Claudine is my Holy Grail for my curly hair. I had gone into NYC to the main salon and had a Ouidad cut and was really happy but I wanted a more convenient location. I read the reviews on Bijou and Claudine and was really impressed with the reviews. Well Claudine proved even better then the reviews. I love my cut and I love the convenience of driving 15 minutes to get my Ouidad cut and products. The salon was beautiful - Claudine was an amazing stylist and person. I would highly recommend Claudine and Bijou - thank you Claudine - I love my curls!!!

I have to say I was a bit nervous to go at first because I go to the New York salon and was very happy there but it was too far for me. Then someone at my work told me about the owner of Bijou Salon - Claudine and how good she was, she learned at Ouidad. So, I had to try her and boy was I happy I did. She is very good, her salon is very nice. It's nice to not have to go in the city now to get my hair cut.... I just want to say thank you Ouidad for training her in my area. You have a great one in Robbinsville. You have to be proud.

I read the many testimonials before making my first appointment...but I really can say I'm a believer the salon is beautiful and Claudine is amazing! She explained everything in detail and my very unruly curls just listened and I was very reluctant as I'm sure most curly girls are but Ouidad is amazing and Claudine & her staff deliver amazing results. I actually had to hug her ... an experience I will never forget thanks Claudine & Ouidad!

I am a mother of a 7 year old daughter with massive curly hair. Not having curly hair of my own, I found it difficult to manage her crazy curls. In the past I would always find my daughters hair in knots and they were difficult to get out. She would hate when I would wash and style her hair, but thanks to the Ouidad cut that my daughter received from Claudine all that has changed. My daughters hair is easy to wash and style! It looks amazing up or down! There are no more tears because of my daughters unbearable knots! I want to thank Claudine for suggesting the Ouidad cut and products. I never knew such a cut product existed, but thanks to Claudine I am hooked! Not only is the salon, staff and owner amazing, but Claudine's Ouidad expertise just blew me away! Claudine and Ouidad have answered my prayers and my daughter NOW has beautiful bouncy NO TANGLED curls! I will be a customer of both Bijou and Ouidad for life!

I have been getting the Ouidad haircut for years now, but yesterday was the best one ever! I have been to New York, Livingston and Cherry Hill, but Claudine did such an amazing job I had to tell someone. When you sit in her chair you feel like her only client. Love, love, love Claudine and Ouidad!

Claudine is the best! Foe years I struggled with my curls frizz but now I do my three step process in the morning and I dont have to worry about my hair for the rest of the day. And the compliments I receive are amazing. Claudine could not be any nicer each time I get my hair cut and I recommend her and the salon to everyone with curly hair!!!

I recently got my haircut in Sept, my first ever Ouidad haircut and all I can say is WOW! Claudine the stylist and owner did an AMAZING job on my hair which prior to going to her was a complete frizzy, knotty, curly mess. I did not recognize my own hair when she was done. Not only did she do a phenomenal job but she is also so sweet and friendly. She was actually excited to cut my hair. When have you ever gone to a salon where the stylist is actually excited to transform your hair? This was a first for me. I will definitely be going back!

I had my haircut back in May by Claudine. My hair was not curling right before I went to her. I fell in love with my hair again after my cut from Claudine. The salon was beautiful. Claudine really knows what she is doing. I'm due for another haircut now and I wouldn't even think to go anywhere else but back to Claudine. Getting to her salon is so easy from the Jersey Shore. My experience was excellent!

I have never really been to a salon to have my hair done before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Claudine was extremely friendly and explained everything she was doing, so I felt very at ease throughout my entire visit. I went from having a huge mop of unmanageable hair to a wonderful Ouidad style and I am very pleased with every aspect of this experience.

Beautiful salon space, unpretentious owner and staff. Claudine explained everything she was doing very clearly, and even though I was in the salon for about an hour and a half, the time flew by - it really was a very pleasant experience. The Ouidad cut definitely added some much-needed life to my fine, wavy hair - and this was achieved without taking off much length at all. My only very minor critique is that although I was assured that my hair would not have that crunchy feel or product-like look from the styling gel, it definitely did my husband thought my hair was still wet when I returned home. I would recommend Claudine to anyone considering a Ouidad cut - I will be going back to her.

No more schlepping to NYC for me!!!! Claudine is FABULOUS!!!!! I've had my hair cut by various Ouidad stylists at Ouidad and around NYC for over 15 years so I speak from experience when I tell you that Claudine really knows hair. The salon is beautiful, the staff is warm, friendly and genuine, and Claudine is down to earth, approachable, knowledgeable and extremely professional. If you have curly hair you MUST trust it to Claudines capable hands and scissors!!!!!

I just wanted to say how very pleased I am with my experience at Bijou Salon. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted in such a friendly, welcoming way. I immediately felt comfortable and glad I made the decision to have my hair done there. I have curly hair and was looking for a salon that was able to do the Ouidad technique. Claudine was wonderful. She took the time to discuss the process with me so I could fully understand what was being done. She was very knowledgeable was able to show me how to follow through with keeping my hair looking and feeling so good. She gave me a beautiful cut and style that I was able to do once I got home. I am so very pleased with Claudines expertise, her salon, and especially my new curly hair thank you so much.

Claudine was amazing! This was my first visit to the salon because my current stylist has reduced her hours due to having a second child. All of the other testimonials were 100 percent right on! Claudine is VERY knowledgeable about curly hair - how to style it, how to cut it, etc. I like to wear my hair straight and just used to tolerate wearing my hair curly. Now - I will probably go straight for special occasions. Claudine did the Ouidad cut on me and it came out soooo good. I am so satisfied with the style. I am so excited that I found a stylist that is close to my house. Thank you Claudine and Ouidad.

My hair is a bit wavy and coarse to begin with so I always had a problem keeping it curly or straight until Claudine performed her Ouidad technique on my long fickle hair. I was a little nervous like the person below, but she reassured me that the length would remain the same. She explained how the technique will bring life into my curls and showed me how to maintain the look after I left. I couldn't believe how absolutely gorgeous my hair came out!! So many people complimented me on my flowing locks. Claudine is full of passion and it definitely shows in her work. The salon is comfortably stunning and friendly. Anyone who has curly hair, trust me you will not go wrong!! Thank you Claudine!

I have been straightening my hair for well over 15 years and I finally just go sick of the time it took as well as the damage I was causing. I will be 50 next year and knew it was time for a change. I was also finding my hair was becoming more difficult to manage as I was getting older. I did my research and decided to try to go back to my curl. I had not had a hair cut in 6 months and was nervous to allow someone new cut my hair. Well there was no need to be nervous Claudine made me at ease immediately, everyone was very polite and professional. She spent plenty of time with me during the consultation and assured me she was not going to cut off all my hair. She kept her word, I was actually amazed at how little hair was on the floor, she listened to me. And the result my hair looks FANTASTIC. It is shiny with just the right amount of curl. Thank you, Claudine I will be back all the way from Belmar.

After having straight hair all my life, for some reason in my 40's my hair has decided to go curly and I mean curly. I had no idea how to handle it and spent lots of time straightening it. Tired of fighting it sometimes, I would just let it go, but it just didn't really come out very nice. I tried a curling iron, but that took lots of time and still not quite right. After a visit to Claudine, she suggested the Ouidad cut, and wow what a difference! As my daughter said, now my curls are elegant. Claudine is certainly well-trained and made me feel comfortable. She explained the cut and how to use the styling product and now I can make it look as good as when she did it which makes me very happy. I would definitely recommend Claudine and the BiJou salon - knowledgeable staff, lovely salon and friendly atmosphere.

I have hated my curls since the 6th grade I'm now 27 since that horrible cut. This was my first professional haircut since then, and Claudine put me at total ease. She told me everything she was doing as she was doing it, and explained the styling technique. I left the salon in love with my curls and still am! Styling has become MUCH easier and now my hair is soft and touchable, which it has never been. I haven't had a bad hair day since I got my cut. I love everything about my new, defined curls! Thanks so much to Claudine and learning this technique!! You saved my hair.

I had the ouidad cut done previously at two other salons, but nothing compared to what Claudine did to my curls. My hair had never been so full and the way she masterfully carved my hair was like art. The reaction from my family and friends was wonderful! You can tell she really loves her job and is very talented at it as well. She was very nice and courteous and really cares about each and every one of her clients. Her salon looked AMAZING also! All the employees were very polite and well mannered. I will definitely be going there for future haircuts and I encourage all other curly haired girls in the area to check it out as well! Thank you for giving me such a great experience! -

Claudine was great! I totally recommend going to this salon if you have curly hair. My hair was pretty crazy and unmanageable. After my appointment with Claudine my hair felt amazing and looked amazing. I could actually run my fingers through my curls which had never looked so well-defined in my life! She explained her technique to me and eveything. Totally loved her and the style she gave me! If you have curly hair-you need to see Claudine!

My first visit to the Bijou Salon was definitely unique and just as promised. Claudine's expert consultation not only put me at ease, it had me actually looking forward to the finished style. All of this was executed with passion and fun, from the how and why's of what she was doing to tips on accomplishing the same with a little practice myself. Having grown up with the gamut of curly hair insecurities I am finally loving my curls Thanks Claudine and Ouidad!!!
