About

The studio is in a house more than 200 years old in Little Silver, and it is described as a charming, spacious old home where clients can unwind. It is a small, family-run business now led by the fourth generation of stylists in the family. The family opened a studio in the United States in the early 1970s and later opened a salon in Norway during the 1990s.

The hair menu covers cuts and styling for men, women and kids, along with color services that range from demi gloss and glaze color balance to lowlights, balayage, baby lights, foil work, ombre and the studio's G-LIGHT technique. Blowouts are priced by hair length and level, and re-texturizing options include keratin blowouts, Brazilian Blowout, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, wave curls and perms. Olaplex can be added to lightener or color, or booked as a stand-alone treatment.

On the skin side, the studio offers Esthederm facials and body spa treatments in seasonal, rebalancing and youthful-focused groupings. Waxing is done with Cirepil wax from France, which the studio says reduces pain and inflammation. The studio also retails Institut Esthederm skin care and hair care products.

Pricing is listed as starting points. Women's junior level cuts start at $35 and senior level at $65, while director level starts at $75. Men's cuts start at $25 for junior level, $50 for senior and $55 for director. Updos and formal styling and corrective color are priced upon consultation. The studio describes its philosophy as treating beauty as an art form, with looks customized to the smallest detail. It calls itself a high-class hair salon and one of the finest names in skin care; those are the studio's own claims. Stylists have trained at schools in the UK and the US. Clients book by calling 732-842-5733 or by emailing the studio.
