    *Please note. This is a review from my experience as a hair model with a cut from a stylist in training. Yup. Just like a mannequin. Except, I'm human. Having your head pushed around is disturbing. 2 stars for the friendly staff & the clean salon. My trainee really didn't pay attention to the instructor. I was watching & listening. He was very patient, but after 2 hours I could sense his anger & frustration. He went over the cut & tried to clean up the mess. Kind of like when you bake a cake & you're in a pissed off mood. The cake looks & tastes like crap. Same with the results of my haircut. I've been crying since I left the salon.

    I posted the before and after which came out great but got impetigo and damage  My follicles black with scabs and crustiness.

    I used to be a regular customer whenever I wanted a great precise cut and professional color I would come here until recently. I went to there on June 2nd to get my hair platinum blonde or a light blonde. My hair was already a dirty blonde but my roots started turning a dark brown and I had medium length hair. I will post a picture of my before and after. I was scheduled for a 10:30 and found out I was only booked for a single process color. I went over what I wanted. I was asked if I wanted my hair that morning and I did. She said because it may sting a lil'. I wish I was told that at the time of my booking. I went to Jen who I've been to before. She had Ritchie help her. She bleached the top half waited for about 30 min then she added more bleach to the entire head. I sat for prob another 20 to 30 min. I got washed and then went for cut by Terri. Jen said don't be shocked by the color. It came out then she told me in the beginning that color at roots may turn orange but instead a bright yellow like the original color. After my cut I then waited in the back til Jen finished up w her client that she was doing foils on. Wait was about another 30-45 min or so. Then she put more bleach in for what was supposed to another 30 min in but was more like 40 min. It was burning but I tolerated because I was determined to get that yellow corrected. She explained to me how it's common to sting and how she was blonde before and she said to herself pain is beauty. I said the same thing. I then got washed out and as I was washed out my head was very tender and hot. I asked to wash me w cold water and she did. After shampoo a PH balancer placed in my hair for another 10 min. I got that washed out and sat for another 30-45 min waiting for her. She blew dried my hair and then had a toner put in for 20 min. At this point my head was on fire but I was determined to make sure that yellow was gone and pain is beauty right. I was washed out again by a different person and at this point my head was really in excruciating pain I was shaking a little. Again cold water and gentle touching was key. After towel dried I went to stylist for final cut and touches. As she brushed or combed my hair she asked if too hard like she knew it would be tender or something was wrong. She blew dried my hair til it was over dried out and started to look like a helmet. As she was blow drying and brushing I felt something was wrong. It felt like something was wrong. I suggested she flat iron my hair. She did and final look came out great. I left out at 4:00 or 4:15 to catch a movie w friends. Then we went to dinner abt 7:30 I felt the back of head and side by my ear I noticed some scabbing. I went home and analyzed my whole head and these scabs were all over and wet like at the top. I paged the on call for pcp's office. They suggested going to er. I went to my local ER and they diagnosed me with impetigo. A strain of staph or strep infection. The pictures the nurse and my daughter took showed my pores/follicles were jet black and I had red circular patches and lots of hard yellow crustiness pus like. The process to care for this is crazy. I had to take antibiotics, missed a day of work because it is contagious and wanted to be sure I had a full 24-48 hours of antibiotics. I had to change my sheets and towels and clothes everyday. Wash in hot water. Wrap head in scarf when sleeping. Use Jason's Tea Tree shampoo and 95% aloe vera gel the healing has been a long process and still have some mild scabbing and maybe some scar tissue. On Tuesday morning I called them because on they were closed for weekend as I was there on a Saturday. I was concerned about what happened to me and using same brush or comb on other clients. I Spoke w Jo the assistant mgr. Who said she will tell her immediate supervisor Thalia and I will get a call back from her later today. I did not receive a call back from her til about 2:30. She said she will call me back after investigating and she never did. I explained that I did not want people to lose their jobs just to make people aware of things that can happen. I called on Friday to follow up & get resolution. She said that she interviewed and no one saw anything. Of course !!! She didn't sound concerned or didn't sound like she knew what to do. I was upset and told her she didn't even give me an apology or seem to care. She apologized only because I mentioned it. She asked if I wanted a refund. I said yes. She said she had to run it by corporate by writing up a slip and I should receive an email from corporate. I never did. I asked her to send me an email as proof that she did this. She just emailed me a one line statement her request of a partial refund of $200 not the whole $315 or $320 I spent and the the tips I gave. It's been weeks and no refund. I emailed corporate twice last Friday or so and no response. I hope my photos and reviews help you.

    Best salon by far in Boston. I've been in Boston almost a decade so I've tried quiet a few…read moredifferent hair salons around the downtown area... I absolutely LOVE ZenaRose. The work is impeccable to a level that I've been stopped by more than one stranger on the street post appointment. They have fantastic pricing and easy booking but what really sets them apart for me is the personalized and comfortable experience in the chair. I've been in salons where you can clearly tell you're their hundredth appointment, they aren't listening to you, they just want to get it done and worst of the staff don't get along with one another. That's not ZenaRose. Every staff member at ZenaRose genuinely gets a long and helps one another out; creating a wonderful atmosphere to spend what is some times more than an hour or two for an appointment. I connected with Kelli on my first visit and no matter what time or day I have booked with her over the years she makes me feel like I'm the only client she's seeing. She is kind, fun and her attention to detail makes me feel so confident when I leave her chair. I had my first every professional make up done by Yuliya today and WOW! I went in with no pictures and stunned with the results. As someone who has never gotten their makeup done I wasn't sure what to expect. Yuliya made me very comfortable, most notably making sure to pause to let me blink while she was doing my eye make up. I hadn't even realized I needed to blink and she's pausing for my comfort. Will definitely be back. Last note on booking, I called ten minutes before they closed the night before I needed a morning appointment. Fully expecting that a Saturday morning in late Feb would be booked solid, I got a call back in less than 10 minutes saying they had worked something out and it's all booked. No matter who you chose at ZenaRose you're going to have an incredible experience.

I absolutely loved my hair and make up done by Anastasia. She did a fantastic job listening to what I wanted and making my vision come to life. I deducted one star because my appointment was for Event/Glam Photoshoot Make Up and Dyson Bouncy Curl Blow Out, but I didn't end up getting a blow out. She styled my hair with a flat iron but I was still charged for a bouncy curl blow out which I didn't feel was the same value. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience.

    Green Room Boston and Jessica are, hands down, the best! I've been to stylists all over (New York,…read moreChicago, Boston, etc.) and have yet to meet anyone that even compares to Jessica. She is truly a master of her craft and on top of that, a genuine person. What makes Jessica unique and ultimately, the best, is her ability to actually listen to what her clients want. For the first few appointments, Jessica asked me to show her images of hair I liked and then she really pressed me to detail exactly what it was I liked about the images (darker roots, length, layering, highlights, overall color, etc.). After only a couple of these conversations, I realized that for years I was describing to hair stylist something that was entirely different than what I actually wanted. With Jessica, going through these images and having these discussions helped us to be on the same page about what I wanted my hair to look like both in the moment as well as in the future. Using this information, she created a customized plan and timeline for me; the result is that today my hair is longer and healthier than ever with a color that I absolutely adore. Her skills as a stylist are further complemented by the exceptional level of service that she provides. Jessica is always on time and clear about pricing. She confirms appointments a week in advance and always offers flexibility if you need to reschedule; it's not uncommon for her to come in early or stay late to accommodate a client. She develops long-term relationships with her clients and gets to know them on a personal level so that she can tailor both the service and overall experience to each individual. Jessica is expensive, but I believe you get what you pay for. In this instance, superior haircare services in an exclusive single chair salon with a creative and thoughtful stylist.
