Hair Salons in Bloomfield

Like jewelry on display, Lush New York Salon’s sophisticated space is locked behind a glass storefront, teasing passersby with its pearl-hued styling chairs neatly arranged across an expanse of dark wooden floors. The Brooklyn salon, once named one of 20 Salons of the Year by Salon Today magazine, mirrors the elegance and sophistication of Manhattan, as its owner intended. Here, dedicated stylists, who continually brush up on their skills, treat tresses to chic cut and color services, including semipermanent hues, corrective coloring, and highlights. After finishing locks with a sleek blow-dry, the studio’s hair experts may refer clients to a resident makeup artist, who can reshape brows, affix faux lashes, and teach pets how to apply makeup for their owners.

Bernadette Peters once entrusted her legendary crimson coils to Bruno Grillo, giving her something in common with Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen, and Bret Easton Ellis besides their collective love of mud wrestling. Bruno, a hair-color specialist and FIT graduate who has worked alongside celebrated stylists Oscar Blandi and Oribe, attributes his talents to the close attention he pays to his clients' lifestyles.

Bruno has been featured on Sirius Radio's Martha Stewart Living and in the Brooklyn Paper, where columnist Lisa J. Curtis confessed to falling in love with him. To be fair, Curtis’s infatuation stemmed not only from Bruno himself but also from his team of aestheticians and massage therapists as well as the spa’s open kitchen, where complimentary cappuccinos are brewed. The salon's treatment menu includes facials, makeup artistry, waxing, and a range of massage modalities. In addition, Bruno and his staff invite brides—as well as unbetrothed guests—to pick and choose from this menu to enjoy customized days of beauty.

Studio 12’s old-timey façade with forest green trimming and floor-to-ceiling windows greets clients as they cross the cheery threshold into a brightly lit space with hardwood floors. Seasoned stylists gussy up men and women, drawing from a Homeric-sized salon menu that includes haircutting, coloring, and styling services alongside waxing services and makeup applications.

Elite Hair Studio & Spa's staffers travel to New York, LA, London, and Paris for frequent training, returning to the studio with newly acquired skills to better meet client needs during custom services. The stylists begin treatments with a complimentary consultation to determine the cut angles that will flatter cheekbones or what blend of hair color will accentuate complexion, eye color, or the necklace that can't be removed due to a curse. Through signature facials, the aestheticians evict blemishes, and nail techs pamper long-forgotten cuticles before overshadowing them with gleaming polish. Before treatments, the staff directs guests to recumbent leather chairs flanked by wood-framed mirrors and furnishes each visitor with cucumber-infused water.

At Elegant Image Salon, styling veteran Claudia Cruz and her staff sculpt hair for men, women, and children with a variety of haircare services. In addition to standard haircuts, they perform keratin treatments to make hair smoother and add hair extensions to add volume and offer clients a shortcut into the world of '80s hard-rock superstardom. Cruz sees that her staff stays apprised of the latest industry trends and techniques to maintain a standard of quality cuts.

Within Niche Hair Design, located in the former building of Hairem Hair Salon, 30-year styling veteran Clyde Hale—who boasts cross-country salon experience everywhere from Las Vegas to Chicago—works alongside a quintet of talented stylists. The team feverishly snips strands and enhances locks with multidimensional highlights or Great Lengths hair extensions. Meanwhile, in the privacy of a backroom, licensed electrologist Marilyn Griffith calls upon her 30 years of hair-zapping experience to gently eradicate stubble from limbs, faces, and pet porcupines.
