    Finished cut and keratin treatment
    Lori W.

    Jill is fantastic. I discovered this place a few years ago on Groupon and boy am I glad I did. My hair has never been this healthy and the keratin product she uses is the reason for it. I highly recommend her to anyone.

    Sinks!

    I came here after 2 poor experiences at having Keratin treatments done - one at Arnold Wayne with Cathy, another at Lotus Salon - both in Braintree. I needed a new salon as my stylist Dennis left his last place and was nowhere to be found. Prior to Dennis, I had the same stylist for 15 years until he tried to burn his salon down for the insurance $ and was deported back to Portugal (people are crazy!!). I found Alban Hair Design, like I did Arnold Wayne and Lotus, via Groupon. I wanted a salon in Braintree or Weymouth, close to home. Normally I'd look to a friend for a referral and stop trolling Groupon, but all my friends have stick-straight hair and don't get keratin treatments. I have crazy, kinky, curly, rat's-nest-frizzy, out-of-control hair and have had so many bad experiences with stylists over my lifetime. If you have my kind of curly hair, you know what I'm dealing with and that it's really hard to find someone that actually understands how curly hair behaves. But, it's funny...as soon as I heard the owner, Jill, was Brazilian, I had a really good feeling (Keratin treatments originated in Brazil, after all and Brazilian women typically have curly hair, like me!). And just to be clear, I'm not Brazilian myself... but the entire time I was there (and I was there a little over 3 hours, as Keratin treatments, and a cut, take a loooong time), I didn't feel like that was an issue. You know what I mean if you've ever gone into a nail salon where everyone speaks another language and you wonder what they are saying, and if they are talking about you? lol. The salon is nearly in the middle of a rather busy intersection right across from the Weymouth Landing Commuter Rail stations, so you could easily miss it. It's a converted 2 family home, with the salon on the first floor. Thankfully there is some parking (not a lot) in the driveway. It was spacious, clean and appeared well stocked. There was a separate room where a woman was doing waxing, and boy was she BUSY with lots of women coming in and out while I was there. I'm not sure what other services they have, aside from hair and waxing. Jill was lovely, warm and friendly. She really made me feel right at home. She even offered me some lunch (she was just finishing when I arrived), which I politely declined. She talked with me about my hair, asked lots of questions, and listened to me about the issues I've had in the past with it (I've had Japanese relaxers, perms, you name it, over the last 30+ years). I have a weird cowlick that she pointed out (lots of stylists don't even notice or just try to pretend it's not there - do you SEE why I've had bad hair styling issues?). Jill took her time on the keratin, and even did a quick trim for me without charging me for it (I evidently had made a mistake and bought the Groupon for just a keratin, not including a cut). We talked about what products I used and she recommended two products, one of which she doesn't even carry (AHA!! not trying to sell me anything I don't need - LOVE IT!!). She even let me take a picture of the one she did carry, so I could find it later, if I decided I wanted to try it out. Most important - she took the time to show me how to style my hair to give it some body (it was UBER straight when she was done, so this was very much appreciated). She described what it should look like when it dries naturally vs. when I blow dry it, and told me that if it didn't look like that in a couple of months, to come back and she'd fix it, for free. Nobody else in 7 years of getting keratin treatments has taken the time to do all of this. I was impressed. But the real test is how did it last, right? Well, 2 months later and my hair looks great - better than it has ever looked after a keratin treatment. It's still very soft and straight. I have found my new "hair home" and I'm thrilled. Go see Jill...this place is a hidden gem! It looks like she uses FB for her website - it's https://www.facebook.com/albanhairdesign/info/?tab=overview

    Kathie is a brow /artist/!…read more I've been getting waxed for the last 4 years and have lived in 2 different states in that time. I can usually go at least 6-8 weeks without needing a wax with minimal tweezing maintenance in between. I seek expert help when I notice that my brows are slightly unsymmetrical in photos (see attached) and to the point that I don't know what to do to fix them. I recently moved to the Weymouth area and Kathie's proximity + glowing 5 star reviews suggested she'd be the right one to get me back on track. I requested an appointment here on Yelp and she responded within minutes giving me times to choose from. I saw her the next evening. It's never an easy feat when someone new is about to alter one of your most important facial features, but she made me feel comfortable right away by thoroughly explaining and showing via a mirror not only what she was going to do but also why. We also discussed my medical history that might affect the sensitivity of my skin. She brought out shape ideas that were hiding in my mismatched brows that open up my eyes and frame them even better than before. The result is attached, and I only fill them with powder. She's also very reasonably priced - the same as most waxing services I've gotten. Looking forward to radiating my renewed brow confidence and having Kathie maintain them.

    Katie is an artist! she took her time to explain me the whole process and my eyebrows are amazing!…read moreGreat place and Covid19 controls, highly recommended!

    I followed Sirlene from a chain waxing company as she opened her own business. I've been with her…read morefor years at this point. Her attention to detail is better than you'll get anywhere else. You might think the wax you're currently getting does the job, but I promise you, see her once and you'll notice a difference. She factors in what's good for you skin and she learns what your skin is like. The products she uses doesn't leave you feeling sticky/waxy and your skin post wax is still very healthy, no bumps/irritation or ingrown hairs. I swear she uses magic wax because it's pretty much painless and the best part is, it really does last! She always remembers her clients and is will be as flexible as she can be with you. Sirlene treats you like family and never makes the appointment feel rushed. Talk about feeling pampered. She's a well educated esthetician, and takes pride at being so good at her job. I could keep going but by this point, just book your appointment already and find out for yourself.

    This was the he best wax experience I could ever ask for. I've had quite a few waxes but Sirlene is…read moreabsolutely top of the line. Great at what she does. Has a wide range of time to take clients though she tends to get booked up quick. She is kind, professional, and precise. The studio is clean, quiet and private. I got a full Brazilian. It was comfortable! I was waxed using ring light and magnifier. She is amazing, truly an amazing experience that everyone deserves.
