I honestly can't say enough good things about Kristen at Hair Designs in Wilmington! I had my hair extensions installed by Kristen back in April, and they have been an absolute GAME CHANGER for me. Every six weeks I go back to Kristen for what we call a "mini move-up," and every 12 weeks she completely removes and reinstalls them. She is so knowledgeable, meticulous, and does an amazing job every single time. The extensions look and feel so natural, and the maintenance at home is surprisingly easy. They're easy to take care of, easy to style, and honestly so much easier than I ever expected. But beyond how great they look, the biggest difference has been how they make me FEEL. I feel more beautiful, more confident, and just happier with my hair. I genuinely can't imagine going back to my old hair now. If you've been thinking about getting extensions but are nervous or have questions, I highly recommend reaching out to Kristen. If you're on the fence, DO IT. You will not regret it! read more

Kristin has been doing my hair for many years and it is about time i did a review. Hair Designs is just the best. She somehow remembers exactly how I like my hair cut every time. Everyone is pleasant and happy to see their customers. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I first reviewed Hair Design in 2014 after being a client for a few years, and it feels like the right time to update my thoughts. Twelve years later, I only wish I could give more stars. Jill is an exceptional stylist with extraordinary talent, especially when it comes to color. Her skill is unmatched, and she listens carefully to ensure every detail is understood and nothing is overlooked. Thanks to Jill, I have received compliments from complete strangers. And more importantly, I feel great about my hair! read more

Couldn't be happier! After getting my hair botched somewhere else, I did a lot of research before finding Hair Designs. I visited Cheri, a beautiful and expert hair stylist. At one look of the sample picture I showed her, she immediately told me everything I needed to hear-the layers, angles, lengths and how my unique hair quality asks for a slight different modification of the style from the photo. The end result is great, and I officially concluded my two-year search for a great, long-term hair stylist. Thank you, Cheri! read more

Cheri was great, I really like it there and will definitely be a repeat customer. Reasonable prices and great quality work.

The hairdresser was great. I saw Debbie. She did an awesome job with my hair, she was very friendly and listened to my requests. The prices were fair. Will go again. I even booked my mom there, and she was very happy with her hair as well. read more

Debi is great！I've tried many Chinese salon in boston Chinatown as well as Japanese salon on newbury st，this is my best hair cut and perm in the U.S. ever！If you are an Asian，it worth you driving 35mins to wilmington for a beautiful cut and perm！Who said American stylists don't know how to work on Asian's hair？I strongly recommond Debi to cut and design your asian hair！She has more than 10 years experience and has a lot of patience to make your hair beautiful.

Had a hair cut with Debi. She was so personable and did exactly what I wanted. She even recut my hair because I ended up wanting it a bit shorter. I feel like if that happens hairstylists aren't too happy, but she recut my hair with a smile. Would totally recommend this place! read more

I've been literally looking for a place to get my hair cut around the Woburn/Burlington/Winchester area for the longest time. I would look up places on Yelp and on Google and nothing would pop up to me that made me feel like it was right. Then I remembered that Wilmington wasn't too far away! I looked up hair salons in Wilmington and came across Hair Designs. The prices were PERFECT. I feel like I paid more for a stupid haircut at Super Cuts than at Hair Designs. I immediately called and Kristina answered the phone. She was so incredibly nice right from the start! I went in, I was a half hour late because GPS takes you to a wrong address when you type in 668 Main Street, and Kristina was right at the desk and took me to get started. Kristina was awesome! She would constantly ask what I wanted and if I think what she was going to do be something I would like. No hairdresser has really ever done that for me. When Kristina was done, my hair looked AMAZING. I felt awesome about myself because of the great job she did with cutting and styling my hair. I'm definitely going to be going back to Hair Designs. Hopefully next time I won't get lost :) read more

I cold called this business due to a death in our family and a need for a wash/blow dry in order to be presentable at the wake. I called and made my request. The person answering the phone was kind and professional. I got an appointment within an hour. Not always possible but very lucky for me. The salon was clean and Debi was professional and very personable. She asked a few questions and we got started. I've been to many salons over the years. She completely understood what I wanted. We chatted about my hair goals as well as general conversation. She had some suggestions. No hard sell but I am definitely interested in returning. Long story short, she did an amazing job!. I'm gratelful I could go to my uncle's wake looking "presentable". I would not hesitate to return and may have found a new "haircare home". Thank you so much! read more

I can't recommend this salon enough. I've been twice now and I absolutely love it. The salon is easy to get to with plenty of parking. The design and atmosphere is very nice. All of the employees constantly have a smile on their faces and are extremely professional. You can tell that they like their jobs and I think that is extremely important. I see Krista for my hair and it does not get any better. She listens to what you want and knows what she is talking about. She is not afraid to give suggestions (and she is NOT pushy while doing so) and I think that is very important, as she is the hair professional, not me! She really knows her stuff. Her color and cut skills are absolutely wonderful. I can't praise her enough. I have also recently seen Heather for an eyebrow wax. I am always hesitant to have someone new wax my eyebrows and she did not disappoint. She did a great job and was very professional and very sweet. The prices are more than reasonable, especially since the quality of work is unbeatable! I strongly suggest checking them out! :) read more

I have been going to Hair Design for years and the staff is Excellent and Extremely Professional! Superb Customer Service!

I'm so incredibly distraught. I made an appointment with Sam after doing some research online and reading great reviews. Well, my experience was far less than great to say the least. I told her I would like balayage and showed her a picture of someone's hair that she did. I figured, this should be easy, she's done this before. She asked if I had any concerns and I said yes, I didn't want my hair orange which has happened before because my hair is so dark. I also said I didn't like foils because they make stripes, that's why I like the balayage. She said ok, and that I would probably need a trim after. So, here we go. Sam starts the process with foils. I thought that was kind of different for balayage. I asked if the foils helped lightened my hair easier and she said yes. I noticed my hair was lightening super fast, over to the sink we go! She kind of had a worried look on her face and said I should have a conditioning treatment (which I'm pretty sure I was charged for), which made me a little worried. So, back in the chair, as Sam is brushing my hair, I notice clumps of my hair in her comb. I asked if I should be alarmed that all that hair was in her comb and she said no. She then asked if a lot of my hair falls out when I brush it to which I responded no. She now keeps saying my hair is 'so dry'. I've never been told this by any stylist, ever. She said she is so glad we went more subtle. I'm thinking, what? More subtle? She goes on to say, don't blow dry my hair, don't style it, don't put any heat on it. Odd, I've never been told that either. She blow dries my hair. It's super subtle, nothing like I asked for, said it looked good, never shows me the back of my hair and ushers me over to pay. Over $200! I've never been charged so much in my life! She tells me it's always more expensive the first time and we will work towards the hair in the picture. In the car, I start looking at my hair, ok, no orange but it sure is subtle. I get home and really start looking at my hair, I see the back, and there are stripes! Just what I didn't want!! Perhaps that was why she didn't show me the back? It's also not uniform, I have more 'highlights' on one side. Not only that but my hair is FRIED! So FRIED and breaking off! I'm embarrassed, friends are asking what in the world I did to my hair. So, I consulted a family friend who is a salon owner. She told me my hair is super damaged and falling off and I need to call this place. She also told me they should have never charged me for this and if they were a reputable salon they would refund my money and they should be having me go for weekly conditioning treatments until my hair is fixed. I called and spoke with Sam, who did apologize and said she's glad we went more subtle or it would have been even worse. I told her it's nothing like what I wanted. She also said she didn't know why that happened and it must have been the condition of my hair. Which again, no hair stylist has ever said the condition of my hair was bad. Ok, so I get it, maybe she didn't know that my hair would do that, even though my hair has never had issues in the past. BUT, here's the kicker, I told her my hair is breaking off and burned. Her response was, she told her boss what happened to my hair and I could come in for a few conditioning treatments. I asked how much that would be, and she said she could do 4 for free, for sure. So, here's the problem, Sam knew before I left that salon that my hair was now in horrible condition, chose not to say nothing to ME, chose to charge me full price (over $200) and let me walk out the door, maybe hoping I wouldn't notice. But she did tell her boss what happened to my hair! How can someone feel ok charging a client full price knowing their hair is now in awful condition? And act like nothing was wrong, to boot! That's just bad business. What a waste of money. read more

I love this salon! The people are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. For several years and counting this has been my only salon! I'm so happy I found it. read more

From the first phone conversation I felt welcomed. They are always concerned for their customers and what they want. It is such a warm, friendly, family atmosphere. I feel like Cheryl never forgets a name or face and really cares about her customers. Kristina has been my stylist and I rely on her for her honest opinion, suggestions, and guidance. She really took interest in me and came to know what I wanted and needed in a hair style. She helped me to update my style into one that works best for me and my busy life as well as one that always has me looking and feeling great about myself. Going to an appointment was more like going to sit and chat with friends and come out looking fabulous. read more

I have been coming into Hair Designs since the early 90s. I see Cheryl, and she always has excellent advice, and keeps me up to date on all the exciting new products that her salon carries. The salon is always immaculate, and Cheryl, and all the stylists give a warm welcome to me and all other clients that come in. read more

I went in today to get a really bad haircut fixed. I had an amazing stylist who showed me all my options and kept me informed the whole time. She did an amazing job fixing up my botched hair. I couldn't have asked for a better haircut. read more

Sam is the best! She is up front about what you should expect from your hair color, and is more concerned about keeping your hair healthy long term. I have been pleased everytime with my color and my cut. And she's just a fabulous person. read more

Sam http://iconosquare.com/samcheevs is a masterful colourist and hairstylist. Her expert technique puts you at ease. She's also super lovely! She transformed my fried "mom mop" with low-maintenance, natural looking highlights, a trim and conditioning treatment. I recommend her to anyone, especially fellow blondes. read more

Can't express enough how wonderful Sam is at Hair Designs in Wilmington! She really understands what you want and asks all the right questions to ensure your satisfied with the end results.

I needed a last second haircut during a family visit. Whenever I'm away from home I get nervous going to a new hairdresser. Jill did a fantastic job on both my hair and beard. She was thorough, detailed, and quick. I will definitely come back next time I come to Wilmington! read more

I had Jill bleach my hair from super dark dark brown to a golden honey blonde in one day, she is super talented! Highly recommend seeing her for your next hair colour! read more

Wife got a hair cut and some coloring. The haircut was fine at $45, but the coloring cost $90 for 2 streaks of purple color. What a rip off. The lady charged $30 for the product, $30 to put it in, then another $30 to wash it out. Don't know how they only have a $$ on the listing, it should be $$$. Great job, but way to pricey. read more

I went in hoping to get my hair done something fun with some color. I only colored my hair once 3 years ago and had a wonderful experience at Vidal Sassoon. I wanted to try another place because unfortunately the city of Boston is no longer a train ride in. I read some reviews of Hair Design and it looked promising and not as expensive as Vidal Sassoon (WRONG). At Sassoon, I had gotten a bob cut, side bangs, and color at a mere $65 total. I loved it. At Hair Designs they will charge you an arm and a leg. I wanted layers (shortened to shoulder length), side bangs, and a little dash of color totaling up to $133!!! What!?!?! I didn't get my hair layered, you can barely see the color, they never asked me if I wanted a stylized blow dry. They just brought over the the chair after washing and the lady started to style it. I just wanted it dry. WARNING: Make sure you know exactly what you want and make sure to tell them how you want it during the cut otherwise they will just skip certain things (i.e. layers) charge you whatever they feel necessary (style blow dry). I will NEVER go back there. Honestly, I would just blow dry my own hair to avoid the dye from possibly dripping on to my shirt. read more

I had never been here before since I live in Chelmsford and it's a drive for me but I answered an ad to be a hair model for a stylist named Sam who works here. This salon is super clean, modern, and the vibes are great. Sam did an amazing job with my delicate blonde hair and we had so much fun being creative together!!! People who work here have worked here over a decade which says ALOT about this business!!! I recommend this place highly for those who are nervous about altering their hair! You'd be in good hands!!! read more

I have been a customer of Cheryl's for at least 15 years. She is kind, warm and always professional, as are all the hairstylists. Cheryl has always gently guided me during those times when I needed "a change." The hair products are fabulous, not to mention the great hair style. I have always made an effort to make appointments during my visits home, even when living as far away as Hawaii. I also travelled to the salon when I was living in Bridgewater, MA, at least an 80 to 90 minute commute. This salon is such a "feel good" place, and if I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

Just got my hair cut today and absolutely love it. Courtney was excellent and suggested different techniques she could use to improve my hair. I will def be going back! read more

I got my hair cut by Sam on Wednesday and I have not been able to go out without a hat on because she butchered my bangs. She took off my daughter's haircut from the total cost, but I still ended leaving with bangs that are so bad that I can't even enjoy having a new haircut. Looking back, I should not have had to pay one cent for a haircut that I have to hide! I am never going back there again. read more

Sam is an amazing stylist. She always asks several questions throughout the styling process to ensure you're happy with the haircut and ask if you would like any changes. She's also very personable and attentive. Overall the staff is very pleasant, although I've only ever seen Sam for my haircuts. The price is right also; Don't risk your hair at Fantastic Sam's, you get what you pay for! I'm so glad to have found a salon that I plan to go to for all future haircuts! read more
