Terrible customer service. No one greets you when you come in. Horrifying Haircut ...I went out in my car and cried... Even after I contacted the salon and told them of my experience, I recieved no response. read more

No complaints! The online reservation system was easy, my blowout was great, and I thought it was very affordable (especially compared to NJ standards, which is where I'm from). Sandra did a great job and also didn't try to force conversation, when I appreciate as someone who finds it hard to chat over a blow dryer. :) wish it was closer to my house because I'd use them often for special events! And 10/10 BEST shampoo/head massage I've EVER had! read more

New Leaf Hair Studio - Sandra -- Shampoo & Blowout - Hair Salons Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

Would give Tasha 6 stars if I could. I get nervous EVERY-TIME I cut my hair but I definitely don't with her. We had great conversation and I got multiple compliments on my hair as soon as I left. She was such a perfectionist in all the best ways. She asked how I was feeling each step of the cut. I felt (and still feel) like a million bucks. The salon is stunning and definitely covid-safe. The staff did a great job with sanitation/masks and all that jazz. (I also think it's important to add that I drive from Boston to get my hair cut here and it is absolutely worth it every time.) read more

Had my first appointment here this morning with Tonya. She definitely made me a repeat client. The employees are very friendly and polite. Very nice inside and upbeat. Tonya did a great job on my haircut. She's very personable, friendly and she's very good at her craft. I made sure to make my next appointment with Tonya before I left. I highly recommend New Leaf and my days of going to a barber shop are in my rear view. read more

This was my go to salon in college at RWU then I got the chance to return last night for bridal party hair. Well my hair turned out lovely as did the bride and most of the bridal party except for one, the last girl's hair we had to redo. We were told we would be together but then the hair stylists started to work on other clients and we were all separated. The had mistakenly told the bride there was a bridal suite when she booked but it was closed down the year prior. Over all it was a good experience from my point of view, we were out on time and I loved my hair. read more

Three words to describe New Leaf: Reliability, Talent-Filled, and Hospitality. I have been going to New Leaf for 4 years. I have had a few horror stories in the past - wrong hair color, streaky highlights, choppy layers, you name it. With blond hair, I found it difficult to find a stylist who could find a color match that wasn't too yellow or ashy and Jenn got it right on the first try. She originally corrected a dye job I had done at a different salon in 2011 and she is now my go-to for all things hair-related. I highly recommend New Leaf and all their stylists. read more

Wil did such a beautiful job on my hair!!! We did baby lights with some face framing and it came out beautiful!! read more

Jill was knowledgeable and talked me through each step and made sure I knew what I was getting into, and made sure I understood the process I was starting and that it wasn't going to be completed in one session! She also help recommend shampoo and conditioner that will help me and where to find bigger sizes! I will definitely be rebooking with her! She was amazing! read more

Wonderful Wonderful Stylist and creator. I highly recommend the salon and Rachel for their exceptional work read more

This is such a pleasant place to be. Everyone there is warm and welcoming. It is stylish like salons in Boston or NYC, but as I overheard a client say yesterday "like a NYC salon, but without the attitude". It made me smile. I love going to NYC and as a lifelong New Yorker and newbie to Rhode Island I totally understood what she meant. At New Leaf you can just relax, trust that your hair will turn out great, and chat or not - whatever you feel at the time. My magician - Sandra - and I have great chats, good laughs, but she knows I am also plowing through magazines I would never bother buying for myself. It's all good. We met when I made an appointment hoping someone could save me from a horrible color job from a Newport salon and my poor decision to go with bangs. (Come on we have all done it at some point). She saved my color on the first visit and has steadily cured my bangs issue over the last few months. I hesitated to name her because I don't want her to become so famous I can't get an appointment anymore - so consider this my philanthropic move for the day. Sharing the name of a great stylist. Thanks New Leaf! Very apt name read more

I have never been to this hair salon before and i had received a gift certificate for Christmas so i asked around for a recommendation on a hair stylist considering I just had moved back not too long ago. I got recommended to Sandra and at first I wasn't going to write a review but I can't help but still feel really upset with how my hair turned out. I went in for a color and cut. My hair color came out really nice but as for my cut, not what I asked for at all. I told her i wanted a trim and long layers, just to get rid of my dead ends so she had showed me with her fingers the length she recommended which was at my armpit crease. Now, I'm not sure if she was distracted but she cut my hair above my shoulders!! I never once told her to do that! I didn't even notice how short it was until she was done blow drying my hair and I mean at that point nothing I say will fix the situation but i was just mortified. I cried that entire day and not only that, I had a wedding the next day to attend and just didn't know what to do with my hair. Im not one to get upset when it comes to my hair but I've tried so hard to grow it out and I just never been so upset with someone when we specifically agreed on a certain length and not once talked about cutting above the shoulders! On top of all that, I received an email about referring a friend and a new client getting some discount. I was so confused so I called the salon when I got home and asked why I wasn't offered this discount and the girl told me I have to ask for it... I'm sorry but how am I suppose to ask for something I never knew about? At any business that offers a new client discount I ALWAYS get offered it any where I go. I mean you're not losing much business with me not going back but it definitely was not worth the $110 i was charged. read more

New leaf, indeed. This is the best haircut and salon experience I've had since moving to RI over three years ago, and seeing as I've tried several, that's saying something. Yes, you have to haul yourself down to Bristol, but that's hardly anything to complain about as New Leaf is located on one of the most charming streets in the most charming neighborhood. I mean, Persimmon is across the street, for crying out loud. It's lovely, just like the salon itself. Open, airy, modern and spacious, everything is laid out beautifully and in a way that provides privacy for the client, which I like. A lot. My appointment with Jen C began promptly, and started with a consult during which I knew she was listening. She asked questions, made suggestions and explained what she was planning to do. She also gave me a shampoo and luxurious scalp massage with Moroccanoil products, which I happen to love and use at home, and then whisked me away to a quiet corner to start her work. The way in which she cut my hair was remarkable - I have extremely thick hair that falls somewhere between a wave and a curl, and the last cut I got left me with awkward bang-like thinks that simply didn't work. So, Jen began with an all over shaping while my hair was wet, and then put me under this amazing dryer that uses hot lights rather than blown air to get it dry. Then, she came back in and snipped according toy curl pattern, thinning and shaping as she went. She even managed to blend the bang thinks into the rest of my hair. The end result is something flattering, stylish and (most importantly) easy to manage and simple to style. Love. The whole thing cost me less than $40. You just cannot beat that. New Leaf also sells an assortment of fantastic hair and skin care products: Moroccanoil, Bumble & Bumble, Dermalogica and Becca to name a few. I scooped up a really cute cosmetics pouch in the adjoining boutique, which is full of scarves, dresses & accessories. In short, I love this place - its the best haircut I've had in years, and that's no simple feat considering my thick, curly hair. read more

Hello to my new favorite hair salon! I had a true Spring awakening after Stacey made my sad hair happy again with bright highlights and a fresh cut. I've received more compliments on my hair style than I can ever recall. The salon itself is modern and pleasant and the products are very high quality, although a bit pricey (no regrets on that Oribe texturizing spray I bought though!). The cute boutique next door is great bonus except it added an extra $100 to my experience because there was a dress I could not resist! Thanks New Leaf for the new 'do! read more

New Leaf Hair Studio - New hair, new dress! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

Okay, So I have been going to this salon for roughly 4 years or so. I have had so many great experiences here. I have gotten up do's, cuts, styles, blow drys, you name it. I remain loyal to Mel and she has always put the health of my hair before anything. I basically let her do whatever she wants, I really trust her as a stylist. New Leaf is one of the more high-end salons in Bristol, in my opinion. The interior is professional, modern, and appealing. Ohh, you also put your feet up when getting your hair washed and receive a complimentary scalp massage. These girls really do a great job. It may seem a bit pricey (for the area)...roughly $50 for a cut and style not including a tip. But I feel as though it is worth it. read more

came here for a bridal party mani/pedi extravaganza. Everyone's services went really smoothly, the nail salon downstairs was so cute and spacious and I was really satisfied with both the mani and pedi. They used Bliss products (scrub, lotion) for our pedis which I really appreciated, and the massage couches were just the icing on top of the cake. I felt totally pampered and at home here. read more

I went here on a whim because my friends have all been and enjoyed it. I had a lovely experience, was offered wanter or coffee, my feet were put up when my hair was being washed, got a good cut etc. Overall it was nice but I don't think its worth the money. read more

Jenn C is excellent. She doesn't treat you like a number, but actually listens to you as she would a friend. She has wonderful customer service skills and I always come out very happy with my cut. Jenn C looks very stylish and keeps up with the latest trends. She always gives great advice and you really can't beat the $40. I would advise other hair stylists, even at this salon, to make small talk and invest in the time it takes to earn loyalty. Not all of them do that. If you treat customers as a number, they will NOT come back. You must get to know about your customer if you want to give them the best hairstyle possible. Jenn C has my loyalty. read more

Friday afternoon I got to leave work early and decided I was overdue for a cut - although I've been growing my hair out, it is very split and needed some love. Before I even got to my car I called New Leaf on the off chance they might have some availability in the afternoon. They had an appointment open 30 minutes from when I called, and I grabbed it. I didn't have to wait long, about 5 minutes - and there is a waiting area to sit in, or you can browse their cute little boutique off to the side of the salon - necklaces, bracelets, handbags, wallets, dresses, head bands - you name it, they had it for sale. Good thing I have willpower, otherwise my spontaneous trip to New Leaf would have really damaged my wallet. Rachel was my stylish and she did a great job - she worked with me and my specific needs ( I use henna to naturally color my hair, and regular shampoo and conditioner is a no-go). She listened to what I wanted and had me washed, cut, and blow dryed in about 35 minutes. Complementary makeup session with onsite make up artist is included in your service, but I took a rain check on my visit. Over all with tip it was a $52 cut, a little pricey but not too bad for once and a while. Plus I left the salon feeling like Mandy Moore, so whats not to love! I will be back! read more

No matter who you go to or how long you've been going here, the ladies take care of you. I will never go anywhere else. I've been taken care of by Rachel for a few years now and I'm obsessed. I say "taken care of" because no one else care about my hair and my life like these ladies. My friends have had their hair done by Tonya and are always SO happy afterwards. Caitlyn always greets you with a smile and is so pleasant!! And I can't forget about Mychaela, that little cutie with the best outfits and hair inspo for days!! Thanks so much for your wonderful team!! read more

This place was beautiful from the moment i stepped in. The staff were very friendly, and more importantly my stylist Tonya was fantastic. I accidentally booked for a partial foil rather than a full (full takes more time) and Tonya said it was no problem and had her assistant Grace finish my wash and blowout who also did a wonderful job. Tonya did exactly what I asked and my hair came out beautiful!! I will definitely be coming back. read more

After moving out of state three years ago, I still look forward to going back to Bristol and get my hair and nails done at New Leaf. The decor is fresh and soothing, the service is always wonderful, they are VERY invested in making sure you're satisfied, and as soon as you walk in it feels like you're among goddesses - every single person who works there is beautiful and extremely friendly! I would trust any of them to make me look my best. They also are active in the community and do a lot of charitable events, which I respect and admire. Additionally, their bridal suite is really something special. A few years ago I had the pleasure of being styled there as a member of a wedding party, and it was the perfect way to start the day. They greeted us with champagne, strawberries, and calm, cool demeanors that put everyone at ease on the big day. Everyone looked gorgeous! Since then they have remodeled their bridal suite to make it even more cozy and private. I recommend this place to every bride I know. Lastly, New Leaf is a fun place to go and shop! Whether you need some extra hair products, a quick gift for a friend or some unique new accessories, it's definitely worth taking a peek at what they have in stock. Overall, New Leaf is a gem of a place - I find myself making excuses to spend more time there! read more

Amy is always friendly and professional. I've been a loyal client for 15 years!! She knows my style and does a great job every time! I never leave unsatisfied! Love Amy and the entire New Leaf team! read more

I enjoyed my hair experience at New Leaf with Stella. She seemed very knowledgable and gave good input on what would look nice with my features. My before and after pic of haircut and color was very shocking. I love my cut and color and have been getting many compliments. I was very happy selecting Stella for my "hair therapy day". Thank you Stella! read more

Amazing! Wil saved my dying balayage the lift it needed after a COVID moratorium. The safety, spacing, and precautions they took also felt effective and safe read more

I have been going to New Leaf to see Courtney for my haircuts longer than I can remember! It has been so nice getting to know her over the years. I can count on her to give me the perfect cut and style EVERY time. She always has great suggestions when I want to try something new. I can't imagine going to anyone else! read more

Very meticulous and precise. One of the best hair consultations I've ever had and very professional

I tried New Leaf Hair Studio based on reviews and proximity to my house. Boy am I glad I did! I was greeted by the sweetest receptionist who knew who I was before I even opened my mouth. Check in was a breeze and my stylist, Jill, waited no time coming to get me. Jill was amazing! She listened to me and gave me the cut and style that I was hoping for. The salon is clean and modern. I love the hair products they use as well. I have not a single complaint about my visit. I'll definitely return! read more

This is the best salon for cuts and color in RI. I have extremely high standards for who can do my hair after mostly nightmares with other places. Amanda is *the* person to go to if you have a head full of curls. Amanda is so good that I go to her exclusively, and I booked New Leaf to do my entire wedding party (15 hair, 10 makeup, 1 flower girl hair and makeup). My wonderful but extremely critical Jewish mom drove up from NJ for a hair trial, certain she was going to hate it. Janelle did the style so perfectly to the picture that my mom was speechless (this has never happened before...ever). Amanda worked with my curls and did my hair so perfectly. All my friends had so much fun and regularly tell me it was the best hair and makeup they've ever had for a wedding. The entire team was on time and done ahead of schedule. I'm sitting in Amanda's chair now getting some color and a cut. For someone who doesn't know what she wants, she always so perfectly advises me. Nobody would know I get my hair colored; I love the natural look she always achieves. I love that they use high quality products but also never try to sell me anything. I highly recommend booking far in advance if you want an evening or weekend slot. The prices are similar to other nice salons in the state, and you get what you pay for. I drive to Bristol 40 minutes from Providence every 6 weeks, and it's totally worth it. Whether you want to get your hair done on the regular or have a special event, I would unequivocally suggest you go to New Leaf. Also, you can follow them (the studio and individual stylists) on Instagram for fun ideas for your next appointment. read more

I have been going to New Leaf for over a year and always have fantastic cuts with Danielle. She is so talented and awesome at her job. I always leave feeling like a million bucks and love her work. She's also just about the only nice person who works in the salon. After a year of being treated like dirt by the reception staff, I am DONE with this place. They are rude beyond imagination, talk down to you, hang up on you when you call in and act like it's my privilege to so much a speak with them. As a professional, the last thing I want after work is to encounter an obnoxious, stuck up college kid acting like it's awful to have to provide basic customer service. I never left the salon without buying either product or something from their boutique. I spent a lot of money here along with my boyfriend who was a regular as well, but none of that seemed to make a difference in the way I have always been treated. I'll miss Danielle, her sweet personality and awesome cuts, but am glad to take my money elsewhere. read more
