About

The salon describes itself as one of the first hair salons in Cranford. Penny Schmal-Andrews bought it in 1992 and has run it since. Over the years she has added waxing, a full retail line, night hours, senior discounts and six-day opening.

Children are welcome for haircuts, from buzz cuts and fades to pigtails and braids. The salon describes its staff as friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat, and says they specialize in fades, clipper cuts, color, highlights and updos.

Clients can book an appointment or come in without one. A haircut can be booked on its own or with a blow dry. Hair extensions are offered, and a free consultation is available for the Keratin Smoothing Complex. The salon is open six days a week, with later hours Wednesday through Friday and Sunday closed.

The owner sponsors an annual cut-a-thon that benefits Family Care/Project Home of Cranford, and donates gift certificates and baskets to local organizations, youth sports and school fundraisers throughout the year.

The salon aims to keep its prices reasonable and to give back to the Cranford community through fundraisers and donations.
