A calm, local salon on Second Street where stylists listen first, then cut and color for your features. More than twenty years of regulars agree.

The salon

Phil listens, then styles your hair how it best suits your features. Alexis fixes color that went wrong. That's the whole secret.

New to New Jersey and nervous about finding a salon? Plenty of clients were, until their first appointment here.

Some clients have been coming for over twenty years. Others followed their stylist here and never looked back.
