And since they're in the same lot as a cvs, I was able to pop over there for some oils and dry shampoo afterwards. They're small but definitely come check them out, they do a great job.

I called Annette after putting off my relaxer for FIVE MONTHS! I am a one stylist type of girl and…read moreeven after moving to Boston, I still drive back to Long Island to see the women who has been doing my hair since I was seventeen. With the pandemic still in full swing, that wasn't a feasible option so I called Annette and explained that I desperately needed a touch up but I was nervous to see a new stylist and would feel more comfortable if she'd use the same relaxer I'm used to. She had no problem going out and getting the exact formula I use on my hair and was able to get my in the salon the next day. I was so pleased with the work she did. One of the reasons I don't typically go to other stylist, even for something simple like a relaxer, is because they'll often rush through things, either missing some of the new growth or over lapping with the hair that's already been relaxed. I've also had stylist skimp on the basing and because I have a super sensitive scalp, without enough base I start to burn before I'm fully processed and I'm not one to sit in the chair burning, it needs to come out once the burn starts. All and all I was really happy, and I'm glad to know that there is a stylist I can go to in Boston, especially when there is pandemic going on that makes it unrealistic to travel right now.

They accommodated 17 people in addition to an outside makeup artist they allowed me to bring in. The outdoor space was a perfect area for people to hangout in and set up for people to relax and enjoy the getting ready experience. My wedding was in the neighborhood and it was an amazing place to start the day! Gaston and his team brought my wedding hair dreams to life and discussed with me what I was hoping for beforehand so there were no unexpected surprises the day of. He also gave my husband the perfect men's cut. I would recommend this salon for any hair needs as well as if you're looking for a getting ready spot for your most important events!

Went here for my first haircut after COVID shutdowns. I was slightly nervous about this but the…read morewhole process put me at ease. Douja is the only stylist that works here, services are appointment-only and appointments are scheduled with disinfecting time in between, so she and I were the only ones in the shop, and she could do her work just as well with both of us masked. The haircut itself was great -- I used to go to Douja when she was at Sublime Salon in Cambridge and I instantly remembered why. I'm a guy so I don't have the language to tell someone exactly what to do. With Douja I can just tell her how long I want it, maybe tell her about some terrible haircuts I've had while she works, and she's competent enough to handle the rest. Douja herself is also awesome -- she'll tell you exactly what she thinks and wants you to do the same. *Note that this is a new salon Douja started in 2020, so other staff from Sublime, gift cards, etc. are likely different. Yelp may just be erroneously combining new and old business reviews.

I have done single process, partial highlights, full highlights, and hair cuts with her. She has done a perfect job each and every time. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Her prices are more than fair and her work product is priceless. Further, she is efficient with her time without sacrificing the end result. I greatly appreciate that I am not sitting in the chair for an unnecessary amount of time which is what happens at most other salons. And for the time I am sitting in the chair, she is great conversation! Not only does she do amazing work, she cultivates a safe space through her radiant and kind personality. I am so lucky to have been referred to her by a friend and I hope to have her do my hair forever! I have curly dark brown hair and she has safely got me to the blonde shade I desire. Her highlights add so much dimension to my hair and I feel so confident after she does my hair. My hair is so healthy and she is very knowledgeable on how to safely bleach hair, especially curly hair. Douja is so talented and everyone should get their hair done by her!!

The front desk staff has always shown me a great deal of hospitality and has done everything to accommodate my needs. I never imagined I would be a regular at a Newbury Street salon but I have been made to feel right at home here. The look of the salon and its decor is just lovely.
