Angela can cut my long hair with her eyes shut and it would look great every time. My sister is also a loyal customer here too. Sometimes, I feel adventurous and would have her do whatever she wants to my hair and it comes out beautifully.

Disappointed is an understatement. The day after I got a wash/cut/blow dry with Tricia, my scalp…read morewas so severely inflamed that it was too PAINFUL to even rest the left/backside of my head on a pillow or even turn my head because Tricia didn't fully rinse the shampoo off of my scalp before blow-drying. The painful, swollen lumps were in a line from the top of my head down to my neck (where the soap dripped down). I've never had an allergic reaction to any cosmetic product and don't have a skin condition. The first time I got a haircut with Tricia, I let her know she missed some soap suds while we were still at the sink and she just wiped it off with a dry towel. This should have been a red flag but I shrugged it off thinking she might have just had an off day and came back regardless. Big mistake. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but it's been a full week and I'm still in pain so I felt I should let others know. I wish I could say I like the trim but it's choppy and uneven. I didn't bother asking for it to be cleaned up because I didn't want to lose more length and figured it's just hair so I can get it cleaned up by another salon in a couple of months. Tricia was nice and I still tipped her well but who knew a haircut could cause so much physical pain, sleepless nights, and misery?

I've been going to Andiamo's for years -- ever since I was maybe around 10 years old. I'm now 26…read more I've known the stylists for more than half my life, and each of them is wonderful in their own way. My stylist, Denise, is a *genius* when it comes to color and an eyebrow-waxing perfectionist, and she knows exactly how to cut my curly hair (growing up, no stylist at any other salon could get it right). Michelle, the co-owner (with Denise), is incredible with a pair of sheers -- family friends who are, themselves, hair stylists go to her for their own hair. Not one of them has ever been disappointed. John, Jennifer, and their part-time stylists are all incredible, both in terms of what they do (John does a mean up 'do!) and as conversationalists. The salon is always clean and there is always music playing. The prices are more than fair, for both services and products. I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. Now that I'm no longer living in Winthrop, it's a little more of a hassle to drive there, but it's 100% worth it. No matter where I go, I will always come back to Andiamos, where I know I'm getting my money's worth. (And someday, when I'm a gazillionaire, I'm kidnapping Denise and paying her an obscene amount of money to be my personal hair stylist!)
