Shag 86 Salon

This is my go to place I have been going there since they opened they are extremely professional and courteous I would never go anywhere else.

Excellent service. Appointment times are honored to the minute. Tracy is my go to for a great blowout and doesn’t even charge me extra to curl my hair for an event (though I make sure I show my appreciation in the form of an extra tip). The place is open with multiple levels so you don’t feel claustrophobic or like you are inhailing a ton of chemicals which is a huge plus for me too! Highly recommend this place (plus there is a large lot in the back for parking).

Always the nervous wreck before I get a new hair cut, I entered Shag 86 salon not really knowing what to expect since it was my first time there. I had made the appointment two days prior and I was told I would be getting my haircut by Alanna. I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment and Alanna was already by the front desk waiting for me. We walked over to an empty chair to discuss what my ideas were and then it was off to a relaxing hair wash. After the wash, we walked upstairs to Alanna’s chair, away from all the downstairs chaos of hair cutting and coloring, and discussed my cut a bit more. After talking with Alanna about my concerns, and feeling like we were on the same page with my cut, I relaxed a bit and let her work her magic. From start to finish I could tell she was a natural and definitely in the right profession. I was so happy with my hair cut, I will definitely recommend her to anyone that asks if I know a good stylist. Even today as I had to wash, dry, and style my own hair, I was sure I had made the right choice in entrusting Alanna with my crazy hair! Thank you!

After months of holding out on getting a trim due to the traumatic hair tragedy I had in September (R.I.P to my layers) I decided to give Shag86 a try… Alanna B. did an AMAZING job on my hair & I can honestly say it was hands down best haircut I have ever gotten! I highly recommend Shag86, their crew knows what they are doing & does their job (s) EXTREMELY well!

Got my hair cut with Lily yesterday. First time in the salon as I recently relocated to NJ. Was scared to death to try a new hairstylist as I have very curly hair and have been getting cut by the same person for 15 years. She was amazing!!! Love my hair and the salon was very clean. Everyone who works there was so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Lily for a Deva cut. She’s my new stylist.

From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with a smile. Being that I was a new client they handed me a little ‘Getting to know me ’ survey which I thought was cute. When it was time for me to get my hair done I was greeted by my hairstylist, Nicole F, who right away made me feel comfortable. I’m very attached to my hair and have never gotten it done in a salon before so I was extremely nervous. But after talking to Nicole and told her what I wanted I felt at ease. She walked me through everything she was going to do before she did it. I really enjoyed how comfortable Nicole made me feel and how FABULOUS my hair looked !! My blowout and curls were so perfect and the color was exactly what I wanted!!! I left there feeling like a million bucks ! I can’t see myself going anywhere else ever again ! If you’re thinking about going here you definitely should and ask for Nicole F!!!

You get what you pay for.
Yea, it’s expensive, but the stylists are professional, fun to talk to and the atmosphere is very chic.
I’ve seen 3 different stylists and each time they were amazing. Whenever I want to spoil myself a bit when it’s time for a cut I go here.
They also have nice touches like tea/​coffee, a hair profile you fill out and they keep on file plus free workshops.

I like to keep my hair tight on the sides, and I prefer never «looking like I need a haircut,» which requires almost a weekly visit to a salon. Needless to say, if I’m to patronize an establishment that frequently, it has to be a place that yields the best result, and where I feel the most comfortable. Gerald and the staff at Shag86, ALWAYS get it right, and NEVER disappoint! I have always, and will continue to, recommend friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances to Shag86!!!

I had a deva cut with Lily yesterday and was utterly impressed. She started with a dry cut so she could see the shape of my waves. She then washed and conditioned my hair and showed me how to apply mouse and style my curly hair. It was my first curly cut and Lily really made it a memorable experience. I am looking forward to seeing her for my next cut. She is also incredibly sweet and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat in her chair.
I highly recommend her for curly-​haired sisters.

Disappointed. Elena was sweet but I could tell she was not experienced with cutting and styling short hair. She may be better suited for longer hair like her own. For a $ 50 cut I expected better service and quality. Also, when I went to pay I was not offered the «Tuesday 25% off for new clients» as advertised on Unilocal.There was some discussion, and then the cashier said she forgot about that special and that she would give me 20% but not the advertised 25% off. Not a good business practice.

Was seen about 40 minutes late and received an okay blowout that barely last the night. Not sure I’ll be returning.

What a great experience!!! My mother came to visit from Las Vegas and hadn’t had her hair done. I got her an appointment with Nicole. During the initial consultation, she felt such a great connection with the stylist Nicole and felt that she understood her hair and what she wanted.
I left her and came back later. She told me she was so comfortable in the salon. The staff was so professional and she felt like a celebrity!!,
I came back and Nicole was finishing up. I was shocked! My mother looked 20 years younger than when she walked in. The color was incredible. The highlights gave it so much depth and character. The cut was fantastic. She has very thick hair and several cowlicks and Nicole knew just what to do.
She is talking about coming in more often now… not to visit family, but to have her hair done by Nicole!!! Thank you for making my mom so happy and doing such a great job on her hair! We will definitely be back!

I just went to this great modern clean upscale salon where they «check you in» when you arrive. Take your coat, escort you to a shampoo station and then to a chair where Elisha worked her magic. I told her I wanted a blow out with volume and that’s what she delivered. The owner Gerald is engaging with the clients making sure everyone is happy. Elisha did a great job. Good job girl. Keep up the good work.

This place has changed the way I’ve been getting my hair done for the past 6 years. My stylist is Rosanna, who does an amazing job! I first came to her with bleached blonde hair which was dry and over processed, and she turned my hair into blonde with highlights and lowlights! The second time I went back, we decided to go a little darker with my lowlights and I love that even more. I couldn’t believe that Rosanna took one look at me and knew what she wanted to do with my hair!
The place is also very friendly, professional, and big. There’s also an upstairs and a downstairs area. Love it!

A+ Excellent for Elisha. One word to describe her is AMAZING. i have been a client for a few years and am amazed every time I am there, I feel so comfortable. Elisha is engaging from the moment I get there until I leave. She listens to what I want and will always give me her input. She is a great stylist. I have sent her a few of my friends and they have the same experience. The great thing about Elisha, is that even if she is booked, she will squeeze me in. The staff is very helpful and owner Gerard is always engaging the clients as well. Thank you Shag for the greatest experience. PS: Always feeling beautiful when leaving there.
Elisha, thank you… You are truly AMAZING…

I love this salon! Lilly V is THE curly hair guru and she is able to manage my unruly wild curls. Whether I want a a voluminous blowout or a simple trim she knows exactly what my hair needs. Over the past few years she’s taken my hair from damaged and dry to full and healthy. I will not go to another stylist. Look no further if you’re a curly girl looking for some help in managing your mane !!

I bought a blowdry deal for 6 blowouts. I had Alana, I could tell she was new but she was so sweet and tried her best. The blowout wasn’t bad. I liked it. Overall I would go back. (Well I kind if how too. I have 5 blowouts left haha)

I was brought here as part of a scavenger hunt birthday surprise, and boy am i glad! Olivia did my hair, she was very sweet and engaging the entire time, and had me out in a very quick 45 minutes. My hair looked great and I didn’t have the post-​salon drag from sitting around too long. Thanks again!
Olivia, if you read this… the scavenger hunt ended in me getting changed (you were right) there were clothes and jewelry waiting for me at home, and then I met her at liberty house for a romantic dinner.

I love this place! Mallory is my stylist and is really awesome and Down to earth. Rosana blew out my hair the other day and was awesome. They are very nice, professional, clean and reasonable. A wonderful place!

I moved to NJ recently and I was in total shock to see how many hair salons there are around here! I was looking for a cut, color, and eyebrow wax. A friend of mine recommended this salon. I checked out their website and made an appointment. My stylist was Nicole K. and not only was she nice she did a fantastic job.
I never know what kind of cut or style is right for me and she knew exactly what to do and didn’t take too much off like I asked. When it came to color I said I wanted to go back to my natural color (I previously had medium brown hair with blonde highlights). She put a glaze over the highlights and then colored my hair. I was a little nervous because I’m used to picking out a color that I want, she just went and mixed up the color right away. But it worked out. After she dried my hair and brushed it out it looked amazing, I am very satisfied with how everything turned out.
Maggie did my eyebrows. I again was nervous because she just tarted plucking and waxing away without asking what I preferred. By the time she was done I wasn’t sure I had any eyebrows left ha ha. But they look great. I guess if I had any questions I should’ve spoke up. She was very nice as well. Everything came to $ 135 not including the tip. Eyebrow waxing is $ 20 and I think that’s a tad pricey.
My only complaint is there was a bit of a wait to start ‘y appointment and I had to wait or my eyebrows. It is a bit pricier here but I think it’s totally worth it. Going to their website really helped.
