Ok. How have I not reviewed Kenneth Wildes before now?! I have been going here for 7 years, and am so glad I started. I used to see Shawneen, and now see Emily. I cannot say enough great things about either one of them. Both do an amazing job - I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair for WEEKS after my cuts. I put my head in their hands and trust them to style me in a way that works, and they always have. We have a great conversation, but can also sit in silence if we want. The staff is always friendly and professional, but not in a stuffy way. Things have obviously changed since the pandemic. I used to sit in the entry way while waiting, where they had a big container for water, and sometimes even snacks. Now you walk in and get taken to the sinks immediately. But I'm still always offered something to drink. read more

I walked into this salon as a newcomer who hated my hair. I walked out LOVING, LOVING LOVING my haircut by Kristen. The one I've ever had. She worked with my hair, explaining everything she was doing and telling me which products I could use for my dry and frizzy hair. I can't recommend Kristen more highly. She is very personable and just lovely. read more

This place is big for nothing moved stylist to here been coming here for a little bit now and each time is not consistent! I also overheard staff gabbing about each other what an unpleasant experience! Won't be back! They are also closed read more

I've been getting my hair done by Shawneen for over 10 years. And seriously, I've never had a bad cut. She is such a talented stylist, and extremely thoughtful as well. She helped me explore different looks that I never would have thought of, yet never pushed me in a direction that I wasn't comfortable with. Her questions are nicely done to gain a depth of understanding. She's so good though that she's able to interpret my less than intelligible answers and turn them into just what I had hoped. Once we found a style that I really like, she's been able to do it flawlessly consistent for years and years. These days I have a beard, and she even got a beard trimmer to make it look great. Never thought I'd say this... but I always enjoy visiting the salon with her. We discuss interesting topics and I like her point of view. And she's not too talkative either. Sometimes just the cut, no chit chat :-) The entire staff is super friendly and professional. Kenny and Kris seem to have done a really nice job with making it a great place to work and that comes out in the way people treat customers and each other. A while back my wife wasn't happy at her old salon and started to see Shawneen. Now she raves about the styling and other services she gets there as well. She's been referring friends and colleagues too. Oh yea, and she's switched all her products too because they have great brands and the staff is well educated on the different pros & cons of each item. BTW, never pushy tactics either. Just what you want or need for your specific situation. Overall, Shawneen is the best stylist I've ever had, and Kenneth Wild is a great salon for me. read more

Have to give 5 stars AGAIN for jessica- haven't had to fix my hair after a blow out in a million years! Not only does she know how to properly straighten curly thick hair, but she makes you feel comfortable and is a lot of fun to talk to. A few women in my family see her and love her too read more

I have been to Kenneth Wildes Salon twice now. Nathaly knows color really well and gives a Vidal Sassoon precision cut. For reference I have long, thick dark blonde hair that required a full foil. I left looking like a natural blonde with a long layered style that lifts me up instead of weighs me down. I am picky---the point is for this to look natural not dyed. Nathaly clearly "gets it". The vibe of the salon is very pleasant. It's up to date, friendly and uses products I like. Both visits I have seen other customers depart looking fantastic. Many appear to be repeat customers which is always a good sign. Before trying KW Salon I really did my research. In previous years I had used a salon on Newbury that churned out blondes. I was looking for a place easier to get to that could do the job as well. Additionally, over the years the smell of certain brands of hair dye has become a problem. There are a few brands that I just stay away from due to the strong ammonia smell that lasts for days. I should note that when visiting this salon it doesn't smell of hair dye either. The ventilation and ceiling fans do the job well. Someone cared enough to get this right and I really appreciate it. My initial criteria for giving KW a try was this: -easy to get to (parking in rear) -loreal kerastas or goldwell color available -a stylist that had some Vidal Sassoon training previously -a stylist that is strong with color as well as cut I have also recommended Nathaly to my sister who has thick curly hair and always has a hard time finding those who know how to work with it. read more

I would 100% recommend Kenneth Wildes to anyone looking for an unbelievable luxury salon in Newton. I came to Steven wanting something new and fresh and he completely understood my vision. He is a PRO. Best haircut I've ever gotten. I've gotten balayage, a Brazilian blowout, hair cut, brow waxings, and more from Kenneth Wildes and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Everyone there is so friendly and professional, and the services are phenomenal. Also, they sell every Kerastase product under the sun and the location couldn't be more convenient. Definitely the best salon I've found in the area. read more

Please take your business (and your hair) somewhere else!!!! This place is stuck up, rude and pretentious!!!! And you would think that with so much attitude at least they would do a good job!!!! I got a very mediocre haircut, something I could have gotten for the fraction of the price at walk-in place. Then she styled it horrendously making me look 20 years older. When I told her that I don't usually style my hair this way, she gave me an attitude and basically told me that she knows better. They all act there like they are some kind of style gurus. Pathetic, overpriced, rude and completely does not live up to the standard it pretends to be. read more

TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. I went here to Sanela and got a good but EXTREMELY expensive cut. I scheduled another cut 6 months in advance. I had a wedding to go to in August that I needed it cut for. Unfortunately, a work trip called and I had to cancel to reschedule. That was in July. They couldn't fit me in until September (after the wedding.) I pleaded with them and waited patiently for another appointment. They left me a voicemail regarding one that came up for a Saturday. I called them back right away. The receptionist said she would "cancel the other person who took the appointment" and call me right back. I never heard back from this stupid salon. And to top it off, today I got a call about my appointment in September! After all that. Seriously, folks, getting your hair cut should NOT be this difficult. My warning is to not go -- you may just like it and then suffer inconsiderate and infuriating idiocy by the stupid front desk. read more

I have been going to Kenneth Wildes Salon religiously for the past two years, and my hair has never looked more fabulous! My stylist is Nicole, and she is amazing. I had a disastrous hair cut when I first went to see her and was incredibly nervous about trying a new stylist. She spent time to figure out what would look best on me based on my hair type and face structure. Now I just tell her to do whatever she thinks will look good and the results are always great. She is great with color too! I don't agree with the other posts about the weird vibe; all of the stylists and receptionists have always been polite and very complimentary. Yes it is busy, particularly on weekends, but what do you expect since all of the stylists are very talented? If you don't like being "sized up" and getting really professional advice from hip stylists who appreciate fashion and want to help you look your best, then go to Great Clips. read more

I bounced around several well known salons before I landed here.. I've been going here for a few years and love the service. Sanela is AMAZING with short hair like mine..never butchy and always beautifully cut. I have since moved out of state but when I come to visit, I always make an appointment to see her! I have never experienced any snobbery here..the front desk staff is friendly and efficient. They seem to manage their time well as I'm never left waiting like I have in several other salons. Downstairs is a bit dark and bleak but Diana gives a great manicure! I love it! read more

I went to this salon for the 2 years I lived in Boston, and finally decided to review it because I finally joined Yelp. Noticed that the other reviews are from 2007, so take that into consideration when reading my review! I was new to Boston and asked a coworker where she got her hair done because she came in with a great cut one day. She said Kenneth Wildes and that she had Adelle, who she learned about from her sister. So I requested Adelle and stuck with her the entire time. She, along with the entire staff, is young and hip, and though she can be chatty - it's good conversation at the end of a stressful work day. When I first started going to Kenneth Wildes, I was a little intimidated by the atmosphere. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal, so the posh setting was a bit over my head. However the staff was never more than polite, whether in person or on the phone. Adelle always gave me a great cut. She was really good about listening to my ideas and giving me her input before jumping in. I also had no problem telling her "surprise me" and seeing what she came up with. I have really fine and straight hair, so I'm always looking for a cut that is easy to maintain with good body. Adelle succeeded each time, and managed to give me a different cut every time so that I didn't get bored with anything. The only gripe I have is that they book up really quickly. There's always chances of cancellations, but usually by the time I thought about making an appointment, it was another 3-4 weeks till I got in. Maybe this was because I had limited hours I could make it in, but still. So it requires some planning. Though in all fairness, at the end of every appointment they asked if I wanted to book my next one, and I always declined because I never knew my work schedule that far in advance. I drove from Somerville and waited 3-4 weeks for this place, and for me - it was worthwhile. The price was also more than fair (Adelle was initially $30, but went up to $45 after promoted). I'd go back if still in Boston. read more

Just recently went in to see Chris for a hair cut after a ONE YEAR break for any cuts, trims, etc. As usual, she is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, she gave me the most beautiful hair cut, feminine and pretty and just what I asked for (a beautiful "shag" a la Anne Hathaway). The quality cuts and service here are always top notch, I highly recommend this salon. read more

I've moved over to this salon because I needed to follow my girl, Shawneen. Keyword: NEED. I've already written about Shawneen in my review at the previous salon but all I can say is that I trust her completely with my hair, she is the sweetest person, and it's just always such a joy to see her and have her work her magic. The salon itself is nice. There is a metered parking lot and setting up and rescheduling appointments has always been easy. I've always done it via email which makes it very convenient for me. Everyone is always very sweet there and they seem to genuinely get along together which of course is nice to see. They provide a bunch of other beauty services but I've never taken advantage of them. read more

My stylist, Shawneen, recently returned to Kenneth Wildes from another salon. I love Shawneen, as is evidenced by my willingness to not only follow her from salon to salon, but also to take the trip from Brooklyn to do so! While I was initially skeptical about this move, I generally think of newton as over priced and impossible to park in, I'm now in favor. This particular visit I was contemplating a major change in style for the summer. Shawneen and I were talking about what to do, when one of the senior stylists happened to walk by. She stayed for 10 minutes helping us go through options and consulting even though I was not her client. It was obvious from their interaction that the staff thought of themselves as a team and not simply individuals sharing a work space. The atmosphere was friendly and collegial and it was obvious that people were happy to be there. As a result I got better service and had a fabulous haircut. I'm hoping that Shawneen stays here for a while! Reading the other reviews about the receptionists and other staff I can't say this agrees with my experience at all. Everyone I interacted with was polite, friendly and professional. Granted it was a Friday afternoon and not a busy weekend but I had no complaints about the service. read more

First time at Kenneth Wildes Salon and I will be back. Great city vibe without the city. Plenty of parking. Accommodating staff. The reason for coming back? Mr. Short Haircut King himself, Kenny Wildes. Although I wasn't being seen by Wildes, the stylist with whom I was seeing consulted with him to best reach my hair "goals". First asking permission from the original stylist and myself, Wildes took over and worked his magic. I came in feeling a bit down and bored with my style and left feeling like a sexy and confident woman. Wildes analyzed my features, heard what I wanted, and used his experience to make me look amazing. This guy is confident in his skills, you can't help feel great and stylish after a visit to his chair. No pressure tactics to buy products, book appointments or add extra services. Saw Wildes cut long hair while I was there, totally amazing as well. Each woman in his chair looked fabulous. Saves me a trip to Newbury St. read more

Spectacular salon, service, staff. First time here and it won't be the last! I had a hair color consultation with Steve (at no charge!) before booking an appointment. I have been to many hair colorists over the years and no one asked the kind of questions Steve did about hair color, hair care, hair style preferences, etc. The day of my appointment, he did an amazing and thorough job transforming my hair color. The end result was beautiful and natural looking. All I can say is Steve is a hair color genius. In addition, EVERYONE at the salon is super-friendly and welcoming. I haven't gotten a hair cut here (yet) but I have no doubt the stylists will be wonderful. Bottom line: This is your go-to place if you're looking for a hair colorist who is fun, friendly and a hair color genius! read more

A friend of mine recommended Kenneth Wildes salon to take my Mom while in town for a hair cut and blow dry. Jessica was available and she did a great job. My Mom hair is short, and Jessica gave her a really nice cut, she loved it. I recommend Jessica, she was really nice and did what we want. I will come back for sure. Thank you. read more

I had a wonderful experience today. Carlie suggested I see Emily for a trim today. I don't normally let just ANYONE trim my hair. But Emily did great, she listened to my concerns, suggested a better hair care routine for at home and hooked me up with some better products for my hair. I rebooked with her and she's the only person I will let trim my hair!!!! It looks great and she didn't take it too short. read more

My friend referred me to Carly for a spray tan. It was my first spray tan ever so I was a little nervous but Carlie made the experience so pleasant! She made me feel comfortable and did a thorough job. She answered all my questions about the ingredients and products she used. I was especially nervous that my tan wouldn't last, but the product I bought was awesome and made my tan last a full 7 days! Definitely would recommend (especially to first timers) if you're looking for a spray tan in the Newton area. read more

I got a great (much needed!) haircut from Kristin at Kenneth Wildes last weekend. I had been a little worried about going in during the pandemic because I have not been going places indoors, but I am so glad I did. I felt incredibly safe the whole time--there was a different entrance and exit, my temperature was taken upon arrival, and everyone wore masks throughout the entire appointment. I was also given a plastic bag to store my things in. I felt very comfortable after seeing the procedures Kenneth Wildes had in place and could tell that they are taking extreme care to ensure the safety of their staff and clients. read more

I have been impressed with this salon for years. Shana not only does a great job with color, she is a kind, compassionate, lovely person. I also recently met Lois for the first time for an eye brow wax. She, too, did an exceptional job and was terrific - very kind, friendly, and patient. If that wasn't enough....the Covid-19 safety measures that this salon has taken is extremely impressive. Once I entered the salon, I immediately had my temperature taken, was given a robe, and a plastic bag to put my pocketbook in. During the entire time spent at the salon, I felt confident that the safety of clients and employees was very important. I would strongly recommend Kenneth Wildes Salon. read more

I couldn't wait to get my roots done after stores were slowly allowed to re-open in May. I was concerned about safety, however. When I went to Kenneth Wildes wondering if I was rushing things, I was totally surprised. Upon opening the door, a staff member greeted me and "prepped" me before I was allowed to enter the store. She took my temperature, made me throw away the gloves I had worn in and said I could have a new set if I wanted, masks were required, plus she gave me a plastic bag that my own purse and anything I had with me needed to go inside of. I haven't had ONE other place be so detailed about the cleaning and safety process. If you're wondering if it's okay to go, it is! Oh, the cut and color are incredible, too! read more

I am 'wilde' about Kenneth Wilde Salon! My dear friend always has beautifully shaped hair cuts and speaks so highly and enthusiastically about her stylist Kenny. In fact, Kenny has been sculpting her hair forever *cough*decades*cough*! So here I am, a frumpy lumpy geekette in T-shirt and jeans who last had a professional cut more that 10 years ago - back before I took a hiatus from software engineering to be with my son. And now that my son is older, I really have got to renew my spirit and get out into the world again! You know what I mean - dig out my favorite boots and pocketbooks, set the t-shirts aside, and start having hair style worth caring for - the kind that gives you that infusion of pride that wears as confidence. My dear friend set me up with an appointment, went in with me, and as soon as we approached the front desk we received warm and attentive service. Kenny kindly came over to introduce himself, and I headed off for a shampoo with Kim; 2 minutes after she started I realized I had really missed the true salon experience all these years... I confided in Kim about my embarrassing itchy scalp and history of cradle cap (ick - TMI?) and Kim took great care of me! So I was already completely relaxed when I was seated in Kenny's salon chair. Kenny was impeccably dressed, energized, combing my hair, looking at the shape of my face, and the million other details he is considering which make him a truly gifted stylist... I put the decisions in his hands... And Kenny completely nailed the perfect style for me right now as I transition from home back to the work place! It was a joy to talk with Kenny as he trimmed and shaped, the time flew, Kenny dried and refined with his flat iron. And I was ecstatic - the cut was just what I needed, the service was impeccable, and that whole frumpy feeling evaporated somewhere in the middle when my frizzy shapeless hair was tamed. All those years ago I used to pay a hefty penny to have my hair cut at a fine salon... And today I did pay a proportionate amount for Kenny's first-rate service and an impeccable hair cut and style. And I know that I am straight-up worth it! Life is short, Kenny is a keeper, I am worth investing in hair style, and I can feel the boost in personal confidence!! Thank you, so very much, Kenny.... read more

I have been delighted with the great cuts, service, and general light hearted but professional ambience at this salon. I recommend it to anyone who wants top quality without attitude. read more

Such a good place! They are really tuned into the little customer service details that matter (and lots of salons ignore... you know what I mean...) and they listen well to what you ask of them. Every person I've met there has been incredibly nice and very experienced. Kristen does a great job making my super short thinning hair look nice. I always get compliments on it. And the colorists are all really good. read more

My new go-to place! I got a great cut with Kim and Steven did a fantastic job on color. The staff were all so friendly and professional and accommodating. Really happy I found this salon! read more

I was not going to say anything about Kenneth and his salon but after finally getting my hair back in shape last week after 2 years, it brought back memories. I scheduled my first appointment there for my foil because my hairdresser at another salon had left. The colorist who did my hair, my very long, my very beautiful blonde milti- colored hair, had only been working there only a week or so (she found the job posting on Craig's List)! I thought the location was appealing vs. Newbury St. parking. It was a Friday afternoon and it took this girl 4 hours to foil my hair (no cut). Usually I am in and out of any other salon in about 2 or less. When she was done, it was not blonde but GOLDen with REDISH/PINKISH streaks! I cried. They took my money and told me to come back in the next morning to fix it. I returned Sat. morning to have Sanela (who was a good colorist but my understanding is she had it with Kenny and she is no longer there:) strip it and correct the color the best that she could. My hair was now dried and frazzled by all the chemicals. This process was another 4-5 hours; on a Saturday morning! As I was purchasing some products at the reception area before I left KENNETH SCREAMED at me in front of a full house (of pompous women snickering and looking at me because they found his theatrics and belittling of me so amusing) yelling that "I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY NOR WAS IT GREEN ENOUGH FOR ME TO COME INTO HIS SALON". are you freaking kidding me?!? I could NOT believe this creepy looking man with the fabulous reputation was speaking to me like this!!! I think HIS hairdressers are costing him money! I paid full price for this mess!!! He did not offer a refund AND conditioning treatments for say... a YEaR!!! He also screamed something about charging $200 about I could not afford a haircut from him!?!? I was not even interested in a haircut and if I were, I would NOT have had HIM cut it as I do not know if he even CAN or wants to cut 'long' hair! His motto to all of his employees is: cut it short... keep them coming back. All this was going on while he was working on someone's hair and the salon was full. It was like something I have never seen before nor expected to see. It would have been amusing to watch if it were not directed towards myself (I suppose that is why everyone was snickering) hahahaa!! What a SICKO!! This incident happened the summer before last but it has taken me all this time to actually have the strength to repeat this disgusting story.. I just had my hair cut a few days ago to cut the remaining mess from my locks from the damage that this salon did to me. Damage... both mentally and physically. Don't go here unless your money is "green enough", OR you are one of the many sick people in this world who feel the need to look down on others for your own low, twisted, self esteem. read more

Seriously, a few of my friends have said the service here was rude but in a rush, I called to see if I could get a quick blow out. I showed up with my 10 year old son, who had a book and was more then happy to read and the girl at front looked at him and said, " we don't allow kids in our salon". Seriously, a 10 year old is not allowed to read a book for half an hour in a salon. Why the hell are you in the burbs? Happy not to go back here with that attitude. Plenty of great places to get my hair done around Newton. read more

I went here for blonde highlights. The stylist did a great job. Having said that, I won't go back. The vibe in this salon is beyond weird. They overbook the stylists, so everyone is frazzled, and I was there for 3 1/2 hours. The poor woman who was doing my color had 4 or 5 clients going at all times. I watched an assistant break down in tears because one of the owners was apparently unkind to her. She spent the whole time I was there sniffing and red eyed. It was really pretty heartbreaking! I found the whole scene depressing. On top of all that, they wouldn't let me blow dry my own hair and I walked out with a soaking wet head on a freezing cold day. Not what I look for in a salon. Too bad, because the stylists seem talented. read more

You know as much as I love Nicole, I've had my last haircut here. My appointment usually requires an extra 15 minutes for blowdrying because its so curly, and apparently this is too much for the receptionists to handle because they messed up my appointment time AGAIN. In the last two years this is at least the fifth time this has happened. Its just not worth it. Im a busy grad student and I work about 50 hours a week and have a hard time getting an appointment as it is. They ought to fire the whole lot of them and get a bunch of new ones. Its a shame because they do a good job, their receptions (most, not all) suck. read more

Update 12/7/16: I decided to go back recently to the salon to try one more time. The staff that I had when I went a year before were all gone and new staff I met were more friendly and professional. The atmosphere also seemed better with everyone I met being more welcoming and friendly. I wanted to update due to the improvement I noticed. I really like who I see and didn't really want to leave unless I had to. I encourage the owner to continue making the experience an enjoyable one for his patrons. I followed Shawneen here after she left Sanela because I really liked her. After visiting her at this salon I couldn't help but wish that she would have stayed at Sanela. My impression of Kenneth Wildes salon is as follows: the front desk, while cordial, have an attitude. When you feel like you are an imposition, that's a problem. As for the stylists that work here, I definitely picked up on a disingenuous, stuffy attitude that may very well come from having to work in an extremely competitive environment. Finally, though the owner was decent to me, the reviews here tell me that he is arrogant. Because of these issues, I just can't bring myself to go back. Service and experience are everything. While I was not disappointed with my hair it just wasn't a pleasant enough experience for me to want to go back. read more

I have gone to Kenneth Wildes Salon for three hair cuts, but I won't go again. There is such a negative vibe about the place, like everyone (EVERYONE) is sizing you up and you fail the comparison. My stylist Gia was truly fantastic, and I tried hard to overcome the psychological daggers because I liked her and I really liked her cuts, but I finally decided it wasn't worth psyching myself up just to walk into a hair salon. I normally wait too long to get my next hair cut, and so I usually look, what's the word, unkempt, by the time I get to a salon. At a place like this, apparently I was the only one who didn't go to their stylist before going for a haircut. And the receptionist, I think she's too young and nobody has taught her anything about customer service. Yes, she is really pretty, and yes, she has lovely long hair, but that lovely long hair hides her telephone headset, so when you walk in you don't realize she's on a telephone call, and she doesn't indicate to you that she's on a telephone call, so she just stares at you in silence, which naturally gives you, the borderline middle-aged, unkempt, unmade up customer the impression that this pretty young thing cannot bring herself to speak to you because she is one of the beautiful people and you aren't. Even if that's not what she's thinking, management needs to get a clue about what the perceptions are of their place, because unless you are "one of them" (take that as you will), you just feel that they've accepted you as a customer because they need your filthy filthy lucre, but they really hope you don't come back. read more

I have been going to Kenneth Wilde Salons for over 15 years.I love how they are always updating and innovative, I received wonderful color from Natalie yesterday and a masterful cut from Kenny. I highly recommend this salon read more

I went to Kenneth Wildes for nearly 4 years after trying several other well-regarded salons in the area. I'm very glad I did. Nicole Vaiani was my stylist and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist and/or colorist who is not only professional, but also knows how to structure a great and sustainable stylist/client relationship. Not only are her cuts precise and the quality of hair service outstanding, but she is personally wonderful to interact with and always makes you feel like you are a valued client. Over the past four years, there have been many assistants and in my judgement they were consistently well-trained and instructed. The front desk staff is friendly and does a very good job managing the operations. If you go here, it is important to understand that they are a very popular salon and their stylists have loyal followings so it is important to book your reservation well in advance. Given the number of requests, I have found them to be as flexible as could be expected with reservation times given the constraints. Even after moving out of the area to greater NYC, I continued to trek to Boston for my haircuts for nearly a year because it was so difficult to find anything comparable in my area. Unfortunately that will no longer be possible, but Kenneth Wildes and Nicole will always serve as the baseline to which I compare future salons. I couldn't recommend this salon more highly and if you are considering switching to this establishment, consider asking for Nicole - you'll be very happy with your decision. Other benefits of this salon include: easily accessible location in Newton Centre; lots of parking; relaxing interior atmosphere; next to both a Starbucks and a Panera Bread to grab a coffee before or after your appointment; they are a full service salon that offers a full range of salon services and selection of high-quality products; good selection of new reading material read more

I have been going to Kristin for over 20 years, the salon is clean and comfortable, so nicely put together. I am always made to feel welcome, a smile and sense of humor is always present. I would never leave! Steven is awesome, knows his color! Go here!!! read more

I have been coming to Kenneth Wildes Salons for almost a year now. The salon got recommend to me by a friend of mine. I went there for the first time and was very impressed how professional and friendly the salon was and is. All the staff is very outgoing and makes you feel right at home. I had hair color and hair cut and the price was so reasonable for what I was and am getting. I feel so at home and so relaxed there. I use Adel for my hair Stylist. She is wonderful and very knowledgeable. I would 100% recommend trying out the salon. read more

Since I followed Yelp reviews in deciding to go to Kenneth Wildes, I wanted to get back on here to say thank you! I really needed an experienced, knowledgeable colorist to get my hair back to the bright blonde that has been missing since we entered quarantine (context: my hair is a pixie cut with layers, so sometimes a challenge for foils in less experienced hands). I called and was given an appointment with Nathaly, and a couple of days later, the salon called back to see if I could come in earlier so she could spend more time with me. That kind of attention to detail is what I feel like I've been missing with many previous colorists, and it paid off like crazy. Nathaly took her time, asked me a lot of questions, and then mixed up the exact color I had in mind for the partial foil. The salon is taking excellent precautions, Covid-wise, and everyone was just lovely. I feel like I've come home to a salon I can stay with. Thanks Nathaly, Jessica for the great wash, and everyone here on Yelp. read more

Shawneen gave me my best haircut ever...love it! Also had a chemical peel by Kara that has left my face so soft and the fine lines are almost nonexistent. Very pleasant experience. read more

wow!!!!! I'm stunned that this super cool salon has only 6 reviews, come on Newton, give your dues here! OK, I've started going here to see Kenny himself, as I've heard from different sources, he's the "God of short hair cuts" and I needed a fix job. I found that he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to hair shaping, as he takes into consideration your face shape, your head shape, your hair texture, the hair's natural direction and your life style. He gives me an amazing pixie cut every time and I never look like "I'm not sure which way I'm swinging", if you know what I mean :) He is very $$$, but I think if you're at a loss and are in need of a professional eye and touch (maybe for the first time in your hair-cutting life) I'd definitely invest, at least for the first cut, to find your shape. As far as the "weird vibe", I don't see it, everyone's busy doing their own thing and aren't really looking at you much at all, I'm not sure what you have to be wearing or what you have to look like, to get "looks", nobody cares... read more
