I feel comfortable asking her questions about my skin beyond the hair growth. Lastly, her prices are beyond fair and competitive given what you are getting in quality.

The Kevin Murphy color does not wash out. The salon is easy to find, plenty of parking, clean and the front portion is a neat boutique, called The Vibe, which has a lot of unique items made by local artists. I was in an out in under 90 minutes, which included a blow dry as well as the root color. $110 is very reasonable, and you can pay with credit card. I tip with cash though. It is very convenient to book online, the app is intuitive and reminders are sent prior to the appointment. Stacy has a warm personality and is a great stylist and I trust her completely with my hair :)

The price was definitely more expensive than expected for a style cut, however, I had no problem paying the price because my experience was so great. My hair looks awesome! I will absolutely be coming back.

Bad customer service. I had been seeing Jocelyn in the Concord location for a year. My color and…read morehighlights at my most recent last appointment in February went off the rails. Jocelyn used the dryer to speed up color processing even though I had been sitting for quite a while. In the end, I had extremely bright highlights around my face, no highlights in my part where I was trying to blend gray (the whole purpose of color) and then brassy hair everywhere else. I called to schedule a correction and couldn't get in for 2 weeks. Then a few days before the appointment, I get a voicemail saying Jocelyn is no longer there but the owner, Helen, can do my correction in Acton. When I arrived for my correction, I told the owner about the issues with my hair - she acknowledged it and offered to fix it with a combination of foils and toner. She almost didn't do the toner, but I insisted as that was the correction I truly needed. She finally does it, dries my hair then starts trimming it as she said it was uneven and asked who cut it last; it was Jocelyn. As we are talking, she informed me Jocelyn gave a 4 weeks notice too so Jocelyn knew she was dumping me after a crappy color. When I go to leave, she was grumbling about what to charge me and charged me $120. I was upset and she went onto to say that this was more than just toner (ironically), and she was giving me a deal. No apology for anything, just asks for more money. She totally took me for a ride - I wouldn't have let her do anything had I known she was just trying to get money out of me. I just paid $155 the week before plus tip. So now I have spent $300+ in 2 weeks and my hair looks ok. I would look elsewhere - I've never been charged for corrections nor upsold in this way.
