About

Drama Salon opened in 1993 under owner Steven Camins, a former celebrity hairstylist. Before opening the salon, he managed hair salons in Beverly Hills and New York City. The site describes him as a protégée of Vidal Sassoon. The salon has stayed in the same Lexington Downs Center space since it opened, and according to the salon, some stylists have been with it since the beginning.

Color is a major part of the menu. Services include single process color, partial-head and face-framing highlights, half-head and full-head highlights, balayage, ombre, vivid and high-fashion color, and color correction. Cuts are offered for men and women, and the women's cut includes a shampoo and blowout. Blowout options range from a basic blowout to a fancy style that uses a flat or curling iron. For special occasions there are evening updos, bridal styling, and a two-hour bridal trial run. Keratin smoothing treatments are also offered, along with customized extensions and hair thickening services, which are priced after a consultation. Makeup and waxing are available by request.

Clients can book a free, no-obligation consultation by appointment. Before any service, the salon gives an estimated price. Pricing depends on the stylist's seniority level, the client's hair length, thickness and texture, so the starting prices listed are a guide. Clients can ask for a specific stylist who specializes in the service they want, and can mention a hair challenge such as curly, fine or frizzy hair when booking so they can be matched with a suitable stylist.

The salon asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. No-show appointments are charged 50% of the appointment cost. Clients who arrive more than 15 minutes late are asked to call so the salon can try to keep the appointment. Gift certificates can be bought in person or by phone. Coffee and free Wi-Fi are offered in the salon.

The salon describes itself as voted the best salon in Central NJ, as award-winning, and as a top salon in Central NJ for more than 25 years; these are its own claims. It says it supports a wide range of New Jersey charities and organizations, and it runs a free training program for assistants covering cutting, color, color theory, application and formulation.

The salon describes its staff as experienced colorists and stylists, many trained both inside and outside the salon. It states that its highest priority is the safety and wellbeing of clients and staff.
