Salon Pavel

Salon Pavel is based in Tenafly, and the salon says it is a leader in beauty services across northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. Many of its clients travel in from Manhattan, Long Island, Upstate New York, Connecticut and Philadelphia.

The salon says its stylists keep learning as new products, techniques and trends appear, and some have taken classes abroad to build their skills. Stylists are trained and certified by Great Lengths, Socap, Ultratress, Cinderella Hair, Microlinks and Tress Allure.

Consultations are free. Appointments can be booked online or by calling (201) 568-5858, and walk-ins are welcome, though reservations are recommended. The salon is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Free parking is available around town, subject to time limits.

The blow dry bar offers an express blow dry and a full service blowout, which includes a shampoo and blow dry with optional flat iron or curling iron styling. The blowout style is matched to hair type, with smoother looks suggested for thick hair and more volume for thin hair. Results can last from about two to three days up to close to a week, depending on hair texture, density, humidity and at-home care.

Hair extensions are a major part of the menu. Clip-on extensions come in a full line, and professionally applied extensions are available in lengths up to 27 inches, with color and texture matching for brunette, blonde and red hair. Pricing depends on how much hair the client wants, and a one-on-one consultation with a stylist is required before booking. The salon describes its extension prices as affordable and says its extensions can lengthen hair by up to 300 percent. Results typically last about two to six months, and monthly touch-ups are recommended to keep a full look. Appointments range from about 30 minutes to 6 to 8 hours, and a private VIP room is available for extension visits.

The salon describes its approach as education based, with ongoing training for its stylists.
