I've been frequenting this salon for almost 30-years. They continue to excel: I have tight curls and alternate between longer hair and a short styling. Amy L. has performed miracles responding to my preferences. Everyone here is client-centric. I look forward to each visit! read more

Great Salon in the heart of Davis Square! Very welcoming and the staff is great. Will definitely be returning. read more

This is a really great salon. It's clean, the people are friendly, their work is excellent, and the location is convenient. Niko does the most perfect haircuts on men who like a tailored, precise look in a shape that flatters the face. He is one step beyond perfect....no words to describe. He's also pleasant and interesting to chat with during the haircut. The staff are also excellent...the front desk staff and the assistants who wash hair. It's not a cheap experience but you do get your money's worth because of the overall excellence. read more

*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. read more

Amy is the best, coming for over ten yrs from New London CT

I didn't care for the way my hair turned out. At the end of the day,I liked it better with my gray coming in and the remnants of my NYC colorists work. So after spending 600 plus bucks on a cut and color, I returned to speak to the master colorist about what I could do to improve the color which to me looks mud brown with 2 very light bleached streaks at my face. ( even though I didn't like the color, the original colorist was absolutely lovely as a person, her shampoo person was great, the fellow who cut my hair was charming.Everyone was kind and professional BUT their job in my opinion was not sophisticated. I look like I am ready to go to McDonalds or to the grocery, not to go to the ballet and dine near City Center. When I returned and spoke to the master colorist it was obvious by his inflections that he was a bit defensive and perturbed. He asked for pictures of me when I liked my hair (but I am not one for selfies) I usually take pictures of other things and people. I showed a picture of me at a benefit where I was honored and he said that the photos looked doctored. I don't know what that meant. I felt my hair came out flat, looking and needing dimension and when I said so the master colorist said I was using hair stylist speak. I thought with his expertise he would know that meant more layered color, painted to give more effect of motion so I don't look flat and one toned. I have only been disappointed once before with color at Bumble and Bumble in NYC. ( I have been coloring my hair for over 40 years) . That lovely establishment set me up with an expert who didn't make me show pictures or answer multiple questions,but realized how important a woman's hair is to her and treated me with kindness and respect and used his expertise to make me look and feel beautiful. I worked with him for over 10 years until I needed and found someone closer to my neighborhood. If this is Boston's best -- I guess I will take the Acela to NYC for my hair appointments. In the end, it will be be less expensive. read more

Went there for FULL head highlights, got half head highlights just because the stylist did not want to do more, and had to pay for full. And so expensive... They almost forced me to get a blow dry and I thought it was included in that expensive price, but it was not... Also asked me to leave tip for the hair stylist, the woman who did the blow dry, and for the man who washed my hair. read more

The haircut was excellently done! No question about precision. However, the style was not suitable for my hair type. Maybe the stylist was inexperienced but for the price I paid, she should have been. Upon a request for a quick redo, I had a terrible experience. I am sad to say I am not returning to Sasson and perhpas I understood why the salon seems always so empty: Poor customer service. read more

I really want to like this salon. The people are really nice. However, the talent is just not there. I don't think they really care after working their for tons of years. My colorist didn't achieve what I wanted and didn't check the results of her work. The cut was weird and the stylist could not execute a blow out. At these prices, this is unacceptable. Extremely unhappy and frustrated. Waste of time and money. read more

I have had so many bad haircuts from well known and expensive salons, because I have difficult hair to cut. My hair is curly is some places, but also frizzy, thick around the nape of my neck but thinning a little on top, and the longer it gets, the more it can look flat and stringy. Angela is the only person who gives me a consistently great haircut. Not good or Ok, but really great. When my hair was shoulder-length, she did a great swoop, now that it's grown 6 inches during covid, she gave me the best long haircut I ever had. There are no "steps" in my long layers, there's great movement. If you have curly/frizzy hair and don't want steps in your layers, don't want chunks cut out from underneath the thick part of your hair to give it "movement" (and then it just comes out uneven and weird), if you don't want a top-heavy triangle, go to Angela. She will cut off every dead end you have and release all the natural curls without doing anything weird that makes you live in your hat and pony tail for a month. read more

John is great - accommodating, nice and talented. Loved my haircut!

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. read more

I've been going to the Sassoon Salon for years now. I started out as a hair model for the Salon when I was in my early twenties. I had creative bobs and hair colors that can only be found on tropical fishes in the Caribbean. Now that I am older, I've toned down my style to something more natural. What I like most about the stylists at the salon is that they will listen to you and help guide you to finding the perfect cut / color for your style and face structure. The colorists are up for anything. If you want fun and funky - they'll do the best ombre hairstyle you've seen on this part of Newbury street. If you want a more natural look- their game and will make your normal hair color pop with some complimentary highlights. The only downfall is the cost of the salon. But hey, you really get what you pay for here. So spend more and feel like a million dollars when you leave with an $80-$100 cut. read more

I had an appointment booked for a while for Friday, October 2nd at 1pm. When I made the appointment I was so excited and told the salon what I was looking for. Saturday, October 1st at 3pm she asked me to send her pictures of my hair now, which is pretty blonde, to what I am trying to reach - which is icy white. She then said that the three hours that I had booked a few weeks back for my appointment on the 2nd would no longer work, and that October 20th would be better. I had this appointment booked and was so looking forward to it. So disappointed. I had this appointment booked specifically this weekend due to a big life event of mine happening this coming week. read more

Sassoon Salon - Screenshot between the stylist and myself. - Hair Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First of all, I have pretty high standards and I also have voluminous straight Asian hair. My criteria was to find a salon that gives me a spa-like feel and a hair stylist that can cut my hair well. Sassoon didn't disappoint. I was surprised to learn that Sassoon has been 60 years in the business. Niko was my hair stylist, and he did a fantastic job with cutting my hair shorter to the collar bone, adding layers and maintaining the volume of my hair. He went beyond and above by blow drying my hair and styled it by the end. I also really enjoy the conversations we had. Thank you so much Niko! I also want to thank the hairstylist in training who washed my hair. It was the most refreshing hair wash ever ! read more

This review is just for this specific experience, not for the salon as a whole. See precious review for cutting experience. I went here for some color (with the highest level colorist supposedly) asking for some bayalage, something that blended in with my natural hair color, specifically saying I did NOT want brassy orange stripes. The colorist suggested "framing my face" instead of bayalage so I thought, alright this woman is the highest level colorist here and knows what she's doing, so I put my trust in her. What did I get? Stripes. Orangey yellow stripes FROM MY ROOTS that were so bad that when I went to get my hair cut at another salon a week or so later, the stylist asked me who did my hair and why did they not do it correctly. I didn't say anything initially because I thought maybe I was overreacting and wasn't used to it, but not only did friends think it looked weird, but so did the woman cutting my hair a week later. I knew then it wasn't just me! Not only did I pay a fortune for it, but I ended up having to fix it myself with box dye less than two weeks later. Very disappointed as I've only ever had fantastic experiences here before... read more

I didn't get a haircut here, but got a blowout done by an aspiring hair stylist a few months ago. The place itself was very clean and the staff was very friendly. My stylist was new here so a more senior stylist had to watch him work on my hair. I didn't mind. This was my first time getting a blowout but it was a pleasant experience and my hair looked fantastic! I got so many compliments after I walked out of here. Special thanks to my stylist Dante! read more

I went to the place twice in 2013 to have a haircut with the "Director" John. For haircut and blow dry, the price for each time was $125 plus tips by the time. Several days before ,I was wanting to go back to the place again,so i checked on their website. However, the "Director" JOHN CENTOFANTI is the SENIOR STYLIST III now!!!!! My question is how could this happen? How could a Director become a senior stylist after 6 years????? I really want people check their website before u go visit, otherwise,they might treat u like a fool. Poor management there!!!!!! read more

Sasoon is my absolute favorite guilty pleasure. My mom and I have been coming here on "Girls Days" since I was young and I've always been so impressed by the space, the professionalism of the entire staff, and by the talent of the hair dressers and colorists. Never at Sasoon do you need to worry that you'll leave with a bad haircut. Everyone who cuts hair there goes through a 2-year specialized training by the company, so by the time they are done they are truly masters of the trade. I have always gone to see Amy, and my mother sees John. Both of them are so kind and so skilled. The studio itself is always clean and has a positive energy. All of the employees make an effort to get to know you and remember you when you return. They're always aware of your needs and present to offer you a water, coffee, or magazine. As I said, the service is impeccable. The one downside is the price, but if I'm gonna break the bank on one thing, it's going to be a relaxing afternoon at Sassoon. read more

When you can let your hair "air dry" then walk in high humidity and it still looks good that is the sign you've got a super perfect haircut. Thank you Fiona! Sassoon is a well run lovely salon with stylists who know what they are doing. Fiona is the blending of technician and artist, and I'm happy to have found her. read more

My one-star review is not a review of my haircut. No, my hair looks fantastic and my stylist was everything I wanted: she knew how to deal with my extremely fine hair, she gave me great tips, and she gave me a beautiful cut. The reason I'm giving Vidal Sassoon a one star review is because of how they charged me. I phoned the salon early this morning and booked an appointment for tomorrow (a Saturday). Then I mentioned to the woman on the phone that I'm a student and inquired about their policy of giving students 20% off. She informed me that this discount only applied Monday - Friday, so I rescheduled my appointment for Friday and decided I would skip out of 2 hours of work to get my cut. Skip to me at the counter in Vidal, paying for my haircut. They write down "$80" on my bill and I frown; I mention my phone call this morning and, again, that I'm a student. They then inform me that the student discount actually runs Monday to Thursday. I ask them if they could perhaps make an exception because they gave me incorrect information on the phone. They say no. I ask then, instead, if they could apply the coupon they'd handed me for 20% off my next cut to this cut. They did not oblige. This is not about money; I easily make enough money for an $80 haircut and usually spend $150. This is about being stubborn and failing to accomodate me. Despite my beautiful haircut, I will not be returning to Vidal Sassoon. Next time, I'll fly home to San Francisco and find solace in my salon there - Wicked Salon, where Vickie is Vidal Sassoon trained but Toni & Guy mannered. read more

I went twice to see the same stylist. The first time was to basically trim long hair, which he did ok. The second time was to get a shorter cut, which was a disaster. I came in with a picture of what I wanted. The haircut I got was totally different (length, shape, etc.). I ended up with single-length hair that poofs out on the bottom due to inadequate layering rather than a multi-length layered cut. I raised these issues to the stylist before leaving the salon, but he was in a hurry to get to his next client and did not do anything to fix things. He told me that it would look better when I washed it at home (really? $100 haircut and you cannot walk out of the salon with it actually looking good?). After washing it at home, of course it looked even worse. I tried to call the salon to get issues addressed by a more senior stylist, but apparently this would require multiple visits that would all need to take place in the middle of the day and they could not accomodate my schedule. They were also planning to charge for these visits. This is bad service in every way and I am going somewhere else. read more

Do you remember that slogan from Vidal Sassoon from the 80s - if you don't look good, we don't look good - well, that is *exactly* what I feel like! Terry is the BEST! She spends time to listen to what you want, and really listens to you. She really takes her time with you so that your hair looks so good and the haircut is totally precise. She doesn't waste your time after trying to sell you products. Really love going there, just wish it wasn't so expensive so I could go more :) Can't say enough good things! read more

I had my appointment with the salon director - Antonio. Had a Saturday appointment at 10:00AM for a haircut and didn't walk out of the salon until past noon. He was running behind, and I was left waiting. Atmosphere: This place reminds me of a bustling coffee shop and doctor's office. I say doctor's office, because when you enter, you wait...then after someone washes your hair, you wait again in another section of the salon..and then, when I am in his chair..I wait again for him. Not exactly the experience you want for a $120 appointment with the top guy. Despite this dismal waiting experience, this place is packed..mainly with clients that are 40-65 years old. I suppose it's because of the higher price point. Had time for a lot of small chit chat and people traveled as far as New Hampshire and Rhode Island to see their stylist. Personality: He dismissed the photos that I showed him and did not really seem to listen to what I wanted, but seemed to know what to do. Other than my first name, he didn't ask for anything else. He literally just stared at my follicles and cut & cut & cut. After drying, more focused cutting & cutting. Very focused. Skill/Outcome: I must say that I got a lot of compliments from my hair - even my co-workers went out of their way to compliment my hair. Note: He will not be the one to blow dry and finish your hair, he has an assistant that does that. Will I be back? Tough..he didn't listen to me, I didn't like the atmosphere, and he was late & kept me waiting like a doctor, and he has an assistant style your hair...but my hair cut came out awesome!! And then after the cut, they push hard to sell you hair products. I don't like that. One of the best cuts I ever received....and it has grown out so well. However, for the price paid $120 plus tip, I expect to get a great cut & great experience...my search still continues. read more

Love Fiona!!! Her cuts grow out fantastic!!! So worth it. Best short women cuts. She is wicked with graduation. She exemplifies the sassoon way. She is precise!! All of the staff is talented, kind and fun. read more

Sassoon Salon - Silly picture, Beautiful hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I simply do not understand how a place like this has great reviews. It must be the employees who work here. First off, I only get my hair done by PROFESSIONALS (OWNERS who have a waiting list but make time for me cause I am that good of a customer to where I travel from the East to West Coast if I must. So with that said, I am new to the Bos area and decided to give this overrated place a try. The receptionist was lovely meaning she seemed like she knew what she was talking about when it came down to who should do my hair since their best colorist was out of town and booked. To make this paragraph short, I get whoever trained under the above, who was this cute LITTLE girl I believe who was 20...I mean are you serious? Especially with my hair coloring background and where I come from. Anyways, okay job considering the color came out not what I expected, so she threw some coloring rinse on me which washed out in 2 weeks (what a waste)...did I forget to mention she threw color on my shirt as well? It was either her or their sloppy female hair washer. Either way I was told the color would come out and it didn't. So all I have to say about "Vidal Sassoon" is UNPROFESSIONAL, DISHONEST, and POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Don't waste your valuable time or money on this place...I would rather spend my money flying to Michael Boychuck in Vegas than get my hair done here ever again! read more

I am not impressed with this salon. I saw Antonio on Saturday for a haircut. This was my first time at this salon and was expecting the best. Antonio was running late for my appointment.... I got shampooed and then sat in a chair next to him, while he finished his last client.. probably about 10-15 minutes just staring out the window. Never mind the 10-15 minutes prior to that sitting in the lobby. Then he cut my hair, which came out great... But because he was running behind his next client after me was put in the chair beside me and he had his assistant finish flat ironing my hair. When she finished he came back over and finished the cut. I understand Saturday is busy but if I am paying $120 for a haircut my appointment should be about me and uninterrupted. Aren't I paying for your time and service?? I cancelled my future color appointment.... sorry to say I won't be back. read more

I had a terrific cut with John and great color with Richie- highly recommend. My hairdresser I used to see in SF recommended both. Both are very experienced and understood exactly what I wanted. read more

Even after moving halfway across the country, Sassoon Salon in Boston is still my go to place for getting my haircut. I have been to other Sassoon locations, and while they do a good job, Bri at the Boston location consistently makes my hair look like a billion dollars. What really makes my experience with Bri and the Boston team stand out is the fact that my cut looks just as good after 2 months as it does on my day in the salon. In past experiences with different salons, I have received a great haircut only to have it grow in an unflattering way 3 weeks later. As a twenty-something with a bob cut, it can be hard to justify spending a nice chunk of money on a haircut every month. The fact that Bri takes the time to consider how my hair will grow out cuts the number of trips in half (at least!) and makes the price here a real steal in the long run. read more

I love VS because if you are new to the city, or can't find a friend with awesome enough hair to ask for a recommendation, VS is always a reliable source. They are all trained the same way, so you always come out with a solid, stylish cut. I've been to several stylists there, and although my favorite has moved to California (sigh), they have all given top notch dos. I have longish hair and I only get my hair cut when the style starts to fade - and VS cuts last a very long time, more than other studios. Which is awesome. So, although it is a little on the expensive side, it's completely worth it, as sometimes they can last 4-5 months. One thing I do find funny - I think the staff are all encouraged/instructed to be flattering and complimentary ("oh I do like the gray hair with your young face! Oh, but the color you are dying it is great too!") - which is more than wonderful if passed on the correct way - although a few of them may need to work on the sincerity. But I like the attempt. read more

I didn't like it at all the girls are nice but the work was not good! I color my hair from blond to Irish red in 3 days the color washout ! The hair cut was identical to what my sister get 3 day erlyar And we ask for absolutely different hair cuts and we did come in with pictures of what we want! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about having my hair cut by Edward at VS Boston. I walked in the door with my long somewhat unevenly wavy dirty/strawberry blonde hair and asked, as I always do, for the impossible. I want to look hot and stylish, but I refuse to play the game of spending huge amounts of time and money on beauty routines and products. I have been yearning for ages for a cut that would make me look like a superstar but require on a daily basis nothing more than a wash, condition and towel dry. Until I found Edward at VS Boston, nobody had been able to come close to fulfilling my request - usually stylists would laugh at me and give me some horridly boring cookie-cutter trim that I could have done for myself at home. Edward, on the other hand, is attentive and is a genius. He really knows what he is doing, and worked with my hair to create some very attractive long layers that look fabulous all day when blown out and straitened or if I just walk out of the shower and run a comb through my wet hair. The kicker is that this cut also grows out extremely gracefully and doesn't need to be touched up for months. This is the best experience I have ever had in a salon, and I am sold. The work is definitely worth the price! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Sasssoon. I have been seen twice by Allison, who is a student in the academy. Twice I've had haircuts that not only are easy to care for but that look great! While I've been seeing a student, the cost is deeply discounted, but their list prices aren't much more than what I was paying at Newbury Street locations. Haven't had color yet, but that will change! Nothing but courteous staff and a far more welcoming environment that I expected, given I'm used to slightly catty staff at other salons. Now, my little PSA- I noticed a lot of guys getting their hair cut at Sasssoon and looking, well, hot. Guys of Boston, get thee to Sassoon! A great experience all around. read more

I came here in a panic 2 years ago with damaged blonde hair from overprocessing at another salon (highlights in foil that were constantly being re-processed root to tip). If anyone does this to you, FYI, this is BAD, and run. Anyways, not knowing anyone, I got paired with Renee and she managed to save my hair. She was able to give me quality foil highlights using a highlight and lowlight to my blonde hair and after a few treatments + sessions with Renee every 2-3 months, my hair became healthier, stronger and prettier. Renee is also hilarious and good natured without being annoyingly perky or overly talkative. She's conscientious, usually always on time and very knowledgeable. I'm obsessed with her. Julie cuts my hair - Julie is great because she's a positive, super bubbly and unique stylist. However she has a great eye for knowing what will and won't look good on her clients and will talk out every haircut beforehand so you know what to expect and there are no nasty surprises. Also she's always up to something fun so she's easy to chat up. I always leave Sassoon with better looking hair and in a better mood than when I came in. Are they expensive? Yes. But I've learned the hard way cheap hair care will lead to shittastic hair. read more

After a bleach job I came to Sassoon in desperation to save my hair. The color of my hair was an awful brassy yellow and felt like straw or Barbie hair from the amount of damage it had from the bleach! Jennifer, the colorist there, reassured me that it was fixable. I then did a moisturizing treatment and Molly cut 3 inches off my hair which was beautifully cut in regards to my facial structure and hair type. I came back a week later to fix my color with Jennifer (as my hair was very delicate at the time) and I have to say she knew exactly what she was doing and payed very close attention to the overall look I was going for! She nailed it! My hair looks beautiful and I couldn't be happier with my experience there! read more

Sassoon Salon - From a bleach disaster to a natural looking brown, Jennifer did a wonderful job on my hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A trip here is worth every penny! Kathleen is a miracle worker. My hair is thick with an irregular wave and she tames it with ease. I first came to her seeking the classic Sassoon a-line bob and she whipped my hair into submission. Every visit since has been better and better. Now that she sees where my hair grows in bulky she thins it out and makes me feel like a rock star with the amazing finished look. Kathleen is fabulous and I look forward to chatting with her as much as I do feeling like a million dollars. My hair has never looked this good in my life. She is my hair's hero!!! read more

I recently had a bad experience with a stylist at another salon. She butchered my hair and was not nice. So, I asked my friend for a recommendation and she pointed me to Sassoon. I was impressed with the way the employees were welcoming and friendly... something that really surprised me. My past experience with really expensive salons is that if you are new or don't look like you are rich then you don't get the time of day. Even the hair washer (I think her name was Ashley) was super nice! My stylist was also very nice and right on time. She did a great job with the style and cut! Despite my hair looking flat, lifeless, and shapeless when I walked in she was able to give me a easy to style and modern cut! She was also kind enough to explain how to blow dry my hair and how to style it... which most stylist don't do. It made it possible for me to go home and recreate the style exactly how she did it. Love my haircut! Will definitely be returning as a regular costumer! The only con I can think of is the cost. It was a little more expensive than where I used to get my haircut but I think it's totally worth it! read more

As with most salons, I can only speak for the employees I've made appointments with. Renee has been my colorist for six months now, when I decided to go very very red, which requires much upkeep. She is friendly, funny, and very thorough. She's great! Julie has recently cut my hair, and gave me the first haircut I've been happy with in years. As someone who is trying to grow her hair out, haircuts are a nightmare. One inch becomes four inches, or you end up with some feathered 80s butt-rock mullet. Julie listened to my little rant and gave me a great trim. She's bubbly and personable. Now.
