Choosing hair salons in Montclair, NJ

For a hair salon, consistency matters more than a single great visit. Look for reviews over several months that name the same stylist or technician, mention hygiene and timekeeping, and describe how the business handled a result the customer did not like.

Worth checking before you call

  • State cosmetology or specialty license displayed or verifiable.
  • Clear prices or a consultation before work begins.
  • Cleanliness mentioned in reviews, not just results.
  • How corrections and refunds were handled when something went wrong.
  • Photos in reviews that match the service you want.

Questions people ask

How are hair salons in Montclair, NJ ranked here?
By the same Bayesian score shown on each profile: every business starts at 3.5, a review's weight halves every 90 days, verified customers count fully and unverified reviews at 60 percent, and reviews from the business's own staff are excluded. A business needs 3 counted reviews to hold a position; until then it is listed without one. Nothing a business pays for enters the calculation.
Why do some hair salons here have no score yet?
Because fewer than 3 customers have reviewed them on RooVello. The directory lists businesses from public map data with their websites so the first review has somewhere to land; a profile earns a score as reviews arrive.
Are verified reviews better for choosing a hair salon?
They confirm the writer was a customer, which rules out competitors and friends. Read them alongside unverified reviews; the verified-only score shows you the difference.
Why does a hair salon with great reviews have an Average score?
Probably because the reviews are old. A review's weight halves every 90 days, so praise from two years ago barely moves the number. Recent reviews are what the score reflects.
