have no problem trusting them and let them do what they know best, and the result is amazing.
Great place, So happy I have found you.

Just moved to Jersey City and Salon X is in my neighborhood. They were able to take me for a same day appointment for a cut and color. Arrived a little early and got to see Theresa finish up her client. She looked great. After a short color consultation an assistant came over with a cape. While I was cooking, Theresa cut and blew another client and agin she looked good. Finally, my cut and blow dry was perfect. I will be going back.

I came here for my wedding hair and makeup. I enjoyed the services they provided for me. It is a bit expensive, but I felt like I was in good hands on my special day.

It makes me sad that this place doesn’t have better reviews, as I’ve had a great experience so far. I’ve seen ChaCha 3 times, and she’s done a nice job. I just get a straight across trim each time, (kind of hard to mess up), so not sure how they are with complex styles or highlights. They offer me a glass of wine every time, a nice plus! Salon X is clean, spacious, and upscale.

After moving to JC a friend of mine recommended this salon… Stephanie did my highlights and cut — amazing job — she’s super nice and everyone that works there is very friendly! I think it is a bit pricey for NJ but I will pay for quality work.
They are also very dog (and kid) friendly here!

Dear Salon X, I no longer live in Williamsburg and, therefore, did not want an asymmetrical haircut. Thanks.
I have long straight hair. I wanted a trim and some layers put in — pretty basic, nothing fancy. I ended up with blunt, thick, short layers on one side of my head and almost no layers on the other. I hadn’t changed where my hair was parted for the cut. When I called later that day, they argued about my wanting to see another stylist to fix my hair. They wanted me to see the same woman to fix it. Not a chance I was letting her touch my head! The man who fixed my hair did the best he could, but said, «It’s going to need to grow out for a few months before we can really fix it.» I’m an actress and my headshots are next week. I’m going to have screwed up hair on all of my promotional material. Awesome.
The only reason this salon get even 1 star is that they are friendly and welcoming upon your arrival.

Super friendly, professional, and talented staff! I got an updo for a black tie event and it came out great! The salon is so close to my apartment which is awesome and their space is so clean and beautiful. I had a delicious cup of coffee while I had my hair done too, great customer service :)

I had a great experience there with Stephanie. I have tight curly hair, and I finally decided to take the plunge with a keratin treatment. Stephanie understood that I wanted to keep my curl and that I was nervous about a chemical treatment (no one at the salon pushed me towards full-​on straightening, like so many places do) — she helped make the whole thing very comfortable.
So here’s why I’m putting a review on Unilocal — even aside from the keratin treatment, my new haircut is fabulous! I’ve been going to Devachan for years, and they gave me uniform layers that end up forming sort of a roundish mass of curls — Stephanie did some kind of uneven texturizing cut thing on some of the layers that has given me cute dangly curls and created more separation between curls so that the whole thing looks more sophisticated and styled. I love it!
And the $ 100 keratin and $ 60 haircut still added up to not much more than I’d pay for just a cut at Devachan.
Overall a very professional and friendly salon!

If you’re looking for a city experience but across the river, you won’t get that at Salon X. Don’t let the nice/​modern space fool you. This is still Jersey. No breakroom so staff eat on the same chair you get shampoo’d. I really don’t want to see people munch on cheese fries and then cut hair. The staff is also loud and I’m certain they have ADD. They talk to eachother across the salon floor, chew gum in your face while they’re cutting (the male stylist), and more importantly it just doesn’t feel like this line of work is their passion. I doubt they keep up with their continuing education. Tabitha wouldn’t be mortified, but you also won’t be impressed.

My husband and I both go here — he sees Cha Cha and I see Grace. Cha Cha does a great job on his short cut — he’s never looked so hot except for maybe our wedding day (sorry, gag me I know). Grace is a great colorist and patient with my attempt to grow my hair to shoulder length — no nasty surprises, only gentle long layers.
The place as a whole is really friendly — the staff seems like they’re part of one big family. The prices are not cheap, but it IS a fancy salon and I do feel like I’m getting a deal when comparing it with top NYC salons. Plus they always seem to have goodies at the front desk, which somehow helps with the letting go of precious dollars in hard times.
