About

The Pin Up Girl Beauty Studio opened in Howell, NJ in July 2023. Owner and operator Allison Tegano had already run a freelance bridal business under the Pin Up Girl name for roughly ten years before the studio opened, and the studio grew out of that work. The salon says its team has won the WeddingWire Couple's Choice Award more than once and describes itself as one of the sought-after beauty teams on the Jersey Shore; these are the salon's own claims.

Skin treatments are built around the connection between mind, body and skin, and use botanically based ingredients. The menu includes a holistic acne program offered without medications, with counseling and customized treatments. Other skin services are ProCell skin revision, a micro-channeling treatment that the salon presents as its premier skin option with no blood and no downtime; Korean liquid microneedling, which uses hydrolyzed freshwater sea sponge spicules for active acne, lines, wrinkles, scarring and skin tone and texture; oxygen skin treatment using pure anionic oxygen in a dome, suited to all skin types; chemical peels, including a line of flower acid peels and advanced peels; and dermaplaning, a manual exfoliation with a medical-grade scalpel. Facials can be combined with added modalities such as LED therapy, high frequency, radio frequency, micro-current and micro-dermabrasion.

Hair services cover cuts (trims, layers, shags, bangs, bobs and blunt cuts), color (grey coverage, highlights, lowlights, glosses and glazes), custom wefts and clip-in extensions, blowouts and heat styling, and hair add-ons such as scalp or hair treatments, masks and texture services for frizz and curl. Extensions require a consultation first. Brow services include shaping, tinting and brow lamination, and lash services include extensions and lash lifts with tinting.

Bridal services are on-location, covering the wedding day with hair styling, airbrush makeup and extensions. Bridal and trial hair includes any style, with no up-charge for extensions or materials used for volume, and updos are priced the same as a bridesmaid service. Bridal makeup includes false lashes in any style. Trial appointments that run longer than two hours require booking another trial. A travel fee of $60 per artist applies, calculated by Google Maps from the studio in central New Jersey.

The salon describes its prices as comparable to other artists and open to discussing a special budget. Gratuity is not included in listed prices; the FAQ says tipping is appreciated but never expected. Deposits can be paid by check, with remaining balances due in cash on the wedding day, and payment for any part of a bridal party's services can be made in advance or on the day. Cards, Venmo and PayPal are not accepted. Online booking is available through Fresha.

Skin treatments take a holistic approach that considers mind, body and skin together, and rely on botanically based ingredients.
