I've added pictures showing my before, the inspo photos attached to the original appt request, and the result I left with for reference. I did not reach out afterward because I was not comfortable having the same stylist make an adjustment, and I live an hour away from the salon. I was initially willing to make the drive because of the impressive work with fine hair on your Instagram and TikTok, which is actually what led me to book the appointment in the first place. Unfortunately, the experience and result I received did not reflect the quality of work that led me to make that drive.

I came to Candela shortly after moving out of the city to North Andover... and am SO grateful I…read moredid! it was hard to leave the colorist I'd been seeing years but I just couldn't justify the long commute into Boston and back anymore. Fortunately, Lauren put me right at ease straight away -- it was clear from the time of our consultation that she was dedicated to making sure I'm super happy with my hair. And she definitely delivered! We talked at length about all my different options for achieving the high-dimension, low-maintenance blonde I wanted... including balayage, foils, root tap/shadow/melt, money piece, etc. and finally settled on a plan that would match the ook I was going for without damaging my hair too much. Lauren was honest with me from the get-go about what she did and didn't feel comfortable doing in terms of maintaining the integrity of my hair (we skipped bleaching the ends for that reason), which I really appreciated. From the moment she started painting to the toner and blowout/styling, it was clear that she *really* cares about her work, as well as the client's satisfaction. And I truly don't think the tone of my blonde has ever looked better! Not to mention, Lauren's sweet, friendly, accommodating presence makes for a really pleasant experience all around. Especially if you're looking for a "lived in blonde" that grows out softly and beautifully, I highly recommend her! 10/10

Then, I moved to the Cape and tried a few 'well reviewed' places down here. Wow, what a mess we created. I just drove up to Andover from the Cape and Gary made it all better again. I am so grateful for his careful analysis, skill in coloring and attention to detail especially because my son's wedding is coming up! He is not only the nicest guy ever, he also listens to you (while at the same time applies his knowledge to the situation) and he has the skills to pull off whatever is best for you. I highly recommend him. The salon is always clean, people are friendly and they are just nice people. Five stars for all of them. Oh, by the way, the night I went in a woman was next in line for Gary and she had driven from Maine to go to him. Epic.

Went in for a haircut and LOVED the look. I didn't get a crazy new style or anything. Just got it…read morecut but the hair dresser did an amazing job, I believe he is the owner of the place. I forget his name (which is a common occurrence with me unfortunately). Was going out for a special celebration the next day so I went in just to get it cut. But he styled it so well after the cut that it even stayed until the next day. I SLEPT ON IT and it didn't get ruined. Just lightly brushed it before I left in the morning. The only negative thing is that he is very rough with the brushing. Every time he sectioned my hair or combed it to blow dry it I bet that I lost at least 50 strands. He pulled at my hair quite hard. Kept the blowdryer super close to my scalp so I would feel like my head was burning. I tipped him way more than I usually do in general because that's how happy I was. Technically I'd like to give it between 3 and 4 stars because of all the pulling, tugging and burning. But since that's not an option on Yelp, this place gets 4 stars. This is definitely my hair salon now. And SO reasonable! This is the perfect spot for me.

I've gone back and forth for a long time about writing this review, but ultimately I feel that a…read morebusiness should be accountable for the services it provides. I went in for a keratin treatment. My hair was actually looking the best it had looked in a very long time. I had recently spent a small fortune having my hair professionally colored, and I was extremely happy with how it looked. I felt it just needed some additional conditioning, which is why I decided to have a keratin treatment. Before the treatment, I specifically told the stylist that I had recently had my hair colored. She told me that the keratin treatment "might lighten my hair a little bit." I certainly wasn't expecting what happened next. My hair didn't simply become a little lighter or slightly brassy. It turned bright orange. And when I say orange, I mean literally the color of an orange. Think of the actual, vivid orange color of an orange fruit -- that is what my hair looked like. It was extremely obvious and absolutely not the color I had when I walked into the salon. What shocked me almost as much as the color itself was that the stylist never acknowledged it. She didn't apologize or make any comment about the dramatic change. She simply carried on as though everything was fine and even recommended products to me. The owner also saw my hair and said nothing. I left the salon completely stunned. The consequences lasted far beyond that appointment. I spent hundreds of dollars over the following year on additional salon services trying to correct the color and get my hair back to where it had been before this treatment. I'm still not completely sure that my hair has returned to its original condition. What makes this particularly disappointing is that the salon describes itself as being founded on the pursuit of "exceptional customer service and stylistic excellence." Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I understand that mistakes can happen. What I find much harder to understand is when something goes obviously wrong and nobody acknowledges it or takes responsibility. I waited a long time before writing this review, but I ultimately feel that customers deserve to know about my experience. This was not a minor color change or a result that I simply didn't like. My hair was a color I had never asked for, and correcting it cost me hundreds of dollars.

For more than a year I have been searching for a new salon after losing the stylist who did my…read morehair for almost 25 years. I admit these were some big shoes to fill especially since I have my hair cut every 4 weeks, my hair is rather defiant, but I want it to always look nice. I was very impressed with the coziness of the New Beginnings salon, the ability to obtain an appointment that was timely and convenient, the warm feeling of friendship and esteem between the staff, the respect and concern they showed the customers, the quality of my haircut by Jessica and the very reasonable price. They even provide a discount for seniors, military and college students. Jessica took the time to listen to the concerns I have about my hair, the look I was trying to achieve and she genuinely wanted to make sure I left happy - which I certainly did! She used some new products, explaining their use but left it at that. I have finally found a new salon where I can walk in and know I will be comfortable with my stylist, leave delighted with my haircut as well as being content with the amount I spend. Effective, efficient, caring, and courteous are just some of the words to describe New Beginnings and their team! Thank you!!

This review is specifically for Christina. Wow, wow, wow…read more Christina was doing my hair (color and cut) for a couple of years but as I was spending more and more time in Maine I'd flirted around with other salons and hairdressers closer to home. But you know how you look in the mirror one day and think "What happened to my hair?" well, that happened and I realized my color just wasn't working. I figured I'd suck up the extra drive and go see Christina again. Best decision EVER! My hair is no longer dry/showing the grey through a kind of weird translucent color/looking terrible. Christina REALLY knows color and she's hidden the grey, found the perfect rich brown for me and with a glaze/gloss has made my hair look super shiny and healthy again. Not to mention a fabulous cut. I have another friend who visits Christina and she drives all the way from Connecticut so that should give you some idea of how great she is. If you're looking for a hair stylist who excels in color, will really listen to you and find the right color and cut for your skin tones/face shape etc then book an appointment with Christina asap. Prices are reasonable too - way less than Boston prices. It's also a very comfortable salon, if you're having your color done you're at a large table with tons of magazine and always some delicious sweet treat like cookies or muffins. There's a large parking lot ($2 for 2 hours) and cute stores and restaurants in the surrounding area. Stop by Les Fleurs across the street for beautiful flowers and home decor!

Dreading tmrw without Ashley--but grateful she sent me off with my hair dye brand and mix ratios.

Unfortunately the worst experience ever. I have literally never left a review before, but this…read moreexperience was honestly really horrible. Would not recommend. I came in asking for a basic brown balayage with lighter pieces and made it very clear that I do not like red tones in my hair. I even showed a reference photo. I ended up with noticeable HOT PINK highlights, which was completely unexpected and not what I asked for at all. There was no conversation or confirmation that any kind of pink tone would be added to my hair. I gave the salon a chance to fix it and came back, spending over 8 hours across 2 days trying to correct it. Unfortunately, the end result still has red undertones and now looks muddy, not like a balayage. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled. The owner was dismissive and blamed the result on a very slight color filter on my phone, saying I "should have known" I was getting pink. Even if a photo looked slightly warm, that does not justify adding hot pink tones without clearly communicating that to a client first. The owner honestly seemed annoyed that I was there and barely finished drying my hair. When I expressed that I was still unhappy after spending $300 on something that wasn't what I asked for, I was told I would have had to pay that amount regardless, and the conversation was essentially shut down. I also tried calling afterward to resolve things and never received a response. I understand that miscommunications can happen, which is why I gave them the opportunity to fix it. But the lack of accountability, poor communication, and unprofessional attitude made this a really frustrating experience. I literally cried for hours straight after coming home with pink hair, and then to be told it was my fault and to not be offered a discount/ partial refund is CRAZY. This is the reference photo I showed, what I received, and then the "correction"
