A neighborhood salon full of color.
Yahaira's Hair Creation is a West Side Avenue beauty salon where neighbors come for sets, blowouts, color, cuts, extensions and brows, some of them for years.
Our story
Made for everyday beautiful
On the southern stretch of West Side Avenue, between the shops and the busy bus stops, Yahaira's Hair Creation has become a familiar stop for people who want their hair to look and feel its best. The salon focuses on the services that matter in everyday life: a wash and roller set that lasts, a smooth blowout, color that covers grays or brightens a look, a fresh cut, tape-in extensions and a neat brow wax.
Clients describe a great atmosphere and great service, and reviewers have called the staff talented and super friendly. One client wrote that she had the best experience on a recent visit. Others have been coming back for years, including a longtime client who has been visiting since 2018 and appreciated being told what was best for her damaged hair.
That kind of advice is at the heart of a good salon visit. Healthy hair starts with an honest conversation about what your hair has been through, what it can handle and what will help it look its best, and then a service done with care.
The salon's name says it well: hair creation. Every appointment is a chance to create something, whether that's a set with perfect bounce for a Sunday family lunch, a bold new color for a new season, or extra length from extensions for a celebration. Bring your ideas and let's create the look together.

Your first appointment
If you have never been to the salon before, here is what to expect. Start with a phone call to book, since the listing says appointments are required. Tell the salon what you have in mind, whether that's a wash and roller set for the week, a blowout before a big night, a color refresh or a set of tape-in extensions, and they will find you a time.
When you arrive, take a minute to talk about your hair before anything begins. Share photos of looks you like, explain how you style your hair at home and mention any color, relaxers or treatments from the past few months. The more the stylist knows, the better the result. If your hair is dry, damaged or thinning, ask what would help it; good advice is part of a good service.
Then relax. From the wash at the basin to the final finish, your appointment is time set aside for you. Before you leave, ask how to keep your style looking fresh for as long as possible, and book your next visit while you're there if you like to keep a regular routine.
Area we serve
Proudly on the West Side
The salon is at 222 West Side Avenue in Jersey City's 07305, close to New Jersey City University and the West Side Avenue Light Rail station. Clients come from the West Side, Greenville, Bergen-Lafayette and the Communipaw Avenue area, and from further across Jersey City for a stylist they trust. Open Monday through Saturday, with early Saturday hours from 8 AM for anyone who wants to be done before the weekend gets busy.
Being part of the neighborhood matters. The salon sits among the shops and bus stops of West Side Avenue, and plenty of clients fit an appointment around errands, school pickups or a shift at work. If you live nearby, it's the kind of place you can walk to; if you're coming from further away, the light rail and buses make it an easy trip.
Getting started is simple: call (201) 521-0444, tell the salon what you'd like done and book a time. Bring your ideas, your questions and a photo of the look you love.
