Great Hair Salon. It's been here a long time with the same owner. Nice vibe & hairstylist's are great.

We started going here about a year ago and were so happy with Miguel and his work and the price, that my husband took back the entire family (kids and even in-laws). We loved him so much that we would wait as long as possible to get our hair cut there when we came in to town. My issue is with the owner who charged me $95 for a "last minute cancellation" because I called the morning of appointment REALLY sick with the flu. I had previously booked my appointment several days earlier. However, Miguel cancelled it because he was sick. My son visited him the next day and then got very sick (maybe from Miguel, maybe from our flight, who knows), then I got sick, tested positive for covid and looked like this picture. I can't imagine I would have even been allowed to come in with a fever and serious flu symptoms; so being over-charged for a simple cut and dry is very frustrating. I really hate to write this review, because I look forward to going to Miguel every time, but we won't be going back, unless the funds are refunded. I called 3 times and was very clear about the situation, and apparently the owner, Karen, would prefer to lose 5 clients, for a great stylist, than refund a sick client. read more

Update to original review - Sometimes how a business handles a mistake says more than when everything goes right. After an extremely disappointing haircut, Karen personally reached out to me and went above and beyond to make things right. Her professionalism and care turned the situation around. As a customer, that level of commitment to customer service goes a long way. I've decided to give the salon another chance and will be returning to the stylist I originally booked with. I'm grateful for how things were handled and for the effort made to feel heard and valued. read more

Amazing! I had a very special black tie event in August at Marble House in Newport, and needed to look on-point for the millions of selfies I would inevitably take. Natural Creations came through with a gorgeous and reasonably priced special event style that I adored! Because the event was so important, I booked both a trial run a few days prior and the actual style for day-of with Glenda. She was fantastic, and really made the requests I had based on inspiration photos pop. Since the party was "space themed", she curated a fun updo with space buns and lots of curls. I got tons of compliments, and it was well worth the visit to be professionally styled! I look forward to visiting for more events in the future! read more

I just want to give a huge shoutout to Marissa. I moved to RI for a short time coming from LA but Marissa did wonders to my hair. My hair isnt easy hair either. Its super thick and heavy! It was a huge challenge when i got there after having COVID hair with 3 different colors in my hair. Ive always struggled to find good hairstylists and I was blessed finding Marissa. Ive gone to her several times and just got my hair done 2 and a half months ago and its grown out so beautifully you wouldnt even know its time to go back! I recently moved and am SO sad i wont see her again but if your looking for a new stylist, shes the one. If i didn't convince you, the pictures will. (: read more

This review is specifically for Lindsay who I found after searching Yelp for a new hair stylist/colorist now that I am moving to Newport. How lucky was I to find her!? She is amazing! She fixed what another colorist had done to me while (brassy, underdeveloped highlights which looked more like caramel than butter ‍) as I was transitioning from my usual stylist and she gave me a very nice cut as well. I couldn't be happier and can't wait to see her again when I moved to the area full-time in the fall! read more

Kayla did an AMAZING job with my hair. I wanted to go blonder and my hair was pretty rough looking before. (Color was fading etc). She did such a great job with meeting my expectations and being realistic. So sad I'm moving when I finally found someone I like for my hair! read more

Made an Yelp account just for this review. I had a great experience the first time I went for highlights. The second time I didn't: instead of highlights, I was wrongfully booked for a "root touch up" which is a faster service. When the hairstylist realized it was actually a longer service, she went back to the reception probably to update the appointment and the price, which is fine of course. The problem was that she rushed a lot. Not only the highlights were really far away from my scalp, it was not blended at all. Also, that the tone of the new highlights didn't match the rest of my hair. I don't know if I'd come back, but if so, I'd choose a different professional. She was really nice and she was really great the first time, but the second was a disaster. With tip, the service was almost $300 which is a lot to have a rushed serviced and, honestly, to feel bad afterwards. English is not my first language. I emphasized "I want what I had the last time", while booking the second time. Since I was told I had a profile with a record of previous appointments. Clearly there was an error at reception, but it doesn't justify how my hair turned out, I could have come back another day. read more

Last visit was a real disappointment. They switched my stylist to a supposedly senior stylist but she was NOT. She even ask another hairdresser how to match my roots. So, I knew I was in trouble. She didn't cover the grey the first time and had to add more color. She had no idea how to wash hair and. Twice left shampoo in it. I ended up walking out and had to raise my hair when I got home. Never Again! read more

Lindsay is the best!! I broke up with my old hair stylist after 10 years and I'm so glad that I found Lindsay. She knew exactly what I wanted and always left me feeling fresh and gorgeous. I love her and you will too!! read more

I was quite disappointed with the hair and make up services I received. I had my make up done by Cindy and didn't even recognize myself. My daughter kept saying how beautiful I looked but I think she was a bit tipsy. The make up was caked in my wrinkles and I looked like I had gigantic black caterpillars on my eyes. I just don't know why she had to put on such an excessive amount of lashes. At no time did she ever ask what kind of look I wanted. When I first walked in, my daughter-in-law was already finished and my first thought was how overdone she looked (she's 40). Little did I know how badly overdone I would look (I'm 62). My daughter, (she's 26) was getting her face done at the time and I kept thinking how much better I like her make up when she does it herself. It seemed like a one size fit all type of deal - everyone's make up looked the same but the older you are, the worse it looks. I think it was Lindsay who did my hair. This was a TOTAL rip-off. She did ask me what I wanted, and I said I wasn't sure. So she said she'd curl it and then "we'd play". She merely took a curling iron and some spray and made a few curls. Then bobby-pinned some hair in the back. $75 for that?! As hopeless as I am with hair styling tools, I could have done the same. We had done all this for a wedding, and later at the wedding, I saw all the hair styles of the girls in the wedding, and they all had such cute styles. Someone had come to the hotel. I sure wish I had had that person! But really, I think I learned to just accept myself for who I am and there was no need to spend $180 + tips on trying to be something I'm not. read more

I went to Jessica for a balayage and cut, she did an amazing job. My hair turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier! read more

Candace was awesome. I've been searching for someone who could do the trifecta - color, cut and style. I saw her cuts on Yelp and made an appointment and I wasn't disappointed. She's knowledgeable about hair, color, and scalp sensitivity. She examined my hair, which was way past my shoulders, and I told her it needed a good cut so it moved better. I showed her some pictures of what I thought worked well and she totally nailed it. It's clear she loves her work! She gave me movie star hair and I love it. The next day I went to the gym and my hair still looked great afterwards. On day three, my hair was still holding its style and looked bouncy. The salon is cute and unpretentious. Lots of clients coming and going (good sign). Street parking is plentiful in fall- winter. read more

Fantastic cut every time! I always get a cut when I'm back in town and every stylist has exceeded my expectations. It's also a great and relaxing experience every time. For those weary of Covid, Natural Creations is doing a fantastic job to keep their staff and patrons safe. Their second location even offers a service where it is only you and the stylist in the location. 5/5 every time! You will not be disappointed. read more

I was attending a black tie wedding in Newport and booked an appointment for hair and makeup at Natural Creations because they had excellent reviews and were close to my hotel. Glenda did my updo and Cindy did my makeup. I had photos of styles I wanted and they did exactly what I asked for. I was so happy with how I looked and felt confident the whole day! read more

Traveling through New Port for the month. My hair decided it needed to be cut prior to me getting back home to my normal stylist. Victoria provided my cut and style. I love my hair and her service was fantastic. If I lived here I'd be back. She was kind, and listened to my desires for the cut along with my worries. She was also easy to chat with. Thank you Victoria!! read more

I've gone to the same girl for my hair since I was 10 years old in Memphis... It took me 3 months of living in Newport and some extremely tangly hair to build the courage to get it cut. I of course used Yelp to find a salon... I saw all the great reviews for Natural Creations, but it was the pictures that sold me. Walking in, the salon is adorable and cozy. Candace was extremely empathetic and so cute. My hair looks amazing. I really couldn't have asked for a better first experience! read more

Candace is the MacGyver of hair color. I came in with hair that was platinum blonde with dark, dark brown roots. The ends were completely stripped of color from all the years of being a box blonde, broke nursing student. I tried low lights before but nothing could hold in these broken strands. I thought I didn't have many options to now look like a professional. But once Candace was done with me, my hair was a perfect blend of blonde and low lights. What a pleasant surprise to no longer look like a retired stripper! Not to mention that she is super sweet and funny. Will definitely be back! read more

So; I previously got a haircut at a different salon.. I was going to the long bob (shorter in back; longer in front). It was cut that way from other place... but definitely without the dedication of work my hair needed. Overall I was not as happy as I was hoping. I yelp messaged Natural Creations my scenario asking if they could help.. They responded and offered appointment options for the day I was looking for (next day)! The Front Desk staff is very welcoming!! Shiloh was my stylist. She SAVED my hair! The look I was going for was achieved all because of her precision and dedication to working with my hair type. I seriously cannot commend her work with any more greater positivity or thankfulness. Such a thorough stylist and a hair perfectionist for all the right reasons. Amazing talent - her level 3 stylist clearly shows through her work. Totally recommend! read more

Natural Creations - Hair cut :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Glenda is a superstar. I hadn't had a haircut in almost a year... needless to say I was overdue and ready for a change! I took a leap of faith and booked some highlights and a cut at a place convenient to me and with good reviews. I showed her a few pictures of what I had in mind and she made it happen! Her fur baby assistant was a wonderful added bonus! Will definitely be returning..well before another year goes by. Highly recommend. My hair has never looked better. read more

I recently moved to the island and I wanted to get just a haircut. Wash, cut and blow dry. This was the best experience I've had with a stylist. Keeley (I'm sorry if I spell it wrong!) was amazing and was able to style my hair to exactly what I wanted. When I first arrived to the salon I was intimidated because I don't go to salons that often but Keeley made me feel very comfortable. I'll definitely be back to see her! read more

I loved my straight haircut! I had a lovely experience and was greeted warmly and politely, natural creations never fails! read more

This was my first time at the salon. marissa took great care of me. My color and cut are excellent. The only issue is that it was expensive, but my fault as I didn't ask for charges in advance. But a great job overall! read more

I had the great idea to cut my own bangs.... sure why not? It looked pretty easy on YouTube right? Well, you can imagine how that turned out. Being new to the area I relied on the Yelp community to guide me in finding a hair professional that would not only fix my bangs but also style and color my hair. Thankfully, I found Morgana AND she had an appointment within a few days. She is superb. She was patient and took the time to completely understand what I wanted. Her priority throughout my visit was to ensure I was happy with the results. Hands down, Morgana is amazing and I have already scheduled my next appointment. read more

Several months ago I was looking for a very specific layered haircut. I came across this place on yelp and saw a photo of Morgana's work. I decided to book an appointment with her and was beyond thrilled! She did exactly what I asked and had the same mindset as I did with the cut. I've now gone to her twice and will continue to do so! read more

I went to this salon for the first time and had an amazing experience with Jess! She was extremely professional and took my hair from a faded orange balayage to a more sleek and darker color. She gave me advice on keeping the shine and moisture in my hair and recommended products to use, and I am THRILLED with the result! The salon is very clean and bright, and everyone there was very kind. If you are looking for a salon or stylist to use, this is a great one and Jess did an awesome job! read more

Love this salon! I love Aveda and had Kim do my root color. I have very thick, unruly hair and Kim does an amazing blow out or curl with a wide rod, whatever I am in the mood for. She is super nice and really knows her stuff. I highly recommend Kim. The salon is awesome, has reasonable prices, and a very friendly helpful staff! read more

Thank you Sooooooo much Lyndsay and all the staff, I absolutely LOVE MY HAIR!!! Finally, I got what I wanted and in one visit, imagine that. I had to leave the state of MD to find a GREAT stylist that understood what I wanted. This salon is fantastic, very accommodating, friendly, & courteous. I'm so thrilled with my blended grays. read more

I sent a request on Yelp to Natural Creations for my mom to get a wash and blowout before my daughter's wedding. They responded right away and also called to set up the appointment. I was so glad I didn't have to run around to get an appointment. My mom was very happy to have clean, styled hair at the wedding! read more

Made an Appt while in town for the weekend with Marissa. Had a haircut and style. She did an amazing job, exactly what I was looking for. She was so welcoming, nice, and talkative the hour flew by! read more

I booked a wash/blow out here before a wedding that I was attending. They did such a fantastic job. After thoroughly washing my hair, Kelsey began to blow it out, only to realize I was in desperate need of a hair cut (my ends were super dead). She offered, at no charge to "dust" the ends. Now, I've never had this done before. But even still I could understand she went above and beyond. Essentially giving me a trim all over. She even fixed the front of my hair. On top of all of that, the weather was TERRIBLE that day and I had a few hours until the wedding. She pinned my curls up and put a shower cap on so that the curls wouldn't get ruined in the weather. Couldn't have been more grateful for all of the help that day. THANKS AGAIN!! read more

I came here while in town for a wedding and had a great experience! Booking an appointment online was really easy and I received a text message confirming my appointment two days before. As soon as I stepped foot in the salon, I was warmly greeted and asked if I would like any coffee or water. I had a late afternoon appointment on a Saturday and I was seen right away for my blow out. William was very knowledgable and professional. I requested that I wanted my hair blown straight but not to lay too flat around my face and he gave me great volume that lasted through the night! read more

The time had come to go from long to pixie, and I must say, I was both nervous/anxious and excited simultaneously. Fear was unnecessary though as I put my trust and faith into the talented hands of one of Natural Creation's finest - Morgana. She took exquisite care of me from easing my trepidation with a glass of wine accompanied by words of reassurance, to a sensational wash/head massage leaving me in "La La Land," to meticulous attentiveness to manifest my desired new cut based off a poorly developed description of what I was trying to picture in my mind's eye. I love the cut and the new air it brings! Thank you Morgana! read more

THANK YOU LINDSAY!!!! I went to another Newport salon this morning and had a terrible color experience. They didn't listen to what I want and I ended up with a murky mess. I am starting a new job on Monday and wanted to walk in feeling confident. Despondent, I called Natural Creations and asked if they could get me in this weekend for a correction. They had an appointment with Lindsay available in a few hours! I came in and Lindsay saved my hair. What was once a murky, reddish purplish mess is now a rich chocolate brown. Not the strawberry blonde I thought I'd have when I woke up this morning, but a really good look nonetheless. I am so appreciative of Lindsay and the kind desk staff for turning around what had been a terrible day. The salon itself is warm and welcoming and every staff member I encountered was friendly. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I waited as long as I could - but finally came to terms with the fact that my hair could not wait until I went back to Philly for the winter - so I held my breath and daringly ventured into a new salon, without knowing anything about it or the people working there. My only stipulation was that it be an Aveda salon - and in Newport, Natural Creations is it. I was even more nervous when I was told that any day this week was fine to come in. But I told myself it's because it's off season, during the day during the week - not because they process people's hair until it falls out. So I got an appointment for the next day. Located on lower Thames, it doens't look like a whole lot from the outside. It's an old house, typical for the Yachting District, in bad need of a coat of paint. I went in and was offered herbal tea while I waited for my stylist, Remy, to arrive. (I was 10 minutes early, so no biggie.) I kept it simple - told her I just wanted to clean up my layers and touch up my roots. When she showed me the "color" (the fake hair used to illustrate their colors) I was a little nervous - it looked darker than my usual blonde. But after she assured me it would be blonde in the end, I chose to trust her. The color came out perfectly. She uses a different technique to achieve the end result than my normal colorist in Philly, but in the end the roots were matched perfectly to the rest of my color and she put highlights in the top and front. She didn't chop off all my hair - she just tipped the ends and cleaned up the layers, like I'd asked. All the people who work there were very friendly and funny. We had lots of great salon-chair dish throughout the whole process, which made it fun and the time go by fast. Cut, color blowdry was $130 - similar to what I pay in Philly. So Remy, you passed the test! I won't be afraid to get my hair done while in Newport next year! read more

After a few failed attempts at ombre highlights elsewhere, I decided to give Candace at Natural Creations a chance to fix me up. She made me feel comfortable talking openly about what I wanted so there was no confusion. We went over color swatches and what I liked most about the whole process was how collaborative the stylists are. Candace talked about what her plan of action was and got feedback from a few of the other girls to ensure the best possible outcome. Several hours later, it was time for the big reveal and I am happy to say I love my hair! I stopped in a week later so Candace could check up and make sure I still loved my hair. She trimmed a few pieces here and there to really finish off the hairstyle perfectly. As for the salon itself, the vibe is sort of "hustle and bustle" in the best possible way. It's a relaxed, fun environment. The clients were an even mix of locals and out-of-towners. They seem to get many clients coming in for wedding hair and makeup and I also noticed quite a few men frequent the salon, which was sort of refreshing from the normal estrogen-hormone-fest that some salons can be. A few tips to note: * You can charge your services to a credit card but gratuities are CASH ONLY. * They are an Aveda salon. * Coffee, tea, etc. are always offered. read more

Hands down the best salon! The ladies are so friendly and the vibe is so fun and welcoming! Emily was so helpful and patient wth me when I called to make my appointment. She gave great suggestions and recommended Bethanie. Who in turn was AMAZING!!! Bethanie was so sweet and personable! Definitely LOVE my color & cut! read more

I decided to spend the day in Newport (I'm from CT) and on a whim was really feeling the need for a change and hopped on yelp and found Natural Creations. As soon as I saw they were an Aveda salon I figured my chances of getting a walk in appointment would be slim to none. I called at 11:00 am and had an appointment for 1:15. Lori was amazing and didn't question my desire to chop 5 inches off. Think long mermaid waves to bouncy, fluffy long bob. In the past at other salons if I walked in or called day of I was either told no or kinda rushed through the appointment. Lori did not once make me feel rushed. She did a wonderful job. I absolutely love my new cut and will be coming back. Also this salon is adorable and funky. The prices were a steal too. read more

I stopped in here to get a haircolor impromptu - right before the big day of my friend's destination wedding in Chatham, Cape Cod. We had to call many salons to find a last minute early morning time that worked. Natural Creations was able to get me in, they called back right away. They are used to out of town visitors needing hair color last minute - which is understandable in a tourist town like Newport. I was matched with B for my partial foil highlights - she is from Italy and has been doing hair for over eight years (maybe longer). It was seamless beautiful color. Courtney did my blow out and style, which was wonderful and lasted for three days. They are on the higher end of the price scale, but well worth it. read more

Candace Brisson is everything you want in a stylist. She is an absolute artist with mixing hair color and takes your requests for style to heart. She listens to your vision, offers incredible input about cut and color, works her magic with a smile and has become a close friend through my time in her chair. About a year and a half ago I decided to start highlighting my hair. As someone who is low maintenance, Candace has been able to recycle my colors of season past and revamp it in the most flattering way. She makes bed head easy for me and understands how to work with me to maximize a cut and color to save visits (and $). Yesterday I got an amazing cut and color which turned my summer golden beach hair more seasonally appropriate with subtle auburn undertones. I have sent friends here because I trust her fully and EVERYONE is a convert. I also have amazing things to say about Morgana's blowouts and strongly recommend her for a date night or event- think oomph and sass like Bridgette Bardot. Thanks for working your magic Candace! read more
