This is truly a luxury salon and a hidden gem in Boston! Tucked away in Beacon Hill, this is my go to from color to cut to updos and makeup. Marina and her team do it all! The quality and experience are unmatched.

ZenaRose 9/2019

If you need to get dolled up on a Sunday morning, and you don't know how to do it yourself, there aren't a whole bunch of options. However, ZenaRose out on Beacon Hill, is one of them. Permit parking is the name of the game, however, there are a few Visitor Parking spots, and further afield are the meter parking, and an underground parking lot beneath Boston Common. Having driven by one of many Sunday events happening at the Hatchshell not that far off, I was wondering how parking would go, but lucked into a visitor spot on a corner. Events price quote from their website (10/2019): Up-Style - $65/75/85 Makeup (includes lashes) - $65/75/85 *airbrush make up + $50 I had made my appointment in June (when the website was quoting: Up-Style $55/65/75/85; Makeup (includes lashes) $50/65/75/85) and upon my request for a quote was given a rate of $60 makeup and $55 upstyle with Estefania - Not quite sure what happened, as somehow I ended up being charged $125. I admit that I'm not the ideal beauty shop customer. I'm not familiar with what's proper and what's do-able. All I knew was that I wanted something natural looking, since I don't normally wear make-up, and that I needed my hair swept off to one side. I warned her about the particulars of my eye lids and lips that I had learnt over my limited applications over the years, and informed her that I had been told that my hair holds curls well. I had wisely washed my hair the day prior (not the morning of) so there would be some natural grease, and had scrubbed away at any dry lip skin over the week. Having figured I would need to reapply lipstick over the stretch of the day, I had brought my own lipstick, having matched it well to my dress. Yup, I ended up reapplying at least trice. She was friendly and spent extra time on me since I was a bit unsure about how I wanted the back of my head to look. I prefer to listen rather than talk when I am in the chair, and she was amiable. The hair held up fine. My eye make up however ended up smudging along my bottom lid. Yup, raccoon eyes. I wonder if that were something that could have been warded against... Fortunately it was more noticeable close up - from a distance I still looked okay, though my small smiley Asian eyes were even tinier and near shut looking in some of the reception photos. Tips for self - bring q-tips in case of eye make-up issues. And roll or dab, don't wipe. (Don't take my 3 stars as a negative. For me, 3 stars is okay, and for me, getting my hair and make-up done, and wearing it all day thusly is a chore. Not to mention getting it all off afterwards... But that's what you do for friends! But it also means I'm not going to love the process.) Marina, Estefania, and the receptionist were all nice and friendly, and want you to be happy with how you look. I was offered coffee and water. The salon is cozy and warm, and I liked how they decorated the sink area out back.

I had an amazing experience at this salon. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I LOVE my hair! I have never gotten braids that look like this and i am in love. Definitely come here and prepare to be blown away!

We had our nephew's wedding in Beacon Hill and I found ZenaRose to have my hair and make up done for it. Nina did an amazing job with my blow out as did Marina with my makeup. I received so many compliments on both. I loved everything about the salon.... the decor, the atmosphere and most of all how friendly everyone was. I live 35 miles away but will definitely be back for any future special occasions and am even considering making this my permanent salon. Don't think twice about going here!

I got my hair done for my engagement shoot here and it was the best experience! Marina is sweet, funny, warm and kind. I was so nervous to get my hair done but it turned out great. Also my appointment was at 9 am but my shoot was at 4pm. Marina told me to swing by right before my shoot so she could touch up my hair. She did the touch up for free she wouldn't even let me tip. I highly recommend trying ZenaRose!

My bridesmaids and I got our hair and makeup done by Britt and Ri on my wedding day (in-salon package). I could not be happier with how our whole ZenaRose experience went! The scheduling with Carolyn was a breeze, and she is an absolute delight. Then, from my trial with Britt, I could see how much expertise she had, how well she worked with the rest of the ZenaRose team, and how willing she was to listen to my preferences. I am Asian and was a bit worried at how she would handle my eye makeup, but we tried a couple of different things and she totally nailed it! Plus, I also have dyed blond hair, and Britt squeezed me in for a gloss two weeks before the wedding to get the color just right (which worked great even though I had done an unfortunate at-home toner). On the day of, Britt and Ri were NON STOP from the second we got there, getting us done even a couple minutes ahead of schedule. Each bridesmaid looked fantastic and I am still getting compliments about my bridal wedding day makeup. Best part was, both hair and makeup stayed in place all day! I highly recommend the team at ZenaRose, especially Britt, for your wedding makeup and hair!

I'm recently moved to Boston and was nervous about finding a new hair dresser, but ZenaRose did not disappoint! I had Kelly and she was incredible. I think this is the best hair I've ever had. The salon is super clean, so pretty, and everyone was really friendly. I'm definitely going back.

My hair is relatively long and I was interested in getting a blowout done. I had my hair cut last month. Does anyone know the cost of a blowout without a haircut?

Hi Sarish! So sorry for the delay! Our blowout are between $45-$80! Xo…

Getting my hair done is a particularly anxiety-inducing experience for me. I am someone who doesn't…read morewant to make a ruse, so I will often bite my tongue when something isn't the way I want it for the sake of making sure other people are happy. And getting my hair done is no exception to that. I had been searching for a hair salon in Somerville for a few weeks now as I've been going back and forth about getting my hair cut short again. I finally made the decision and booked an appointment at Salon Luna. When I made the call to book, the person on the phone asked me what my hair was like and said he had some ideas for stylists who would be a good fit for my hair type. I LOVE that they did that. It made me really excited for my appointment. When I arrived at the salon, there were plenty of bottles of hand sanitizer and everything was very clean. Everyone was wearing a mask and clients were spaced out when hair was being cut, washed, or styled. They are not doing blow dries at the time which was also reassuring to hear that they are taking this seriously. I was seated and Sandra came to talk about what we would do with my hair. She was so incredibly friendly and had a lot of ideas and expertise on what she though would look good. We talked a little bit while she was cutting, but I didn't feel pressured at all about having to talk if I didn't want to, which was really nice. When she was done, I payed and we chatted some more about styling techniques. And then I left....but our journey doesn't end there. When I got home, my hair was starting to really dry and I didn't really love it. It was a lot longer than I had wanted and the layers weren't falling like I anticipated. I debated for a long time about whether or not I should call, especially because there are some iffy reviews on here about customer service once the client had left. But after much debate, I decided to call back. The person on the phone was so nice and said that they would absolutely be able to make an adjustment and scheduled me again with Sandra for the next day. When I came in today for the adjustment, Sandra was so kind and understanding about it. She expressed the reasons why she didn't cut it short, but said that if it's what I really wanted, then it would look great and we should go ahead and do it. The second appointment took about 20 minutes and I left feeling so so good. I was not charged a second time. I will definitely be back to Salon Luna. The customer service was awesome and Sandra was so so nice. She honestly made the whole experience worth it.

Kayla is fabulous, gives me a great cut, and is very sensitive to her client's wishes. A lovely…read moreperson as well.
