Welcome New Friend
We are so happy that you have found us & cannot wait to meet you.
Your Best Hair Starts Here
We know the first visit to a new salon can feel like a lot. New artists, new process, new prices — it's a lot to figure out. So we made it simple.
Instead of navigating a full service menu, new clients start with one of our curated sessions. Each one is designed to give you and your artist the time, space, and focus to build a real foundation — and get your hair exactly where you want it to be.

What to Expect Your First Time at Craft House Salon
First dates can be intimidating, so we wanted to share some deets...
Craft House Salon is a by-appointment-only hair salon at 87 First Ave, Atlantic Highlands, NJ. It is in the historic district of town and conveniently located close to the Seastreak ferry.
Before Your Visit
Once you're booked, you'll receive a few friendly reminders — 72 hours, 24 hours, and 30 minutes before your appointment. Your artist may also reach out ahead of time for a quick virtual consultation. This isn't a formality — it's how we make sure your time in the chair is focused, efficient, and exactly what you had in mind.
Free Parking and a Warm Greeting
We're at 87 First Ave in the historic district of Atlantic Highlands, right near the Seastreak ferry. Street parking is free; for longer color appointments (2+ hours), the municipal lot behind the salon is your best bet.
When you walk in, someone will greet you. You'll be offered a beverage, shown to your seat, and introduced to your artist. From there, it's all yours.
The Consultation
A thorough consultation at your hair appointment is a crucial step in ensuring that your desired hairstyle, color, or treatment aligns with your expectations and suits your individual preferences. This is the most crucial step in your journey to loving your hair. It is an opportunity for you to communicate your goals and for us to provide professional advice based on our expertise. We will discuss your likes and dislikes, current struggles with your hair, budget, maintenance preference, and possible product recommendations.
We'll collaborate on a custom plan that includes your haircut, color formula, treatments, and/or extension placement. We can put together a game plan not just for our first date but well into our one-year anniversary. No worries; everything gets recorded digitally, so you'll always have consistent results.
The Session
Sit back and enjoy a snack, seltzer, seasonal tea, latte, or wine—all complimentary.
The time is yours if you want to chat; we're all in! If you prefer to make a quiet appointment, we get it! Grab a pair of earplugs upon entry; there is no need to say more.
Do you need to work while you're here? Just bring your laptop. We'll supply the Wi-Fi and laptop desk, and we always have extra chargers.
Regardless of your session goals, we never miss an opportunity to enhance your hair. Every session receives a complimentary custom treatment to address your hair's needs.
Our shampoo scalp massages are incredible, but please feel comfortable opting out if you dislike the scalp massage or find it overstimulating.
We will explain how to style, care for, and maintain your new look. We'll also chat about products and tools and when we can meet again.
Then, you can show off your killer new look to the world—be sure to tag us in your selfies!
Good Bye...For Now
We end our time together with a suggested return for your next session and some great products to keep your hair fresh.
We accept all major credit cards, check, and cash for payment.
Gratuity is never expected but is always appreciated and accepted in cash or through Venmo.
We're invested in your hair long after you leave our chair. If you've had a big change, don't be surprised if your artist checks in to see how you're settling into your new look. You'll have 7 days to play with it — and if anything needs a small adjustment, we want to know. (please read house rules)

Booking Details
To hold your appointment, we ask for a 50% reservation fee at the time of booking.
Life happens — we get it. If you need to reschedule, just give us 48 hours' notice and your fee transfers to a future appointment (valid for one year). Because we reserve your artist's time specifically for you, last-minute cancellations aren't something we're able to accommodate without the reservation fee.
Thank you for understanding — it's how we take care of the whole team.
