The Hairstylist I used a few times seems to disappear without a word. I needed a haircut and color like yesterday. You know how that feels, but was hesitant to go somewhere new. The good thing about the internet is that you can always find reviews about a place. I read all the reviews before going to First Impression. So I decided to give them a try. I went to George the owner. He took me over to his station and asked me what I needed done. After the long consultation he did exactly as I asked for. I can tell you that George is a fantastic hairstylist and colorist. He has a great personality and really cares about his work. You can tell he is passionate about making you look good. My hair is so much easier to style now and I just love the way it looks and feel. So, if you need an awesome Hairstylist go to First Impression Studio and ask for George. You will not regret it,

George and Siv are true professionals and after 6 years of searching for the perfect salon after migrating to NJ from NY, I am elated. My haircut fits my face and my lifestyle and the color and highlights make my hair look like I am 20 years old again (I am 47). I can't wait to try the skin products and look as young as Siv does. If you are tired of the way most places that call themselves salons do business, (promise the world and give you an 80's style cut with color that turns your hair to brillo so they need to up-sell you on a million products that don't work) then see George and Siv and leave the stress behind. I know that I can consistently look my very best and I just don't have to worry anymore.

The salon provides a relaxing atmosphere by offering their clients a gown and beverage upon arrival. They are very friendly and knowledgeable about different products that are suitable for your hair and skin type. I recommend booking George for your haircuts, especially if this is your first time here. He has a ton of experience under his belt and knows what type of style looks best .you would also have the OPTION of having them add some kind of serum that makes your hair feel like silk (but it's totally worth it). Yes the appointments usually take about 3 hours for a cut and color, but this is not chop shop it is a salon, and if you would rather get a rush job and compromise quality, this place is definitely not for you!

The quality of service, the attention to detail, the emphasis on client satisfaction - Just a few reasons why after switching around to various salons in Monmouth county, this is the best salon I've encountered. Siv is a true professional. You can tell - she takes the time to listen to clients and won't try
to convince you into doing something your uncomfortable with.

I have been a client of George at First Impression Studio for little over a year now. I fell into his lap after my last stylist over booked and had to cancel an appointment on me, and I have been Georges ever since! He listens more than any stylist I’ve worked with and won’t let me leave until I’m 110% satisfied. He makes me feel beautiful and has become a true friend that I look forward to seeing at the salon. We takes time to talk through all the changes I want or think I want to make, and I’m not afraid to take risks with something new with him. I understand that hair is a tricky thing and achieving a certain look is not always possible, but George works so much harder toward perfection than any other stylist I’ve met. That’s important--I know that he is working hard to get me exactly what I want and it’s always perfect! I honestly don’t have enough good things to say about him. Thanks Kim

I tried this salon a while back after reading all the great reviews which were right on the money. My hair has not looked this good in years. He updated my haircut which I love .The color and highlights was the look I have always wanted but never got it from anyone else. My stylist George was the owner and what an experience just amazing! He knew exactly what I wanted and took such care even took the time to show me how to style my hair myself at home. I just could not be happier. I have been stop so many times in just a few day asking who did my hair! I'm so glad I found this salon. I will be back for sure! Thanks

George at First Impression Studio is everything I ever wanted in a hair stylist. He's extremely talented and works with me to find something that I may not have thought of on my own but am always super happy with. He also has a great personality and remembers even the littlest details on the last cut at our last appointment. Fun attitude and modern decor that makes stepping into their place fun and relaxing. Oh, and I love the tea/coffee bar for while I'm waiting (though I'm not usually waiting long enough to take full advantage). Suffice it to say, I love this place and both George and Siv, and have never even considered looking elsewhere, even when I moved out of town. They’re both totally worth the trek.
