A look at the work we love

A neighborhood hair salon built on kindness, good conversation and careful work, where customers walk in as strangers and leave as part of the family.
Our story
Ask anyone who has been to Super Maria Hair Salon what they remember, and they will usually start with a person: Maria. Her name comes up in review after review. Customers describe her as talented, patient and genuinely kind, the kind of stylist who makes you feel at home the moment you sit down. Some call her Mrs. Maria. Most simply call the salon their place.
Maria is not alone in the shop. One customer wrote that Mrs. Maria and the other ladies who work there give top-class service in a sweet, family-loving environment, and that sums up the feeling well. It is a team of women who make regulars and first-timers alike feel comfortable.
Super Maria is also a bilingual salon. On any given day you might hear two languages across the chairs, and customers say that everyone gets along, chatting, laughing and sharing the room like neighbors. That mix is part of what makes the salon special. It reflects the West Side itself: many backgrounds, one block.
The care shows in the details. Reviewers mention being offered coffee while they wait, families bringing their kids, and a stylist who takes time with every texture. One customer wrote that she loves how Maria caters to African American hair. Others come for highlights, blowouts, a classic wash and set, or a treatment to rescue hair that has seen too much heat. Whatever brings you in, the goal is the same: you should leave looking good and feeling cared for.
A typical visit is simple. You are greeted at the door, offered a seat, and your stylist spends a few minutes asking about your hair before anything starts. Then you can relax, chat or just enjoy a quiet hour to yourself while the work gets done. When you are finished, your stylist will show you the result and share tips to keep it looking fresh at home.
What we believe
Every customer is greeted warmly, whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth. Nobody should feel like a number in a busy salon.
Before any scissors or color, we ask what you want and how you live with your hair. Then we confirm the plan with you.
Every hair type, every age, every language. Kids, parents and grandparents all share the same friendly room.

Where we serve
The salon sits at 483 West Side Avenue, close to Lincoln Park and New Jersey City University, a few blocks from Communipaw Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard. Customers come from all around the West Side, plus Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette, Journal Square and McGinley Square, and from across Jersey City via Route 440. The West Side Avenue light rail station is a short walk away, and the salon's parking lot is wheelchair accessible.
Being part of this neighborhood matters to us. Many customers live within walking distance and stop in between school pickups, shifts and errands on the avenue. Others come from farther across the city. Either way, you are not just another appointment here. You are a neighbor, and you will be treated like one from the moment you walk through the door.
