About Silked The Salon
Silked The Salon, run by stylist and owner Bonita out of a second-floor suite at 75 South Orange Square, specializes in natural hair care with a particular focus on microlinks and silk press services. The silk press specialty -- a heat-styling technique that leaves natural hair straight and glossy without chemical relaxers -- draws clients specifically seeking that finish rather than a generic blowout. Microlinks, a hair extension method using small silicone-lined rings instead of glue or heat, require precise technical skill to install without damaging natural hair, and it's one of the salon's signature offerings alongside general cuts, color, and treatments. The salon's client base extends well beyond South Orange itself, drawing from both Northern and Southern New Jersey, all five boroughs of New York City, Upstate New York, and Pennsylvania -- an unusually wide geographic pull for a single-chair or small suite salon, reflecting the specialized demand for skilled microlink and silk press work. Appointments are recommended, especially on weekends, given that draw.
Silked The Salon opened in 2018 in South Orange Village under owner and stylist Bonita, who built the business around specialized natural hair services rather than a general salon menu. Operating out of a suite in the South Orange Square building, Bonita has grown the salon's reputation specifically around microlinks and silk press work, techniques that require more specialized training than standard styling. That specialization has let the salon punch above its physical size, drawing clients from across Northern and Southern New Jersey, New York City's five boroughs, Upstate New York, and Pennsylvania rather than relying solely on the immediate South Orange area. Since opening, the salon has operated under Bonita's continuous ownership, building a following largely through word of mouth and social media around its natural hair specialty.
