I was searching through yelp about a month ago in dire need for a new stylist. I'm new to the area…read moreand severely needed some help with my hair. I've been a blonde my whole life but its started to darken as I've gotten farther into my 20's. When I read Marina's reviews she sounded almost too good to be true. I called and left her a message about what I needed and what kind of hair I had and she called back within the hour. Not only was she extremely kind over the phone but she really seemed to understand what I needed and I set up an appointment with her as soon as possible. About a week later she was in my kitchen drinking coffee and doing my hair. It was like having a cool older sister I never knew existed! We chatted and laughed the entire time she was coloring my hair. When it was time to wash my color out she brought me over to the sink. I was surprised that a stylist could really put that much time and compassion into something as simple as washing my hair. Afterwards she gave me a blowdry and styled my hair and I kid you not I felt like Marilyn Monroe by the end of it. Suffice to say I'll be booking Marina every few months from now on. 10/10 would suggest Follow my blog for more adventures! https://gronbergerandfries.wordpress.com/

I can't say enough good things about working with Marina! She made my mom's wedding day totally…read morestress-free. She's such a sweetheart, fun, laid back, and SO talented! My mom got married the day after Thanksgiving, and we were worried about finding a hair and makeup stylist who would be available that day. Luckily, we found Marina and she gave us the most perfect, relaxing day. Everyone in the bridal party wanted a different look (glam, 1920s, classic, etc.) and the bride wanted to go very natural. Marina was so accommodating to what everyone was looking for and made us all feel beautiful. She spent the entire day with us and helped us plan out the schedule so that everything went exactly as planned and on time. The makeup and hair styles looked great all night long and, most importantly, my mom had an incredibly special day. Thank you Marina for being such an important part of it!

I had a haircut with Marguerite as a first-time customer and was really impressed. I had trimmed my…read morehair at home during the COVID pandemic and because I hadn't gotten a cut in about a year, my hair needed some TLC. Marguerite did an awesome job listening to what I wanted, looking at a photo of a previous cut, and carefully trimming my hair to the desired length. I ended getting about 5 inches cut off and instead of cutting it all off at once, she cut it once and then asked me if it was the right length or if I wanted it shorter. Which is my favorite thing that hair stylists do, rather than cutting it all off and asking if it is too short. I'm so incredibly happy with my hair cut and to top it all off, the prices were super reasonable, as well. Thanks, Marguerite!

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 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!
