About

The salon has been on Main Street in downtown Clifton since 2005 and describes its mission as showing deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual. It specializes in all hair textures and styles, and natural hair care is a particular strength, including silk presses and relaxers.

Before a service, staff sit down with clients to talk and learn about their hair. The salon uses organic products and says it incorporates herbs into every service.

The menu is broad. Hair work covers single and double process color, highlights, balayage, ombre, and glaze, along with color correction, several extension methods such as tracks, sew-ins, lace fronts, quick weaves, Microlinks, and unit wigs, and keratin or smoothing treatments. Natural hair options include twist outs, flat twists, cornrows, dreadlocks, bantu knots, and silk wraps. Kids and men's services, including fades, line-ups, and beard trims, are offered as well. Beyond hair, there are manicures and pedicures in regular and gel versions, facials and spa treatments such as microdermabrasion and cavitation RF, eyelash extensions and lifts, brow shaping, lamination, and repopulation, and natural, special event, and bridal makeup.

Walk-ins are welcome, and clients can book online through a Square booking page. The salon is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM to 7:00PM and on Sunday from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. Clients who arrive 15 or more minutes late are charged a late fee of $35 or more. A travel fee applies only to weddings and events. Box braids for kids are not offered on Fridays or Saturdays.

The salon says it was picked four years in a row as one of El Especialito's best 100 salons, and that Natural Wellness Magazine voted it Best of the County in 2015. It also describes itself as a common choice for beauty queens, brides, and executives, and says its certified specialists aim for the highest level of service available.

Staff talk with each client about their hair before services begin, with a focus on individuality and organic products.
