Hair Salons near Carteret

“Great salon. I have been having my son get his hair braided here for years and then my daughter gets her hair done here as well. When my mom moved up here this was her go to salon as well. We're definitely going to keep supporting.“

“Went through a few very bad cuts, so grateful I found Kelly. Got what I wanted , couldn't be happier.“

“We walked in and all the worries we had before stepping in disappeared. Sandy, who’s the stylist, invited us with a warm welcome and made sure our experience here was amazing. Both my children were very scared, not having gone to a stylist before, but they loved their experience there. Sandy evaluates the clients, making sure their voice is heard but also helping improve those ideas. Overall an amazing time.“

“I found Tierra from mutual friend at the beginning of my hair journey on New Year’s Eve 2024. She is talented and professional and truly cares about people in their hair. I would highly recommend her salon. It has an inviting and warm atmosphere.“

“So there are two listings for the same salon. I will be duplicating this review for the other listing since there are two.
This listing and reviews are what brought me to Waves.
I needed a haircut badly. My hair had many dead ends and was frizzing and tangling easily.
After seeing whose name came up the most I went to Noreen for my cut and style.
Booking the appointment was so easy. I made the appointment online which was great for me. It was also a day they were closed so I didn’t have to worry about waiting for them to open and forgetting to call. I can always book it whenever. And the text/email reminders were so helpful.
I was worried about parking but that turned out to be a nonissue. The area of Cranford is very nice but isn’t as busy as the downtown area. It is street parking. But not metered. And I found a spot right out front in the shade! It is currently an excessive heat watch so shade is helpful. And I mean it was right out front and it was an end spot so I didn’t even have to parallel park.
I got there a little early. Checked in and everyone was very nice. They made sure I didn’t park in the back lot which is for residents. So helpful.
I met Noreen and she was so very nice.
I got my hair washed by Fiona and she was also very nice. Easy to chat with. The chair and sink were very comfortable. Sometimes the sinks hurt my neck but this was not an issue. It was very relaxing.
Then Noreen and I talked about what I wanted done with my hair. She made extra sure that I was comfortable with the length of my hair and my new curtain bangs and face frame. Did exactly what I wanted and did it amazingly!
Sometimes stylists want to “thin” out my thick hair or give me layers but I prefer not to get that done. Noreen did not do this which I appreciated. She really was attentive. Again she also was so easy to talk to. So friendly.
She knew I was going out that night and styled my hair wonderfully. Even told me how to freshen it up later and how to recreate the look on my own.
I was curious about the MagicShield keratin treatment and she told me everything about it! Not only the price but how long it would take, four hours, which is important information! Informed on everything. It was very helpful.
Finally I’ll just comment on the salon itself. It’s pretty large but not crowded which is nice. Plenty of space between stylists so you’re not crammed in. It looks very sleek. Plenty of light. A nice sitting area. I really do love how open it was. It was also clean and updated. Lots of natural light as well.
There was no surprise charges and they even had Apple Pay available. The receptionist knew who washed my hair and everything I had done. I was able to leave a tip in an envelope with her so I didn’t have to find or interrupt anyone.
So to sum it up I will be going back and I do highly suggest this salon.

Requested style: I wanted a significant amount of hairs cut and a curtain bang that flowed into a face frame.

Hair type: Very long hair to a tad longer than shoulder length. Very thick and takes longer to cut and is harder to cut well. Noreen cut it amazingly well.

Stylist: Noreen was amazing and so very nice. Was able to handle my thick hair.“

“Very simply: the best blowout of my life. My hair looked gorgeous for a week. I can’t even explain. The photo does not do it justice. Thank you!“

“Kate is the best! We have had 2 appts so far for hair trials for my daughter’s upcoming wedding. We had such a fun time picking styles and she nailed it each time! Her studio is amazing and calm… I felt like I was at home. Such an awesome experience!! Thx Kate!!!“

“Angel was an excellent masseuse! She was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. She was caring and immediately made me feel relaxed. She continued to explain each step and inquired about how I felt! I loved my massage.“

“I went there for a hair cut which I haven’t gotten in a few years and Kiki did an amazing job . She listened to what I wanted and took her time with it making sure I was happy with my hair cut . Everyone was very nice and the environment was wonderful . I will be back again !“

“Angie was the sweetest stylist and I loved my haircut! She was amazing at recommending a haircut that would suit my specific needs. One of the best haircuts I’ve had! Highly recommend this salon :) plus she was so nice to make a delicious cinnamon latte in the salon! ✨“

“Love this business!! Everyone is so happy and friendly!Joselin does beautiful nails! I love her!“

“Hair Sanctuary Studio is very warm and welcoming. My daughter and I are more than happy with our first experience there. Toni and Ashley were wonderful. Ashley thoughtfully explained different color and cut options to us as well as listened to what we wanted to do. I am thankful that I found Hair Sanctuary Studio and look forward to returning again soon !“

“I went in very last minute. I called and asked if they can fit me in for a hair cut. This was about 5pm and they close at 6:30. Very nice and wonderful staff! Did an excellent job for my haircut! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I wanted to dye my hair but wasn’t sure which color would suit me best. Sky helped me choose the perfect shade and also gave me a haircut that completely matched my style. His taste and technique are both truly professional. I’m really happy with how everything turned out — highly recommend!“

“Beautiful and contemporary salon with amazing customer service. I came here for the first time in hopes to get a botched haircut from another place fixed. Dianna was so gentle and meticulous with my hair and completely understood my vision. Will be a regular and can’t wait for my next visit!“

“This was my first time at bombshell studio. I had an amazing experience at the studio. My color and cut could not have come out better, I have not had such a wonderful experience in years at a salon . My hair came out better than I could have imagined. I also felt like I was talking to old friends. Bella took care of me and she was absolutely amazing. Minx and Bella made me feel soo comfortable and welcome. I will be telling everyone I know about the experience I had there and how extraordinary my time there was . If you need a great place to go to, make an appointment with them !! Thanks again!❤️“

“Alex, you have magical hands! My haircut looks absolutely stunning—so fresh, stylish, and flattering. You truly have a gift, and I’m beyond happy with how beautifully it turned out.“

“I saw that they had a great rating on reviews so I thought I would try them out. The salon is in a charming old house and all of the gals who worked there were extremely cordial. They were booked solid for a few days but they squeezed me in when I explained I had an outing the next night. The owner Bob cut my my hair himself and the guy couldn't have been a nicer guy.
I'm extremely happy with my haircut and the entire experience was very pleasant, a great comfortable spot. I guess 37 years in one location speaks volumes.
The best part of it, I've finally found my place for my future haircuts after being disappointed for years in 'barbershops'.
It was twice as much as I've ever paid for a haircut but an extra $25 for quality and not having my haircut look like a blind person cut it is priceless.
Give them a try, you'll thank me.“

“I always do my nails with Rosie. Comes out awesome every single time, nice decor and great customer service“

“We attended a group braiding session with Michelle, and had such a fun and informative experience learning a few techniques- Would definitely recommend for a hands-on class!“

“Hinna is very skilled and meticulous in all of her services. She is also highly efficient and personable!“

“Debbie Hoffman is a joy to be with every time I come to Visage and it’s a pleasure to have my hair done by her. From start to finish, she’s incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of her craft. When I first went in July for a balayage, I wasn’t entirely sure how the process would go, but Debbie was more than happy to explain every step in detail and give great suggestions for my hair that complimented my natural appearance, both in color and shape. The comfort, confidence, and satisfaction of her clients are very much her foremost priorities, and I can easily say that she is the best, most skilled, and friendliest hairstylist I’ve had the privilege to meet. Whenever I need my hair to be done with the utmost expertise, I know I’ll be able to count on Debbie!“

“I just had my fourth visit to Soto’s Beauty Salon, and I can confidently say this is my new favorite spot! Nena has been my go-to for manicures and pedicures, and every single time she delivers outstanding results. Her skill, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor keep me coming back. The salon has such a relaxing and welcoming vibe, making it the perfect place to unwind. As a man, I appreciate how comfortable and professional the experience always is. If you’re looking for consistent, high-quality service, Soto’s Beauty Salon is the place to be. Nena and the team are simply the best!“

“Amazing work and sweet staff! They are so kind and took wonderful care of my hair. I’m so in love with my new hair!“

“After being disappointed by so many salons, I have finally discovered one that is not only beautiful and clean but I found Sydney who will give you exactly what you want. She understands hair and scalp! She comes from a history of hairdressers & her expertise along with up to date trends are amazing. She is trained on checking for any suspicious lesions on the scalp which made the experience that much more comfortable. My hair has less damage, less breakage & looks amazing. Thank you Sydney & Lavender !!!“
