Hands down, Toni and Guy is the best hair salon in Hoboken. This is a long review, but I feel worth the read. Please note, I am not affiliated with anyone at Toni and Guy.\r

I came to Toni and Guy feeling like I was in a hair rut. I wanted a life changing hair cut and that’s what I got. Keep in mind, I entered Toni and Guy telling them how I felt and what I wanted. I complained that I was tired of passing salon after salon in Hoboken full of glamorous looking people (stylists), but not seeing many glamorous looking cuts leaving those salons. I didn’t understand this. \r

Okay let me get to what Toni and Guy did that was so great:\r

Time and Attention\r
The very talented stylist-Whitney, really took her time to understand exactly what I wanted in a hair cut. She sat me down and gave me a book full of styles. She asked me to put post-it notes on all the styles I liked. After doing this she discussed the pros and cons of each cut for my hair, if I had enough hair for the cut and how much work on my part it would take to maintain the style. I really appreciated that she did this. I can’t remember the last time a hair salon actually gave me a book of styles to go through. In all honesty I felt like my last salon was taking me for granted.\r
\r
I decided on a style and Whitney took the utmost time and care cutting my hair. No, she did not have two other clients waiting for her while she sped through my cut, a scenario that exists at most salons. In total my cut and style took about an hour and a forty minutes. I have no problem with this because the style was AMAZING!!!\r
Finally, someone cut my hair the way I wanted it cut!! For years stylists have said to me, “You can’t put those kinds of layers in your hair because your hair is too texturized and thick…” Well, I was staring at the hair-cut I have always wanted, a style that has eluded me for years. Why hadn’t any of my other stylists ever cut my hair the way I wanted it cut??? Did they just not know how to handle my hair texture? Did they not want to take the time it might take to achieve the hairstyle I wanted because most hair salons in Hoboken just want people moving in and out of the chairs? I don’t know, but Toni and Guy finally gave me what I wanted, one of the best hair cuts of my life.\r
