This is my go-to salon and I recommend them to everyone! Firstly, it's gorgeous inside. The owner (Amanda) is amazing and I always try to get in with her but if she's not available, I know I'm in great hands with everyone else there. Shanie, Michelle and the rest of the team are wonderful. Once you go here often enough, you feel at home when you walk in and everyone is like fam! My daughter also goes here and always feels comfortable with the stylists. Huge fan Aqua! read more

This is an incredible salon with the nicest people. My stylist who I have been seeing for years, Skye is absolutely incredible. She is a color master!!! My hair gets healthier and healthier the more I go to her. I cannot say enough about her or this salon- check it out for yourself it's so good read more

First time at Aqua Salon and I was blown away!!! Had a consult with Amanda and decided to book a color apt. with her. She took the time to explain everything to me before we started (at our consult) and was easy to talk to. She also answered all my questions regarding the treatments and process. The color came out crazy good, shiny and vibrant, something I had been looking for for a while. She also gave me a bit of a reshape of my current cut which came out terrific as well. The salon itself is cutting edge, beautifully decorated and very clean. The other stylists seem very sweet and engaging. Walked out of the salon with soft, shiny, beautiful hair! Have booked again and will continue to do so in the future. read more

Katarina gave me a wonderful long layered haircut and gave me tips on how to blow dry and style it at home. The photo is two weeks after and I am so happy with being able to recreate the look myself with her styling advice. Highly recommend her! read more

Amanda is amazing! My hair color looked so great even 2 months after my appointment (which in my experience was not the case when I went to other salons), and then it looked even better when I got it touched up! If you're looking for blonding, this salon is where you need to go!! read more

I have been a client of Aqua Salon for 5 years.  I have enjoyed a pleasant and friendly relationship with Sara, one of the stylists.  I have brought her 3 clients, given her generous tips and gifts and have been a trouble free client.    On my last visit to her I inquired about the price increase in color services.  She became defensive and snippy and acted insulted that I would ask.  I let it go knowing that she is always polite and perhaps she was not herself as that was not her usual demeanor.   I then sent a text a few days later asking her if her haircut prices would increase as well.  I was very disappointed in her response.  She said twice that she was insulted and that I must think she's not worthy of her prices.  She said she's not a "middle of the road" stylist and doesn't work at a "cheap salon".  WOW never expected such a rude response.   It's perfectly acceptable to inquire about prices as a consumer,  and a polite response would have been appreciated.  I would have remained Sara's client despite the increase in prices given that she's done an excellent job on my hair and I understand that prices do increase. I thought that the owner might be interested to know what transpired between us so I sent her an email explaining the situation.  Thus far I have not received a reply . It takes  no time to respond to soothe a disappointed client. I had not intended to go online with my experience but because of the lack of response from the owner I decided to do so.  I cannot recommend this salon. read more

I am so upset with this salon. I am a new client and on the same day I was working when I was supposed to get out around 12. I ended up gettig out later than anticipated as I am an NURSE AND HAD SICK PATIENTS. I called and told them I was getting out later and to push back my appointment. I get to the salon hoping to at least reschedule and sk they would understand that I was coming straight from work in my scrubs. The guy who was supposed to do my hair had left and if I was to reschedule with him I would have to pay the $250 or whatever it was for the appointment I missed. Mind I made this appointment two days ago and all of the circumstances were out of my control as my patient was literally dying. I am so disappointed in this business and this policy. I will never support this business as I had called and even went to the salon IN PERSON TO TRY AND RESCHEDULE. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's a great one stop shop for hair, waxing and facials. Amelia has been doing my hair for years so I knew I had to follow her here and ended up falling in love with Kim as well. I've gone to Amelia for cuts, color and updos and I've always left with a smile on my face. I have very straight hair that usually won't curl to save my life and she always somehow makes it work. I love that she's not scissor happy like some other hair stylists and she doesn't insist on what she "thinks would be perfect for me." She listens to what I want and makes sure I love what she's done. I've had some traumatic hair experiences so finding someone that listens and takes your feelings and self confidence into consideration is a God send. I literally cannot recommend her enough! Not only is she incredible at what she does she's sweet as pie which always makes for a better experience. I Love this girl! As for waxing and facials Kim is awesome! I've had someone interesting eyebrows after a hack wax job but that is not a worry with her. I've actually received eyebrow compliments (which I never realized was a thing). Kim also did my first facial and if it was acceptable to get one everyday I totally would! I'm obsessed with this place and if you're looking for a nice treat for yourself it's definitely worth the appointment! read more

Let me just preface this review by saying that my aunt is a hairdresser and has been doing my hair for my entire life. Eventually I realized that living in MA while she lives in NY meant that I had to find a local salon. I was randomly on groupon one day and noticed Aqua on there. I had heard good things from my bf's co-worker who gets her hair done here...so it was the push I needed to bite the bullet. When I called to make the appt. they were booking a few weeks out, but I was able to make a Friday morning appt. at 10am with Liz. I showed up and Liz wasn't there yet, but I only waited probably 5-10 minutes which wasn't a big deal. I had purchased the cut with partial color on groupon, knowing I'd probably want full highlights, so I described what I wanted to Liz and she went to town. She spent 90 minutes (I have extremely long hair) foiling my hair. Then she spent awhile doing a great cut with some layers and angles. I have a hard time explaining what I like since my aunt just knows me and does whatever she wants....so I was definitely skeptical that I'd get what I wanted here. I had mentioned how much I like my hair curled but never have the time to do it, and after Liz finished my hair, she offered to curl it - which I loved! My hair looked so healthy and clean and fresh, and it was just what I needed. She ended up charging $40 extra for the additional color, which was well worth it. I will absolutely be back for my next cut or color! :-) read more

I have been going here for two years and everyone is so friendly, they definitely know what they are doing! Specially my girl Sara Veiga check out her work on her Instagram @golden_hair09! She's great! A perfectionist to the finest! I usually let her do what she thinks is best because she knows what my hair needs. If it needs a break she would tell me, and if she sees great options she sees on random days she would show them to me to give me ideas of what would look best! Seriously what other hair stylist does this ? She is amazing ! If there were more stars I'd give them all to her! read more

Having just moved to MA, naturally, I was a bit nervous to go to a new hair salon. I was recommended to Aqua salon by a friend and couldn't have had a better experience! I immediately fell in love with this place! Sara is really amazing at what she does! She asked me how I wanted the length and style prior to making any cuts and completely transformed my hair to exactly what I had envisioned and more. I came in to the salon nervous, but left feeling absolutely glamorous! All thanks Sara! If your looking for an amazing hair cut, blow out and style I would highly recommend Sara! read more

As a mom of three it is VERY rare that I get my hair done, but Breanna brought my hair BACK to life, this is probably the best my hair has looked in a LONG time, it's usually just thrown up in a bun and I couldn't be more grateful for this boost in my confidence. Also, I didn't catch her name but one of the receptionists really went above and beyond for me, she sat with my kids while they colored as I was getting my hair done and I could cry at how much I appreciated it. It's so hard taking them places like this because it's a vulnerable postion to be in with three toddlers but she really helped me just sitting with them and that made my experience that much more amazing. I will be going back for sure and will definitely be telling friends!! read more

I love this hair salon! I go to the new salon they just opened on bridge street in Beverly. I see Sara Veiga and she is awesome!! Very friendly and takes her time. The owner Amanda is also very sweet. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone for their hair cutting needs! Never disappoints. read more

I have been to both Sara and Ashley for cut and color and have been very happy both times. They are both very talented and really listened to what I was hoping to achieve. I highly recommend these two ladies and their prices are very reasonable. read more

I've been to the Aqua Salon in Salem, and it was a wonderful experience. I figured the one in Beverly would be great too, since it's the same owners and same standard. I was correct! Sky cut and blow dried my hair and I couldn't be happier. I left feeling like a new person and my hair looked and felt great. Thank you, Sky! I'll be sure to come back to Aqua next time! read more

I wanted to overwhelmed with joy. I mean, that's how a (future) bride is supposed to feel when her hair is done, right? Sadly, I left with one of those fake smiles you put on to get out of uncomfortable situations. So, location...where the hell is this place? Even my GPS couldn't find it. I was on my way to Marblehead before I figured it out. The interior is really nice and relaxing and all of the employees I met were super nice, which made this situation even worse because like I said, I really wanted to not just like this place, but LOVE it. I brought in some photos of bridal updos that I love and explained what I liked about each of them, hoping for a sort of composite between two of them. It should have been simple. Instead, I ended up with a crooked tiara (she couldn't get it to sit straight and kept making it worse - like she didn't get that the reflection in the mirror is OPPOSITE the direction you should move something). She left my bangs hanging limply in my face, which just looked sloppy and unflattering. And I don't know entirely what she did to the back, but it looked like a burnt challah loaf. No lie! In short, it looked absolutely nothing like the photos I showed her. I graciously paid and allowed her to make an appoinment which I will be canceling. What really put the nail in the coffin was that although I explained several times that my mother would need an appointment for a blowout only (as she is a cancer patient and will not have long hair by then unless by some stroke of magic she wakes up with Jessica Simpson-esque locks), they insisted on booking her as a bridal updo. I'm not sure what they're expecting to put up since I explained that her hair will only be a few inches by then (if we're lucky). UGH UGH UGH UGH I hope I have the exact opposite experience at Aveda next week when I go for my trial there. read more

I purchased the Groupon for a $39 facial as part of their grand re-opening to Aqua Salon and Spa. I have never heard of this salon before so I thought it was worth a try and the discount price for the facial was good. I arrived and noticed how fresh everything looked. It was a very calming and relaxing space. Kim, the Aesthetician, came to greet me and take me back to the spa room. Once past the reception area, this place is huge. The spa room was very nice and the lighting was perfect. Kim looked over the paperwork I completed and we started. It was AMAZING! The products were lovely and felt fabulous. The massage aspect of the facial was very nice, I even fell asleep. It was really nice and much needed with a 5 month old at home. I also had a brow and lip wax and that went well. I was pleased. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the spa room needed a bit more soundproofing. You could hear everything that was taking place in the salon and that made it a bit uncomfortable. There was music in the room but I could still hear loud talking and the shampoo bowls outside the room. Overall, I would recommend Kim and Aqua for the spa component. I did make a follow-up appointment for a month from now. Even the next day (today) my skin feels fabulous. read more

I have been going to Aqua for a few years since I now live and work in Salem. I went through a few different hairdressers there - the first one was great, but she moved. Her recommended replacement seemed annoyed to be dealing with people in general (a good haircut, just an uncomfortable personality). So for my next appointment I asked for someone else and was thankfully put into Janelle's talented hands. Janelle is THE BEST! I always leave happy with my haircuts and you can tell she's passionate about what she does. She is easy to talk to and realistic about any changes you want to do. (The customer is always right - but if you lack proper judgement, she'll guide you gently to reality so you don't leave looking like a fool). She has also done a fancy little side-swept 'do for a special event and it was even better than picture. It held up through rigorous dancing (without looking like a helmet). I got compliments on it all night! Recently, I wanted a drastic change and decided to go blonde this summer (I'm naturally very dark brunette/black). I wouldn't even think about doing this unless I REALLY trusted my stylist. We talked extensively about expectations, treatments, color chemistry etc. I was aware this wouldn't be an overnight process and wanted to do it right without frying my hair. We've been lightening my base hair color little by little each month to gradually before proceeding to all over highlights for the final desired look. I am thrilled with it each step of the way - and I think she's even more excited about the transitions than I am at this point! She is just a doll to work with - friendly, professional, flexible, talented and extremely knowledgeable. Also, I must say, after years of paying Boston salon prices for lackluster results, it's nice to go some place reasonably priced with results I always love. (I think I had reverse sticker shock the first time I went). read more

I just moved to Beverly, was looking for a new salon, and was super optimistic about this place after reading reviews. But I was severely disappointed. I have natural brown hair and went in for a partial highlight and haircut. I uploaded a picture of my haircut that they tried to send me away with. See below. I cannot even believe it! I could never walk around with hair like that. My whole experience was terrible. My stylist was gossiping about her co-workers to a male stylist half the time she was doing my hair. It really made me wonder about the professionalism of this place. Also, when she shampooed my hair she was not even paying attention. One of my earrings was ripped out of my ear during the wash. I already had to wait for someone else to get their hair foiled while my foil was processing which makes me crazy, but I know it is not the stylist who chooses to do that they are booked that way, but when I confronted the stylist about fixing my haircut she made me wait for her to do another client before she attempted to fix my hair. The picture I took is when I was made to re-wait in the waiting room!! I sat through TWO other peoples appointments total. If that wasn't bad enough, I did all that waiting and she couldnt even fix it. She had to consult with a more experienced stylist to come over and fix the haircut. Honestly, my appointment was at 330pm after I got out of work and I did not leave that place till after it closed. So miserable after a long day at work. I honestly would never recommend going here, my stylist did not seem to care about her client at all and my hair paid the price for it. I NEVER write reviews, but I felt it had to be said. read more

I called, the lady on the phone said they were busy, told her Its my first time but they had some one available for me for a hair cut and color consultation at 4pm. It was my first visit based on the yelp reviews and was looking forward to the service and cut, since I have been looking for a salon close by and quality services. I went at 358pm, informed at reception and waited. At 411 I got up to remind the lady that I had to leave by 515, would the hair stylist available, or I m willing to come back some other day? She said she will with me shortly, she's tied up with a client. I waited, it came to 425pm, and a junior stylist Dan came and asked me if I would like to cut my hair with him. I asked him how long would it take and I don't want to rush it. So it fitted my schedule, and I got my wash and haircut done for 35 bucks. He didn't wash my hair very well, but did a good job at his level. What annoys me is the fact that the lady at the reception never got back to why my stylist was not available for my appointment, and on top they sent Dan to convey the message that she is tied up with a client. First, it would have been professional to inform me of the delay, an apology would have been courteous to mention that my stylist is unavailable and lastly I expected that some how they would compensate me in form of a service for next time. Would have considered this salon as a firm choice, but I was very disappointed. read more

I am disappointed that no one knows how to work with curly hair. I prefer leaving it naturally curly so when I went to get a haircut I assumed the person knew how to diffuse it. That was not the case and ended up leaving there looking like a poodle. Most traumatizing hair experience of my life and I encourage the stylists to look into getting some training because not everyone expects to get a blowout or something. They should know how to work with all hair types or it's not a true hair salon. Very sad and disappointing. read more

I'm Currently a stylist here, but before I was a stylist at Aqua, I could have only dreamed of working at a place this Beautiful & trendy. Everyone that is a part of Aqua's team is truly wonderful. I can't imagine ever being anywhere else! You walk in and feel right at home, there's constant laughter, it's like hanging out with your friends 24/7 ! This place is amazing, I'm jealous I don't get to be a client more often ‍! read more

I have REALLY thick, coarse, hair... like sheep thick, like throw your hair up in a quick bun because it takes hours to do my hair kinda thick! I come to Jackie M at Aqua Salon for thinning, cutting, and styling, and she is THE BEST!!!!!!!

In addition, she has a great personality--is positive, upbeat, friendly, and personal! I highly recommend her! read more

Highly recommend Bridget, was not disappointed!! and in case it's not clear- I'm going back to her in 2-4 months. read more

Overall, I've liked the way they've cut my hair. That's not the issue. The issue is this salon needs a receptionist badly. I've called for an appointment three times in the past two weeks. I left my # to be called back. No one called me back. I tried to call again today- per usual goes right to voicemail. Sorry, I'm going to take my $100 elsewhere. I tipped over 20% too. read more

Jackie is the only person I trust with my hair! Last year, I had my first haircut in like a year+ and got balayage. I had heard good reviews and decided to just commit. It was expensive but she is a great colorist and listened to exactly what I wanted. I have gone back a couple of times since and will continue to go get my cuts and color done by Jackie. She is super personable and the other hairstylists also are welcoming. Her Instagram always gives me new ideas of what I could ask her to do on my hair. The location itself is gorgeous and modern. If you want to treat yo'self, this is a great place to do so! read more
