A Salon Built for REAL Stylists
The Hair Room JC was founded by Anatalie - a color specialist who trained at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door in NYC and built a boutique salon concept that puts people first. We got out start on Montgomery Street in Downtown JC, and that original spirit never left us.
We've since come full circle: back to one intimate, carefully curated location in the Heights - smaller by design, stronger for it. This isn't a corporate chain or a revolving door. It's a tight-knit salon with deep roots in the community, and we're looking for stylists who want to part of something real.

WHY THE HAIR ROOM JC
We're not like Other Salons
Here's what sets us apart from every other gig in Jersey City
Real Inclusive Culture
Gender-free. Judgment-free. We've been committed to this since day one — it's in our DNA, not just our branding.
Rooted in JC Heights
Our current home in the Heights carries the same intimate spirit as our original Montgomery St. location — a tight-knit neighborhood salon with a loyal, established clientele and an owner that lives around the block.
A Salon That's Also a Community
Events, workshops, collabs, and a team that genuinely likes working together. Yes, that's rare. Yes, it's real.
