Shape-ups, trims and new cuts that keep your ends healthy and your style looking intentional.

Your salon on Communipaw Avenue
You'll find Canaan Beauty Salon at 390 Communipaw Avenue, in the heart of Bergen-Lafayette. It's an easy trip from Greenville, the West Side, McGinley Square and Journal Square, and close to the neighborhoods around Liberty State Park — near enough for a Saturday-morning appointment before the rest of your day begins.
Longtime clients say the salon feels good the moment you walk in. They describe stylists who work fast and have amazing hands, who give you exactly what you asked for, and who take care of you on time — sometimes with a beverage while you wait. One client said the owner cut and styled her hair very nicely; another praised the beautiful color work on her daughter's hair. It's the kind of place people stay loyal to: one client even flew in from Atlanta to visit the shop.
We focus on the services that keep hair healthy and looking its best week after week: washes and conditioning, roller sets, blow-dries, trims, cuts and color. Children are welcome, and the salon is set up for families, with a restroom on site. Card and tap-to-pay payments make checkout quick at the end of your visit.
We're open Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 7 PM, and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 7 PM. Because the chairs can fill up depending on the time, appointments are recommended. Call (201) 432-2812 or book online from our Google listing.
