Artemis Studio

I began coming to this salon in July of last year to purchase Davines products after moving from Florida. In September, I decided to have my hair done and specifically requested Ranelle, but was told she was unavailable, so I went with Nicole. She is very sweet, but I felt she was not the best fit for my hair type. For my next appointment, I again requested Ranelle, this time booking over a month in advance. Right before the appointment, I received an email saying Ranelle would not be available and that I would be placed with the same stylist. I was frustrated and expressed my concerns via email and in a Google review because I had been very clear and intentional about requesting the stylist who understood my hair needs. After posting the review, Ranelle reached out. When I spoke with her, instead of an apology for the scheduling mistake, I was met with attitude and was told I had been booked into a time slot that wouldn’t allow her enough time, as if I were supposed to know how her schedule works. The error was not mine, yet I was made to feel responsible for it. I explained that Nicole was kind and that I did not want to make her feel bad, which is why I kept requesting Ranelle. Ranelle assured me she would make space to take care of me, but I never received a call back. I waited with grown-out roots and previously bleached hair. I texted her again kindly in December and still received no response. I have spent hundreds of dollars here regularly just on products alone. The level of disregard and lack of follow-through from both the salon and the owner has been extremely disappointing. Being blamed for a scheduling error, promised a solution, and then ignored is not customer service. My advice: don’t voice dissatisfaction here unless you’re prepared to be contacted only to remove a negative review and then forgotten. I spoke with Ranelle on October 16 and was assured she’d make changes to accommodate me. Trusting her word I waited past Thanksgiving and Christmas yet no reply or follow up. Since it was the holidays I was unable to get an appointment in any reputable salon until this past week. I spent the holidays with grown out roots being blonde. When I prepared and booked since late September. I would never return to this salon nor do I recommend them to anyone! Since September I booked with Ranelle for November and was not notified until mid October she would not be available due to their error. Then dismissed and disregarded for voicing my dissatisfaction. There’s no excuse! Not a call back, follow up or text since she scolded me and I removed the initial review there was no longer urgency to fix their error.

I tried Damien for the first time and had an amazing experience! He’s very knowledgeable and took the time to ask what I wanted before touching my hair. He offered great advice and gave me an incredible haircut! I highly recommend Damien — he truly knows what he’s doing. He even taught me how to properly iron my hair without burning it, and I left the salon with my next appointment already booked. I absolutely loved the whole experience!

I had my first visit 2 weeks ago after going to the same place for 15 years. Needless to say I was a little nervous. But after Samantha cut my hair I was so happy with my results. She did such a wonderful job. And the place is beautifully decorated.

I have never had a better experience with a salon than I have consistently had at Artemis Studio. I was extremely impressed with the time and care that Damien and the staff took to make me comfortable and achieve fantastic results! Damien and I carefully walked through what I was looking for and how to properly take care of my hair after the appointment. I am looking forward to returning!

To start, the salon is beautiful and has a sophisticated rustic vibe which I love. The atmosphere is so welcoming and I love the complementary drinks! I rarely get my hair cut (maybe once a year) because I get so anxious about it — in the past, stylists haven’t listened to what I want and have cut off way more than I was comfortable with leaving me in tears. Damien is completely different. He listens to exactly what I want and does such an amazing job that even my husband has been impressed each time. I’ve now had two appointments with Damien and I’m so happy I found him! My hair looks great and feels so healthy after each cut. He has such a great eye for detail and is a perfectionist. He’s so sweet and makes the whole experience enjoyable. 100% recommend using him!

I booked a blow out with Damien at the salon. He asked me about my hair care and was very attentive. He washed my hair which was amazing and relaxing. The blow out was perfect and he added beautiful bouncy curls. Damien was friendly and knowledgeable about all my hair needs. I will definitely be going back!

Haven't been to a Salon in Years and my Anxiety was through the roof. But I had the best experience! everyone was so warm and welcoming and my Stylist Damien was Fantastic. He was the Sweetest and made me feel comfortable being there and going back to the Salon after all these years. And my Hair!!!! My oh My!! I am in Love with it! I feel like a new person. its Gorgeous and all thanks to Damien!! I will be going back in the Future for sure!

I got my haircut a couple days ago by Damien and I had the best experience! I didn't have a specific style in mind and asked for what would be the best for my hair, and my hair turned out to be perfect! I had layers and face framing pieces which all blends in perfectly. The place is very clean, nice, and everyone is very helpful and friendly!

The reason I am leaving one star is because I was being kied to on every single service for about two years. I made it clear to my person on day 1 no permanent dye, just the semi permanent and I would constantly ask each time and I was lied to! I went faithfully and often to put what i thought was temporary color which would not show roots! Wrong! I am now in the process of growing out the color and the new salon confirmed this was permanent dye I am so upset i paid top dollar and did not get what i asked for! And was lied to each and every time! The salon itself is nice and the people arent bad people but they have devastated me with this deception and now I have no choice but to grow this out and it will take years! I am beyond upset.

I tried Salons closer to me when RANELLE left New Brunswick, and yes they cost less but I don't want to pay any amount of money to be unhappy with my hair. I found my way back to RANELLE. It's an hour and a half drive but 100% worth it

Very unprofessional receptionist. Called to set up an appointment, told them I had a gift card and they started to set it up. I then informed them my daughter went there and they asked the stylist. When they realized that stylist was no longer working there, they then told me the gift card was no longer valid. The gift card was bought for the salon not the stylist.

I have searched high and low for a "go to" hair stylist but no one comes close to Ranelle from Artemis Salon. Although it adds up to a pricy cut, since she is a master stylist, she really knows how to work with my hair. Even when grown out for a few months- the way she cuts my hair is just perfect.

I cannot say enough positive things about Artemis Salon and my very favorite hairdresser Ranelle. I feel like I'm in a spa each time-- it's my relaxing time. They make me feel special! And Ranelle knows what to do to make me look beautiful. She balances doing what I ask with knowing what I need. I continue to recommend her to any and all. She is THE VERY BEST!

I could not be happier with my outcome at Artemis Salon. The staff is so welcoming and friendly you almost feel like your in a living room chatting with friends, that atmosphere also adds to the experience it is beautiful just as you will feel when you leave there. I went there for a color correction and balayage. Destini did a phenomenal job! I gave her hair that was multiple tones of red and in two sessions she turned me into a beautiful blonde that is not only stunning but also will blend so beautifully with my natural color. I'm so glad I found a new salon I love. The products they use also are so nourishing for the hair. You know when you go to the salon and your hair feels great for about a day or two then it starts to loose it's luster. These products don't do that you will have great shine and health to your hair. So much so I purchased some to prolong the health of my hair. If you are looking for a new salon or think you need a drastic change I wouldn't hesitate to go to Artemis.

This would have been my fav salon as I was looking for a good salon near home for sometime. I went there this week for a hair cut and coloring service, service was decent and ambiance was good and price reasonable , but the surprise came at the end when I was asked to pay separatly for blow drying,. I was already paying 100s of $, and I was expected to shell out more of blow dry. In a way i get it,.atleast they asked me before adding that to my bill, i said no thanks and then the biggest shock/deal breaker came, when they did not even dry my hair, i was walking out wet (with water dripping out of my hair) out of salon. All the salons I have been not in one place they will not even dry my hair at the bare minimum. I do not think I will be going there again, guess I keep looking for a good salon.

I have been seeing Julia since I moved back to Middlesex - 8 years now. I started with Julia at another salon in East Brunswick and followed her to Morganville (brief stint) and now to Artemis in Matawan. I love the relaxed vibe at Artemis and like their Oway products as they do the job without being overly smelly like some products. Julia always listens to what I want and I've always been happy with my cut.

Friendly and efficient staff, skilled stylists, clean products, what more can you ask for. Nicole gives consistent, reliable cuts and highlights.

Friendly and listened to what I wanted and cut perfectly! Thanks, will be the only one I go to! Wish I had discovered sooner

Love this salon & the staff. Vicki especially is amazing & so is Julia! My hair always looks amazing and feels better.

I went to Artemis to see Nicole after being referred to her. I showed her a picture off of HER OWN PAGE and said this is exactly what I want. After $105 I got the picture in the black tank top so I called for a redo saying it's nothing like what I asked for. The receptionist booked me an appointment saying it would be fixed and never mentioning a fee. After going back they tried to charge me $130 for a FULL HEAD OF HIGHLIGHTS and glaze. I ended up paying $95 for the redo(teal tank top) which was Nicole's mistake and still it is nothing close to what I asked for. It is not like I asked for color that was complex, the stylist I went to, Nicole posted that it was her work. I called the salon again after realizing even after my second trip back to the salon that the color Nicole REDID was not blended at all and got in touch with Jenn, the salon owner who offered to redo my hair for a third time in the span of one week. Jenn blended the parts Nicole missed and I now have subtle highlights. Jenn also refunded me $60 for my troubles.

This was my first time at the new salon. I have always gone to Nicole. Followed Nicole to the new salon. Love her work. I find a picture show her and it's exactly what I get. I recently moved to PA and I am more then happy to drive to NJ so Nicole can do my hair. The atmosphere is warming and welcoming. The other ladies are very welcoming also. Can't wait to go back and be pampered.

I have been here a couple times and must say this salon tops MANY that I have gone to. I'm in love with my hair goddess, Nikki and the whole crew! From the time you walk in the door till you walk out feeling amazing, its the place to go. If you need a hair cut, color, hair treatment which includes pampering with some of the best... I highly suggest you call or stop by! Thank you Artemis and my hair goddess, Nikki!!

Artemis is a salon filled with extremely talented stylists and it really makes you feel like you're important from the second you step in! You're greeted by someone always and offered coffee, tea, a cookie. Always something. I can go to any stylist in that salon and tell them to do whatever they want and trust 100% my hair will come out perfect and up to my expectations. The girls are all so professional and sweet, they know how to make a client feel welcome! The salon itself is stunning and so much different than the ones I've been to. The organic line of products really makes a difference in your hair! I am never disappointed m and will continue to be a customer! Artemis is the best!!

Love this salon! Jen does amazing work. So professional & kind & really knows how to pamper you! She really turned this whole salon around & made it her own. & it's perfect! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Loving the new salon and want to give a big shout out to NICOLE!! She is amazing...I have been going to her for at least five years and would not trust anyone else with my hair (I did once and came right back because she just gets me). I don't understand her bad review on here because everything that was said is just the opposite of how she is. Nicole will ALWAYS tell you the truth and will never give you anything you don't ask for and is always upfront with pricing. She has a great eye for color and is amazing with extensions. She can read people very well and even when I suggest something that she knows won't work on me she will be honest. I feel so comfortable here and with her. Thank you Artemis for having such a nice team!
