Maganda keeps its menu simple and does it well. Here's what customers come in for, in their own words, plus a few tips for getting the most out of your visit.
Prices vary by service and hair, so ask in the shop or call for a quote. Want something not listed here? Call first and ask.

Women's Haircuts
The heart of the shop. Whether you want a fresh take on your usual style or simply can't decide, sit down and talk it through with Susan. One longtime customer wrote that she never knows what she wants, and Susan gets it right every time. Expect a careful consultation, a cut shaped to your face and the way your hair falls, and honest advice about what will be easy to live with between visits. Long, layered, shoulder-length or something in between, it starts with a conversation.
💇
Short Cuts & Restyles
Ready for a change? Going short takes a confident hand, and customers say Susan has one. A reviewer who came in for a short cut said she quickly "had a blueprint" for exactly what to do. Bring a photo if you have one, or just describe the look and how much styling time you're willing to spend each morning. You'll leave with a shape that grows out gracefully and a stylist who'll remember it next time. Restyles for a new job, a new season or simply a new mood are welcome.
💈
Men's Haircuts
Not every man wants a loud barbershop. Maganda offers clean, tidy men's cuts in a relaxed, friendly room, with the same care the shop gives everyone. Rob S. put it simply: Susan is very accommodating and knows what she's doing. Tell us how you usually wear your hair, how short you want the sides and how often you like to come in, and we'll keep it consistent visit after visit. A comfortable option for regulars who like things done right without fuss.
🌿
Trims & Upkeep
Love your current cut? Keep it that way. Regular trims take off split ends, keep layers and lines where they belong, and stop a good style from slowly drifting into a shapeless one. Many customers have been coming to Susan for years, and a stylist who sees your hair regularly learns its habits: where it grows fast, where a cowlick fights back, and how it behaves in humid Jersey summers. Ask how often she suggests coming back for your style, and book your next visit before you leave.

Cuts for Longtime & Family Regulars
Some of our most loyal customers are parents, grandparents and whole families who have trusted the same chair for years. Reviews mention mothers and older relatives who are regulars, and customers who have been going to "Tita Sue" for years. If an older relative prefers a familiar face and an unhurried, respectful visit, this is a comfortable place to bring them. Call ahead and tell us who's coming so we can plan the time well.

Pedicures
Not just hair. Pedicures are a quiet favorite at Maganda, and one happy regular joked that Susan knows her feet better than she does. Expect a relaxed, careful treatment that leaves your feet looking neat and feeling cared for, whether it's for sandal season, a special occasion or just a well-earned break from the week. As with every service, ask in the shop or call (201) 413-1301 about pricing and the best time to come in for a pedicure.
When to come in
Signs it's time for a visit
Your ends feel dry or split, and your style no longer holds its shape.
It's been six weeks or more since your last cut and you're reaching for clips and hats.
You want a change but can't decide what. That's exactly when Susan is at her best.
A wedding, graduation, job interview or family photo is coming up.
Your feet need some care before sandal season, or simply after a long week standing.
An older relative needs a cut and would be most comfortable with a familiar, patient stylist.

Looking for something not listed?
Maganda keeps its focus on cuts and pedicures, and we'd rather tell you honestly what we do than promise everything. If you're hoping for a specific styling service or treatment, call (201) 413-1301 and ask before you make the trip.
