I requested a side part and layers and showed what I wanted with photos. My stylist then made my layers the most uneven they have ever been and made my bangs above my forehead. I have never disliked a haircut until now. She did not ask before cutting the length and overall it was a terrible service. read more

This is my third haircut with Ellen. What a fantastic job she did with my thick curly overgrown hair. The vibe is always good in there and Ellen was very patient with my slightly grumpy mood today. lol. She's wonderful! read more

Glamourama - Another fabulous curly cut by Ellen! 11-15-23 - Hair Salons Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

They "couldn't find" my appointment, even though I had previously received a text confirming my appointment. I drove all the way out to Northampton for no good reason. Honestly, it felt more like showing up for my appointment got in the way of staff hanging out. The place was absolutely dead. And the staff attitude was embarrassing to witness. It's ok tho, I ended up getting the exact haircut I wanted at another place in town. Apparently, Glamourama has a rep for doing stuff like this. read more

I moved to Western Mass during the pandemic. For at least a year after moving here I was quarantining, so my hair grew very long. When finally we started venturing out a bit, I started looking for a stylist. I will spare the details here, but will say without hesitation or restriction, Shalane is "the one." She is meticulous, paying attention to every detail of my hair, but also listening to what I am looking for in terms of my style. She spends alot of time with me, and goes down every style adventure with me willingly. And she is a good person. Polite, patient, caring, endearing. In terms of the salon, I am always impressed with how clean it is. I wish my house was that clean. No dust anywhere! Like how does that happen? Not that dust is a big deal, but if the dust is gone, so is the dirt. I am a dedicated customer. read more

I got a partial balayage done (by Lynne I believe) two weeks ago. When I left the salon, I was like this isn't too bad until I looked in the mirror later that day with my glasses on. When I got there, I showed her some pictures of what I wanted, she asked a few questions and almost rushed to get products ready for bleaching. When I realized she wasn't going to ask about my hair history, I volunteered those information. This should have been a major red flag but at the time I didn't think too much of it. I've attached some pictures of my hair and these are taken two weeks after the appointment. During the meantime, I've tried to used purple shampoo to tone down the brassiness but it doesn't seem to help. And it's not just the brassiness, I'm also unhappy with how un-natural it is. The transition between my natural hair and the lightened hair is harsh in some areas. It becomes more pronounced when I part my hair even slightly different from the day I came in for that appointment. read more

Lindsey did my shag cut. She's amazing and will take off as little or as much as you'd like. I've gone to her twice now and will return again when my shag is growing out and I need it re-done! The salon is also so aesthetic and soothing/comfortable. read more

EDIT: The owner was exceptionally fast and open-minded at receiving feedback and offered a new haircut for free in place. I appreciated the response and care. 1 star: I didn't get what I wanted and I felt uncomfortable to say I didn't like it. The stylist was egotistical and was hyping themself up the whole time about good it looked. For the price, I'm extremely disappointed read more

Literally the best haircut I've ever gotten. Rosa takes her time and makes you feel very welcomed. Very thorough with the consultation and listens to what you want. She doesn't rush and takes her time. She is very talented with textured hair. read more

Rebekah was amazing! Ive never written a review for a haircut but she gave me a super effortless cut, that feels so easy and light. I will definitely be back! read more

Just moved to western MA from LA. Walked in here because I couldn't get another root appointment before thanksgiving, totally blind. My hair is strawberry, golden, redish blonde and not easy to do well, but it looks amazing. They carry my favorite lines, especia for conditioning as I have long, thick, curly hair that can get very dry - Davines and Olaplex. Will definitely be back! Now just need to know if they can Do a trim on curls.... read more

Glamourama is in my opinion the best hair salon in New England. One time I went in there I was having my hair done like the 80s X-Men Storm character from and the lady next to me was going Wolverine. The people there were like "Yeah we can do you any x men hair you want, Gambit, Cyclops, Rogue." What beats that? I am a website designer by trade and most of my friends are creatives as well including world famous author, artist, models, musicians, actors etc. and we all go here. On three occasions I now of, people I know have gone to Glamourama pre TV/publication shooting. Also did I mention they do X-men hair. Yes I did. read more

I have never written a Yelp review, mostly because I'm lazy but also because I've never been that compelled to sing praises of a place I've come across on the site; be it restaurant, salon or other. Glamourama (specifically Chris) has compelled me to share my awesome experience today! I moved to Western Mass from Boston about 5 months ago and have suffered with my pixie cut ever since. I have been to countless salons where my layers have been butchered and I've left feeling like a poodle after a shampoo and blow dry, which only got worse as my hair grew out between cuts. Thanks to Yelp and its awesome reviews about the place, I found Glamourama in Northampton. Not only was the receptionist able to fit me in the same day after checking on a cancellation, but I was paired up with the best stylist I've had in a very long time. Chris asked so many questions about what I wanted (I'm the most indecisive person ever) to make sure she gave me the perfect cut. She gave me a super short pixie while keeping long layers on top. Chris gave my hair so much texture that it moves playfully and I can actually let it air dry, cutting back on hours of styling at home (which is awesome, because I'm pregnant and due in two days and won't have the time to shower let alone style my hair). I will definitely be back! Thank you Glamourama and a special thank you to Chris for giving me the best pixie cut I've had in the 5 months I've been in Western Mass, but also in the past year. You rock, you blue-haired goddess! read more

I'm a pain in the neck as a haircut customer. I'm not vocal, but still a pain in the neck. Lindsay is skilled. Lindsay likes a challenge. Lindsay knows how to make things happen. read more

I've been to Glamourama twice now, both times with Shalane. The first time was for colour, and I agree with all the reviews here that she is an excellent colourist. The second time was for cut and colour, and I was really disappointed. The cut took almost 2 hours, and at the end my long, only slightly wavy (easy to cut) hair was shorter than I wanted, and significantly uneven on the length at the back - like an inch difference - which I only noticed when I got home and saw in the mirror when all my hair had fallen over my shoulders. My real complaint is with how I was treated after this discovery. I asked to have an appointment with Rosa, the owner, as I thought she'd want to ensure quality at her salon, and I didn't trust Shalane to fix the cut since she'd cut it so unevenly the first time. I was told I could have an appointment in a week's time. This clearly wasn't going to work, so I asked to speak to Rosa. A message must have been passed, but she didn't call me back as promised, and when I called to chase her, the receptionist was snappy and slightly rude. When I finally spoke to Rosa she defended Shalane and said that she thought I was the kind of person who would never be satisfied. Great that she stood up for her employee. Bad because she never even saw my hair or gave me the benefit of the doubt. It really was uneven! In the end they gave me a full refund, but it didn't make me feel better. In large part because I like Shalane - I just wanted an even haircut, and to be treated with a little respect. read more

This is a sad update and one I wish I wasn't writing. I still maintain Betheny is a great stylist and I have been more than happy with my cut every time. My cuts have been good enough for me to ignore the specific decor (which is not my taste or style at all). I have been a loyal customer now for about a year. Loyal as in, a regular cut every 6-8 weeks. I scheduled my usual cut a few weeks ago, but had to cancel due to a family emergency that took me out of MA. I rescheduled at the time of my cancel. I then had to cancel AGAIN -- which I've never done -- due to an interview. Both are unexpected and neither would be scheduled around a hair cut (obv). When I called to reschedule the second time, accompanied with apologies, the receptionist said in a condescending tone "Oh, you've been rescheduling a lot" or "you're the one whose been rescheduling a lot." Something along those lines. This is inappropriate and unnecessary. I'm not a new customer and I've never had to reschedule twice (if rescheduling at all), so her tone and comment was way out of line. If she really felt the need to comment, asking me if everything is okay would've been appreciated. That was it for me. I'm trying Salon 241 next. Your loss Glamourama and sorry Betheny! **After this review, I got one of the most mean-spirited messages I've ever received. Laura the receptionist let me know that they canceled my appointment after reading the review, referenced the "tacky decor" comment I made in the first review. I never used that language, that's what she took from it. Anyways, Laura let me know I'm not welcome back and ended with something along the lines of "so happy you've been relieved of your burden." **Not only unprofessional, but the response was so unkind, which of course was the point. Such a bizarre response. read more

I highly recommend Lindsey! Love my cut and look forward to returning.‍ Atmosphere was quirky and cute. Easy online booking. You can use a card for payment and tip. Good selection of hair products for purchase. Overall, 10 out of 10. read more

So I recently jumped ship from another salon, where the stylists seemed incapable of doing a short haircut for me that didn't make me look (and feel!) like a soccer mom. Several of my friends go to Glamourama, so I thought I'd give them a try. It's not an exaggeration to say that Elise gave me the *best hair cut I've ever had.* She listened to my complaints about previous cuts, cut my hair both wet and dry, and the end result is that she essentially performed a miracle on my poofy, frizzy hair. And she only charged $34! Even the fabulous gays I went to in San Francisco couldn't do what she did and charge twice as much for the honor. My salon search is over - Glamourama is where it's at. read more

I went today for a "trim."Literally about one half inch taken off my ends. I was told I would be charged thirty dollars,which I thought was outrageous,but I needed my ends cut. When I went to pay I was originally told it would be forty six dollars. I told the woman at the desk I was quoted thirty dollars on the phone. I asked the woman on the phone TWICE what the charge would be. The stylist,Lynn, told me her price was thirty six. I've ways had Chris in the past and never had this type of experience. Shes always charged what I felt was an appropriate price. Forty three dollars (Including tip) I left. I've never had a bad word for this salon,but honestly, this experience today left me feeling ripped off. read more

Hell. Yes. Glamourama! Let's just say...I have very, very thick and unruly hair. And I was also EXTREMELY afraid to trust someone with my hair again (see the review I left for Regis Salon last year!) after my last mishap. I had heard such good things about Glamourama (on Yelp!) that I decided to give them a try. But, I live very far away and wanted to make sure that I could find a stylist who understood both my fear AND the style I wanted. I commented on their Facebook page with my concerns, and I got an email back from Rosa, who I'm pretty sure runs the place. Since I lived so far away, she took my information and forwarded it to a stylist (Sarah) who was super excited to help me with my hair. I went in today, still a little scared (let me tell you: living with a horrible mistake of a haircut for a year really makes you afraid of who you turn your hair over to!) but once I met Sarah I instantly felt better. She understood exactly what I wanted and totally put me at ease. She cut my hair both wet and dry and took her time to be sure I got exactly the cut I wanted. And not only that, but we talked the whole time. (I'm used to salons where the stylists talk more to their co-workers than to you, and you end up feeling just a little uncomfortable because of all the silence.) But not with Sarah! She was super friendly and we found a lot to talk about. Everyone else in the salon seemed really nice, too. I'm making it a point to go back to Glamourama and see Sarah for all my future haircutting needs! So psyched to finally find a stylist (and a salon!) that speak my language! read more

Went in to Glamourama and walked out with the best haircut I've gotten in almost a year. Chris was friendly and knowledgeable, and listened to all of my hair concerns. The atmosphere is funky and colorful, not stuffy or too-cool-for-school like most salons can be. The price was totally reasonable -- $36 for an excellent haircut? Okay by me. The only thing I didn't like? They really pushed hair products on me. I didn't use them before, and I ended up buying one there and another later, but that was the one part of the experience I could have done without. read more

This is the only place I trust for cutting my hair in the Pioneer Valley. Every haircut I've gotten here has gotten a lot of compliments. I've gotten cuts from multiple stylists here and this salon has a knack for having great talent. I've also heard that their colorists are very talented too though I haven't gotten the bravery to color my hair yet. read more

Last summer, I found myself away from San Francisco after living there for three years. I was in Northampton for school and I needed my bangs trimmed and another occasion I needed a cut for my mom's wedding. I asked around and classmates highly recommended Glamourama. I booked my first appointment with Rosa for a bang trim. A month or so later, I booked an appointment with her for a cut for my then-long hair. She worked her magic and I have never seen my hair with so much character before. Score! Flash forward eight months later, I find myself back in Northampton for a day to look at summer housing...this time with short hair. I was due for a cut/trim and I made sure to book an appointment with Rosa...pronto (she's quite pop-u-lar). And yup, she did it again...she worked her magic. She listened to my woes about my current hair and voila! :) Happy face all around. Thank you, Rosa! read more

My hair at Glamourama turned into a 3 week saga but in the best way you can imagine as I emerged feeling better about my hair than ever before. I scheduled a cut and color but thought it would only take an hour and a half (my bad) . The cut alone took that long. Shalane asked me all sorts of particular questions I could never have thought of but really added to the quality of the cut. I scheduled the next week for the color with Bethany and although we persevered and tried to due my stubborn without bleach, the dye barely showed up. Because it wasn't exactly how I wanted it, she offered to do it again for no charge and charged me minimum for the color. When I went in again to get it corrected, I was so happy with the placement and the color. It's exactly what I wanted which is especially hard considered the only help I gave her was "mahogany, subtle but not". Helpful. The general atmosphere is punky Barbie and offbeat which is great for a vanilla girl like me who wants an edge. I was really impressed by the really dramatic hair it's going on around me. Most importantly, I smile whenever I see my hair in the mirror! read more

Glamourama is not just for females. Great Mens haircuts also. I had Ann Marie and Rosa. I'm 57 and my Mens Barber passed away and i could not find a Barber who could Style hair also. I found Glamoura on Google. The team is scientific about what is the right shampoo and conditioner for you. I walked out of there looking like a Hollywood Movie Star .Free color consultations.also.I highly recommend this company. read more

I loved my experience at Glamourama! Truly lived up to its name...stimulating atmosphere and wonderful company. I love the beautiful auburn Michael created just for me read more

Oh how I miss getting my hair cut with Adriana. She is the coolest and most down to earth person, and she does an awesome job. The place itself (upstairs, next to Osaka) is unlike any other salon I've been to, but in a good way. Always good indie rock playing, interesting decor, but not hipster-pretentious. It's very... Northampton. And the prices are reasonable; I paid $70 for a cut and color, and she made sure everything was perfect before I left the chair. I will be back next time I'm in Mass! read more

Amazing amazing amazing! My stylist for the 5 years that I lived in Northampton was Elyse, but I honestly believe that you can't go wrong with any of the wonderful ladies at Glamourama! I've moved and I'm really bummed that I can't go to Elyse for my cuts anymore. Quality cuts, quality color, quality hair products, and stylists who care about you. I was always amazed that Elyse could remember details of my life from visit to visit (I only made it in every 4-6 months). I was able to trust her skills enough to go in and tell her to have fun and know that I would walk out with a cut that I loved. I really like hair product and always asked for recommendations, but I never felt pressured to buy their product. I sent several friends (at least 3) to Glam and they were never disappointed with the results either. I also felt like the pricing was really reasonable for the amount of time and personal attention I got. So worth it. read more

Great atmosphere, funky/stylish, welcoming not intimidating- Sarah made me feel at ease, listened to what I wanted and paraphrased to ensure we were on the same page. She took her time to get things right- I never felt rushed. read more

I have thick, straight hair and had done a perm over 6 months prior to visiting Glamourama. Bethuny took the job in her hands in the most unique, individualized way possible. My hair didn't hold the perm past the first few days, with some waves. However, Bethuny was able to layer it in such a way that the waves came back up and styled it so that I would get a sense of how to restore the perm. Wow... Pure magic. My hair is as thick and straight as it gets so I didn't think it was possible, but she managed to think her way around it. Everyone complimented my hair, she gave it a lot of volume through the cut. I've also gone in for a free color consultation, which I highly recommend and doesn't hurt. It takes 10-15 minutes. She educated me on a lot of basics of coloring so that we could communicate with it. Bethuny gave me a very clear picture of what I would have to do in order to achieve certain various tones and consulted me on the best decision combinations in order to keep my hair healthy. Not to mention I'm a huge fan of the decor and DIY punk and rockabilly vibes. If only I had the funds, I would definitely go to Glamourama for color. The prices are reasonable, it seems, for the job they do. I've seen their work and am astounded. If I lived closer, I would come for frequent cuts. Certainly for color, you're getting a top notch experience and an amazing dye job for probably a lot cheaper than in New York City or Boston. I've had an overall great experience here. read more

I've been to Glamourama a few times now and I've always been impressed - whether it was for a buzzed undercut or a trim for longer hair. I recently saw Lynne, and she did absolutely amazing work with my hair. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, and she spent a lot of time adjusting the length and layering. It's been a few weeks and I'm delighted with my haircut. read more

This place is awesome. Period. I drove all the way from the Boston area to come to this place and I am super-glad I did! Sarah is attentive, friendly and creative, and was open to my ideas. I never felt rushed or unwelcome. The rest of the staff seemed fun and friendly and their clientele seemed pretty pleased to be there, too. I can only speak for Sarah as stylist but I can say for certain I LOVE my hair and that I am definitely willing to make the trek out to Glamourama for my next appointment. read more

I've been looking for a good salon since moving to the area. Four or five haircuts later I came upon Glamorama. Hard to find as the sign is a little faded but worth the effort to park down town. Great service and WONDERFUL cutter and colorist. Chris cut my hair paying close attention to all my ramblings and complaining about my hair. She came up with an excellent option. And Kyle was super artistic and careful to meet my expectations although I wasn't even sure what they were ... comfy lounge, a little worn but warm and visually entertaining. I'll be going back. Exceptional reading material. read more

I was super nervous because I used to get lectured by hairdressers when I'd go only once a year and today I went for the first time in 4 (yikes!) Chris was amazing!!! She really put me at ease. No lecture, took her time, really listened, easy going, and I love the result (I can't tell you how many times I've hated haircuts, even seemingly simple trims, and left salons in a weird mood, ready for a week or so of ponytails.) None of that today! My boyfriend went and saw Annemarie--says "she's awesome and was extremely helpful while I was figuring out what I wanted." His hair looks great and we're both really happy. Thanks, Glamourama! read more

Why haven't you had Kyle do your hair yet? BEYOND pleased with his service, knowledge, and skills. It's clear Kyle cares about his work and clients first before anything. My hair has never felt and looked better. Bless you Kyle read more

I switched to Galmourama just recently after multiple stylists left the last salon I was attached to. Galmourama is the Best.Salon.Ever. Love my hair, love my stylist, love the place. The place just has good energy. My hair has truly never looked better in my life! read more

I don't ever write reviews. But, I've never been happier with a haircut! This was my first visit with Chris at Glamourama. I had ideas about major changes to my hair (cutting it much shorter and getting bangs). I went armed with lots of examples of what I was looking for. Chris patiently listened to me, looked at all my examples, and one by one explained either why they wouldn't work with my hair or that they would require enormous effort to achieve the look (not what I wanted). So, she made some suggestions about how I could get the layers in my hair to look much better but still keep the length and the kind of bangs that would work for me. She did it all! I love my haircut so much. I have a lot of hair and I feel like someone finally layered it in a way that works. I've never had bangs this short, but I absolutely adore them. Best of all, the haircut requires virtually no effort to make it look great. I really appreciated how much Chris listened to me but then also took some artistic direction of her own. read more

I just had my hair cut and colored by Shalene and it was a great experience. The salon is fun and funky yet laidback and unpretentious which was also really nice to see. Shalene took her time and really listened to what I did and didn't like about my hair color and the cut. She checked out the pictures I brought in and discussed all the options I had. Both the color and cut came out gorgeous and were even better than I was expecting. All the other stylists in there were super friendly and nice as well which made it all the more fun. I will definitely be back as soon as possible! read more

Haircut and style! It's a funky downtown Northampton salon! Great style, great service amongst COVID-19 restrictions. Clean, followed all ness as art protocol to protect clients and provide great service. I didn't personally like my cut and I went to have it recut in Easthampton. I really needed a cut after COVID shut down and I couldn't schedule anywhere. This place has conscientious online booking and confirmation. The stylist I was scheduled with was very new, she told me she had just started. I think she was timid due to being new and didn't cut enough off. I found the salon decor to be funky so I gave 3 stars due too being on point with their COVID-19 protocols! read more

Visiting from out-of-town, I needed a quick clean-up on my under shave before an event today. I messaged Glamourama via Yelp to request an appointment and received a call back first thing as they opened the next morning (day of the event). Emily accommodated my limited availability and did a FANTASTIC job on my hair. Super vibey shop - wish we lived up here, I'd be one happy customer more than just this once! Thank you for excellent service! Cheers! read more
