After reading reviews on yelp, I decided to call nina to cut my teenage daughters' hair. My daughter usually knows just what she wants and while we may differ on what is acceptable, we have had trouble finding a hairdresser that can help us with an acceptable compromise...especially when it comes to color. I called nina, she quickly booked an appointment two days later. She asked questions like what kind of hair she would be working with, color or cut etc. She asked for my email and a few hours later she sent a confirming email with the appointment time and date. Awesome. We arrived with no real decision about how to approach color. Nina took time to hear us out. She listened to what both of us wanted then she came up with a solution! Wow, a problem solver! She was committed to making sure we would be happy and would only go to color when she was sure we were o.k. with the compromise she had offered..... She had offered! How nice that she could see our dilemma and find a solution for us! She didn't try to do just what I wanted or just what my daughter wanted, but she found something that worked for both of us and we were never rushed or pushed into anything. Also, the cut....Amazing! My daughter has wavy hair and bangs can be difficult if not cut properly, Nina promises that she can cut wavy and very curly hair and do it well. She absolutely can. The bangs fell the way they should...no curling up awkwardly etc...nice, nice cut. I recommend Nina unconditionally. I will continue to patronize her shop. She is wonderful. read more

If you have curly hair this is definitely the salon for you! I am mixed and have curly AA hair and hardly ever know what to do with. I recently decided I wanted to change the color. I went to see Nina for color after hearing she specialized with my hair type and I left her salon looking and feeling beautiful! She literally transformed my hair! My hair looks the best is has ever looked since I went natural in 2007. She did a fabulous job with the color and explained everything every step of the way! She also gave me an amazing cut which really fit my face and gave shape to my hair! Nina was also incredibly nice and friendly an easy to talk to! She also taught me how to manage and style my hair with the awesome products she used and gave me some samples to take home to try! Everyone at home loved my hair and my mom even booked an appointment with her for the next day after seeing my hair!! I will definitely be going to Nina for now on! I definitely recommend this salon with five stars! I have never been happier leaving a salon! read more

Found this place through a local deal a few years back, now I happily pay full price for their services. Both Kate and Nina are fantastic. Very laid back place, always fun to go in. I get my long hair highlighted a very subtle red shade that I have had many people screw up pretty bad, never at Ntrigue. They will pull out the swatches and have a discussion beforehand so you get exactly want you want for color. I have been going here for over two years, really the best salon I have been to for color (and I lived in Boston for 10 years before moving to Worcester!) I get my hair trimmed, never anything crazy, that always comes out well, too. I tend to go to Kate over Nina but both are great. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so but I have seen it get a little hectic after I'm already in the chair. Nina specializes in curly cuts which can take a while so I think she gets a little backed up sometimes. They do a 10% discount for Umass employees (and Veterans I think.) Overall I very highly recommend! read more

The owner, Nina, is lovely and she does a terrific job. She knows a lot about hair, makeup, and nails, but what's really special is she wants you to look and feel your best. She is a young entrepreneur committed to her clients and you feel it the minute you walk in and you know it when you are finished and leave. My first services were mani/pedi and brow wax and everything was great. I was impressed enough that I decided to go for a haircut and color and I am thoroughly delighted. Just put yourself in Nina's hands and trust her to make you look wonderful. She did a beautiful job correcting my color and giving me new highlights and then gave me a razor cut that is very stylish and flattering. I am just afraid if I say too much I won't be able to get an appointment!!!! Seriously, give Nina a try. You won't be sorry. read more

My old hairdresser moved out of town so I went to Yelp to help me find my next and hopefully lifelong salon. I called and made an appointment and Nina (the owner I come to realize) picked up, I asked to make an appointment with her since it seems like everyone loves her here on yelp, she wasn't available at the time I wanted so we worked around and finally agreed on a time. I arrived 15 minutes earlier than my scheduled appointment and Nina greeted me and offered me coffee and magazines. She is so friendly and so cute! She really listened to what I wanted and worked her magic! She is amazing! I love what she did to my hair! I look younger and the upkeep of the style is super easy! She has definitely won me over as a lifelong customer! I will be bringing in my husband and spreading the word to everyone! read more

I went here based on the other reviews I read about this place. When I called, they scheduled me with Nina, whose name I recognized from the good reviews on Yelp. I went in to cut my hair and donate it, and I came out feeling like a totally new person. Not only is Nina personable and friendly, but she REALLY knows what she is doing. I have been searching my entire life for a haircut or hairstyle that allows me to rock my curls without fear of frizz or bushy-ness. I never thought there was such a thing as a "wash and go" style for people with my type of hair. I now know I have just been going to the wrong salons! Thank you so much, Nina. You have changed the way I look at my hair, and I have never felt more comfortable or confident with it. read more

Ever since being a customer at Ntrigue, I've had an amazing experience. I trust both Nina and Kate with my fine fragile hair. I've seen Kate more regularly and she always does a great job! She gets the color right every time and the cut makes my hair look thick and healthy. They also know exactly what products to recommend and they don't shove them down your throat like at other places. I've also heard they do weddings w their own make up artist! I can't wait to try that and recommend this place to my friends. Price is more than reasonable just another reason to try this great salon... read more

Oh my gosh....I LOVE Nina! I went there a year ago after reading the reviews on yelp. I was not disappointed. Not only is she creative, she's freakin hilarious! I look forward to my appointments and catching up with the craziness. I basically let her do whatever she wants and I'm very pleased with all her creations.I love being her guinea pig. She's one you can show a picture of what you want and she will most defiantely recreate it. She gives a discount for rebooking, which is awesome. FYI- She does some killer eyebrows too! read more

I LOVE this salon! Kate does a great job coloring my oh-so stubborn greys while at the same time keeps my hair from getting too dried out. I have been coloring my hair for a long time and since going to Kate, I get complements all the time. My hair is darker underneath and blonder on the top to hid my greys and she gives a really nice cut that keeps it looking fresh and healthy. The salon is really nice and friendly, Nina, the owner is always so welcoming. So if you need a great salon with reasonable prices, Ntrigue is the real deal. read more

Just as the other reviewers have stated... this place is awesome. Most likely the best haircut I've ever gotten, as well as the most enjoyable. I'm one of those people that just isn't a fan of getting haircuts. It's difficult to put into words what I want, and I dislike the awkward conversation. However, neither of those things were a problem here. Nina is awesome, and very personable. She makes you feel comfortable immediately and it becomes very clear she really knows what she's doing. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Can't tell from my picture but I have long curly thick hair. To give you some perspective it takes my about 3 1/2hours to blow out my own hair! Not going to lie - at first I was very hesitant to have someone with naturally straight hair (Nina) cut and style my curls but it was the best idea ever. She did some type of slice and dice technique that thinned my poof but did not take away from its natural fullness. I now feel confident to wear my hair curly and there is no need to weigh it down with a lot of gel! read more

Nina is Awesome. I am very fussy when it comes to my hair, but I did find myself a Brand new place to go. Ntrigue, Nina's very professional and knows what she's doing :) I Highly Recommend Ntrigue salon for your next hair cut :) She's pleasant, personable and cares about making you look your best. I'm going there again and again and again and again :) read more

N'Trigue is a fantastic to go to with great service, very reasonable prices, all in a very cute and cozy salon. The owner, Nina, is fantastic, very experienced and just an all around friendly and welcoming person! If you're looking for a great place to go for hair, nails or facials then check out N'Trigue...I love it and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I went to Ntrigue for the first time today, and was all around very pleased. Kate did a great job, despite my lack of direction and general haircut indecision... Like everyone, I feel like my hair is particularly fussy, but she listened to my concerns and gave me exactly what I asked for. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere - I will definitely be back. read more
