I can't say enough about helloGORGEOUS or its employees. Especially the owner, Scott! I wish I could post a before and after photo of my hair in this review. Unfortunately, I don't have a huge budget for salon visits, and up until I met Scott, I thought that my hair had to reflect what was in my wallet. Luckily, that's not the case! I walked into Scott's salon about a year ago with bleached blonde, fried, damaged hair. I think it had a streak of "red" (or what was supposed to be red) in it, too. The left side of my head had "bangs" due to my hair burning off from another salon. Less than one year later, my hair looks BETTER than my friends who to Newbury Street in Boston to get theirs done! And, Scott charges less than the salon who ruined my hair did! Not only does my hair look natural (I didn't think that was even possible), but I LOVE going to get my hair done now! When I schedule my appointments, I look forward to seeing Scott, his mom, and their employees, as if I'm going out to catch up with friends. I haven't been to the new location yet (a couple weeks!), but based on the Peabody location, the salon was gorgeous (no pun intended) inside, always extremely clean, and Scott plays the best music! And the hair washing experience is top notch. My neck never hurts during the process! The salon treats you like you're paying 10X what you are, offering a drink when you walk in the door, and a stack of magazines by the hair dryers that are always new. Scott always sits down with you before heading to his chair, to see how your hair is doing, and to find out what you're looking to achieve in your appointment. The employees are up for either chatting or leaving you alone if you want to bury your head in a book. They make the whole experience relaxing, comfortable, and fun! This year, my work sent me to the Billboard Music Awards, and all I needed to pack for my hair was a hair dryer. That's how healthy it looks now! I didn't need a curling iron or hairspray to hide any damage. It was a miracle! Thanks, Scott! Looking forward to my next appointment. :D read more

Reviews for salon services for me personally and also a wedding/ bridal party experience: Personal: Have been visiting Scott for years. I followed the team from Peabody to the current location in Danvers, which is super convenient for me (yes, I travel from the Boston area to the North Shore for hair). The salon is fresh, bright and clean but still feels relaxed -visiting feels like some indulgent "me time". Scott the owner is a talented artist but is especially good with color. My natural hair is a nice 'dishwater brown' which I keep reddish (have been everything from super dark to super light over the years), and it is still crazy to me that people think it is my natural color. Jokes on them! The cut is always fantastic, whether I want to feel cool and bring in pictures or just something simple, it always looks healthy when I leave. Wedding: I referred a bride for day-of wedding services (Sept. 2014 i believe?) as the wedding was taking place in the north shore. Morning of the wedding we ended up having full run of the salon. We were able to bring food and fun drinks and just relax while the ladies got ready. Bride, M-O-B, and bridesmaids had hair and makeup done on site. Amanda did our makeup and she was awesome!! M-O-B never wears makeup, typically doesn't like it, and loved how she looked. Makeup and hair held up all day and photographed well which is the most important thing. Other services: Amanda does brows (just got them done last week) and I can honestly say she is the only person who has listened to me in the last few months and done what I have asked. Typically i go wherever is convenient around my house for brows, but i will keep going to Amanda from now on. asked for light clean up to keep them thick and thats what i got. why is this so hard for other people?!? General: Service is amazing for the price, which is on par with other salons i have found (for all services) which is why i keep following the hellogorgeous team! read more

The short version: EXTREMELY talented stylist, SWEETEST people you'll ever meet in any context, and RELAXING atmosphere for absolutely the most REASONABLE prices. The longer version: Scott is the best stylist around. I found Scott after two years of searching for a salon (who knew that would be the most difficult thing about moving to a new city?). I was disappointed over...and over...and over... from rude stylists to one who completely fried my hair (I must've gone though five or six stylists/salons in those two years) ... but then I found HelloGORGEOUS!!! I can walk in and ask Scott "Please cut my hair exactly like in this photo." And he will. I can walk in and say "I'm bored with my hair. Please make it different and awesome!" And he will. Most recently, I told him "I love pixie cuts, but I can't pull them off, so please give me a cut that's sort've almost a pixie cut but not really." (I admit, I'm a stylist's nightmare.) And you know what? HE DID. And I love it!!!! Besides being talented, Scott and his mother (who runs the desk) are two of the nicest, most genuine, most interesting people I've ever met. They can and will chat with you about any- and everything, and they just could not be sweeter. Give this salon a go - you will end up with your best hairstyle ever. Every time. read more

Hello Gorgeous is a friendly, beautiful and clean salon. This has been my salon for a few years now, and now my daughter's as well. Scott, the owner and my stylist, is the consummate professional whose years of experience shows. He is amazing with color and has given me a color and cut that flatters me. I just had a Brazilian Blowout done and he did an amazing job....if I only had before and after photos to show!! I have had this blowout done at two other salons over the years and there is no comparison to Scott's work....I am all set for summer now! If you are ready for a change, or a Brazilian Blowout, I highly recommend this salon! read more

This is without a doubt the best place on the North Shore for everything to do with hair ( however they do nails and other services too which i haven't tried yet.) Scott (the owner) really knows what he's doing and stays current on styles, products, and even science. He does the best for my hair than anyone else I have ever had do my hair........and that's a lot of people. I can't say enough good things about him..... and he is very picky about who he hires too. The Hello Gorgeous team did the hair styles for my son and daughter in laws wedding. They did so well their wedding photos were in a wedding magazine. Convenient location too. read more

From the moment I walk in the door, the entire staff treats me like family. The owner, Scott and his mom, Evelyn always greet me by name and I know it's not because they peeked at the schedule. Amanda knows my hair and my personality and the first time I gave her complete control to "do whatever you want", I left with my favorite style ever! When I got married last year, the entire staff worked together to make my entire bridal party looking picture perfect and I will never forget it! As Evelyn says, you go in looking beautiful, but you leave looking gorgeous! read more

I gave Scott a five star rating because he deserves it. I had been unhappy with my hairdresser, and because he moved, it gave me the opportunity to change. I chose Hello Gorgeous after reading the reviews. I got much more though because Scott is so talented. He's up to date on coloring, styling and continues to attend seminars in order to know the latest procedures that are out there. He is kind and a real gentleman. I also enjoy his mother Evelyn who always offers fresh brewed coffee. Treat yourself to the best and call Hello Gorgeous read more

What is better than hearing "Hello Gorgeous!!" When you call or walk in??? I have been with Hello Gorgeous since the day the shop opened in Peabody and would follow them anywhere they moved. Amanda and Scott are the only ones allowed to cut my hair. Both my daughter and son also go. Immaculate salon, very friendly atmosphere, and highly knowledgeable and skilled stylists. read more

I've been going to Scott since before he ventured out on his own with helloGorgeous; about 10 years, in fact. Not only do you get someone who is highly skilled, but is also a genuinely kind, generous, thoughtful person with a great sense of humor, and is graciously accommodating. If given the choice, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've been going to Scott for 10 years now. There is no one else that I trust with my hair. He lets you know if what you're asking for is not a good idea. He will explain the process in detail and keep your locks beautiful. Scott is amazing as a person and as a stylist. I recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Scott is amazing! I have been going to him for over 5 years and I always feel wonderful after i go. People have actually stopped me and complemented me on my cut and color. Please go visit him and the other talented stylists at Hello Gorgeous. You will be happy you did. read more

This is THE BEST to go to for ALL your hair care needs! I moved here two years ago and fell in love with Amanda, her technique is amazing. The staff makes you feel at home, and they have a beautiful atmosphere. I would recommend Hello Gorgeous to everyone! read more
