#SCBDFavorite: Get an ‘exquisite’ color & cut at Xquisite in Hoboken!

Posted on May 7, 2013 by smallchickbigdeals

I love living in Bergen County and will be sad when I move back to the Jersey Shore in a few short weeks. Not only am I extremely close to NYC but I’m a quick drive or train ride away from Hoboken. Because of that, I am fortunate to have a salon there that I am loyal to and only get my haircut there while I’ve lived it up here. It’s Xquisite Color & Cuts located right near the train station on 1st Street. The first time I went was actually right before Sandy hit but because it hit I … Continue reading →

#SCBDExclusive: Highlights down the #Shore at The Style Room!

Posted on May 6, 2013 by smallchickbigdeals

So almost two months ago, I went to get my complimentary hair colored at The Style Room in Brielle, NJ.

It was great experience and I’d definitely go back for future haircuts when I’m home. The staff at the salon was so friendly and it was great to meet the owner who was training Nina. This was also my first experience as a hair model and … Continue reading →

We got in just in time before the Bandits started performing and decided to order some of their $5 margaritas, beer, nachos, and wings.
