Salon Vencenza & Day Spa

Roy messed up my hair. His Instagram looks so wonderful. I came to him with hair that had been previously colored. I had an ombré and wanted to turn it to blonde highlights. He told me he uses Olaplex, that he can do a great job, etc.
First of all, his room has VERY dim lighting. So you can’t see what color your hair really is.
When I got out of the salon, I noticed a lot of warm tones. By the time I inspected my hair fully, I saw that I had tones ranging from orange to patchy brown to yellow. My hair was COMPLETELY uneven. It did not look highlighted at all, more like someone had took out patches of hair randomly and dyed them blonde and orange, with brown in between.
I also read about the Olaplex process and let me tell you I am 99% sure that no Olaplex was used because all the steps of the Olaplex process were not performed.
I demanded that my hair get fixed and so he poured bleach all over my hair. It was awful. It looked like I tried to dye my hair blonde out of a box. I had tones of orange and yellow everywhere, but he had put so much bleach at my roots that it looked as if I had a single process gone wrong.
Thank HEAVENS that a few months later I found a salon to fix my horrid color. It was hell to bleach all the orange tones out and my hair took a real beating in the process. I will have breakage for years.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he promises, doesn’t listen, and doesn’t deliver. He gave me a hard time about correcting my hair and insisted there was nothing wrong, and all he did was pour bleach on it which made it WORSE.
My hair will suffer for years for these mistakes. I should NEVER have gone to him.

BEWARE! If I could give Roy 0 stars — I would! He burned chunks of my hair off, and gave me a blotchy-​spotty orange/​yellow color when I asked for a balayage in silver/​cool tones. Everyone I shared my horror with had the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE. I spoke to 15 girls, & all had the same to say. Wish I can post pictures of this dye job with spots of dark yellow in between over-​bleached broken off hair!

Drove 3 hours from Jersey to see this man’s talent 1^st hand!!! HE Definitely did not disappointed. Walked in 20minutes late in packed salon holiday weekend upon us. Waited 5minutes sat down discussed options extensions installed while we laughed joked and spoke about weekend plans. Literally was out in 1.5 hours with no parking tickets and money left for lunch!!! He did not break the bank. I’ll see him next week for color which I’m looking forward to!

Horrible salon. Do not go here of your life depended on it. I made an appointment for a ombré coloring with rosario «Roy». My hair was all different colors because I have dyed it in the past. I asked and showed a picture of what I wanted. I wanted dark brown roots fading into caramel ombré on the ends.
He striped my hair on the ends and never dyed the top, also left in the bleach too long.
Ended up leaving my hair with nothing new on the top, still all different red tones, and on the bottom a bright orange.
I saw this and told him to fix it but he said it was just the lighting in the salon and reassured me that everyone would «love» it.
Sure enough I come home and my boyfriend and best friend tell it like it is. It was horrible and I looked like a clown. I called him and said that either I get a refund or he fixes it. He said to come in. Next day I come in he’s busy busy not a minute to speak to me, tones my hair for 15 minutes and sends me on my way.
Again, 3 washes later my hair is back to orange now with a tint of green.
Never again will I go here and would never recommend it to anyone.
AND… It was not cheap, he charged me $ 160 to ruin my hair.

Just started going to Roy this past year and I’ve become a loyal customer. I found him on Instagram and fell in love with his work. From the moment I cAlled him for an appointment he really listened to what I wanted which is very important to me. Of course I waited before I got in his chair but that is only because he is sooooo busy and has a huge clientele. I know many people who have been customers of his for 10+ years for color and extensions. (What he specializes in) He has genuine talent and never disappoints. I would definetly recommend!

I don’t typically write reviews but for this one I had too. I went to Roy a few weeks ago because I had wanted a bright red color in my hair. I don’t typically stray from my regular hair salon but I had seen a picture on his Instagram that he claims to have done and I wanted the exact same thing so I assumed he’d be able to recreate it. When I went in I showed him the picture and he said ‘yes I remember her, her hair was dyed jet black before that’ so I figured great cause my hair was dyed a dark color too so he should be able to do it. First of all. He’s always over booked and has a bunch of girls waiting to be seen and second. He barely even touched my hair, his assistant who happened to be very sweet did most of the work. Roy just applied the color that she had mixed into my hair and that was it. Once everything was said and done he cut it and she curled it and when it was done I wasn’t entirely sure I liked it cause it looked nothing like the color in the picture. He said not to worry that it’ll brighten up and had me buy this red conditioner to use to help keep the color vibrant. I should’ve known that the color was horrendous cause he didn’t take my ‘precious picture’ to post on his Instagram and when I got home and got in some decent lighting I realized that my hair was actually orange. You couldn’t tell so much from the curls but when the curls begin to fall and straighten I noticed how horrible the color actually was. I was so upset and called him that following Monday and told him he needed to fix it cause I paid a good amount of money for it and there was no way I was going to continue to walk around with orange hair. Thankfully he said he would and the color came out better even though it still wasn’t the color I had originally wanted. I would NOT recommend going to him cause he is not good. This is what I get for cheating on my regular colorist who always gets what I want and does a great job. I went to him only because I saw the picture on his page and thought he’d have to problem doing it on my hair as well. Never again!

Whatever you do, do not go to Roy. I asked him for red ombré and balayage, but he talked me out of red (probably because he was too lazy/didn’t know how to do it) and just used straight bleach. He didn’t use toner at all and on top of it he gave me these nasty highlights all over my head even though I didn’t ask for that, plus the whole point of me asking for ombré/​baylage was so that he wouldn’t touch my roots. I asked him to blow out my hair straight but he literally said no and gave me curls. He used a curling iron on top of it so that he could charge me more money. The outcome is seriously dreadful, he did not blend the color at ALL and clearly just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. The reason he curled my hair is so that he could cover up the sloppy job that he did and so that he could post it on his stupid instagram (by the way his instagram is extremely deceptive and consists of pictures that aren’t even his). As I was leaving I told him that I wanted to cut my hair short soon, and he literally said «no». Basically he decides what he wants to do with his customer’s hair so that it could blend in with his instagram– long, curled hair with random streaks of color in it. At first I was excited because I got some color in my hair but I really regret not saying anything to him while I was there. Don’t let him fool you and steal your money
