About

Shear Expression has been operating since 1992 on Moran Street in Newton, New Jersey, offering hair and nail services under one roof. The salon says its mission is a friendly, professional experience in a relaxed environment, and that its goal is to exceed clients' expectations. It also states it aims to offer quality services at affordable prices.

On the hair side, cuts range from trendy and precision styles to razor cuts, with texture styling and smoothing treatments. Color work covers highlights, lowlights, grey coverage, grey blending and balayage, and the salon uses INOA ammonia-free color. Updo styles are offered for special occasions, and a bridal updo is listed among its services. Color correction is priced after a consultation, and the consultation itself is complimentary.

Nail services include gel enhancements, gel manicures and other manicure options, along with several pedicure levels and paraffin treatments. Facial waxing is also offered, from small areas such as the upper lip and eyebrows up to a full face.

Visits are easiest when planned ahead. First-time visitors should tell the receptionist so extra time can be set aside for a consultation. Coffee and tea are available, and water is kept in the refrigerator. The salon does not take calls while with another guest, so clients can leave a message or send a text. Last-minute appointments may be open, and clients can call or stop in. The salon is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it is closed Sunday and Monday. A credit card must be kept on file for chemical services. Missed appointments or cancellations made without 24 hours' notice are charged for the booked service, except in cases of sickness or emergency, and clients who are not feeling well are asked to reschedule.

Built around a friendly, professional team and a relaxed setting, with the stated goal of exceeding client expectations while keeping prices affordable.
