 And that's just what they do at this freshly remodeled salon located on the main boulevard of Kenilworth, NJ. In an industry known for it's high turnover of both employees and clients, the Cutting Crew boasts the highest retention rates of both in the industry. Sonny, along with her stylists, have become part of their clients for life – from the baby's first haircut, to their prom style, then the wedding hair.


 Being part of the community is equally as important Lefkowitz stressed. Free haircuts for Irene victims, Relay for Life cancer walks, Autism cut-a-thons and supporting local sports programs are just some ways the salons works to stay a relevant part of the community.


 Owner Sonny Lefkowit’z husband Jim has a different explanation for the salon’s success. “Sonny is a fierce leader who is exceptionally talented. In an extremely competitive business like this there is one reason she is thriving: Her clients and employees trust her. There are no gimmicks in that.”


 The salon is located at 601- Boulevard, Kenilworth NJ 07033. For more information you can visit www.cchairsalon.net or call the salon at (908) 276-9172.
