I went to the new location in Arlington. I had a Groupon for a haircut, blowdry and gloss treatment. Anthony did my hair and did a wonderful job on all fronts. He gave me a beautiful cut, took his time with styling, and was very sweet and friendly. The entire experience was very pleasant and I love my cut. read more

Anthony Capalino Salon - Fresh cut and style from Anthony - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I bought a Groupon for the haircut, wash, and gloss. I called to make my appointment and I had one with Val. I also wanted to consult regarding a balayage color. Val was very attentive and took her time discussing my cut and color. I am currently experiencing postpartum hair loss, more so, thinning hair, but the cut Val gave was great. It was layered and easy to maintain being a mom of two. I'm going back Friday for my color. I am very excited! So, I finally got my color done by Val. It was great! She explained the process and showed me the colors she was going to add into my hair. We had to bleach my hair, as it's very dark- it went by quickly as I wanted more subtle colors. The color turned out great and Val did amazing. She also helped me find a shampoo to use and we found it together on Amazon, she also offered to order it in store. If you're looking for great service I definitely recommend this salon! read more

Anthony Capalino Salon - Cut and color done by Val. - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

**NOT SURE WHY THIS PLACE HAS SO MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS. PLEASE READ BELOW AND FIND OUT WHY** The only times I do post on Yelp is when I feel that my experience at a business is extraordinarily phenomenal. However, I have never had such a bad experience with a business that it has led me to feel so compelled to report it through a negative review here on Yelp. Please continue to read to see why I was not able to utilize my Groupon here at this salon. I initially purchased the Groupon because I read so many positive reviews both on Yelp and Groupon's website. Many of the reviews said that the quality of the hair services were amazing, and with a Groupon at such a great price, I wanted to receive the same services. But, how can I receive the same services if I CANNOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT with the salon? I purchased this Groupon on July 12th. I called everyday until August 12th looking for someone to help me. I called everyday during lunch-ish (between 12pm-2pm) and after work (around 5pm, they close at 7pm). I got 3 answers after calling everyday for a month: 1st Answer--7/15: The woman told me she will call me back. She said that she was the only one at the salon and has a few customers she has to take care of. I was very empathetic, and gave her my number for her to call me back later. She mumbled and rushed to get me off the phone. This was at 5pm. I waited until 7pm (when they closed) and got NO CALL BACK. ---Sends e-mail the next day to the e-mail listed on their page, asking for a call back--- (STILL NO ANSWER VIA E-MAIL TO THIS DAY) 2nd Answer--8/4: About 2 weeks later, I got someone to answer. She said that she will call me back because she was checking out a customer. I said that I understand that she is busy, but after so many calls, I am getting tired of this and that I just want to schedule an appointment. She said she "just can't," so I asked her how long it will take for her to finish checking out a customer and I do not mind staying on hold. She said "no, I cannot put minutes to this, I will call you back," takes my number and hangs up. Way too much attitude. This was around 4pm. I don't get it...she just has to take money from a customer.... and yup, NO CALL BACK. ---I got pretty pissed after that lady giving me so much attitude. I continued to call them endlessly until they closed, but still no answer. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!--- 3rd Answer--8/12: I called A LOT again....Anthony (I think), the owner, picks up. And I give this one last try to make an appointment. I am going back to school (2-hours away from Boston) and he tells me that he is booked until September. At this point, I was furious. I PURCHASED THIS GROUPON IN JULY AND COULDN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BEFORE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL THE END OF AUGUST! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? I told him what happened to me, and he seemed extremely hesitant to apologize. I even mentioned that I e-mailed them. He proceeds to make-up an excuse that their e-mail server is down and that it is posted on the website. I said that he "made-up an excuse" because after our phone call, I checked the site and it said NO WHERE that their e-mail server was not functioning. He was ALSO A WASTE OF MY TIME....no apologies offered or sympathy. The quality of their customer service is beyond me. I am not sure what kind of standard Anthony sets for his employees, but they are no where near the level of even acceptable customer service. It is ridiculous how this business has this many positive reviews. Regardless how talented they are, the quality of their customer service overshadows any and all talent that they may offer. Like what Leah said, don't give this business your money or time. Thank goodness for Groupon's customer satisfaction policy--I was able to get a refund. read more

Anthony Capalino Salon - Only a snippet of my call log that day. Out of all these calls, I had NO ANSWER!!! EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I had been searching for a salon to do a balayage for my daughter for her birthday. I was sharing this with someone at work when she mentioned Valerie at this salon. She highly recommended her so we Reached out to Val to set up an appointment. She was easy to communicate with and went out of her way to squeeze us in within a few days of me calling which was amazing! When we arrived at the salon which is inside the Assembly Sports Club, we were warmly welcomed.Val was an excellent listener when my daughter explained what she wanted and showed her a few pictures. The balayage came out beautifully and my daughter is very happy! I highly recommend Valerie and this salon. The third photo is the before photo, I was not able to move it to the first photo... read more

I had an okay experience at this salon. I have a regular salon I frequent, but wanted to see if I could try a new spot closer to my house. The woman who cut my hair was not friendly at all - there was absolutely 0 salon chair manner (bedside manner for salons?). No conversation, nothing friendly and I felt very rushed. The cut itself looks a little strange as well. So convenient to where I live, but I'm afraid I won't be a returning client. read more

Got my hair cut today by the owner, I purchased the Groupon with a local sale coupon - came out to $50. I got a little lost on the way but I found the place. It's located inside the assembly sports club. Parking can be tricky but try to go at an off hour and not weekend. I got my roots touched up, a conditioning mask and cut. It was the perfect color, I got an amazing scalp massage and the mask really helped repair my hair. The cut was exactly what I wanted, he asked me what I like, how I wear my hair. It turned out amazing, my hair looks great and healthy. He also offered me to come back for the same services at a really great price and I'm going to!!!! Love my hair and service here. read more

Anthony Capalino Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Never going back. I told Anthony I was growing my bangs out and the first thing he did was cut 1/2" off my bangs (and the lady who dried my hair blew them under instead of over so they're driving me even more crazy. Also, my groupon included a single process color (a $60 value) but I was told that only covers the roots - if there's any color left then he'd do the rest of my hair. $60 just to do the roots? Are you kidding me? Anthony was also more interested in chatting with his friends (1 of whom had been arrested!) than taking care of me. He also was wearing a gray tshirt and shorts. Not very professional. No water, tea or coffee was offered, which is standard. He also spent a lot of time answering the phone. No wonder they want you to schedule appointments via email. The rest of my haircut (besides the whole bangs issue) was good. Overall - stay away unless you're a friend of his. Calling BS on Anthony's response. Baggy grey tee, shorts, and no water/tea/coffee self serve or otherwise. And chatting with another client about his friend who had been arrested? Um, yup. read more

I got my hair cut here a while back and had a decent experience. First, it's hella hard to find. I think someone else noted this, and they must get calls about it all the time, because it's in a large corporate building that doesn't have its address on it and then the signage inside is lacking. Further, it's inside the gym there, so if you're headed here, just call when you're in the vicinity to save yourself the headache. While the salon is in a weird space, it's actually quite nice. I had a great wash by Ashley and then Anthony talked to me about my hair. Like, we had a serious, sit down chat about how I normally style it, what products I use to wash and style, how often I blow dry and straighten, where I part it .. I ended up getting a basic cut, the split ends off and a little more styling. While my experience was great, I'm a simple girl and can't believe a hair cut costs $80. I had to mention the special they were running for new clients (25% off, I believe) instead of having it automatically giving it to me. It was a really enjoyable experience, but I felt I got the same results as I have gotten at much less expensive establishments. read more

I had a hard time finding this salon since it's located in a big building without any signs outside. Even after you walk into the building this salon isn't listed on the directory but luckily there is a security guard there that was helpful in directing me to the right location: it is in assembly sports club! Weird.. After getting over the fact that it's in a gym, I actually liked my haircut. The stylist, Marta, was really friendly and she really knew what she was doing. She gave me suggestions on how to cut my hair and showed me new products that I could use. Why 3 stars? Well..I booked an appt for 4:30 and wasn't seen until 6pm. I understand that a stylist left for an emergency and Marta was the only one working so everything got backed up but it was still frustrating waiting so long. I got a call as I was driving to the salon around 4pm that they were running late and if I could move my appt back a bit. I asked if 5pm was okay and they said definitely! So I killed some time at the outlets and got to the salon at 4:50 and the stylist told me it would be another 30-45 minutes but I could go somewhere and she would call me to tell me when to come back. I go back to the outlets and 1hr later..no call. At 6pm, I go back to the salon and figured I'd just wait there and she was finally able to see me. I don't blame the stylist at all because she was doing all she can to accommodate to the clients but it was definitely frustrating waiting 1.5 hrs after my original appt. I probably won't be back in case this happens again but I was happy with my first cut here. read more

I've gone to a different hair dresser for years and was super anxious to try a new place out. Anthony's salon is in my work building so I figured I'd give it a shot, even though I doubted that somewhere so convenient would also be good. Man, was I proven wrong. Anthony is a really cool guy who takes a lot of pride in his work. He's been in the industry for about 20 years and it shows. I went for a cut, and like a typical obnoxiously vague customer I said "I kinda want it shorter, but don't want to look like a mom..." and he somehow turned that into an incredible cut that is both tasteful and hip. (I'm 23 if that matters to anyone looking). I was extremely pleasantly surprised and will definitely go back again. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great cut! read more

I purchased a groupon for a haircut, blow-dry, and moroccan oil treatment. Having recently relocated to Boston, I was really nervous to try a new stylist. But upon entering Anthony's salon, I was immediately at ease. It's modern and clean and Anthony is both welcoming and friendly. We first sat down to discuss what I wanted to do with my hair. I told him a little about how my previous stylist would cut it, how my hair is very thick and heavy, and that I didn't want a style that would give me a workout each morning. I wanted something easy to maintain, but cute and updated from my regular angled bob. Anthony talked to me the whole time and asked questions about my life, but wasn't nosy by any means. I like being able to talk to my stylists and get to know them too, so it's nice that we could chat. As far as my cut goes, I love it! He took out a ton of bulk, chipped in some nice layers at the bottom, and instead of a boring 'do, I now have a more refreshed, lighter version of my bob. As I was leaving, I went to purchase some styling cream and leave a tip, but realized I had completely forgotten my debit card. I told him I was so sorry and would come back after retrieving my card from my house. Anthony was totally fine with that, and even let me take home the product, trusting me to call with my card info later. That's pretty awesome! I wish he did color but I trust that his colorists are just as good with hair as he is! *tip* you have to go into the fitness center to get to the salon. read more

Anthony is really good and quite thoughtful. Lot of fun, very friendly, a guy you like right away. He helps you think about your hair style after your appointment and hooked me up with techniques to keep the style from just imploding. He's pretty bloody expensive, though--he's a special occasions kind of place for me. read more

I went to Anthony Capalino Salon a year ago with severally damaged hair from another local salon crying my eyes out! I can't say enough about Val and Anthony and because of them I am on my way to having healthy hair again. They are truly amazing! They really care about how you feel and what you want. My daughter is also a client and her hair was beyond damaged (Hair was falling out from a over-processed balayage that she went back to the salon to have toned down after paying over $300.00 dollars for orange hair and charged again $50.00 for a blow dry - they said it wasn't included in the fix of the color) I recommend my daughter to go to Val and Anthony. Val worked with my daughter's hair and told her what not to use while it was so fragile and how to care for it. Again, Anthony and Val are a dream team come true especially after the experience we had at a hair salon which was not a serenity at all. They just tries to make money off of you and truly does not care about it's clients. GO TO ANTHONY CAPALINO SALON... THEY TRULY DO CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS. The atmosphere is always friendly and you meet some really great people as well! If I could give it 100 STARS I would! read more

This place is amazing I'm always looking around for a good place to get my hair done. I have been going here for almost a year and I couldn't be happier. This is place is a gem. Anthony gives Newbury Street quality cuts without the hassle of looking for a spot to park your car. read more

Surprised by negative reviews. For those who have visited and had a less-than-stellar experience, I urge you to have Anthony cut or color your hair. He styles my long hair and my mother's pixie-short hair beautifully. I have also had two successful keratin treatments from him. Anthony has been my stylist for 10 years. The salon is no-frills but intimate. There is ample parking in the Assembly Square location. The salon is located inside Planet Fitness. (I imagine once the new Assembly Square opens the location may not seem so "hidden"--get in while you can!) And even better than his styling, Anthony is the most adorable and sweetest stylist I have ever known! read more

I went to Anthony for a Brazilian Blowout and could not be happier with the results. Before we started the treatment he answered the hundreds of questions I had about the treatment and put me at ease right away. Before he did anything, he would describe in detail what he was doing so there weren't any surprises. I really appreciated that I wasn't pressured into buying anything. I only ended up buying shampoo and conditioner after I asked about it. Usually salons try to sell you everything under the sun. I couldn't be happier with my hair and can't stop playing with it. The best part about the salon is FREE PARKING! read more

A friend recommended me to this place after using their Groupon deal. I have been going to the same hair stylist since I was 8 years old. We moved to Mass about a little over a year ago, and I'm ashamed to say, I didn't get a haircut for almost 2 years (because a) was growing it out for my wedding and b) I was too nervous to find someone new!). After getting the Groupon, I arrived at the correct address. My only tip to AC is to put a sign or have the security guard say that the salon is INSIDE the fitness center, but otherwise, I had no issues. Kerry was my stylist and I will tell you right now, I will most definitely be going back. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I've never been happier with a haircut before. My previous stylist usually took around three hours to do my haircuts. It took Kerry an hour and it is perfect. I highly recommend her and the salon itself. My hair feels so healthy and wonderful again! read more

I have been searching for quite a while for someone new to do my hair since my stylist of 7 years moved out of Boston. I have tried several stylists and salons over the past year and a half, and am so happy to have come across Anthony's salon. He gave me exactly the cut I have been looking for, and I'm loving the color. He doesn't waste time...listens and gets right to business. The salon can be a bit tough to find, as it's in an unmarked building, and then in a gym. I would not have come across his salon had I not initially seen it on Groupon. Luckily I did find him though! I'm hoping the rates won't go way up once I go as a non-groupon customer...if not he may be stuck with me for quite a while! read more

One word , Marta! I just walked out of there 5 minutes ago and I feel like a million bucks! Love love her! She listened to what I wanted, gave me good advices on how to manage my hair and she did an amazing job with my color and cut. No complaints at all. I've been searching for a great stylist for so long and I think I finally found one. I will definitely be back. Marta ! Marta! Marta! and she's super funny. read more

I'm going to start this review by acknowledging that I have a hair stylist back in my hometown that I have been going to since 6th grade. I needed a cut bad and didn't know when I could go make time to schedule with her so opted for doing a little research and stumbled on this salon. One word: amazing! I made an appointment after purchasing the Groupon and landed an appointment with Anthony (the owner of the Salon). I'm honestly appalled at any of the negative reviews. This place was clean, modern, and the staff were friendly. Anthony asked me what I wanted and went above and beyond my expectations. I received the Moroccan Oil treatment and my hair was smooth for a week! Anthony did an incredibly job blowing out my hair -- and let me tell you I have hair as think as 10 people combined! I will definitely go back here!! read more

Used my Living Social deal to get a wash, cut and blowdry. Candace was great on the phone and in person- friendly and funny, easy to chat with. She took a lot of time listening to what I wanted and making sure the cut was perfect. Will go back to see her again! Location Pros: lots of free parking, right in Assemby Square, The salon has a nice style. Location Cons: may be hard to find for people who don't know the area, the salon is a bit shabby in areas (hair on the floor at 9am? From the previous day?). read more

I went there to get a new hairstyle I got a really really short haircut and I loved it!! The only problem was that since it was cut with the "razor" tool (sorry, I don't know the correct name for it) and I have a lot of hair, it took a lot of patience to grow it back since the shorter hair was "pushing" the front one and I felt like a mushroom for a while ;) Since I wanted to grow it back I haven't go back there but I will!! read more

I would go to Planet Fitness and always see the Salon and always thought about getting my hair cut here. I always thought that it seemed like it was not a place for a guy and and for women only. Then one day I was desperate for a haircut and was in a bind so I thought I would give them a chance. Anthony already had appointments but he said he could take me right then and there. My haircut came out great but most importantly I was wrong about my initial impression of the salon. So many times you get your haircut at places and the conversations you have are so awkward. With Anthony its like hes one of the guys. We talk about the Red Sox losing, Fantasy Football, and even Video Games (Madden). I recommend Anthony's over any place in the Somerville, MA area. read more

Anthony was great. Went with a Groupon and ended up tipping 20 bucks because I loved the service and the cut. Received so many compliments for the cut :) read more

Anthony has been cutting my hair for 4 years now. He is absolutely amazing! Every where I go someone ALWAYS asks me who does my hair. My hair is wicked curly, whether i blow dry it straight of leave it down curly it always looks outstanding b/c Anthony knows exactly how to cut it so it will look good either way. Tired of your boring cut, or just don't know what to do next?? Ask for Anthony and tell him to cut it as he feels is right!!! FIVE STARS!!!! Thanks Anthony! read more

After searching for a new stylist in Boston for weeks, I found the perfect match. Anthony is amazing. I definitely came in with a challenge, my hair was damaged and very difficult to maintain. Anthony greeted me with a smile and took my coat, and got right to work with out any wait. He matched my color perfectly with a rich color. I've been to many stylist including my close friends, and family who could give me the cut I left with. I have to say hands down the best cut I've ever received. Very relaxing atmosphere, and the staff made me feel very comfortable. I almost fell asleep during the shampoo with a relaxing scalp massage! The styling I for at the end of my visit was amazing and easy to replicate on my own! Thank you so much Anthony I will absolutely be returning and spreading the word, Anthony is the person to see if your looking for perfect color, cut, and style! read more

**Disclaimer: I did not get a haircut here; read below and you'll learn why.** I bought a Groupon and called to set up an appointment a week or so ago and the person I spoke to was not at all friendly. He wasn't rude, but the customer service gene was clearly lacking. Fine, whatever, I made an appointment anyway. It is Boston after all, and we're not known for our warmth. Fast forward to today: I'm on my way to my appointment in bumper to bumper traffic and my car starts to smoke and shake. I pull over to call AAA and the salon to reschedule my appointment, as I clearly won't make it in time due to my current situation. The woman who answered the phone was legitimately the RUDEST person I've encountered in a very long time. She didn't state her name, was very short and extremely condescending, and seemed extremely pissed I was cancelling, regardless of the fact that I told her I was having car troubles. She not only wasn't warm or kind at all, she didn't ask if I wanted to reschedule, and then when I said "Thank you" she proceeded to hang up on me! Seriously?! When I called back to ask to speak to a manager, she said (drumroll please) SHE IS THE MANAGER! Well good luck Anthony Capolino salon, because although you might employ great stylists and some other line level employees, you're lucky you even get anyone through your doors with the vapid, callous attitude of the people who man your phones. I immediately cancelled my Groupon and booked an appointment at another salon closer to home whose employees already give me better vibes. Will the haircut be as good? Maybe it will and maybe it won't, but either way I know the experience will be better. Don't give this place your money. read more

I had the worst hair cut of my life here. First off, the salon is located in a weird location in a kind of rundown office building. The salon looked like it had been remodeled recently and would have been nice but it was dirty - cardboard boxes piled up near the front desk, scuffed up floor, dust bunnies in the corners, pen marks all over the front desk. I should have turned around and ran at that point. I was scheduled for a cut and color. I told the stylist (Marta) that I wanted a long bob with the back a little shorter than the front. She did the exact opposite of what I wanted, telling me at the end "I know this is not want you wanted but I think you'll have fun with it". It was basically a mullet cut and to me, there's nothing fun about having a mullet. I'll say the color was fine. However, when I was getting ready to leave the owner said to the stylist, "I think you missed some color on her face". The stylist was like "no, that's a birthmark on her face." I looked into the mirror and saw a huge smear of hair color on my cheek - obviously not a birthmark. She did her best to rub it off and in the meantime gave me rug burn on my face. I didn't even want to stay to tell them what a crappy experience this was as I don't think they really cared anyway. After all this was a cheapy Groupon deal. I decided to cut my losses and chalk it up as a life lesson that you get what you pay for. read more

Anthony was amazing! I went with a groupon just to try it out and although finding it was tricky (follow signs for the health club), he did great job and made me feel like a valued customer. He really listened to what I wanted and delivered 100% what I was describing. I hate it when hair dressers are paternalistic and don't think you know what you want (and leave my hair way longer than I wanted it because they think they know better). Anthony was patient and very skilled. Probably the best experience I've had with a salon in years! read more

Making long story short just want to say i went there for keratin treatment and haircut.And if my hair is nice and shiny itself just little fuzzy sometimes and i decided to give it little treatment before my overseas trip for my birthday celebration.Keratin didn't last even one week!!!!!!!And my hair looked like a hay after.Service was OK.Place was empty and weird location. read more

I had an incredible experience at the Anthony Capalino salon last Saturday. Kerry did my color. She was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted. She gave me the best head massage when she was rinsing the color out! I wish more places did that. It was heavenly. Anthony cut my hair. He is so amazing at it! Best cut I've had in years. My hair has great shape and is easy to deal with. I could not be happier. Great people, very chill vibe, and they are experts at what they do. read more

First of all, this place is impossible to find. Both from the perspective of getting to the little cluster of businesses that it resides in, and then figuring out where amidst all the entrances and all that you're supposed to find it. I did finally find it (it's inside the gym), and service was prompt and courteous. This place is nice, although a tad no-frills. Totally ok, because I was there with a LivingSocial coupon and it was a good deal. The haircut wasn't bad, but I told her that I always end up with the same layers-with-bangs look and wanted to try something else, but she didn't really come up with much because she said my face shape couldn't handle it. While I know my face shape makes it difficult, I know it's not impossible! So I got the same haircut I usually get (long layers with side bangs), and it was fine. It didn't really "last" as long as some other almost identical haircuts I've gotten (as in, it was only about a month before it started looking kind of haggard and grungey), but oh well. It's not terrible, they didn't use any razors (which is my biggest fear at hair salons). read more

i've been thinking a lot if i should write this review or not, but i really don't want anyone to feel the way i'm feeling right now with their haircut. i went to the salon yesterday (02/20) to have a haircut. Valeria was the one that did my hair. she seemed very nice as a person but some points about my appt with her made me feel uncomfortable. for example, while she was cutting my hair, i was on my phone watching stories on instagram, my screen brightness was so low that i don't know how she was able to see what i was doing on my phone and even made a comment about it. i was like "excuse me?" but i didn't say anything, just laughed to not make her uncomfortable. and then it comes the worst part. when she made the comment i looked up and notice how short my hair was. i was so chocked that i couldn't say anything. i showed her a lot of inspiration pics of how i wanted my hair to look like and i made it clear that i wanted to keep the length as much as possible, just cutting the dead ends. she said she was going to cut 1in and when i realized she had cut about over 4in, i'm not kidding. then comes the next horror show, the time she cut my bangs... oh my gosh! i don't even now how to describe it! she got a HUGE chunk of hair in one of the sides and cut it so now i have bangs where i shouldn't on the side of my hair. also, the ends of my hair is SO uneven, she even made layers that are longer on one side comparing to the other. i really don't know how to describe my hair right now, is literally HORRIBLE and it put my selfesteem so so low. i just don't want anyone else to feel like this. it is so frustrating going to a salon, where you expect getting out of there feeling better, but you get out feeling awful and you even paid for your it which makes things worse lol. my point is, i don't know if valeria is in the beginning of her carrier or what, but i do think if maybe she paid more attention and wasn't looking to my phone instead of my hair she could've done a better job because this was the worst haircut i ever got in my life! besides that, the place was nice, everyone treated me well but i'm never coming back. i'm just counting the days for my hair to grow up and i feel better about it again! read more

LOVE my Brazilian blowout by Anthony! In the past year I have gone from black to platinum blonde and back to my natural brown - my hair was so over-procceced and frizzy I rarely would even wear it down. Now my hair is super soft and air dries wavy and smooth. This salon is in a convenient location with easy parking, has very fair pricing, and professional, friendly staff - I'll definitely be back. read more

I experienced this place via LivingSocial. The first week I went for a wash, cut, color, blowdry. I told the receptionist ahead of time I wanted the Ombre color (for those who don't know It is a two-tone color that almost looks like you let you roots grow out reallly far). I have no clue why they would give a new customer an inexperianced color stylist instead of their "color expert." Needless to say, I explained that I wanted a my color to go from my natural dark brown to a lighter brown. My hair is now brown to blonde with the tips going back to brown again. The "color-expert" even had to stop the stylist from using the wrong type of color. I had ZERO hair color in my hair so I have no clue what she did to make it three tone and very unnatural looking. Moving on - the cut was supposed to be a trim and she showed me how much she was going to cut. Somewhere along the line she went over the original cut three or four more times cutting about 4 inches total. For the ladies who have extra long hair, they can understand how this can be heartbreaking. The time for the color was so underestimated that I had to come back for the blowdry the next day because it was so late when she got finished. The blowdry was about the only thing that went smooth - no pun intended Having also already bought the Keratin treatment on LivingSocial, I was forced to give the solan another chance to redeem themselves. I dont know what the name of the Keratin treatment is that they used but it didn't work and I've had a few treatments to know how it is supposed to work. My hair is not smoother and requires the same amount of time to blowdry. As for the "Newbury feel"...No! There wasn't even a coat rack, most of the girls looked like they just entered the business, the profanity made me feel like I was hanging out at football game not a high-end salon, the ventilation was poor, and one stylist was even spray tanning herself in the mirror in between clients. Not to mention the obvious - very difficult to find! read more

I feel guilty giving the salon a poor review, but I have spent all day using Yelp to find a salon to fix what happened to my hair at this one. So I felt it was only fair. I have very plain hair and I am not very picky. I went into the salon looking for a bit of a change. I have brown hair and wanted to dye my hair a darker warmer brown for winter. The hair swatches the hair dresser showed me were black! And that is absolutely not what I wanted... so then I made a fatal mistake... I said maybe it could be a bit red. What I really meant was brown... I just wanted dark brown hair. Well at the end of a brutal 2 hour trip to the hairdresser I now have light brown hair with an aweful brassy orange hue. And the worst part... it was permanent! I should have come with a better picture of what I wanted, but I don't think there is any reason I should have ended up with a gingerish hue when I went in for a darker brown. I hope that helps someone else! Now back to looking for someone I can trust to fix it! read more

I created a yelp account just to write a review about this place. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! I went there to get ombre hair, showed her a couple pictures of what I wanted to get and specifically told her I do not want it to look brassy. I thought it was going to be easy since I didn't dye my hair in over 3 years. I had product in my hair for over an hour and a half and the result was awful. Now I have orange and damaged hair and have spent a ton of money on hair treatments. I regret it so much and I will never go back there. read more

I had a living social for a wash, cut and deep conditioning treatment and needed a cut badly. I was greeted when I walked in and offered coffee/water/tea. It was a snowy afternoon so there was only one stylist working so I had to wait 20 minutes or so. Once I was in the chair, the consultation I had with the stylist went perfect, sounded like she was going to do exactly what I wanted. Once it was time for my cut, she didn't do what I asked or what we talked about! Thank god I had the coupon because I would not have wanted to pay full price for the cut. I wont be going back. read more

I went here about a year ago and was so excited to go back because they did such a great job the first time. I had Marta as my stylist both times and she is AWESOME! I love what she did to my hair and I really appreciate the fact that she listened to what I wanted to do and considered my hair and my opinions when she decided what to do. A lot of hair salons make me feel like they just want to get it done and don't consider things like my hair texture, length, current color, etc. Marta took my ideas and tweaked them to perfectly fit what I wanted! I got a bob type hair cut with an ombre color and I was nervous it would look fake but she blended the colors so well and I love it! It took a long time and it was expensive but it was definitely worth it- and I can't wait to go back! Marta was very friendly and it was a great experience- and I can't thank her enough for saving my hair! =) read more

I had Candace and she was great! She paid attention to what I wanted and was super nice. Most personable hair stylist ever! Hard to find. It's inside the gym. read more
