In a crowded beauty landscape, Trendz Salon in Florham Park, NJ, continues to shine—not just for its sleek cuts or bold color work, but for its culture of connection, creativity and continual evolution. At the heart of it all is owner Raul Grippaldi, whose passion for both beauty and business has shaped Trendz into a space where trends begin and transformations happen daily.
“This isn’t just a place to get your hair done,” says Grippaldi. “It’s a place where people feel seen, supported and styled to feel like their best selves.”
Trendz has built its loyal following on a reputation for precision, innovation and atmosphere. Clients are welcomed like old friends, and stylists deliver more than a service—they create an experience. From the moment someone steps through the door, every detail is curated to feel both elevated and effortless.
The salon’s team of stylists is known not only for their technical skill but also for their forward-thinking approach to beauty. Education is part of the DNA at Trendz, where stylists regularly train in the latest techniques, attend trade events and even mentor one another across specialties.
“We invest in learning constantly,” Grippaldi explains. “From advanced coloring to cutting-edge extension methods, our team stays ahead so our clients can trust they're in expert hands.”
Speaking of extensions—they're one of the most requested services at Trendz this season. Whether clients want instant volume, dramatic length, or a fresh take on color, Trendz offers options ranging from clip-ins to long-wear keratin bonds, all using 100 percent Remy human hair.
“Extensions are no longer just for special occasions,” says Grippaldi. “They're part of everyday style now—and we offer solutions that are both beautiful and healthy.”
That commitment to hair health is reflected in the salon’s exclusive private-label haircare line. Free of sulfates and parabens, and rich in ingredients like argan oil and keratin, the collection supports everything from shine to strength, especially when used post-color or post-extension.
“Our products are an extension of our philosophy,” says Grippaldi. “They’re high-performance, clean and personalized—just like our services.”
Still, it’s the culture that truly sets Trendz apart. Stylists are celebrated as artists. Clients are treated as collaborators. The space itself pulses with positivity, mentorship and mutual respect.
“We’re a salon, yes—but we’re also a community,” Grippaldi says. “And that makes all the difference.”
