Everyone knows where to go if they need a haircut or a quick blow dry. But when hair needs are not so specific, and possibly a little uncomfortable to discuss, no one knows where to go, and they are hesitant to ask around. Iris Huertas has been providing sensitive and dignified hair experiences for 20 years, with 10 of those years being in Teaneck. She specializes in hair replacement, and is certified in extensions, and even wigs. Many of her customers come in because they suffer from hair loss and hair thinning, especially around the crown area, and feel uncomfortable with the way they look. Coming into Huertas’ private salon, which caters to their individual needs, can be a relief as they can get that one-on-one personal experience that Huertas provides. She has three private rooms and works by appointment only. “Privacy is essential for many of our customers,” she explained.
“When women come in with thinning hair, I will customize a piece so they can manage it on their own, and they only need to come in for maintenance,” Huertas said. Besides doing hair replacement, her salon also does hair extensions “for the Jennifer Lopez look people always want,” in addition to eyelash applications, spray tans and Brazilian blowouts to keep hair sleek and frizz-free for six to eight weeks.
“This is not a regular hair salon,” described Huertas. “It is considered more of a beauty-enhancement salon.”
Catering to the large number of women who wear wigs in the greater Teaneck community is also important to Huertas. She will work with women to help them find a wig, order it, customize it and even do a wash and set. Her prices are very reasonable, too, ranging from $25 to $35 depending on length of the sheitel, and her services are almost always same-day, or at least next-day.
