    Day after the cut, ad the wave and volume are still going strong!
    Christine W.

    It was a privilege to have Nan as my hair stylist at SKA. I messaged the team with a specific look in mind, and they recommended that I come get a consultation. During the consultation, Nan assessed my hair texture, condition, and recommended a Korean perm. Because I have super thick hair, I was nervous about the result - but Nan assured me it would help me achieve the volume that I was seeking. In my second appointment, Nan did the wash, cut, perm, and also taught me how to care for / style the perm. I appreciated how detail-oriented, and thoughtful her approach was. For example, because I recently had some hair loss & regrowth, she took the time to painstakingly perm the baby hairs that were just growing out. The final result was exactly what I had hoped for. I'd highly recommend visiting SKA (and Nan) for an incredible hair care experience. Thank you so much Nan!

    Been getting my haircut here for about 6 months now and it's been fantastic! I've been working with Irvin and he's been helping me find my style for my head shape. Before I went to your normal barber doing a skin fade combover, but now I have a full on perm. Love the place and will be coming here for the foreseeable future! Areas super clean and the staff are accommodating. Modern and sheik layout!

    I have been here 2x and I will never go to another salon again. I did a ton of research on boston salons (specifically colorists) and SKA did not disappoint. It's also affordable! First time I came for a haircut and asked for a butterfly cut with rounded layers. they were so nice and so knowledgable. second time, i came to irivin to dye my hair a wine red color. the whole process took the entire day bc we had to bleach my hair. i posted an inspo pic here of what i asked for and what i got. i literally could not be happier. it looks SO GOOD! irivin also gave me realistic expectations since my hair had been bleached and dyed before. it still turned out better than i could've imagined. if you have asian hair (and especially if you're bleaching it), PLEASE do yourself a favor and go to SKA because they will take care of it better than anywhere else can.

    I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE! To preface, I dyed my hair at home for like 6 years. Basically all throughout college and after. Thus, I came to my hair bleached and pretty much dead (see before photo below). So, I figured it was time to finally 1) get it done professionally and 2) start taking better care of my hair. Sophie and her team were wonderful! I reached out to them on instagram and then we set up an appointment. They were so kind and friendly when I got there! They got started on my hair, constantly checking on me to make sure I was comfortable, if I needed water/soda, if I was hungry, etc. It was a long process, but totally worth it! They were careful in making sure to go slow and steady so my hair would be ok. They also gave me a haircut and chopped off my dead ends. They also included a free purple shampoo to tone my hair, and recommended some hair care products based on my questions, which I happily purchased! The cherry on top was that I actually wasn't 10000% happy with the way my hair first came out. It was no fault on their end, since it was the color I asked for, but it felt too light on my skin tone. They stayed AFTER HOURS to achieve the perfect hair color, and even walked me out to my uber since it was late at night. Overall, amazing experience. 10/10 hair color, 10/10 people, and honestly the day flew by. Highly recommend! And I'll definitely come back soon! Thank you!!!

    Good deal on ClassPass, including paying a few more credits for duo or trio…read more Really liked: - getting wrapped in a cozy cocoon on a continuously warmed bed - steamer - overall many layers of skin treatment and the feel of each - "Let the Expert Decide" - at first I was afraid she was upselling but after discussion including that I had an event in 2 days, she decided against the peel + other treatment that would be +$20 on top of the duo I'd booked and the other recommendation did not require any additional $ - Arm massage felt really nice Could be better: - Small curtained off treatment rooms and tiny dressing areas. Really detracted from a luxury pampering spa feel - While the waiting area was fine, the small paper water cup offered and lack of tea or infused water other options also felt like a missed opportunity for a small thing that enhances the customer experience from the start - neck massage was so light touch that it really was just an "extra" relaxing thing but nothing like the massages I normally get that actually release tension - I had to wait a while for the front desk woman to come back to check me out. There was no apology or explanation. She was very nice though so I wasn't too upset about it. But perhaps they have more systemic issues coordinating schedules of treatment, front desk service, and other responsibilities. Also it could have just been a 1-off

    The woman who did my facial was very nice and I liked the relaxing atmosphere. My skin looked glowy…read moreafter the facial and I felt relaxed. I've waited a week after my facial to leave a review to make sure that I got a sense of my full results. That being said, I don't feel as though I received a very thorough facial. My mascara was not removed, which I saw another review comment on, and I thought that was strange. I left the facial with mascara under my eyes which didn't make me look/feel clean and refreshed. I told my aesthetician that my main concern was skin congestion, but I felt that she didn't do many extractions, and I feel like I left with about as much congestion as I came in with, which was a bit disappointing. For the cost, I don't think I would recommend this spa to a friend or return myself. Unfortunately, I don't think that I got amazing results even though the experience itself was nice.
