I visited Rinse a couple weeks ago for a trim and I loved my time here! Andrea was my stylist and…read moreshe is so sweet and very easy to talk with. I told her I wanted about one and a half inches off, and she listened and gave me just what I asked for. I made the trip here from Wakefield from the city (I live just outside of Boston) and I would easily come back here despite living so close to all of the Newbury Street salons. Andrea was specifically recommended to me by a friend who has been her client for years, and I am happy I listened to her. The salon itself is super chic and very clean, and the Kevin Murphy products Andrea used in my hair smelled amazing and made my hair so smooth and soft. I will gladly return for another trim in the future.

This was my first time at Salon Nova. This will be my last time…read more Monique, the shop owner did my hair. The color came out great. The haircut is horrible. She asked what I wanted and I said to shape it up and take about an inch off. I told her that the layers needed to be shortened. She cut a very small amount and then dried my hair saying she likes to see how it falls before finishing the cut! WHAT? I explained that my bangs need to be just above my eyebrows and that they shrink when dried. She cut them so short they are well above my eyebrows when dry. My hair looks ridiculous. I have short bags and a long bob that just hangs from lack of style. The charge was $100...I think it was worth perhaps $40 for the color. Needless to say, I won't be back.

I rarely write reviews, but if others are on the fence, this salon takes Covid safety very seriously and I'm so pleased with their precautions and scheduling approach. It's incredibly refreshing to find a salon that is also environmentally conscious. I showed up today completely on the fence about what I wanted done to my overgrown, curly hair and Kimberly's experience and guidance shined through. I can't overestimate this appreciation as a curly haired lady who others don't always know what to do with. So pleased with the outcome, and thank you!

It is truly a highlight among highlights in life if you can pardon the pun! : D

I've only gotten my hair professionally done a few times in my life, and decided to fancy up a bit…read morewith an updo for the wedding of one of my best friends. Not having gotten my hair done in a full-service salon for quite some time, I naively thought I could just walk into any place and get my hair styled right away; my friends suggested the day before that I call around and make an appointment and I found out that a bunch of places are totally booked up two weeks out. Finally I happened upon Leones Hair Design. After seeing good reviews here, I gave them a call. I was a little skeptical at first...they were really affordable compared to the other places I'd looked at and they were a little too easy to schedule with...but I figured, hey, beggars can't be choosers. Well color me impressed! I apologized for not knowing a lot about hair, and showed Emily the picture of the hairstyle I wanted and tried to articulate any desires that differed from what was exactly in the image. I also asked her to keep in mind that I have really thick hair, and keeping it up and intact has been historically a Sisyphean task. In about a half hour I walked out with a great hairstyle for a great price! I was giddy about how great it had turned out -- an even better version of what I was envisioning -- and got so many compliments! About a year ago I paid for a similar style at Drybar for $90 before tip. It stayed up all right but wasn't very exciting. This one was much better and for $65! It stayed up all night through lots of dancing. I will definitely be coming back here for the next time I want to dress up! Emily is awesome!!!
