I have had my hair cut at Shear Artistry on 2 occasions. Each time was a very different…read moreexperience. The owner did my hair on the first occasion. The cut was fairly good until my bangs. She went WAY too short. She didn't take spring up into consideration. This was her comment. On the other occasion the cut was poor. The stylist was seemingly unfamiliar with thick hair and the layering was lacking. I left looking like a puffy triangle and needed to go for a repair cut at a salon in Brunswick. The repair cut was $45 where as the Shear Artistry cut was $70. before the tip. Yes. I tipped. The stylist was a sweet person but lacking in skill, at least with my hair.

This is a small place right in downtown Boothbay, very conveniently located. My son decided he…read morewanted a pretty radical change to his hair before starting 4th grade so we went ahead and made an appointment- easier to do it while on vacation! I was admittedly nervous-- we didn't know the woman cutting his hair at all. I think she's the owner. We showed her a few pictures and I gave a little input during the cutting-- she took her time and did an outstanding job! It was a complicated cut and he had a lot of hair- and it just looks great! All this for $20. Wow.

I spend summers in Boothbay Harbor so I needed to find a reasonably priced place to get my hair…read morecut. I called several salons but either the prices were beyond my budget or it they didn't have appointments available when I could go. I decided to give Heidi's Hair Design a try. Let me say up front that Heidi's salon is at her home so if that is a turn-off for you, go elsewhere. However, you enter directly into her salon from the driveway so you won't be traipsing through her house saying hello to a husband, dogs, etc. on the way. Also, the space is actually a salon; it doesn't feel like you are in someone's home. It is really easy to get an appointment with Heidi so if you are on vacation and only have a couple of days available you will most likely be in luck. We've all had the experience of describing to the stylist the cut we want and ending up with something totally different. I always feel like Heidi really listens and then gets it right. My daughter started going to Heidi a couple of years ago as well and has been happy.

One man wrote here he was scammed by the parking and Mrs. Hawk had taken the money out of the box…read moreso she could double charge him. If he can call her a thief and have it posted I should be able to call him a liar. Mrs. Hawk has been running a business here for at least 40 years if not more and this is the first person to accuse her.I parked cars across the street from her and never heard of her cheating people.The police station is right across the street .Why didn't you go report it??? Some people just like to get on the internet and write false reports about restaurants,stores etc and this is one of those.That review should be taken off this site.

I parked my car (with out of state tags) and put my money in the box. When I returned a few hours later, an old lady came out and said I hadn't paid. I thought she had just made a mistake, so I asked her to look in the lockbox. Well, she unlocked the box, and there was no money in it! She had taken the money out after I left so she could accuse me of not paying when I returned! I had no proof I had paid so I just gave her another $10. I visit Boothbay Harbour every summer but I will never park here again.

To be honest this is not helpful for working locals. I will say the owner was out due to appendicitis. She may offer alternative hours and days but the rest would not.

The manicure I recieved there has stayed intact long than any I've ever had! The cons: although we didn't have to wait and were seated immediately, it took exactly 2 hours each for a mani/pedi. Back home a mani/pedi takes about an hour. Also, I've never been to other Maine salons so I'm not sure how this compares, but one mani/pedi is $60, about $20-25 more than I pay in CA.
