I came here awhile back and got an amazing cut. I am super picky as I work in a salon with an incredibly talented staff and am accustom to the best. I was pleasantly surprised. The salon itself is not super fancy but is clean and organized. Nichole took us on time and was super sweet. She also gave my 4 year old son a really cute cut. He was hesitant since he is a loyal client of Rob at Inspire but Nichole's sweet nature and pretty face got him. She even gave him a bag of skittles. He was stoked. I would be happy to cheat on my hairdresser with her again. PS....my hairdresser inspected my hair and confirmed it was a great cut ( and she has 20 years experience). read more

Nicole did a great job listening to what I wanted and giving me a cut that got me feeling "interview ready." And with $7 eyebrow threading? Yes please! I'll be sure to go back for this service. The salon is cute and Nicole is very easy going and good at what she does. Thanks! read more

I love this place and I love Nichole! She is such a sweetheart and really knows what she's doing. My friend started coming here and when I moved down the street I had to check it out. I've now been coming here for almost a year and I always leave happy! I have long hair and some places I've been to before had different definitions of a "trim". Nichole listens and gives suggestions when you need it. Prices are really affordable too! A definite must go. read more

I bought a Groupon for a spray tan so I decided to use it yesterday since I'm leaving for vacation today. I have never had a spray tan before so I was very nervous that I would end up looking like Snooki! Well after having the spray tan done I'm very happy! It looks very natural like I just got back from vacation! The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is because the Instruction for before preparation was very little. I went online had googled it so I was prepared but it would be nice to have a spot on their website. Oh and Nichole was very nice! read more

I started seeing Nichole in April 2014 and have since had 3 haircuts with her. Nicole is always welcoming and friendly (even when I'm running late to my appointment) and always takes the time to listen to what I want and discuss what I'm looking for to make sure she gets it right. I love the way she cuts my thick, coarse hair with long layers and an angle in the front. It puts the right amount of movement into my style. Her blow outs are awesome too! I love the volume and body and yet smoothness my hair has after she blow dries it. She also started using her new brand of 100% organic argan oil and it gave an amazing shine to my hair! read more

Nichole is amazing!! I left with the best haircut I have had in years. Her level of service and skill far exceeds many of the Boston/Newbury Street salons I went to for years. She is also super accommodating - squeezing me in for an appointment at a time that worked best for me. Highly recommend this salon to everyone! read more

Nichole was great! I stopped in today, with a certificate I received, but did not have an appointment. She took me right in, and did a really great job! I don't get a haircut often, so I have really long hair, but she made it look and feel so healthy again. Nichole is very personable, and really takes her time to make sure it comes out perfect. I will definitely be returning, and making her my regular hairdresser. read more

I have had some terrible hair experiences... i move every couple months for work and needed a place for blonde highlights while working here in RI... Nichole was extremely nice on the phone when i scheduled my appointment, which made me relax a little and the cost was less than my last highlight and cut and I loved my hair wayyy more! i went in asking for a blonde bombshell look and i was not disappointed!! i left the salon feeling better than i had in a long time!! it is crazy how much your hair affects your confidience.. Thank you for making me a blonde bombshell!! :D read more

I wanted to say BIG THANK YOU to Heidi... it was the best relaxing facial I ever had... I have definitely been have become a fan..... already booked my next visit in 4 weeks. read more

She's an artist !!!! I love the haircut & color that she did to me. I am her loyal customer.

I bought the facial groupon, looking forward to a much-needed 90 minutes of relaxation after the birth of my second son. I arrived a few minutes early and was asked to have a seat and wait (completely understandable). One woman was getting her hair done while chatting with another person who was in the "waiting area" with me. All seems normal so far. While I waited, however, I noticed that no other customers were coming or going from the back room where I assumed the facial would be taking place. I guessed that maybe they adhere to a very strict start / stop time to ensure that customers get the full 90-minutes that they expect. When the time came, Heidi brought me to the back room where she told me to remove my top and gave me the standard "half-robe" many spas offer for facials. Our exchange was awkward, I felt, as there was no exchange of names, preferences, comforting small talk, etc... nothing that I have come to expect when receiving a spa service in the past. Oh well, I thought, I must be full of hormones and not reading her correctly. She returned to the room and began the facial. For my liking, it was rough and almost uncomfortable. She talked about the products that she was using (which I could do without, but that varies by salon / spa). When it came time for extractions, Heidi told me that she "tends to be a little rough" and told me to tell her if I was uncomfortable. Ummm.. ouch. I had to ask her to stop. I am NOT a wimp. I can take pain like a champion. Her extractions were beyond painful and I was afraid that it was doing more damage to my skin than it was a benefit. Before I changed back to my clothes, I was told that I could have a neck massage for an additional fee. I wasn't interested and said no thanks. Finally, the facial was over and I was ready to get out of there. There was, again, no exchange of any real pleasantries. I handed my standard 20% tip (on the full cost of the service), but I really debated if I should. I feel like anyone can have an off day, but I just don't think that my personality meshed with Heidi's. I also realize that the groupon might cut into profits, but I could have become a regular customer if the service was a good fit. Oh well... read more

I recently received a facial from Heidi from a Groupon I had purchased. I was not very impressed..I felt uncomfortable and not welcome. Heidi didn't even ask my name or introduce herself. I also purchased a 90 minute facial with a head and neck massage. The facial lasted just 60 minutes with no head and neck massage. I felt more like a number than a customer and felt like I was bothering her. I wouldn't go back. Maybe I just caught her on an off day... read more

I had a facial today with Heidi that was great. The salon doesn't look like anything fancy, but the facial room is comfortable and calming. She asked me a few questions about my skin and what I use on it and then used cleansers, moisturizers, and masks (among other things) to make it feel great. I'm excited to see how my skin looks and feels in the next few days. I purchased the facial on Groupon and it came with a foot and hand massage that was a nice addition. The groupon notwithstanding, her prices are great and I will definitely be returning. read more

Used my groupon today for a color and cut and I love it. Nicole did a great job and was very nice and welcoming. She offered me water and made me feel comfortable. The place is cute - not stuffy, but has a lot of cool touches - keurig machine - board games for kids, tons of magazines, tv on. Very nice. Nicole looked over my hair and asked what I wanted. When I told her I wanted to try red, she brought her swatches out and helped me pick the best color. She even looked at my wrist to see my skin tone, to help choose the right red. I am red now and I love it. She gives a great hair cut and since my hair is flat on top, she gave me a blow dry that pumped up my volume. Best blow out ever. High quality hair products. Very nice salon - give it a try, you'll like it. Prices are reasonable too. read more

I walked in to this salon about a year and a half ago and Nichole took me right in. She is super sweet and welcoming, but it honestly took my hair about a year to recover from the bleach ( highlights) job she had done. It came out uneven, and extremely crisp, to the point where most of my top layer ended up breaking off on the ends, leaving me with a legit mullet. I had gone back to her to have it evened out and conditioned because of how dry it came out, so she added Keritan, which just made matters worse...I was not happy. read more

I went and had a facial from Heidi from a Groupon that I purchased. It was for two facials and the first one was wonderful and I was impressed with her knowledge of skin care. I just recently went in for my second facial and experienced the same level of care from Heidi except this time around she charged me $15.00 extra for the foot and hand massage that I had received inclusive of my groupon deal previously. She also only spent 60 mins rather than the 90 mins that I paid for. I felt taken advantage of and will not go back there again. I also felt like a number and not a customer. read more

I first visited Salon De Nichole to get a facial using a living social deal and was really impressed by the facial and the customer service I received from the time I made the appointment until I walked out the door. I did a little research and found out that Nichole is a young entrepreneur and in the spirit of supporting a local talent I decided to visit to get my hair cut. Nancy was (and will continue to be) my stylist. She is friendly and took a lot of time to cut and style my hair and I will definitely be back to visit. Decent location, decor needs a little TLC but overall is stylish and the prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit this salon! read more

I just had an appointment at Salon de Nicole on Friday, August 16, 2013. My visit was GREAT! When I came in I had horrible bleach blonde highlights that I hated from another salon. So I already knew that I wanted to go dark to get rid of the mess. I had an appointment with the owner Nicole who is super adorable. She has a very bright and happy personality. I told her what I wanted and she jumped right into it after showing me some swatches to make sure I got the correct color. At the end I feel soooo much better! My hair is dark and I got a cut as well that left my hair long but with shorter layers. Love it. read more

I just read the review from Marie B. and had the identical experience. I bought TWO additional facials, thus saving me a little more money, but obviously will be getting a "lesser" service since I am a repeat customer of the Groupon deal. In addition, some of the "extra" service prices increased, but were only told so on the DAY of the appointment. Like Marie, I, too, felt that Heidi was a bit rude and the owner heard most of our conversation and backed Heidi. The Salon reps also said that Groupon would probably refund the purchase; they did not, so now I am obligated to use both of the Groupons that I thought was a good bargain, and it is NOT. (You do not get PENALIZED when buying repeat restaurant Groupons). Oh well, looks like Heidi's TIP may suffer. read more

I have been going to Salon De Nichole for over 6 months getting facials from Heidi. She is great at explaining the products and the benefits they provide. She does a great job and I have been very pleased with the results. My skin looks and feels awesome. I highly recommend Heidi for a great facial. read more

I had a groupon that I used for a facial with Heidi about a year ago . I have been going to Heidi ever since ! She gave me one of the best facials I have ever had ! She is very professional , uses great massage techniques , and she even did my hands and feet ! She will explain what she is doing as well as what the products will do for your skin ! Overall a very relaxing experience ! read more

I had been twice to this salon for a facial with Heidi and twice with a Groupon. I was very pleased and felt I was getting a good value and tipped her well both times. The last timeI went to the salon Heidi told me if Groupon ran another deal I could come back again and related how she was fine doing so. It seemed to be she wanted business since she is so young and seems new at it. So, with much anticipation of looking good for my upcoming trip to Mexico I bought another Groupon and made the appointment with Heidi. She called me the day before and asked me if I could come in earlier which I complied. She not once asked me if this was my first time or if I was using a Groupon. When I went for the appt. she asked me those two questions which I thought would have pleased her when I said yes and told her I had been twice. She proceeded to tell me that the facial with be cut down to 45 minutes from 90 minutes or if I wanted the 90 min I could pay an additional $20 since the Groupon applies to new customers only. I reiterated how she told me I could come back with the Groupon deal again the last time I had gone and she said that the price would only be effective if I booked and paid at the the salon and not with Groupon. I told her that was not how I interpreted her comments the last time I had a facial with her. She rudely said that I did not have to have the facial and could get a refund from Groupon. I was stunned and replied, "Your kidding me?" She said no she was not kidding and was very rude. I turned to leave the salon and believe the owner was there as well and was quite surprised about the unprofessionalism this business had. I am all about helping small businesses but the way she wants to do business is not very professional. She is saying that if Groupon offers a price it will only apply to new customers which I perfectly understand and expect at times, but if I call the salon for a facial and explain to them how groupon is offering this deal (which they contract Groupons themselves) the salon will give a previous customer the same offer and save the Groupon cost. I'm sorry but that seems pretty confusing to a customer who has only been twice to this salon in the past 4 years and was told they could come back again with a Groupon dea. This type of business practice seems a little strange and confusing. Perhaps that should be vocalized when booking an appointment in order to save the loss of time and appointments on both parties. What would have satisfied me was to take me as a booked customer and explain "their" own interpretation of their pricing deal for future appointments. I certainly would have accepted that. Needless to say, there are plenty of other businesses who want the business and appreciate paying customers. I will no longer recommend this place for a facial. read more
