Review of Suede Salon Spa and Boutique

I have been having my hair cut and colored at Sued...

I have been having my hair cut and colored at Suede for 2 years, at this point. It's been such a positive experience, overall, that I feel it's necessary to sing their praises online. There is a positive energy and a commitment to creative excellence unlike anything I've found in South Jersey since moving to the area in 2006. For color, I recommend with GREAT ENTHUSIASM: Dina Rae Patane. For a fabulous cut and wonderful experience getting the cut, you will have the best experience with Michael Sparks or Sal Patane. They are both wildly professional and highly skilled. Another stylist I've not had cut my hair that I would love to try - the people who get up from her chair look stunning - is Susan...so creative and talented. Frankly, there might just be more talented under the roof of Suede than all salons in this area combined. Ha! Yes, they are that good, and it is that high quality of an experience - comfortable excellence is the best way I could describe. It is 'boisterous' so if you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere, you will not find it at Suede. They do have a small spa area with rooms for massage/facial/wax, though the pedicure area is attached and tends to be noisy. Their spa services seem to be sufficient but by far, hair cut/color is what they do best.
