Suite Beverly

Had my first experience there this weekend. WONDERFUL experience. Looking forward to appointment #2. Nice clean salon, nice stylists, nice customers! J’nae (probably spelling it wrong) did my coils and I have received tons of compliments.

A classy place, very nice & clean. My first time here and I am very satisfied with my hair. My dreads needed some TLC & I definitely received it here. I received a wash, hair dried, twisted, greased & styled. My wife got her hair died, styled and cut, she was also happy.
We live near by and we found this place because my daughter purchased something last month & told us about it. The girls who work here are very nice & made us feel at home. We were walk ins & received A1 service.
Definitely will get a bang for your buck, not over priced at all.

ugh, here goes… I was referred here by a friend who is also natural and was very excited to find a salon that tends to natural hair AND near by too! Usually I would have to schlep into NY to go to Devachan or any of those other places and wind up paying $ 100 or more just for a damn trim. So when my friend told me about this place, all I thought was «FINALLY!» Ok, I made my first appt which was for a cut and some highlights with a junior stylist. I arrive a few minutes before my appt time and the receptionist addresses me by my name and seems very personable. She says «you’re here for a trim, right?» I respond, «and highlights.» Looking confused, she tells me that the stylist doesn’t have time for highlights today. Huh? That’s what I booked, and this is the girl who booked my appt! I asked if someone else could do my hair… so a senior stylist, Danielle wound up trimming and highlighting my hair. Initially, I was going for copperish tones but when she lifted my hair it came out kinda cool– like an ombré. She said if I put a copper on top that it wouldn’t go back to blonde so maybe to rock the blonde a bit and I could always put the copper on top later. So that’s what I did. Mind you, I was going to leave with wet hair because they charge an extra $ 35 just for a twist out, which I can do myself ! But I was already there, and don’t spend money on my hair like, Ever. So I got all the works done which nearly came to $ 200. Yikes. They used Jane Carter to twist my hair and I literally sat under the dryer for nearly two hours because that stuff would NOT dry! Also, I got my hair cut into a tapered cut that day so I had A LOT less hair. I wound up unraveling the twists, while slightly damp because they were closing and I wanted to see what it looked like before leaving. It was new for me-​the highlights were more on the yellowish side when they dried but it was still kinda cool and the cut was solid so I’m like «hey, I could rock this.»
After a while, I was over these blonde highlights and wanted the copper –what I wanted originally. I booked my appt with Adia (junior stylist) because Danielle’s prices were too high just for some highlights. This time I wanted a few more highlights evenly distributed around my head. I had pictures as a reference and all. As she was lifting my hair, I noticed she lifted a very large patch in the middle of my hair and when she washed it out that entire area was damn near white. It didn’t look right at all, nor like what I had asked for but I didn’t freak out because she hadn’t yet put the red on top and I was TRUSTING her as a stylist. When she put the red on top, sat me under the dryer and finally washed it out… there were a lot of different red tones, but it certainly wasn’t distributed properly. But! It was still wet! Clearly, I was keeping hope alive, lol. I left with my hair wet because I was NOT paying an extra $ 35 for two strand twists this time. When this ish dried… I swear to you… I looked like Woody Wood Pecker! I was mortified! And had a photo shoot in two days. I called the shop hysterical and had to wait for Danielle to call me back, who also seems to be the manager.
I went in the next day… and honestly, she (Danielle) was NOT apologetic at all! She seemed completely not phased and unbothered and asked «so what do you want to do?» I told her I wanted to go back to my natural color and she told me they wouldn’t charge me anything to tone it down or break up some of the color in the middle of my head (and make it look more like the photo) but if I wanted to go back to my natural color they would need to put a demi permanent on top which would cost $ 55. Talking bout «that’s policy!» Excuse me? UNBELIEVEABLE. If they didn’t screw up my hair I wouldn’t have to pay anything to undo the damage that was done! At that point, I had lost all trust and thought the safest and best thing to do was to make my hair one color. Sure I was very upset, but I was not rude, or nasty… I didn’t curse anyone out. I just wanted it fixed. Them charging me was going to be the deciding factor as to whether I return or not. Danielle toned it down and then applied the demi permanent. Yes, they charged me and CLEARLY, because of that I will never return. See here is my thing… when you are running a business, mishaps happen. I get that! But if you screw up, you must take ownership! And are obligated to fix it and repair the relationship with that customer so that they will hopefully return-​even if that means not charging them $ 55 just to mix and apply some demi permanent color –_​_​_​– so that you can maintain a good relationship and so that that client will potentially bring more clients your way. Even if it means bending «policy.» –_​_​_​_​– But, like I said… it didn’t phase her. I do appreciate the Junior stylist for coming over to me to apologize before I left. But just a horrible experience overall. Smh. NEVER AGAIN.

I’ve been going here for about the last three years and cannot say enough good things about not only my stylist, Meg but virtually every single member of the staff past and present.
Each and every time I come I’m always greeted with nothing but warm smiles and positivity, it’s like an oasis. And don’t get me started on the shampooing and scalp massages. Relaxing and energizing at the same time and I’ve never had a bad shampooing, not once. I’d pay just to have a shampoo and styling once a week if I didn’t live so far away. I do not give out praises easily but Suite Beverly is that good.
When I’m feeling down or bored with my look or when it starts feeling like my hair is ruining my life, Meg and the staff at Suite Beverly turn that around and give me back control of my look, control of my life, my destiny. I leave feeling adored and beautiful again and am ready to meet the challenges of the day. A great haircut is empowering. A great haircut is like nitrous oxide to a fast and furious life. A great haircut makes me want to be a better man.
If you’re looking for a great salon, I highly recommend Suite Beverly.

Great experience! They were on time, polite and very detailed. Prices are average and reasonable. My stylist is a perfectionist! She was very honest with me about what I wanted and what would work for me. She worked my color in very well and the cut is fantastic. I have not had so many compliments on my hair in a long time! Definitely going back.

Suite Beverly was recommend by a good friend of mine who is «natural» and knew I was looking for a good salon to maintain my daughter’s natural hair. Well we made an appointment for a consultation. The receptionist assured me we were in good hands since it would be with the owner. No such luck… She did even bother to take a minute to introduce herself. She walked up to my daughter and thought she was another client getting a consult for a color. She then mumbled through an explanation of a maintenance plan for her hair which would include a complete chop of all her hair due to some breakage. I ask that she repeat what she said and again she mumbled something. Oh did, I mention that my daughter is 14 years old and I explained she was about to start school in the next 2 weeks. When I later told my friend what happen she said she wish we spoke before I went in because she no longer was a client because she did not like the customer service or better said the lack of it that came with high prices. Really sad!!!

Great Vibes as soon as you enter the Salon. I went with my wife for a cut and a dye. She scheduled an appointment and did not have to wait. When she was done she looked like a brand new person. We both loved the look and you can see her walk with confidence. This place is definitely recommended. You get what you pay for. Inexpensive and eventful. I wouldn’t mind coming with her again.

I have been here twice on the recommendation of a friend. Last time I was here the jr. stylist who started my hair was not the best BUT I was saved by Danielle and again I left looking amazing. Unlike reviewers I have never had to wait, Ive only gone during the week in the afternoon.
As someone of mixed nationality I appreciate the dedication and good work done by the salon, as well as the reasonable prices for suburban NJ.

Hair stylist was okay. Went in for a Bob and had to go to another salon to fix it. Dissapointed and spent so much money. Oh and they made you wait a long time ! It was a 2 and half hour hair appt for just a hair cut.

My haircut here was 3 or 4 stars, but the service is 1 or 2.
I went twice and will never go again.
Each time I made an appointment. Each time I showed up 10 minutes early, like I always do for haircuts, and each time I waited an absurd amount of time for my haircut. The first time it was 1 hour. The second time, it was over 2 hours and they kept moving me around the salon to wait because it was so crowded. The girl ended up cutting my hair DRY because all of the washing stations were occupied (and I had already waited over 2 hours), then she washed it AFTER cutting and blowed it dry immediately after, while it was still soaking wet. It is common knowledge how bad that is for your hair, I would expect a stylist to know better. I just wanted to get out at that point.
Both times I made an appointment in advance and was told I would have a specific stylist, and both times I showed up and was given a different person to cut my hair because the person I booked was «busy.»
Whoever is doing the booking here needs to be re-​educated or replaced. This is not how a salon at their price point should operate. The girl at the desk was apologetic, but this seems to be a recurring problem.

Just recently got my hair done by Danielle while visiting the East Coast and she hooked it up! I was rocking a bob for a while and Danielle updated it with an edgier cut more texture and cute bangs. She knew exactly what I was going for without having to say a lot. Definitely worth the money!

Nice shop, friendly staff, but EXTREMELY overpriced for their services. When I left with my pockets almost $ 300 lighter I would have thought I where in Beverly Hills or something. If you’re not willing to dig into your 401k for a simple highlight and deep condition, then don’t bother. There’s nothing sweet about Suite Beverly.

Suite Beverly integrates all elements of salon and boutique, forming a perfect combination for those who love to be pampered AND shop. Rather than heading into New York and dishing out city prices for hair and spa treatments, Suite Beverly gives you that experience for half the price and zero commuting time.
The stylists are trustworthy and know what works best for you. I’m never afraid to let them experiment because I’ve always been pleased with the outcome. The atmosphere is welcoming and major bonus points for having the cutest selection of vintage/​modern clothing and accessories.
If you are looking for a charming and truly fashionable salon/​boutique, I highly recommend Suite Beverly.
P. S. — Word on the street is that these girls throw some great parties for their clientele from time to time.

I’ve gone to Suite Beverly at least every two weeks since it opened. My Stylist (Danielle) has the best cut and color skills in New Jersey — and maybe in America (and I’ve lived all over the country). I tend to prefer a trendy look and often when I’ve shown Stylists what I want done, it doesn’t turn out the way I’d hoped, not because I don’t have the right texture of hair to do what I’m asking, but rather because I’m looking for something nontraditional that requires skills not used on a normal basis. Danielle’s talents exceed my expectations.
Danielle is vocal about what products are best for my hair and she often thinks about the next look that she’d like to try on me. However, she’s not pushy and will ultimately let the customer make the decision.
I love the vibe and I love that I don’t have to wait ages to be serviced. Everyone in the salon is professional and attentive, the salon is clean and organized and the ambiance is upbeat without being distracting (an added bonus since I’m typically doing work while at the salon).
I’ve waited a long time to find a salon like this and finally… Tabatha (Salon Takeover) would be proud.

Suite Beverly captures the lost art of the salon experience. The space is inviting and relaxing. The staff is professional, friendly and familiar. Their youth and loveliness is refreshing and they are always poised and polished.
As far as the amenities are concerned, one would be hard pressed to find a comparable array of hair and skin services. I had never colored my hair, but SB has converted me. I am constantly complemented on my glowing highlights and often have to convince others that it is not my natural color. My cut is always fresh and new, complimentary to my face and style. I am confident in my stylist’s abilities and opinions, often allowing her to «just do it» and am always pleased beyond expectation.
I have been a client of Danielle, the owner, for more than 10 years. Now that she has her own salon, I am happy to recommend her expertise to anyone. I am naturally curly, other friends and clients are straight, kinky and in between. No matter what, we all look amazing thanks to Suite Beverly.
The spa services are equally impressive. As a brazilian wax girl, I can report that Angela is by far the best waxer ever. She uses the best cream wax and has «TendSkin» on hand. The pain is minimal and the results are spectacular. Her facials are legendary and eliminate the need for a visit to the dermatologist. She is only available Saturdays so get your appointment booked early.

After visiting Suite Beverly a second time, I am convinced that I have found a hair world I can comfortably enter with minimal embarrassment, and excellent results. As a dude, bro, quasi-​hipster, whatever, I’ve never spent much time figuring out what to do about my hair. It’s there, fortunately, but that’s all i’ve got. On top of that, i’ve been blessed enough to have two hair dresser aunts who have saved me the embarrassment of describing publicly what I need done. I don’t know buzzer numbers. In fact, I don’t know any hair words beyond beehive, buzz and bowl cut and pompadour. I’m not a marine, and I do live in this century, so i’m basically lost all the time.
But sweet suite beverly comes to the rescue. I tell them I want to look like some cool musician or famous president or comic book character, they bring out a MacBook (funny completely unrelated side note: iPad proper-​nounifies all Mac words), flip through the endless google scroll of photos and we’re off. Seriously, just moving past those horrible 90’s yearbook photo books is a huge step up for me.
Long story short, the doo is done. My girlfriend is happy. And I feel cool coming back to Brooklyn looking sharp and eminently presentable for work.
As an added note, just saying ‘suite beverly’ makes me feel like Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks. Try it some time — after you get your hair did.

My boo and I wandered into Suite Beverly the other day; he needed a haircut (or de-​mulletizing, whichever), and the sign out front advertised 50% off for first-​time walk-​ins.
The space is charming without being too cute. It’s respectable for a dude to hang out in, but it does keep a secret stash of trashy lady magazines in the cabinet. The music is good too — a lot of funk and motown.
It was about a 15 minute wait for a chair. The lady working on my boyfriend (Danielle) was patient with his vague descriptions of what he wanted and even pulled out a laptop to look up Roger Federer’s haircut when I stepped in to explain that’s what he really wanted (he was just too embarrassed to march in and yell, «give me the Federer!»).
The whole staff was attentive, friendly and chatty without being over-​the-​top, and at the end boo had a really good-​looking, manageable hairdo.
Prices are decent — not cheap, but reasonable: starting at $ 55 for women’s haircuts and $ 35 for men. And they have a ton of great promotional stuff (like discounts for first-​timers and for referrals) going on right now because they’re trying to get the word out. It’s a pretty new business, and I want them to succeed. Go!
