Giovanni Giuntoli

The business is run by Giovanni Giuntoli, a Bridal Hairstyle Specialist, from The Salon At Hoboken at 600 Harrison St. Work covers weddings, special events and other occasions, indoors or outdoors, and styling is offered for all hair colors, types and textures. Brides can book styling focused only on the bride, and for a wedding he can style two looks, one for the trial and one for the event day, when timing and location allow.

Every booking starts with a consultation to learn the client's hairstyling goals and personal style. Bookings are accepted up to 18 months ahead, and a date is not held until a contract is signed digitally and the deposit is paid by Zelle, Venmo, check or cash. The wedding deposit is 50% of the contracted services and is non-refundable, except when a booking is canceled within 7 days of placing it. The balance is due 90 days before the event. Headcount changes made more than 90 days out allow the cost of that person's services to be deducted from the balance; changes inside 90 days require the full balance. Extra services or party changes on the event day are priced a la carte.

For on-location work there is a minimum service charge, while in-salon services have no minimum. Travel fees are charged to the client and included in the booking fee. If a delay is the client's fault, overtime applies after the contracted end time. If an emergency keeps the stylist from attending an event, a skilled substitute is provided. Clients who want help after the ceremony can book a Day Package for touch-ups and photos, billed by the hour from the point the initial services finish.

Clients who prefer email can reach the studio that way, which is the fastest route; sending images and a phone number helps. Contact form messages receive a reply within 48 hours. Touch-up products, including travel sizes, are sold, along with styling tools such as brushes and teasing combs that the business says are used on celebrity and editorial styling. Hairstyle education workshops of 1 to 3 days are offered to professional stylists.

Starts each booking with a consultation and aims for a smooth lead-up to the event, with a personalized touch and a focus on speed and precision in each hairstyle.
