Our Talented Team

Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’ve had the absolute joy of working in the beauty industry for over 37 years—and for the past 21 of those, I’ve had the honor of being the owner of Razberri’s Salon. My journey started right here as a passionate young stylist, and through a whole lot of heart, hustle, and love for this space, I worked my way up to where I am today.

‍

I’m proud to say that I still do it all—styling behind the chair, jumping in at the front desk, washing bowls in the back, and most importantly, supporting the team that has become my second family. To me, leadership isn’t about being above anyone—it’s about lifting others up and showing up wherever I’m needed.

‍

Education has always been my foundation. I’ve taken ongoing advanced classes every year since 1991, and I never stop learning. I don’t call myself the best—but I’ll always strive to grow, create, and give my clients the very best experience possible.

‍

Outside the salon, I live a full and beautiful life with my husband, my three grown sons, and our blended family, including my incredible stepdaughter. We love to travel, enjoy the little luxuries of life, and stay grounded in gratitude and togetherness.

‍

More than anything, I’m a lover of all things beautiful—from the inside out. I believe beauty is about how we treat people, how we care for ourselves, and how we connect with the world around us.

‍

Razberri’s is more than a salon—it’s a place of warmth, connection, and transformation. Grab a coffee by the fireplace, browse our boutique, and settle in while we help you look and feel your absolute best.

‍

People often ask why I still work behind the chair after all this time. The truth is simple: because I genuinely love what I do. The relationships, the stories, the smiles—those are what keep me going every single day.

‍

This life has been built with love, faith, and a whole lot of heart—and I’m so grateful to live it doing what I love, surrounded by people I cherish.

My true love? A beautiful, bouncy blowout. Whether it’s for a special night out or the perfect finishing touch to a fresh color or cut, I believe nothing beats that confident, polished feeling a great blowout gives.

Hi, I'm Billy Cardone and I'm a Toms River local with a passion for making people look and feel amazing! My journey in the beauty industry began as a barber in Asbury Park, where I honed my craft and discovered my love for the transformative power of great hair. Now I'm excited to be back to my roots (no pun intended) in my hometown, offering comprehensive hair services for all individuals who walk through my door.

‍

What started as traditional barbering has evolved into a full-service experience. From vibrant color work and dimensional highlights that catch the light beautifully, to voluminous blowouts that last for days, I've expanded my expertise to serve every hair need. For my gentlemen clients, I still specialize in those crisp men's cuts, precision fades, and detailed beard trims that I perfected during my Asbury days – each one tailored to complement your face shape and lifestyle.

‍

Being back in Toms River means everything to me. There's something special about serving the community where I grew up, understanding the local culture, and building genuine relationships with my neighbors. Whether you're a busy parent squeezing in a quick trim between soccer practices, a professional preparing for an important presentation, or someone ready to completely reinvent their look, I approach each appointment with the same level of care and attention.

‍

I am deeply committed to making sure your experience in my chair is relaxing, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. The salon shouldn't feel like a chore – it should be your escape, your moment of self-care in an otherwise hectic schedule. I believe the best hair happens when you're at ease, which is why I've cultivated an atmosphere where conversation flows naturally, laughter is encouraged, and you can truly unwind.

‍

What drives me most is that collaborative process of creating a personal style for you that will brighten anyone's eyes – including your own when you look in the mirror. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, I take the time to understand your hair texture, your daily routine, your styling preferences, and your lifestyle needs. Together, we'll craft a look that not only makes you feel incredible when you leave my chair, but continues to work for you day after day.

‍

I look forward to sharing laughs together, getting to know your story, and becoming your trusted partner in looking and feeling your absolute best. Because at the end of the day, great hair isn't just about the cut or color – it's about the confidence that comes with knowing you look amazing, and the joy of working with someone who genuinely cares about helping you shine.

‍

Proudly serving Toms River, and all of Ocean & Monmouth Counties, NJ.
