What they are saying: KIMMY IS THE BEST (really the whole staff at Yoni Kreger is phenomenal). I've never had a regular stylist before Kimmy, and I think that's because I've never had my hair done and been genuinely happy with it before her. She's done a great brown/blonde balayage on my hair, and numerous haircuts which I've always been happy with. My most recent hair style has been my decision to do a blue ombré. She made my hair look like actual mermaid hair. My friends are blown away by how natural she was able to make blue look in my hair. I can't get enough of this salon! Love everything about it.

3. Jesse's Shear Genius Hair Boutique.

131 S Orange Ave, South Orange, NJ 07079

Phone number: (973) 763-5050

What they are saying: I was search for a hair salon that specialized in natural hair care that wasn't overly expensive. I heard little about this salon but decided to take a chance and I AM SO GLAD I DID. My hair has been through it all! Braids, perms, weaves, puff puffs, you name it. I came for a wash (deep condition), blow out and flat iron. I have very thick corse 4c type hair and my hair came out like silk! It was so smooth and neatly done. They know so much about hair and the service was absolutely outstanding!!! This is now my regular salon! Another thing: I have had such terrible experiences with heat styling tools. I've gotten burnt so many times, suffered from damage because my hair wasn't properly prepared for it. But at this salon I HAD NO PROBLEMS. I sat in the chair so calmly. Each pass through my hair was great. Overall: I left with bouncy, healthy, evenly trimmed, moisturized hair!!
