So there are two listings for the same salon. I will be duplicating this review for the other listing since there are two.
This listing and reviews are what brought me to Waves.
I needed a haircut badly. My hair had many dead ends and was frizzing and tangling easily.
After seeing whose name came up the most I went to Noreen for my cut and style.
Booking the appointment was so easy. I made the appointment online which was great for me. It was also a day they were closed so I didn’t have to worry about waiting for them to open and forgetting to call. I can always book it whenever. And the text/email reminders were so helpful.
I was worried about parking but that turned out to be a nonissue. The area of Cranford is very nice but isn’t as busy as the downtown area. It is street parking. But not metered. And I found a spot right out front in the shade! It is currently an excessive heat watch so shade is helpful. And I mean it was right out front and it was an end spot so I didn’t even have to parallel park.
I got there a little early. Checked in and everyone was very nice. They made sure I didn’t park in the back lot which is for residents. So helpful.
I met Noreen and she was so very nice.
I got my hair washed by Fiona and she was also very nice. Easy to chat with. The chair and sink were very comfortable. Sometimes the sinks hurt my neck but this was not an issue. It was very relaxing.
Then Noreen and I talked about what I wanted done with my hair. She made extra sure that I was comfortable with the length of my hair and my new curtain bangs and face frame. Did exactly what I wanted and did it amazingly!
Sometimes stylists want to “thin” out my thick hair or give me layers but I prefer not to get that done. Noreen did not do this which I appreciated. She really was attentive. Again she also was so easy to talk to. So friendly.
She knew I was going out that night and styled my hair wonderfully. Even told me how to freshen it up later and how to recreate the look on my own.
I was curious about the MagicShield keratin treatment and she told me everything about it! Not only the price but how long it would take, four hours, which is important information! Informed on everything. It was very helpful.
Finally I’ll just comment on the salon itself. It’s pretty large but not crowded which is nice. Plenty of space between stylists so you’re not crammed in. It looks very sleek. Plenty of light. A nice sitting area. I really do love how open it was. It was also clean and updated. Lots of natural light as well.
There was no surprise charges and they even had Apple Pay available. The receptionist knew who washed my hair and everything I had done. I was able to leave a tip in an envelope with her so I didn’t have to find or interrupt anyone.
So to sum it up I will be going back and I do highly suggest this salon.
Requested style: I wanted a significant amount of hairs cut and a curtain bang that flowed into a face frame.
Hair type: Very long hair to a tad longer than shoulder length. Very thick and takes longer to cut and is harder to cut well. Noreen cut it amazingly well.
Stylist: Noreen was amazing and so very nice. Was able to handle my thick hair.

It's been a long time since I had my hair cut. I used to go here when it was located in Linden and then Rahway. I was happy to see that it was run by Noreen and was still the same great place. A medical condition made it impossible for me to speak, so my mom came with me and they were so kind and patient with me and Dana did a great job on my hair! I'll be returning for a trim!

I recently moved to Westfield NJ and was looking for a good hair salon. Seeing some recommendations on FB I went to this salon, for highlights. I have dark thick hair and it’s always difficult to get the right color highlights, but Noreen was excellent. Very professional and efficient, I love my highlights and hair feels so good.

My fiance Roe needed a wash and blow dry and not knowing salons in Clark, decided to google salons. The first one on the list put me on hold for a good while so I hung up and went with the next one on the list which was "From Head to Toe". They got Roe in right away and the experience was phenomenal from the service. The care and the atmosphere. Kudos to them. I would recommend them to all our friends...
