Let me preface this by saying I've been doing my own makeup and others' for years and years. So, my…read morestandards are pretty high. Maybe impossibly high. I have never liked the way anyone else has done my makeup, but I decided to take a chance with the Buy With Me voucher. My friend and I went to try it out. I was looking for something different. And after, I definitely looked different. The eye makeup was way too much for my face, and made my eyes look tiny. The dark extended from my crease to my eyebrow and even in my inner eye. Almost like a super intense smokey eye. I am warm colored, but the eye and face makeup used was cool. I looked sickly, and from far away like I had been punched in both eyes. Even my friend, who is usually positive and looking for the best, thought I looked awful. She was underwhelmed with her results too, and she'd gone to learn makeup application tips. The owner was gracious enough to redo my makeup. Both women were so sweet to myself and my friend. I tried to find things to purchase after, but I have more color assortment in my own personal makeup drawer than I found in the store. I'm sure this is a wonderful place for weddings... I feel bad writing this review because of how lovely they treated us, but I just felt underwhelmed and ugly looking at myself when it was over, which is the last thing you want after you've gotten your makeup done. My friend and I both went home and washed our faces. My only tip is to just be very specific with what you want. I said do whatever. And I got whatever.

Paula did my makeup for my wedding back in August and did an amazing job. We had a trial a few…read moreweeks before and she helped me determine exactly what would looked good based on my inspiration, skin and wedding details. She is friendly, helpful and made me feel so at ease. For my wedding day, she did my makeup and 6 bridesmaids. Everyone commented how gorgeous and natural everyone looked. Paula also applied lashes to a few other friends/family members that decided last minute they wanted a little something for the wedding. So helpful! I highly recommend Paula and look forward to working with her again soon!

I went to Japan for a semester, and while I could have bought the same products in Tokyo for cheaper than what she sells, I decided to wait until I come back to Boston to support her business. I really needed some new BB cream and when I asked her for one she brought out the same product, but half the size with the same original price. Why should I pay full price when I'm getting half the original size? I asked her if there was a mistake since I know the product I had been buying for a year and a half was bigger and a different color (still the same brand and everything). She said, "No, honey it's always this one." I was really shocked she could have lied to my face when I've been such a loyal customer. I'm really hoping she is just being forgetful or honestly thought that was the same sized product, but I don't know how that would be possible either. It really didn't sit well with me so I would suggest that if you go here, be sensible about your purchases. BB cream is not as hard to come by anymore with brands like Smashbox carrying them now.

I had heard that the ladies at Sarra are the best in the biz for brows so I made my appt and will not be going anywhere else from here on out! Thanks, Sarra!!

I really appreciate their patience and willingness to bridge the language barrier. Prices here are also fantastic. It can be difficult to find/see prices on some items because of the small stickers and jam-packed shelves; finding a way to more clearly mark items would be very beneficial. Isle signs would also be very helpful to assist customers in navigating the store. I will definitely be back!

Wow! I wish I had read the Google reviews before walking in…read more The owner was extremely rude and showed zero customer care. I went for the first time to inquire about braid prices and possibly book an appointment, but I was met with unfriendly faces from the start. Her tone was aggressive, and she kept smiling in a condescending way while speaking to me. Even the employee at the door looked at me like I didn't belong there. The interaction made me so uncomfortable that I changed my mind about buying anything. At first, I thought maybe I had done something wrong, until I read other reviews and realized this seems to be a pattern here. This is not how a business should treat potential customers.

After taking their online hair quiz for new clients, I was booked with Maya! Their team was prompt on following up after my quiz to book. I appreciate their continuous promptness.

Their services are well priced, welcoming from the moment you walk in & always providing a great service.

I moved here a few years back and could not let go of my old hair dresser. I finally decided, to try and find a new salon in the Boston-area. For extra reference, I did a LOT of research: comparing location, price, distance from my own home, and then ofcourse the staff. Cleo did a tremendous job of keeping their website up to date so that you are able to get to know the team. In addition, they keep their Instagram updated daily, sharing last minute appointment slots, and fun-facts about their stylists. I was really nervous but was connected with Nikki, who was absolutely amazing. Nikki took the time to get to know me and my hair, in addition to following everything I asked for! She did not overcut my long hair, and layered it exactly how I had wished for. I would highly recommend following the Cleo Instagram (@cleosalonboston) and looking for Nikki's page to get a feel for her experience. 10/10 recommend. In regards to pricing and location, Cleo's curated cut was very reasonable in comparison to other salons that typically charge over $100. The location is just off of Cambridge street and there is street parking all over! It was easy to get in and out of the area. Highly recommend!

Lynn, MA has several beauty supply shops, so I took the train down to go shopping for some hair…read moreextensions and dye. I visited 2 other shops before going to Vecina. I would like to review the other two, both of them on Union St, not far from Vecina, the big one almost across the street was very expensive, and the second down the road was filthy, nasty and mostly all synthetic crap.. having deciding against making a purchase at the other two, I headed back to the train station and that's when I saw Vecina and I am so happy I went in because I got exactly what I was looking for at good prices, and the service was superior, pleasant and exceptional. OK, the shop itself is a bit small, however, it is jam packed with everything from cosmetics, hair supply and more. I ended up getting everything I needed. Hair extensions, dye and even some make up too. The staff are native Spanish speaking, however, the woman that helped me knows enough English, with a minor amount of trouble, but she was so very nice and answered so many questions for me. She was so helpful and knows her products very well and told me everything I needed to know to make my purchases and in their use and care, etc.. and the prices were very reasonable to, not too expensive like the larger store nearby. I am new and inexperienced with the use of weave in extensions, so I am very grateful that the sales person was as helpful as she was. If you're looking for human hair extensions, or specialty color dyes for ombre, etc, I highly recommend Vecina and believe you will not be disappointed.

But, yes another but, if you are someone who is anal about getting your receipt, you'll have to return to pick it up the next day.
