Internationally acclaimed hairstylist brings his legendary hair design studio to South Orange. 9 West South Orange Avenue, South Orange 973.762.2900 www.YoniKregerSalon.com Y Yoni Kreger opened his first hair salon in Tel Aviv at the age of 21. After he sold that business and moved to New York City, he began working for Manhattan’s largest hair salon chain. Within the year, he took a struggling location and turned it into a bustling hive of inspiration and client satisfaction. As he crisscrossed his way across Manhattan working at various locations, the clients he serviced followed him – an extraordinary feat in a city where convenience is king. He became one of the company’s top educators, teaching assistants and stylists not only the basics and nuances of hair cutting and coloring, but also instilling in them an unshakeable commitment to client satisfaction and indulgence. In 2012, Yoni opened his own salon in SoHo, which remains a success. He began working with noted celebrities and behind the scenes of New York Fashion Week. Having moved his young family to South Orange, Yoni, like many commuters, wanted his business to be part of his new hometown. And so he did just that: Yoni Kreger Salon opened this February in the heart of South Orange in the new Gateway building at 9 West South Orange Ave (which also offers free parking for salon clients in the back). This salon is the culmination of this master stylist’s decades-long career in hairstyling, hair design, and hair care, and is the sole distributor of the Yoni Kreger Silk Road Hair Care line of products. Yoni’s warmth and compassion are as much to credit for his popularity with clients as are his world-class hairstyling skills. He is a master of knowing exactly how to service all hair types, styles, textures, and looks: when it comes to curly hair, however, his true genius shines. From loose, fat curls to the tightest, kinky coils, he has an innate eye for the ways that lines, color, geometry, and texture can be harnessed to complement the unique features and personal beauty of each client. Yoni Kreger’s gift for hair design is much beloved and admired, as attested by the many loyal NYC clients who take the unusual “reverse commute” to South Orange for an appointment in this community gem of a hair studio.
