Not happy with how my highlights came out. I just wanted basic highlights on my dark blonde hair,…read morebeen getting them for many years, 2-3x a year. I had booked an appointment for a full foil. I was early and the stylist was late. She told me I didn't need a full foil, so we did a partial foil instead. Unfortunately it didn't come out well. First, the whole foiled section is much lighter than the back/bottom portion of my hair (so really I did need a full foil and should've pushed back on that?). I have never had such a stark contrast between the foiled and unfoiled portions... it looks pretty bad when my hair is up, and as a mom, that is basically all the time. Second, some of the highlights themselves are uneven, being super bright (almost white) closest to my roots in a few spots. Never had this happen before, either. I tried to schedule a correction, but they said I would have to pay to get the bottom foiled as that wouldn't count as a correction. Fair enough per the technical definition... but my hair just doesn't look good overall and that would be the only clear fix from my perspective, since you can't darken bleached hair. Oh well. That was a huge expense. I definitely will not return. Haircut was fine! Though they did also blow it out some after I specifically said I didn't want it (for my schedule and for sensory reasons).

I have to rave about the best salon and stylists in the Boston area--La Beautique Salon has been a…read moretotal game-changer for my hair. Every stylist here is incredibly talented, but Courtney has been doing my color for the past couple of years, and I couldn't be happier! Not since I lived in Santa Monica, when Kristin Ess was my stylist (just before she became a household name), has anyone gotten my color so perfectly right. Before finding La Beautique, I tried at least six other salons without success. This place truly stands out--not just because of the amazing talent but also because of the atmosphere. The salon is absolutely beautiful, and the owner, Dominique, creates such a warm, welcoming vibe. Her kindness and vision set the tone for an experience that makes you feel happy and cared for every time you visit. If you're searching for the best hair color and stylists in the Newton, Watertown, or greater Boston area, look no further. Trust me--just go. You won't regret it!

I had the most difficult time finding hair and make-up artists for my Wedding Day - not for lack of…read moreartist availability, but because I was so nervous I'd be disappointed and not have my vision become a reality. Planning my wedding for 14 months, I continually pushed off booking hair and makeup artists and instead focused my time elsewhere - centerpieces, photography, linens, etc. There's not a shortage of projects to finish or vendors to book, right? Well, before I knew it, we were 30 days until Wedding Day and I was still without hair or makeup. We were at the point where my Mother-in-Law-to-be was actually booking trial appointments for me. Website after website I searched - every single vendor on the Knot, suggestions from family, friends and former brides, etc. Although I loved some of the work I saw, I didn't love enough of one artist's gallery to pull the trigger and book... until Stacey Frasca of Studio 28. Not only was her website informative and her gallery uber-impressive, but her 6 consecutive years of the Knot's "Best of Weddings" (It's now 7-years!) and 4 years of Wedding Wire's Bride/Couples Choice Awards could not be over-looked. If I needed reassurance my vision would come to life, this was certainly it. I contacted Stacey and when she replied with my date open, I was ecstatic. She was even able to offer a friend and colleague to do my hair! I met with both Stacey and Michelle DeCosta from Jesamondo Salon & Spa at Stacey's Wellesley Studio just 21-days before my wedding (cutting it close, huh?). Both ladies looked at the Pinterest pictures I brought, listened to my ideas, likes and dislikes and ultimately put together something more beautiful than the vision I had in my head. Once the veil was set in place and I looked all bridal, I booked them both on the spot. On my wedding day, both Stacey and Michelle arrived right on time (8am) to the hotel and quickly got to work on 4 bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, aunt and of course, me - the bride. Together, they worked seamlessly, keeping on their set schedule which allowed us to get to the ceremony on time. What I thought would be a stressful morning, wasn't. Stacey and Michelle were both able to keep the atmosphere relaxed and positive and fun. I told my girls I wanted their hair up, but the style was completely their choice. Their hair ranged from short and straight to very, very long and frizzy. Michelle definitely had her work cut out for her and she was SO on point! Every up-do was clean and neat and exactly the look I was going for. Most of my bridal party wears very little makeup and I was really worried about looking at my photos later and not being able to recognize anyone. Stacey was able to beautifully accent everyone's features and make us feel glamorous. The airbrush make-up was light and left our skin flawless all night long. Oh! And the artificial eyelashes definitely made our eyes pop perfectly. I can honestly say I've never felt more beautiful and everyone's confidence shined in both our pictures and video. Stacey and Michelle are a Bride's Beauty Dream Team. Thank you, ladies!
