My experience at Lock and Shade is always fabulous! They were the salon I used for my wedding hair and make-up and they did not disappoint! Deanna did my hair and Jess did my make-up, and they made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. I had specific styling I wanted for my wedding day and they helped me achieve the exact look I wanted! Blaise was amazing to work with - incredibly responsive, attentive, and flexible. I highly recommend their services for weddings!

My go to for amazing cuts. Kristina is awesome with the razor cuts! I have very thick, multi textured hair and she always nails it when it comes to giving me a nice shape, texture and cut. I gladly drive the hour to come here. Staff are also all very nice, super trendy spot. Leave a little earlier for parking and paying the meter

Lock and Shade did a friend’s wedding, and after hearing of the wonderful experience they had, I knew i wanted them for my wedding! To begin, Blaise handles all communication- which was ALWAYS fast and well-prepared. Blaise welcomes you with a big hug and hypes you up for your special day!My trial was exactly like my pictures! Deanna even suggested pearl bobby pins, after I said I didn’t have any hair piece yet, which completed the look and my aesthetic.On the day of, Lock and Shade had a team of 2 (Deanna and Lindsey) help with my bridal party’s hair (5 girls including me). Blaise came up with a timeline, which was perfect. Deanna and Lindsey were AWESOME!!!! We got to get ready at the salon, which is beautiful and PERFECT for pictures. It was an amazing morning that I have such amazing memories from with my sisters and mamas. Each person’s vision for their hair was different and each looked EXACTLY like their inspiration pictures. Everyone was beyond elated. They helped touch up anyone who needed it before we left to ensure all the girls felt beautiful and confident! We even finished early and were AHEAD of schedule.If you need a team of professionals that are awesome and love what they do— book them!!!

Lock and shade was wonderful for my wedding day hair styling. They have a coordinator who helps you through the entire process making everything very manageable and easy. Molly styled my hair and was so kind as we worked through different styles. She absolutely nailed it day of, even directly matching my extensions to my red hair (a very difficult thing to do). So glad I trusted her and lock and shade for my wedding!

Chelsea is the best! She always does a great job whether it's a cut or color. I have naturally dark/black hair and she makes my blonde highlights blend in so naturally.Lock and Shade is such a beautiful space and at a great location. There's plenty of street parking - not hard to find a spot.I highly recommend and ask for Chelsea!!

Emily and Gina did an awesome job on our hair and makeup for my wedding! And Blaise was so great to work with leading up to and on the big day! We got ready in the salon and used the courtyard for our first look (seriously a beautiful backdrop for pictures). Everyone was very happy with how their looks turned out and Emily and Gina were so kind and easy to work with! Blaise was so attentive to helping us get ready and feel comfortable. He was was so easy to work with on the timeline and coordination leading up to. Thank you all for making our wedding party feel beautiful on our wedding day and for allowing us to have such a relaxing morning at the salon.Also shout out to Gina, who has been cutting my hair for the past year. She seriously gives the best hair cuts, she’s so thorough and really listens to what you want. And I’m pretty sure she’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.Services: Hairstyling

I was part of a bridal party that was styled by Lock and Shade. The stylists were professional and did a wonderful job on everyone but completely missed the mark on my hair. I asked for a faux hawk and provided a reference picture. The style/picture I chose I had used before for another wedding, so I knew it was possible for my hair. After she completed the first attempt, my immediate audible response was “no”. After discussion, she attempted it for a second time. She told me that it was hard with my hair (for reference I have long fine hair). Like I previously stated, I knew it was a style that would work because I had it done before.Unfortunately after being redone, it was still not good. At that point I was getting my hair done for over an hour and extremely unhappy, so I left and completely redid my hair on my own after paying $150 (with tip) to have my hair done. I understand I asked for something more intricate, but I also know it could have been done. My hair looked frizzy and unkempt…not at all what I asked for. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of my hair because I was so upset, just wanted it out/redone, and did not want to make a scene or ruin the brides time. I have emailed the salon but have not heard back.Service: Updo

An incredible, inclusive, sustainable salon!There’s talent and goodness everywhere you turn at Lock & Shade. From Bianca’s dedicated, professional ownership, to the fantastic Blaise welcoming you in, to the ARTISTS that make you look as glamorous on the outside as you should always feel - there isn’t enough praise I could give this slice of heaven in Asbury Park. It’s a safe place for all humans to unleash their inner beauty.My stylist in particular, Jess, is unbelievably talented and I couldn’t be happier to watch her thrive in this environment. Not only is she a brilliant colorist, she takes great care of your hair and her makeup skills are truly unmatched. I’ll be supporting her and singing Lock & Shade’s praises for a long, long time.Services: Hair coloring

I had a great experience at my last appointment. I think Lock and Shade is the best place in NJ to go for unique cuts and colors. They run like a well oiled machine in terms of customer service and the atmosphere is very welcoming and fun. Kristina was an absolute gem- very friendly and comforting, very professional, and a true artist. My cut was nicely blended and has grown out beautifully. I will certainly be making the hour trip back for my next chop!Service: Haircut

I've been to Lock & Shade quite a few times now and between the super friendly staff and the salon environment itself, I feel so comfortable and welcomed every time I walk through the door. I've been seeing Gina for years and I'm blown away after every single appointment. Gina does an amazing job reaching all of my hair goals and I always leave feeling so confident and beautiful. Even just looking around at the other artists work in the salon, you can just tell how talented each member of the Lock & Shade team is, and I always see how satisfied other customers are leaving the salon as well. I could not recommend Lock & Shade enough!Services: Hair coloring
