I've only had standard haircuts at Bei Capelli and I've had very positive experiences each time…read more Brittany (Level 5) has consistently given me excellent layering that I can effortlessly style. Also, I once had a haircut done by Kaitlyn and I can easily say she gave me the best hair washing experience I've ever had to the point I'm considering just booking her on random occasions when I need a deep clean wash. The space is beautifully decorated and I like the lounge area (there's one downstairs and upstairs). You can enjoy coffee, tea, sparkling water and a granola bar while you wait for your appointment. Have never had an issues with the front desk, they've always been polite and kind to me!

I recently got a haircut from Caitlin Benner, and let me tell you, she's like Edward Scissorhands…read morereincarnated!! minus the gothic vibes lol. Her hands moved with such precision and flair, it was like watching a master sculptor carve a MASTERPIECE out of my messy mane. Every snip was deliberate, transforming my hair into a sleek, stylish work of art in record time. Caitlin's skill is unreal. She danced around my head with the confidence of a topiary artist, blending layers and shaping my hair with a finesse that felt almost supernatural. I left the Gorham Hair and Co feeling like I'd been touched by a hair cutting legend. If you want a cut that's sharp, flawless, and downright magical, Caitlin's your Edward Scissorhands, book her now!!!!

He has a sixth sense for design and he listens. I have actually called him a "hair whisperer", because it is rare to find someone so in tune with their craft. Four or five weeks later, I can still rely on the shape of the cut. And his salon is total relaxation, because it looks out on a beautiful, peaceful meadow. For me, he was a find!

My teenage daughter has been getting her hair done at Shine for about 3 years. She started out…read moregetting simple hair cuts, and over the years has progressed to getting highlights (foil) and more advanced hair styles with long layers, "curtain bangs". The salon has a wonderful vibe and esthetic for young women to discover their style and explore different hairstyles. The people who work there are friendly and welcoming. They pay attention to each customer's specific needs, making sure to care for them in a way that feels comfortable and easy so they can be themselves. Every time my daughter has an appointment she leaves feeling so good about herself, and is so happy - this is a such a gift! The appointment scheduling is easy, and they do text appointment reminders and confirmations, and it is easy to reschedule if needed. The prices are the average of what one would pay anywhere for hair services...they definitely are not more expensive than other places. The only slightly negative thing is they do seem to recommend a lot of hair products...and at our last visit...they recommended $150 worth of products...and one product...a small bottle of some kind of styling gel was $53 by itself. This seems a bit excessive. When I declined to purchase, there was no attitude or pressure to reconsider....Thank goodness!

The salon itself has a warm, clean, professional, and welcoming ambiance. The online booking process was super easy. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Shine, and Iralys in particular, for an outstanding experience that will leave you feeling empowered, confident, and heavily complimented! Just be careful if you're driving yourself home, because you're going to want to take selfies.

I prefer a traditional men's cut, nothing fancy, and Linda makes it look exceptional. She is a true artist and is there for YOU, this is not some woman "doing her job." After my first cut two years ago I was so thrilled and confident with my new 'do that I had to phone my mother (I'm 35, so what). Now they wish each other pleasantries when cut time rolls around. Linda, and the family of reviewers, thank you for helping me find the haircut I've always wanted. I never knew that my type of hair could be tamed and look so good!

Linda changed all of that a few years ago with a fantastic cut which let me return to the wash and shake dry days of my youth. It is no exaggeration to say that she gave my hair back to me: my formerly dry and heat-damaged hair is now soft and healthy again. And if that were not enough, the second floor salon overlooking Congress Square Park and Linda's company are both a pleasure to experience. You may have to wait a little bit to get an appointment, but it is 100% worth it!

After her daughter (who by the way is autistic) couldn't decide on her color choice in the first 5 minutes, the manager began giving her attitude and mader her cry. There was no apology from the owner or manager or anyone at the salon. As if that wasn't bad enough, the owner then proceeds to go on the salon's Facebook page and without provocation from the girl, posted the following comment... "I guess it's not easy pleasing everyone... especially teenage girls =).... oh well have a great day!" After talking with others who are familiar witht his salon it was clear to me and everyone else involved this is just how this place operates. Pretty sad if you ask me. My advice? Pick a different salon!!
