L'oquencE Hair Salon Grand in Maplewood, NJ

My daughter and I both love Coco. My hair is natural, my daughter has locs. Coco has been a stylist for decades and really knows her craft. She is also very personable. She respects your time and I'm always in her chair within five minutes of my appointment time. Her prices are very reasonable. The shop is always very clean and the comfortable.

Coco is amazing at listening to her customers and mastering the style exactly the way you explain to her. From the first time she did my hair was very satisfied and been coming every week from that day.

I have 3 words - Coco is amazing!! I wish I would've found this gem of a hair salon sooner. I would have saved a ton of money on Drive-through salons with non-skilled hairstylists that don't give a darn about their craft and don't know what the heck they're doing. Not only did Coco have excellent stylist etiquette but her attitude is completely reflected in her work ethic. You can tell she loves what she does. If you're looking for someone to dye and fry your hair - THIS IS NOT the salon for you. Coco takes time to assess your crown; she takes time to talk to you and find out what you want. She also cares about her clients and their hair. She gave me a trim and now my ends look amazing but I still have length! I couldn't even tell she trimmed it. I honestly cannot say enough nice things about this stylist and her salon. I now have L'oquencE (pronounced Eloquence) saves in my phone on speed dial. Coco is a staple as far as I'm concerned - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I was so lucky to be seen by Toya at the last minute! I have longer than shoulder length naturally curly hair. It was my first visit and Toya did a great job washing, blowing out, flat ironing and then pinning up my hair in less than an hour. I'll definitely go back and highly recommend!

This salon was wonderful. I found it by chance when I googled salons in my area. I was pleasantly surprised with this salon. It's only been open for about a year. There are 2 stylists that work there. The woman who did my hair was named Coco (I didn't get the other lady's name) but I saw her work as someone was leaving and it looked fabulous. Anyway, I made an appointment for 1:30. I arrived on time and I was serviced immediately. I requested a deep conditioner, trim and blow out. Personally, I like a firm hard scrub when my hair is getting wash and I felt the wash was a bit light but that's just my personal preference. After the wash, I got my deep conditioner. The dryers are the stand alone dryers on a pole and they have chairs under them. I wasn't too fond of that as I like the benches connected to the dryers. I was so uncomfortable sitting in the chair under the dryer because the chair was hard and the dryer was set too low on the pole. After the conditioner was washed out, I was blown out, trimmed. Then she curled my ends with a flat iron. The service was so fast that I was out of the salon by 2:45. There was no sitting around and waiting at all! With that said, I was expecting to pay around $60-$70 for my hair. But it was only $45 for all of that!! Needless to say, I left a hefty tip. I will definitely be returning to L'oquence. I was very impressed by their professionalism and friendly demeanor. The salon was a bit small but it had a very nice decor and atmosphere. Pros: Very inexpensive (price list is on the wall so no surprises when its time to pay). Fast Service with an appointment Friendly Staff Nice Decor Hair looks fab when you leave Cons: Dryers are the stand alone type with very uncomfortable chairs
