We at Elite Hair Studio are always researching the best products for our professional services and for at-home-care. One line of products we have been featuring with great results for some time now is the Environ brand. Environ for the past 20 years has been devoted to delivering innovative, high-quality products that contain important vitamins and essential antioxidants. Environ provides in-depth, hands-on training for us to enhance our skills as skin care professionals and enables us to offer you the Environ brand advice. Due to the unique nature of the Environ products, they require face to face consultation with a trained Environ professional. Environ products are generally only available through physicians and medically affiliated spas - like Elite Hair Studio and Spa. They are never sold on the internet, in retail stores or through catalogues. Environ products, like the AVST line, the B-active series or intensive series are proven to be effective remedies for: Une...

Today we are celebrating our 10-year anniversary since we first opened the door at Elite Hair Studio and Spa. We would like to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support. I would also like to thank all my employees (current and past) who constantly cater and care for all our customers and who are the heart and soul of the business. With all the ups and downs, the last 10 years have been an exciting and challenging journey. We are very thrilled and honored to be in business for this long. Also going forward we will continue striving for uncompromised standards in hair and beauty services and outstanding customer care. Thank you again for your loyalty and support. Kindest Regards, Marta Mehlmann PS: Here are some pictures from a little surprise anniversary-party all the girls at Elite Hair Studio arranged last Saturday. Thank you guys so much for surprising me like this.

After enjoying all this time at the beach, in the water or simply walking under the blazing sun it is time to give your hair a break and control the damage that has occurred over the summer months. The fix comes in the form of moisture and protein re-conditioners. Protein is important because it will seal off any cracks the hair suffered during the hot days of summer. Once the cracks and holes are closed the hair is able to hold the moisture which will then be able to re-vitalize the hair. To find out how much protein your hair needs just ask one of our stylists on your next visit. We would help you pick the right treatment and conditioner that supports fine, coarse and even thick and luxurious hair. Erasing those summertime damages will make your hair shiny, healthy and ready for those gorgeous new fall-time colors!

What is the easiest way to hide frizz and fly-aways? Braids… perfect for hot days, as they are one of the hottest trends of the season! Braids can add volume to fine hair and tame thick or curly hair. Plus, they instantly cover up any wild strands that have fallen victim to humidity.To revamp this timeless look, let your hair fall at its natural part and scoop it into your favorite braid style. Try keeping it simple and orderly.

On July 25th 2010, after 3 months of renovation, we moved from Wallington to our current location at 20 Enoch Street in East Rutherford. After four years in the Wallington salon we had outgrown the location and needed more space: for additional washing and color stations, a new manicure and pedicure area and two extra rooms dedicated to our Spa services. We'd like to thank all of our loyal customers who followed us into the new location. It was an exciting experience. And we continue working to provide the best possible Salon & Spa experience for our valued customers. The Elite team at the 2 year anniversary If you did not have the opportunity yet: Our current promotions are a good way to experience our new and upgraded Spa facilities!

At Elite Hair Studio and Spa we are consistently striving to provide the best experience for our customers. Once you arrive we would like you to relax and indulge. You should expect a seamless experience starting with a reception by out front-desk staff, followed by consultation and preparation, the actual service and any follow-up. At Elite we always act as a team and not just as individual service providers. When our employees work together — rather than compete against one another — great things happen. This salon culture however requires constant work and improvement. Last May we attended a Strategies Seminar where we were learning new aspects of Productivity Improvement and Teamwork. The seminar was lead by Neil Ducoff, the founder of Strategies.  In the seminar we focused on topics such as: improving teamwork building an extraordinary guest services team creating innovation and managing innovation teams Patrycja, Neil and Ma...

Vidal Sassoon cutting Mia Farrow's hair for her role in Rosemary's Baby Yesterday Vidal Sassoon passed away at the age of 84 in Los Angeles. He was a profound inspiration to us at Elite Hair Studio. He will be missed and his work and creative genius will forever be remembered. With his revolutionary hair styling for women, pioneering sleek, geometric and precise cuts, he inspired whole generations of hairdressers and designers. "His designs have shaped the late 20th Century," Richard Martin and Harold Korda, curators at Metropolitan Museum of Art, wrote in the introduction to the 1993 book "Vidal Sassoon, Fifty Years Ahead." He brought "modernism to the medium of hair," they wrote. Vidal spun off a whole industry around Sassoon products, salons and teaching academies. We at Elite Hair were very much inspired by seminars at the Sassoon Academies in Santa Monica, Chicago or in London and we met so many talented and creative designers there...

A question that many of our clients ask is: "How often should I wash my hair?". There is no easy answer to that question and it turns out the answer to that question is based mostly on personal preference, your individual hair condition and the products you use. Dermatologists and stylists agree that there's little reason to shampoo every day. "Hair is a fiber," says Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a Vallejo, Calif., dermatologist and specialist in hair research. If you wash your hair too frequently with the wrong shampoo you might do real damage to it, just like wrong washing can do damage to other fibers like cotton, silk or wool. A little known beauty tip is that a head of hair that is properly shampooed and conditioned with the right products only needs to be shampooed every few days. The rule of thumb we suggest is to only shampoo and condition your hair as you feel it needs it and to use the right products. Most women resort to generic shampoo brands for the in...

With temperatures again in the 60s and spring officially starting on  March 20th we are quickly approaching the season of festivities and  special occasions. Easter, communions, weddings and proms are all  great opportunities to try out and shine with new and fabulous hairstyles. Today I want to give an overview of the latest trends in Updos.  An Updo is a hair style that involves arranging the hair  instead of allowing it to fall freely.  Well recognized styles include  the "Beehive", the "French Twist" and various forms of Buns.  With a professionally arranged Updo you can be sure that your hairstyle looks great and lasts for a long time. Even with short hair we can create gorgeous Updos by adding extensions to create legth and volume. Please check our website  www.elitehairstudio.com  or call us at 201-340-4274 for an appointment.

    We just came back from Chicago where we attended the 2012 ABS and Stylist Choice Awards.

The Sassoon Creative team presented amazing cuts and colors that can be used to create a modern and unique look just for you. Please check our website for services and appointments.
