She did a fantastic job and they're still looking great weeks later! If I lived in the area (I was visiting from out of state), I would DEFINITELY return. The salon was spacious and clean, and the owner was friendly and really listens to what her clients want. If you need any eyebrow or facial services, make sure you book an appointment with Akshi Beauty Salon!

What should have been a 15 minute service, took 30 and was of incredibly poor quality. When I…read morearrived, I was asked if would be open to getting a free wax (it seemed as if the water was just finishing training or just finished training) and I agreed to this. I understand that training services aren't just that, but there's also a certain expectation of quality. I had a Brazilian that left a lot of hair behind and the waxer pinched me a number of times trying to get the wax strips off. As I was under a time constraint and had planned for a 15 minute service, I had to stop her after 30 minutes and leave without a complete wax. She was very nice, but the service was incredibly disappointing and left me frustrated

Majority of the team members are excellent, however, the Associate Manager lacks professionalism and ability to provide customer service. As the forward facing staff member, and second in command, I would expect more. Clients deserve a higher level of service and someone with the maturity to address questions and concerns. Unfortunately, my last two visits resulted in the same frustration with this individual and her immature, unprofessional, unpolished response. Very disappointed. I feel badly for the technicians who work with her. I would not recommend this location until a change is made.

Both came with a nice shoulder massage. The basic mani came with a hand massage too but I think they didn't have time during the gel mani. Mind you I haven't had gel done since pre covid and I have thin nails but she still gave me 2 tips using ANC instead of gel. I thought this was weird since my old place used to build it up and didn't so powder ANC for tips. Also, my old place used to be great at cleaning up cuticles on the sides but none of the new places bother, this one as well. My biggest complaint is; my old manis I used to push to 6 weeks. This one chipped after 1 week exactly. I was very disappointed.

I will absolutely be going here for now on. I will also recommend them over and over.

I also have blond, barely-there and thinning eyebrows and although I was extremely nervous, she gave me great brows - exactly how I personally wanted them - Not too angular and extreme.

I scheduled meeting Mary for a consult several months ago. I just finished my 6 week touch up appointment and couldn't be happier with the results. Mary is a skilled professional, she walked me through the options available, ultimately I went with an ombré dot rather than line microblading look, which was more in line with what I wanted as an end result. She checked with me for shape and color, it was a collaboration and very reassuring. Measurements were carefully taken and a good amount of time getting numb and check ins to make sure I remained numb for my comfort were appreciated. I loved the results so much I went back for a brow tint a few weeks later and now have become a lash client. I highly recommend the salon to all of my friends & family. This is where you want to go for expert, professional work.

HIP HIP HOORAY FOR TAJ MAHAL…read more The only person I would ever let touch my thick,curly and (sometimes) frizzy hair is Taj. I have been going to her for 26 years, starting when I was in my early 20's. Taj gives fabulous advice and her cuts/styles are impeccable. Always up on the latest trends Taj will let you know if a cut will work for you or not. When you walk into Taj's salon she and the staff, Donna and Sara, are very warm and inviting. Taj is like the sister I never had and I love her as one. I have moved from NY to CT and now in MA and I have never, ever given one thought to even trying to find another stylist. I don't have to. I've have plenty of bad ones while I was growing up. Something I truly admire about Taj is her caring about the environment and going green. Her organic products are the best and are priced reasonably. She does not try to push products on you but will recommend ones if asked. Do yourself a favor and go see Taj. Let her cut your hair just one time and I promise you will never go see anyone else.
