Salon Madava
NYC-trained expertise and 20-plus years of experience bring big-city hair to your backyard in Newfoundland, NJ.
Salon Madava was built on a simple conviction: you shouldn't have to drive to the city for a great haircut. Founder Michelle Rubino trained at Bumble and Bumble and the Redken Exchange in New York City, walked the backstage halls of NY Fashion Week, and then brought every bit of that expertise back to Route 23 in Newfoundland. Over two decades of real-world experience show up in every consultation, every color formula, every finished look.
The salon draws clients from Sparta and beyond who have grown tired of bigger, pricier salons that treat them like a number. Here, the environment is genuinely relaxed, the conversation is real, and the results speak for themselves. Stylists like Stacey have earned the kind of loyalty that turns a first-time visitor into a regular after a single appointment. A 4.9-star rating across 30 reviews isn't a marketing claim, it's what happens when craft and customer care occupy the same chair.
Whether you're coming in for a precision cut, a full color correction, or a special-occasion up-style, Madava offers the full range of services you'd expect from a Manhattan salon, at a scale that actually remembers your name.
Salon Madava covers the complete picture, from everyday maintenance to transformative color work. Haircuts are available for women, men, and children under 9, and every service begins with a thorough consultation so the finished result fits your life, not just the trend board. On the color side, the menu runs from single process color and partial highlights to pull highlights, glaze, and the demanding specialty of color correction, where Michelle's advanced training genuinely matters.
Beyond cuts and color, the salon offers keratin treatments for frizz-free smoothing, conditioning treatments to restore health and shine, perms, wash and style, and full up-styles for weddings and events. Makeup application and eyebrow waxing round out the beauty services, and hair extensions are available for clients looking to add length or volume. Every service is delivered with the same attention to detail that earned Madava its reputation as the quiet gem on NJ-23.
