Upon walking into the salon, I was put at ease right away by the staff as they were very nice and welcoming. I was especially happy with the fabulous cut that I received from Margaux. I am most impressed with how Margaux took the time to really listen to how I wanted my hair cut, and how well she adapted to suggestions during the cut. The next time I'm in the area, I will definitely make another appointment with Margaux!

Spent three months travelling throughout Maine and although there was only three CVS pharmacies in…read morethe entire state, I was both surprised and relieved that there were actually more Aveda Salons and this one 45 minutes from where we were staying. I was doubtful that they would agree to respond to an internet inquiry as I wouldn't be a repeat customer but was pleasantly surprised when not only they responded but put with one of their most senior stylist as I was sure I'd be put with a newbie. I understand everyone has to start somewhere but I had a sudden health crisis a year ago that resulted in major hair loss. I was subsequently deeply concerned about a neophyte coloring and trimming my hair. I emailed them my regular stylist's "recipe" and Naomi was an absolute master at her craft. She did an incredible job and was very much a subject matter expert as to what I could do to protect my hair that was coming back in and asses how much new growth I had given it was all uneven. I am strictly team Aveda for years and years but often the sacrifice is the personality of the stylist and although I'm fine with silence, Naomi was the absolute coolest and a complete delight. Do hair and your psyche a favor and schedule an appointment with Naomi, you're worth it and so is the experience.

Eena did a fantastic job with my bridal hairdo! I have very fine, straight hair and she was able to…read morecreate the curled, voluptuous updo I was dreaming of. She asked my opinion about many details to be sure I liked how it looked. Her pricing is more than reasonable compared to what most stylists offer, and she even traveled to our airbnb in Gouldsboro on a day the salon is closed. We genuinely enjoyed meeting her and are happy she was a part of our elopement day. Thank you, Eena!! @hairbyeena

I made an appointment for a full highlights and toner session with Madi. The appointment took under…read more3 hours despite my very long hair. Madi was super friendly and did a wonderful job on my hair. I came in with three months of regrowth since my last balayage appointment at another salon. She was able to listen to what I wanted and blended my previous lightened pieces with my roots for a more natural grow out. She also got rid of all my warm brassy color and delivered a beautiful beige, cool toned bronde color that I was not expecting. The Salon itself is very spacious and clean. There's only two hair stylists and one barber on site. I believe there also have two nail techs in the salon as well.I highly recommend!

I've been looking for a new tanning place and I called to inquire about their packages & pricing for tanning. Before finishing my first sentence, the lady on the phone cut me off and snapped that they're not accepting new clients. I told her "Oh ok, I'm not interested in a stylist though. Just trying to ask about the tanning" and she once again shrieked at me "I just told you we're not accepting any new clients!" I've never heard of a tanning place only offering limited tanning positions to very exclusive clientele. And the rudeness was creepy. Steer clear.
