About

Viva Hair Lounge is a boutique salon in Union, New Jersey, and it serves clients from Union, Cranford, Westfield, Kenilworth, Scotch Plains, Elizabeth, Linden, Roselle and Clark. The salon describes itself as Union's premier hair salon. Walk-ins are accepted when possible, and booking ahead secures a preferred stylist and time.

Color is the center of the menu. The salon offers full and partial balayage, ombre, highlights, lowlights, full color, glazes and glosses, root touch-ups with shadow root technique, and halo root color for gray around the hairline. Color correction covers removing box dye and dark dyes, with three color removal services that each start at the same price. Bond builders can be mixed into color services as an add-on.

Tape-in extensions come in 14, 18 and 22 inch lengths, and prices are listed for 18 inch. Application usually takes one to two hours, and the stylists color match the extensions and can blend them into up-dos and blowouts. Extensions last about six to eight weeks before they need professional removal and reapplication. Most clients need two to three packs for full coverage, and the right amount is assessed at the consultation.

For straightening, the salon offers Keratin Plus, Keratin Sage and Hair Botox. Sessions take about two to three hours at the Union location. The treatments are meant to smooth frizz while keeping natural movement, and results typically last three to five months. Clients are asked to wait 72 hours before washing and to avoid ponytails and clips during that time, and sulfate-free shampoo is recommended to help results last.

Timing is helpful to know when booking. Full highlights take two to three hours, partial highlights or touch-ups about 1.5 to 2 hours, color correction two to four hours, and a complete haircut and style usually 60 to 90 minutes. Haircut trims every six to eight weeks and root touch-ups every four to six weeks, or eight to ten weeks with shadow roots, are the salon's recommended schedules. For weddings, bridal trials are recommended four to six weeks before the date, and a bridal makeup trial is offered for $65.

Each visit begins with a consultation to learn the client's goals and lifestyle, and the team combines modern techniques, education and personalized service.

A boutique-style space with a modern, clean look.
