About

The salon says it has been operating for over 33 years. Its founder, Idalia, opened her first salon right after graduating from beauty school at age 20, and has since opened and run salons and spas in New Jersey and the Dominican Republic. She also worked as an educator for Alter Ego, training licensed cosmetologists and salons on cutting techniques and treatments. Idalia travels between New Jersey and Tampa, Florida, where a second location, La Fama Salon Tampa, is listed and two more are reportedly planned.

The salon's stated mission is to help each client express their own style while keeping up with current trends and best practices. It states that it keeps a high standard of cleanliness. New clients are asked to book a consultation before color, transformation cut or curly cut services, and color corrections, major changes and extensions also need an in-person consultation before scheduling. Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed, and staff availability can be checked on the Booksy booking page.

The salon says it is known for doobies, natural hair blowouts, silk presses and hair color. Its silk press is a chemical-free straightening done with a flatiron, priced from $200 and rising to $450 or more depending on hair length and thickness. Prices for most cuts, color and treatments do not include a blow-dry, which is booked separately.

Beyond hair, the menu covers acrylic, gel, dipping powder and freestyle nail sets, manicures and pedicures for women and men, body, facial and bikini waxing, brow and lash services, a 90-minute Empress Lymphatic Hydrafacial at $125, and a 60-minute classic relaxation massage at $75. Clients are asked to give 24 hours' notice to cancel. Late cancellations are charged $25 to $50 for the booked service time, and no-shows are charged 50 percent of the services booked. Deposits are required for certain services. Accepted payments are cash and major credit cards, and gratuity is not included in listed fees.

The salon aims to help each client express their individual style while keeping up with current trends and best practices.
