FEEL GREAT. FAST. M E N ’ S Men need more than just a barber. With today’s cut and color options, men are able to look younger longer with the right style. J. Walker, Bernardsville’s pre- mier salon for over twenty years, has opened an outpost in Basking Ridge ded- icated exclusively to their male clientele and their kids – J. Walker Men’s . This salon “mancave” is the perfect mix between a modern barbershop and a tra- ditional salon with all of the style and experience of J. Walker behind it. Originally home to Henry Street Shortcut, J. Walker Men’s was opened this past fall by Jessica Walker- Hawthorne. Jessica is a Far Hills resident who first opened Plaza Salon of Bernardsville back in 1997. After decades of success in the area, Plaza recently cel- ebrated its twentieth anniversary by re- branding as J. Walker. Always on the forefront of trends, as the anniversary approached Ms. Walker realized that she had more to offer her clients. She envi- sioned expanding and opening a place dedicated exclusively to the unique needs of her male clientele and their kids. “Come in, enjoy a cold beer, get a great haircut,” Ms. Walker offers, ”and take a moment to focus on yourself, even if it’s for just a brief moment. I’ve wanted to put together this type of space in the area for quite some time. I love connect- ing with and creating opportunities for growth within our community." As soon as you walk into J. Walker Men’s , you can see how it stands out. It is all male, but it maintains a sense of modern style and comfort that lets its clients know they are in good hands. Instead of the earth tones and floral accents in many women’s salons, J. Walker Men’s is outfitted in deep blues and dark wood with an aquarium and outdoor magazines in the waiting area. Men, like women, feel better and more confident on the inside when they look better on the outside. At J. Walker Men’s , they have access to professionals who are continuously trained in the latest products, techniques, and styles but the focus is exclusively on men. The list of services at J. Walker Men’s is shorter than what is offered at the Bernardsville salon, but it highlights the unique needs of their male clientele. A cut is only $28 and it includes a shampoo scalp massage and style. The cut is only $23 for seniors, kids and law enforce- ment officials. As the warm weather comes, many men start thinking about buzz cuts. Buzz cuts are only $18. J. Walker Men’s also offers the latest in color blending, highlights or overall color coverage to maintain a youthful appear- ance for only $25. Razor beard, mus- tache trim and waxing services are also available. So forget about the barber shop or the salon. There is a whole new concept in men’s grooming – J. Walker Men’s .

They are located at 4 Henry Street in downtown Basking Ridge and are open every day – Sundays 10-3, Mondays 9-5, Tuesdays through Fridays 9-8 and Saturdays 8-5. 4 Henry Street, Basking Ridge By: Joanne Kleinle www.theconnectionsnj.com
