Jen has been my hairdresser for the last 15 years and I would follow her anywhere! I was so happy when she opened her own salon. I always leave the salon feeling great....there's something so wonderful when you feel good about how you look - especially your hair! I've had other services at the salon as well and I've always been thrilled! Salon Riza and Jen Stern come highly recommended by me!!

Beautiful salon, stylists, and atmosphere. Franka is an amazing stylist whose innovation and insight help clients to reinvent themselves confidently. Great business with reasonable prices. Blow dry bar is awesome and unique to salon riza. Would definitely recommend as I have made my fair share of return visits ;).

Salon Riza is modern, clean, and I am treated greeted warmly and cheerfully at the door! Everyone is friendly and I was offered a water right away. I came to know stylist Jenny Candela through a personal recommendation. My hair is thin and I'm over 50 so I do have challenges. I felt comfortable telling her about my concerns regarding my thinning hair and she recommended salon grade products that have been helpful in shaping my hair and allowing me to style it with ease. She has also shared tips with me that I've started using every day and I feel confident that my hair looks its best. I can achieve a salon look at home between visits. After all there is no point looking good for just one day. My hair is chic and full looking when I leave the salon. She runs on time, is always in a good mood, and concentrates on me when I am in her chair. She is organized and her tools are clean. She can do a dry cut, which is a preference of mine. She has saved me from color disasters (especially going too light at my age). She seems to be able to identify a problem and recommend an appropriate fix immediately. One time I went in I thought my hair was "dry". She said your hair is looking washed out...and gave be a color boost (darker but not dark) and an extra conditioning treatment. I've always been happy walking out of a session with Jenny. We collaborate to try a little something new during each appointment. It's never anything drastic but just enough to give me a new look until the next time we meet. If it's something I like I can keep it. If not..I'm open to new suggestions next time. I personally don't want to be that woman who wears the same hairstyle for 20 years! Also Tried a facial with Cathy Candela!!!I The Salon is conveniently located on Route 125. The spa rooms are spacious and comfortably quiet with relaxing music. If you get a chance to use the bathroom the faucet is so amazing! I've never seen one like it. My initial consultation with the esthetician, Cathy, was thorough and efficient. I selected the "Riza" Facial. The facial Is a 90 minute piece of heaven. The products she used were incredible! These products, I can say without reservation, were the very best that have ever been used on my skin. Cathy was impeccably dressed, very friendly, caring, experienced and knowledgable. Her massage is extraordinary! She works at a good pace so she accomplished lot in the time I spent with her. I feel like I know more about my skin care needs because of her useful suggestions about products and upkeep practices. Although I didn't see her while I was laying down, I could tell she was sanitizing and cleaning throughout the facial. The room was immaculate. I'm not a fan of painful extractions, and she was gentle with me and encouraged me to let her know if she is causing pain. I like that she explained what she was doing to me step by step. She was very responsive to any questions I may have had and picked up easily that I was not in the mood to be chatty and followed my lead. Her recommendations seem to have come from a place of genuine interest and a desire to be helpful and I didn't feel she was "pushing" products on me. Salon Riza is a beautiful salon with all new equipment. I will continue to schedule facials with Cathy and I encourage others reading this review to take the plunge!

Jen is doing my hair now for a while! I love her! She is doing my hair awesome: cutting and coloring! Because she just opened her own salon with a lot of new offers I decided to try a facial. I booked my appointment and when it was everything started in time. Because I never had a facial before I was very happy that a really nice girl was doing it. She explained everything to me. She told me about the process and the products as well. The whole treatment was very relaxing and just awesome. Through the treatment I got to know a product called "decléor". I think I have heard about it before but I never really gave attention to it. But it is fantastic my face felt so soft after the facial. Oh, and by the way the salon just looks awesome: high-end, very European. There is also very positive atmosphere with all the nice girls.

I've been one of Jen's clients for over 7 years and I absolutely love her new salon! So glad she finally got the chance to make her dream come true! If you're looking for a high-end, manhattan style salon with a great atmosphere then this is the salon for you! Jen along with the rest of the staff do everything in there power to make sure you have a wonderful experience.
