Haircutter In The Meadow

Everyone asks why i travel to Secaucus to get my hair done when I live in Elizabeth, and work in Manhattan....When u find a great place with great service and great people...u stay with them and stay a loyal customer!!! Pretty much anyone you choose here to do your hair will do an amazing job!!! You cannot go wrong!!! I have Sachico or Rania at the top of my list ..they also have this new awesome machine to help with circulation and weight loss...ask Rob about it when u go in!!!! It is amazing!!!!

The owner is a jerk. Don't try anything out of the ordinary here. They think three washes is how long your color should last.

Excellent services. Pedicure and manicure by Suzie was wonderful. She was professional and did an excellent job. Will be back! Also, Rania did an amazing job with my haircut as well as my mothers. We were both very pleased with the time and care she took to make sure we were totally satisfied. The cut is amazing. So pleased with the services provided we will definitely be back!

I came in for the Japanese Straightening as my sister had done the same thing here a few years back and was happy with the result. Due to religious reasons I requested a female stylist and to have the process which takes well over 5 hours done in a private room. Rob, the owner, was very accommodating and I respect his efforts in that respect. I worked with Noriko and I must say she is the epitome of professionalism and hospitality she even offered to go purchase snacks for me as I was hungry after sitting for more than 4 hours. She offered hair tips and advice and she was very genuine not to mention beyond meticulous in her work. In terms of the end result, I believe this salon delivers. However, I feel that there is an issue of honesty and straightforwardness. On the website, the Japanese is listed as starting from $350 and I can understand the keyword is STARTING however, I was quoted $450 and my sister well above $600 so as an initial listing I feel $350 is not even realistic and I would suggest placing the more accurate description of the pricing. After the consultation Noriko quoted me for $450, I had already paid $25 deposit. After I was finished and went to pay the owner, he quoted me at $500 which I thought was weird but assumed he included tip. I left and headed towards my car and was followed by my stylist who very politely told me that if I am satisfied with her service that tip was not included. When I went back into the salon I explained to Rob that I was quoted $450 and was charged $500 and now I am being told that doesn’t include tips he said that is correct. He then proceeded to speak with Noriko and asking her why she quoted me for $450 he then came outside and spoke with me and said whatever she has said is not accurate and that around there he is the only one who is accurate. To me, that is demeaning to his employees as he undermined her in front of the customer which I find a tad rude even if she made the mistake of misquoting me he does not have to put the blame on her there was just something about the way he said it that I found offensive. I then left saying okay then I’m just not leaving tip which he just laughed at. I got the vibe that he doesn't really care about his employees as long as he got his share it didn't really matter if she didn't receive tip. I would excuse this if it were the first time but the same exact thing apparently happened to my sister who said she always was tricked into paying even more to include tip and that there was no honesty initially about how much she would be charged. BOTTOM LINE IS GREAT SERVICE BUT MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH YOUR EXPECTED TO PAY AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE TIP!!!

Pushy staff, convoluted scheduling, there's no such thing as a simple hair cut here. They really try to up-sell you on the products, even "accidentally" ringing up a spray then encouraging me to buy and try it anyway. Emailing list is fairly abusive with no clear way to unsubscribe that works. If you're the type that enjoys visiting a salon and being wrapped up in the experience for a few hours, you may have better luck. But if you day doesn't revolve around your hair and you're looking for a quick haircut on lunch break, keep looking.
