I'm honestly so surprised to read negative reviews for Mania's. I've never had anything less than a stellar experience with Jessica N., who has been cutting and styling my hair for the past three years. The salon itself is gorgeous, and they use all Bumble & Bumble products, which I'm a huge fan of. The stylists explain to you exactly which products they're using, and giving you a sheet with all of the information on what they used, if you want to buy the same products to use at home. Every staff member is incredibly professional, from the front desk to the stylists, and I've never seen anyone look anything less than impeccably presented. My very first visit to the salon, after returning to NJ after living in Pennsylvania for four years, I was greeted by the owner, and was given a gift bag to thank me for being a new customer (with samples of Bumble products). The prices are phenomenal for what you get - $56 for a haircut with a mentor level stylist is incredible. With tip, you're still walking out for under $100, which is a steal in this area, especially for the quality of services and how fantastic your blow dry will look (and hold up!). I've never been disappointed with Jessica, and find her extremely personable and talented. When I say I only want my ends trimmed and a little length taken off, she listens and makes sure I'm comfortable with what she plans to cut before going for it - so again, I'm surprised by people who say that the staff doesn't take client feedback and does what they want. I've never had that experience there. Don't try to park on the street, there's a lot in the back, and a back entrance. You can book your appointments online (sign up for their emails!) and you'll get emails back to confirm your appointment, or have you set up something else. It's incredibly convenient (and they don't make you feel like a total pain in the ass when you go back and forth for five emails trying to schedule something). Read Less
