Artistic Hair

Sharon is one hell of a Woman!
She fit me in for a same day appointment when I walked in, and was completely warm and personable. I have never been great at knowing to do with my hair, and no one has ever taken the time to show me in a way I could easily manage.
I explained my hair woes, and she made me confident that she could help me figure out the best style for my hair.
The shampoo she used made my hair tingle, and she had my laughing through my entire appointment. The other clients in there seemed to be regulars, and they had me cracking up about my horrible upstairs neighbors.
Sharon put soft waves at the bottom of my hair, and it looked utterly lovely.
I will certainly be back, because she is beyond amazing at what she does.

I want to love this place, I truly do. But I’m not sure. Sharon is a lovely person and has a nice little salon in a part of town that really needs such a place. However, my experience leaves me uncertain of my return. I mean this feedback to be constructive so I hope the business takes it that way. I had an appointment for a Saturday for a cut and single process color. When I arrived, I had to wait 30 mins to be seen. It was way over-​booked and Sharon is the only stylist. This was a problem even DURING my apt. when she would jump from me to other customers conducting multiple appointments once (like 3 – 4 other appointments). This was a bit of a turn off. When I did have her attention, I don’t feel like she really listened due to being distracted by so many appointments at once. The color: usually when I get my color done, 2 batches of different color formulas are mixed. 1 for the roots, and a 2^nd one to be pulled through about 15 mins. in through the ends as my color had faded to a brassy brown red on the ends that needed a different hue to correct that than what was used on my dark brown root. She didn’t do that at all, but rather applied the 1 batch of color to the whole head right away. I found greys when I got home, and the brassy red was still slightly visible and then really visible for several weeks after. More time and care should have been spent on this part. The cut: I have short hair below the ear. I told her that I did not want to go too short, but that I did want the layers cleaned up. Next thing I know, about 3+ inches are gone all around the bottom, and she worked at such lightening speed I felt like I couldn’t weigh in at all on the length change, nor did she show my how much she had in mind to take of prior to starting. She just said something like «the hair just speaks to me and I know what to do». Uh, ok, but that doesn’t help me at all envision what you have in mind, or get to weigh in on if that’s what I want before you get all Edward Scissorhands lightening fast on me :). The cut took like 10 – 15 mins tops. Styling was even faster and minimal. Like with the color, I felt super rushed and that she was distracted by other clients. Don’t get me wrong — she is very skilled. The cut is a good cut, and works with my texture. And if she had slowed down a bit and communicated more what she had in mind before doing it, I would have felt more at ease. Its just way shorter than I wanted or expressed to her. I liked Sharon — she’s skilled and personable, and her clients seem to really like her too (she even felt ok asking 1 to help her out by sweeping the floor… uh, ok?). And I want her to continue to succeed in this neighborhood. I just wish she’s slow down, stop over-​booking and take more time with each client to listen and communicate throughout the process. Also the pricing wasn’t consistent or clear up front. She told me on the phone when I scheduled and described my hair that my services would run about $ 120-​$ 125. I wasn’t given any pricing when I checked in for the appointment, and was then told my bill was $ 135 and that includes a «special» (not sure what that was). That’s before any tip. I might give it one more chance on a less busy day, but my verdict is still out.

Artistic Hair is a top notch salon with a great vibe and stellar hair stylist. Sharon gets it right. In my constant battle with my greys, I have found a stylist who meticulously colors my hair. I was very pleased and will definitely return!

It was truly a blessing to find Sharon and her salon Artistic Hair! Not only does she know her stuff and is concerned about nurturing your hair, she is a bright light that exudes a beautiful and welcoming essence as soon as you walk through the door of the salon. The icing on the cake is that the salon is extremely kid-​friendly and will be my 8 year old daughter’s permanent hairdresser from now on. We felt really cared about from the very first moment. Brava Sharon and Artistic Hair!

I visited this salon for the first time today, and while I have a few hair challenges to overcome, I feel that I am in skilled hands. Sharon is an extremely gifted stylist, and, as other reviewers have noted, she really listens and seems to care about the long term health of your hair. I’ve been to many other hair care professionals (hcps) who espouse to the same ideals, but I feel that Sharon is the real deal. She even called herself a mad scientist and I don’t think she’s far off. I left my first visit feeling like a new person, with a confidence that I’ve never achieved with previous hcps. Kudos to Sharon and shout out to Tiana (sp?), her assistant. Check out Artistic Hair — you won’t be disappointed.

My experience with Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was greeted with a smile, and actually taken at the correct appointment time. The salon is immaculate, and has an incredible vibe to it. When Sharon first introduced herself to me, she asked me to tell her a bit of history about my hair, and what I was looking to do that day. She actually listened, and offered her advice, instead of automatically telling me what she thought was best. Overall, FANTASTIC experience, and I will definitely be coming back again!

Please check out the specials for October… perfect pricing and a variety of services that can not be passed up.

Great cut by Sharon. Place was nice and the staff was friendly. 70 bucks for a haircut which is more than I would usually pay but I was happy with the results. I will go back!

The first time Sharon cut my hair it was amazing — the best cut I had ever had. It looked fantastic from the moment I walked out of the salon and grew out beautifully.
No way that could happen again, right? WRONG. 2^nd time — gorgeous! Exactly what I wanted — beautiful! Better than any cut I’ve gotten at any salon. (Even those snotty places downtown.)
The bonus is that Sharon is a genuinely lovely human and just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy and good and peaceful when you’re in her chair.

They don’t make stylists like Sharon anymore. She is a true hair artist and such an angel of a person! I followed Sharon from Hoboken to Jersey City; she is the ONLY person I trust to handle my curly, thick hair. I always leave her salon feeling amazing and looking fabulous! She is the best.

Sharon has been doing hair for most of my life, from relaxers to short cuts to weaves. She really does it all. Not only is she really great with hair, she is brutally honest and gives the best advice for your specific hair. It is so exciting to see her thriving in her space. Artistic Hair offers not only great hair care, but also a good time and incredible pedicures :)

My Daughter Marisa found Artistic hair on the Internet as a place to get our hair done for her wedding. We had never went there before and had never met Sharon. My daughter is of mixed racial heritage and I am Italian.
We were not prepared for the most wonderful experience we had. First of all Sharon is wonderful. She is warm and friendly and made us feel like old friends. Her shop is spotless and nicely decorated. Most of all she is great hairdresser. She was able to handle both our hair types with ease. She understood what we wanted, gave great input and more than delivered on the day of the wedding.
She has an eyebrow expert named Marjorie that is amazing. No one will ever touch mine or Marisa’s brows again!
The day of the wedding Sharon opened early for our party. She had coffee, munchins, salmon quiche. We were 3 people with different hair types looking for different styles.
We all got more than we could ever expect. Our hair looked beautiful! Mine is fine and she made me look like I had thick beautiful hair. My daughter said she never had someone understand and handle her hair better.
Sharon is an artist. Go here for all your hair needs and you will not be disappointed. I never got so many compliments.
Sharon will be our hairdresser from now on and our friend. We love you Sharon! Thank You!,

I had my hair done by Sharon for the first time last week after getting a recommendation from a friend who said that Sharon has «hair growing hands». My hair was completely transformed. It was pin straight and so shiny that it almost looked like I had a wig on, but it was my hair! Sharon was extremely helpful with informing me on tips to improve my hair care routine. This week everyone noticed my hair cut. I have had a similar cut for over a year (down to my shoulders with blunt bangs), but everyone noticed it was different this time and I had tons of compliments at work.

I am SOOO happy to have found a great salon so close to my home! Usually I would have to go to Hoboken or NYC but something made me check Unilocal for hair salons near me and up pops this 5-​star gem!
Warmly recommend this place, had the absolute best experience with Sharon!

Sharon did my hair for my wedding without a trial and she did an amazing job. My hair is long (over 2 feet) and straight and more on the thick side and she was able to use these flowers I bought from Michael’s to put it up. She also did my mom’s and when my other friend came to my hotel room she (at no charge) asked her to sit in the chair and she straightened out her hair a bit because she told my friend that she could tell she was a sweet soul. She made us all look amazing and was so nice. I’m coming back here for all my up-do’s!

Sharon is amazing! She does the best blow outs ever in a short time too. I have eastern European hair with three different textures. Sharon and her staff are so friendly. Highly recommend!

Sharon is so amazing, as always she knows exactly what to do. For the last 8 years she has taken care of my hair and it always looks AMAZING! I will follow her to the ends of the earth, thankfully she’s just 1.7 miles away in Jersey City. So glad she branched out on her own.

Sharon is one of the most considerate hairdressers I’ve ever encountered. She listens to EXACTLY what you want and does exactly what you want. She gives incredible advice and actually knows what she’s doing. The environment is amazing and she personally is incredible. Her prices are amazing. It’s a great higher class salon with better prices. And she always uses the BEST products on your hair, I totally recommend her.

I’ve been going to sharon (owner) for 7 years. She is absolutely amazing! I always leave the salon feeling confident and beautiful. I highly recommend coming here, you wont be disappointed!

I’ve been going to Sharon for years and simply love what she does for my curly hair. She has true vision when cutting and coloring. I always walk away satisfied and looking/​feeling like a million bucks. Her shop is comfortable and modern. This is a place where Sharon truly shines.
