Ariella Mendez

I’m ultra passionate about creating the hair that you never imagined possible while teaching you how to effortlessly style it for everyday wear. I’ve spent the last decade of my career mastering Classic French Balayage because this is the technique to create natural, sun kissed highlights for a seamless grow out. My other area of expertise lies within Custom Extensions. The method I use to apply Hand Tied Hair allows you to keep your scalp healthy & requires minimal daily work to make you look incredible & build confidence. My vision is to create “brush and go hair”, for the busy city woman or the occupied mom, who doesn’t have time daily to spend styling hair. Having a demanding job and being a mom of 3 myself, I know how valuable time is & my method allows you to spend less time on your hair daily while looking better than ever before.

During our visit together, we will discuss hair and scalp health & check in on at home maintenance. I take huge pride in confidently saying my clients will always leave with healthier hair then they walked in with & I'm always available to address your concerns.

I’m a huge advocate for clean, healthy holistic living. When you’re in the salon, I love great conversation about restaurants, recipes, workout routines, vacation spots, & anything beauty related. When I’m not working you can often find me walking my dog around local parks or cheering on the sidelines for my kid’s sports, or kick boxing in my favorite local gym. I truly love this city and all the unique aspects it has to offer as well as my love for travel to warm climates. I created the salon to feel like summer vibes year round to escape the city and unwind.

I couldn’t be happier working and living in Hoboken because it allows me to connect with the community that I’m so grateful for on a daily basis. Nothing warms my heart more then changing the lives of women through hair and then watching clients grow to build friendships with one another in our salon. Great hair connects great people together all the time. I’m all about building a long lasting relationship with you and watching you evolve into your best self.
