Experience the B

Experience the B operates as a hair salon in a suite on US 22 East in North Plainfield, and has been run under the name Experience the B Hair Collection for over 8 years. The salon describes itself as a business built on quality, positivity and strong skills in beauty service.

The salon puts hair health first and adds styling afterward. Natural hair is its main focus. Services are grouped under Styling and The Color Experience, and cover hair color, extension installation foundations and precision haircuts.

Clients who are unsure what to book are asked to contact the salon before booking. Appointments take a non-refundable reservation fee or deposit that counts toward the total cost, and a $3.50 processing fee is charged on the deposit but not added to the final cost. Cancellations and reschedules are accepted up to 24 hours ahead; a timely cancellation fee can be used to rebook one appointment within the same calendar month, while cancelling within 24 hours forfeits it. Clients arriving more than 10 minutes late may have the appointment cancelled, and extra guests are not allowed because space is limited. Business hours are 10am to 7pm, and gift cards are offered.

Retail includes The Hold Gel, The Strong Hold Gel, The Spray and The Oil, along with B! extension lines (clip-ins, curly, straight, wavy and blonde), closures and frontals. The site's FAQ suggests bundle counts by hair length and recommends sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and avoiding heavy oils to help extensions last.

Hair health comes first, with styling added afterward, and the salon centers natural hair.
