WE Believe THAT YOUR HAIR SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THE MOST Badass VERSION OF YOURSELF
meet the love lane team
The Love Lane Team isn't a collection of artists who happen to share a space. It's a crew that trains together, pushes each other, and genuinely geeks out over this craft. Colorists, cutters, extension specialists, bridal artists: every chair holds someone who chose this work because they love it, and it shows in the details. We hire for talent, but we keep people for passion. So whoever you sit with, you're getting the full weight of the whole team's obsession.
And here's the thing about finding "your" stylist: it's a little like dating, except we actually want to set you up right. Every artist here has their own specialty, their own vibe, and their own loyal following. Scroll down and you'll get it. Whether you're team lived-in color, precision bob, big bouncy layers, or "I have curls and no one's ever known what to do with them," someone at Love Lane has been waiting for you.
AS Seen IN PRINT, PODCASTS, AND Probably YOUR GROUP CHAT
in the press
From local legends to national names, the word about Love Lane keeps traveling. We've been covered, quoted, awarded, and podcast'd, and every feature tells a piece of the same story: a non-salon in Jersey City doing things differently, with a team worth writing about. Want the receipts?
MEET the
FOUNDER
I used to have a "hair room" in my apartment. Now I have an 1,100 square foot fourth floor loft in the heart of Downtown Jersey City, with 20+ talent-as-hell artists working alongside me. The goal never changed though: make people feel like the most badass version of themselves. I spent years in the corporate salon world (hello Frederic Fekkai in the aughts) before I realized the salon I wanted to work at didn't exist yet. So in 2016, I built it. My whole thing is the details. The dimension in your color, the way your fringe falls, the bridal style that holds through the last dance. But also the bowls we mix in, the couch you sit on, the playlist, the color of this very website. Every detail at Love Lane is a choice, and that's the point: when someone cares this much about the small stuff, you never have to wonder about the big stuff.

FOR THE Artists WHO WANT More THAN JUST A CHAIR
Here's what working here looks like: a path from assistant to fully booked Artist that we've walked people down again and again. Teammates who share formulas instead of gatekeeping them. A full book built on a decade of Jersey City loyalty. And a culture where being cool and being kind aren't in competition. We built Love Lane to be the salon we all wished existed when we were coming up. If you're obsessed with this craft and tired of pretending you're not, we should talk.
