La Jolie Salon & Spa
Reviews
I have been going to La Jolie for many years . I have never been disappointed with the service that they provide. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. You will enjoy the experience!
Incompetence is bad on its own. Lack of professionalism is bad on its own. The two in conjunction are hard to find, but you can find both here....with a 200 dollar pricetag! La Jolie had a great reputation in Princeton when I last lived there a few years ago. I returned to Princeton to have engagement photos taken and made an appoint to have my hair and make-up done. All i wanted was a simple blow dry. I had my hair cut at my home salon in a different state that week, and had the stylist take pictures for me to bring to the salon. It was a simple blow dry, so the pictures were probably overkill....so i thought. The stylist managed to blow out my hair into some type of mullet-looking thing. I repeatedly asked her just to blow it dry, but she insisted she knew better. She asked what type of product i use. I don't use much because my hair is so straight that product makes it look weighed-down and greasy. She used about 10. My hair weighted about 20 lbs by the time I left and it didn't move. Unfortunately for me, the know-it-all stylist was also doing my make-up that day. We went upstairs to the make-up area, me almost in tears. For some reason i decided to stay. The make-up actually was ok. Just ok. My hair, however was still a hot mess. At the end of the make-up session i asked her again to fix my hair, and she said "I'll be right back," and went downstairs to the styling area and never returned. I purchased the lipstick she used during the make-up session. When i got home, i realized it was the wrong color. No only was in the wrong color, it was really really really wrong. She used a light gloss on me, and this was fire-engine red. I was already pressed for time, as i only had a short period to change for the photo session, and now do my hair myself by washing it in the sink and starting over. I returned to the salon before our photo session, as both were in town. I asked the ladies at the desk to exchange it, and they gave me sass. Oh, and this whole awful experience, a (terrible) blow dry and make-up, cost over $200. If you want a fake mullet, go here. If you like asking for a hair style and getting a fake mullet instead, go here. If you don't want either of these, stay away.
Went and saw Jennifer. Quality of her work was very good and she explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it. Apparently it is their policy to charge $25 if you need more dye. I do not recommend if you have long thick hair....such a scam!
Warm and welcoming. The best salon in Princeton.
Nicole gave me the full work-up... color, cut & eyebrows. She is a magician!I wanted s funky pixie cut and she surpasses my expectations. I live in NYC and will be making the trip to Princeton to see her every time I need a touch up! Nicole is fabulous. She came recommend to me and I'm recommending her to you!!!
