Tru-ly Happy! Vibrant color that stays, haircuts that flatter, staff/family that are warm and friendly. Since 2018, I've been traveling 135 miles (round trip) from Northern NJ for my phenomenal monthly hair care. From my hair smoothing service, Cezanne, to monthly color touch ups and highlights and of course excellent hair cutting and styling by Brian, the owner! Lastly, I maintain with excellent NY salon style original TRU Products! ~ I enjoy everything (and everyone!) about my Tru experience. ~

Brian gave me a great haircut and showed me exactly how to style my hair, how to use the products to do so, and suggested further plans for other styles I want to try. Service was fantastic! Love to support a local family run business.

I just want to say that I have been to many salons in this area that just weren't as good as Tru. They were super accommodating with the type of hair that I have (long and thick hair), and very welcoming! I went to see Brian for a haircut and he talked me through the process of how I should be styling my hair. No one has ever taken the time to show me how to complete my look at home before which I thought was great. My hair has NEVER LOOKED BETTER! I bought and tried a few of their products as well, and they were all amazing. I will happily be back soon. Thank you Brian!
