SEPTEMBER 2021 - MY FIRST PROFESIONAL CUT SINCE "COVID". WOULD IT BE WORTH THE RISK?…read moreI had never gotten a cut in Northampton so I asked a friend familiar with the area who he would recommend and he said "HERO" if they have an open slot! I had to settle for a date 2 weeks out but was eager to see how they would clean me up. Carmen was"SUPERB"! I looked like Sasquatch and have always been reluctant to trust a stylist I don't know. Comes from damage done to my ponytail by a redneck barber in 1969. I asked Carmen to lighten my load and make me half my age and she did just that. Cut so short an precise i didn't need a comb or brush just my fingers and a little "product" up front. THIS SHOP ROCKS! YOUNG OR "WELL-AGED" they can cut you right.

I know at this point I'll be heading to somewhere else to get all the trimming around my ears, side burns, profile from ear to ear around d my forehead. I went home to find more than a few hairs on the right side of my fire head 1.5" longer then anything else anywhere to be associated with. I did t get the mirror to see the back of my hair. I realize this after I get home. Eating with a buddy now and here's a pic of the back of my neck line. Mind you nothing else below the line got cleaned up ... awful, worst, never go here!!

Sadly, after a decade as a loyal customer,I won't be returning to The Lift.

Heartbroken Bride - A Cautionary Tale for Anyone with Textured Hair…read more On October 4, 2024, I had my hair done at The Lift Salon by Justin, a stylist I had previously trusted. As a South Asian woman with thick, coarse hair, I made it very clear that this appointment was for my wedding day. What should've been a joyful, exciting experience turned into a months-long nightmare -- one I'm still dealing with in June 2025. The salon is very much a white-centered space, and while that shouldn't matter, it clearly did. Just because I have thick hair does not mean it's okay to bleach it to the lightest color possible without any real conversation about the risks involved. As a stylist, it is your responsibility to inform your client of potential damage -- especially when working with textured or ethnic hair. Had I known my hair would end up gummy, stringy, and permanently compromised, I would've never agreed to this. I even voiced concern during the appointment when I noticed the gummy texture. Justin brushed it off and told me it would feel like that for "just two days." I trusted him -- big mistake. After the first wash, my hair was a sticky, breaking mess. It was completely ruined. Since then, I've spent months trying to repair it, and I'm still not even close. When I reached out to the owner, Cristol, hoping for accountability and understanding, I was met with nothing but ego, gaslighting, and attitude. Her exact words were: "But you loved your hair and walked out with a smile." I told her: "I didn't even realize how damaged it was at the time -- check your cameras, I was trying to bring it up to Justin during the service." Instead of listening, she cut me off and said, "I will not have you come back into the salon. I'll just refund you. You can go to my friend, Carve Beauty, to get your treatments done." I was in tears. I had just paid $600 for a service that destroyed my hair and left me completely heartbroken -- and she had the audacity to ban me? As if I'd ever want to go back. You couldn't even pay me to return. Update - End of June 2025 This photo shows the current condition of my hair -- still gummy, breaking, and fragile despite everything I've done to try and fix it. Funny enough, I didn't find Carve Beauty on my own. Cristol -- in the middle of kicking me out of her salon -- actually recommended I go there. The irony? Carve turned out to be everything The Lift is not. At Carve, Tina, one of the owners, was professional, kind, and truly empathetic. When I told her what had happened, she was genuinely appalled. I ended up doing around six intensive treatments at Carve and purchased their molecular repair treatment to continue care at home. And still, after all that, I'm left with long-term damage. If you want a salon that will actually listen, respect you, and treat your hair with real care and knowledge, I cannot recommend Carve Beauty enough. Go to Tina for anything major or corrective -- she's amazing. And for regular styling, ask for Abby -- she's just as talented and sweet. Skip the arrogance. Skip the gaslighting. Skip the damage. Go where your hair and your voice are respected -- go to Carve.
