I have been going to Toni and Guy since they opened in Hoboken about a year ago and every single experience has been nothing short of fantastic.
Upscale, but completely non-pretentious, you are greeted by the nicest employees and offered a yummy cappuccino, coffee or water - while Metric, Muse and Grace Potter play through the speakers (this is NOT your stereotypical NJ Salon!!).
As far as the actual talent: I have very fine and very curly hair -- ie a complete nightmare if you don't know what to do with it. Not only does the staff give you an in depth consultation with you prior to each cut, but they have an eye for matching each style to your individual personality. I've had my hair cut by Christina and Rachel and both know EXACTLY what to do with my type of hair -- the cuts were PERFECT! Enzo gave me the best styling tip I've ever had (which I use every single day when doing my hair).
As for Color, Kelly is incredible. She is up on all the latest trends and knows exactly how to give you a great natural color, without going overboard. She instantly makes you feel comfortable in her chair, where at this point, I don't even give her direction anymore -- I trust her judgement completely.
Go go go!! You are going to love it!
