    Best hair cut and style EVER for me! My daughter also got her hair fixed by Gaston (she attempted to bleach it 2 days before wedding) and he stayed late to make it perfect! We got so many compliments on our hair at the wedding! AMAZING! The place is also lovely, great atmosphere and refreshments.

    My go to hair salon for 10+ years. Donika is the best! I'm always welcomed with a tea or a cappuccino. I usually get a hair color, a cut and a blow dry in less than 2 hrs. You find parking in front of the salon if you book early appointments ( Newbury st parking can be challenging sometimes) price is reasonable and I would not change it for any other places. 5 stars all the way!

    scalp flaking from Keratin treatment
    Lily S.

    I really wanted to like this place because everyone was so nice but I got a keratin treatment (something i've gotten done 10+ times in my life) and I noticed my scalp was hurting - like a lot. I told the stylist that is hurt and she opened a window as if that would help and continued working. After two days, my scalp is flaking off in chunks. It's so gross and all of my vacation pictures look like I have a serious dandruff problem (I don't). I think it's from burns from the blow dryer she was using. Or maybe they used a chemical that should not have been used. Either way, stay away.

    I had been to multiple salons around Boston before I finally found Acote Salon. After getting balayage for the first time at a different salon earlier this year, I decided it was finally time to commit to a salon where I could trust the stylists with my hair and also make sure it was a place that I felt comfortable and relaxed in. As someone who only gets their hair done a maximum of two times a year it was important for me to find the perfect place and this salon did not disappoint! Melissa did a haircut and balayage touch-up for me, I was really happy that she took me early and I was in and out of there in less than 3 hours. She listened to what I wanted and made suggestions based upon my preferred maintenance of my hair. I should also add that I have thick, naturally very dark Asian hair and she did a great short hair cut on my hair. I already can't wait to come back to Salon Acote for my next hair service - it was a plus that for two services the price was still less than many luxury salons in the area and for the complimentary drinks and snacks I would say their prices are more than worth it with such a talented team of stylists.

    I was very satisfied. My friend recommended me to try it here. I booked it with Nazila as there were many positive reviews about her. Not only she was very honest and patient with her work but also she was very experience with her hair cutting skills and balayage skills. I gave her some pictures of what I wanted and she perfected it. She even gave me some of her suggestions and feedback about the color u chose and said I should tweak a little in order for me to not look pale and sick. This place is busy so definitely need to book. She was very friendly and was skilled at what she does. She has more than 36 years of hair cutting experience and really put a lot of time and effort painting/cutting my hair. I will definitely come back. Thanks Nazila!

    My hair by Miriam at Salon Acote

    I have extremely thick wavy hair and I've been getting it colored (blonde) for years. I know there are a lot of talented people at this salon. Personally, I love how Miriam does my hair. I'm going to post a photo of the blowout I had today just so you can see that I'm not exaggerating. She's great with color, cuts, blowouts, and stunning up-do's I've seen her do, and to top it off she's super nice, listens to what you what, and delivers. I don't write many reviews but when I do it's because I highly recommend something. Miriam is the best! I couldn't be happier with my hair! This is also a really nice salon. It's always clean, professional, and a friendly warm environment.

    Nazila did a phenomenal job! Won't be going anywhere else in Boston for my hair needs!

    I'm new to Boston and have tried a couple places for a haircut. From the hair wash with Natasha to the cut with Nazila, this place is by far the best. Everyone was polite, I was immediately offered a coffee which I drank on their outdoor roof patio (I arrived a few minutes early). I showed Nazila a couple pictures and she knew exactly what I wanted (better than I did) and carried it out perfectly. My hair is weirdly wavy but she just knew how to make it lie well. I could describe it in words, but why do that when I can attach a photo? The complimentary after-cut chocolates were just icing:) I won't be going anywhere else for a cut in this city.

    After : bobbed haircut , I had a better photo but I didn't get to save it

    How much would a balayage and haircut cost for someone who has long hair and a lot of it?

    Hi, Our balayage starts at $185. I would recommend booking a consultation to get a more customized price.

I've had lashes before and wasn't super thrilled with the application or how long they held up, so I did extensive research to find the best possible place this time around. Cherise and I discussed what length of lashes I'd like, and how dramatic I'd like them to be and we got down to business. As Yelp had been featuring a deal for $60 for $100 I decided to go for the second longest lash extension option, which I believe was marketed as $349 (for the synthetic Xtreme lashes). Maybe pricier than your $60 Ktown job, but definitely worth the value. She laid me down on her super comfy massage bed and set to work (after applying a cooling undereye strip to hold down my bottom lashes and removing my makeup). During the middle of the application I had to use the bathroom, and she told me to check out the lashes while I was there to see if I wanted them any longer or curlier. I did want a little more length and drama, so she added longer lashes for the last half. These lashes have lasted over 4 weeks and look INCREDIBLE. They are so natural looking and have held up through a week trip to Miami (during which I swam in the ocean, pool, went on a super windy airboat ride in the everglades, etc) and then back at home through excessive heat, more beach trips, and daily super sweaty work outs. I also haven't felt the need to use mascara or strip lashes since I've gotten these extensions applied. I will DEFINITELY be coming back for refills, great conversation, and laughter. Cherise is the best. Best value, best environment, best lashes.

I have decent volume and length in my eyelashes but they are VERY straight, which means they're not easy to work with, but she was able to make the fake lashes look beautiful and natural. She trained in South Korea and New York so she really knows what she's doing. Her office is immaculate and calming, and she's very kind. Takes COVID protocols very seriously which is great. The only downside is that it's quite expensive but so are the other eyelash studios in Boston. I would definitely recommend CJ eyelashes/Christine to anyone who wants high quality - it's worth it. I used to get fake eyelashes every 2-4 weeks for 2 years straight so I'm very picky. Will definitely be coming to Christine any time I need fake eyelashes for a special occasion!

    I came here based on reviews that I read off of Yelp. I specifically came here for eyelash…read moreextensions. I have had them before, but at a spa/salon in Swampscott (had a Groupon!), and they lashes would fall out in clumps and just looked a mess. My first impressions of the store was - WOW, it is TINY! I wonder where my extensions will take place! It happened to be in a nook of the room behind the cashier's desk, but the adjustable spa bed was pretty comfortable, and although it was a small space, I was still comfortable! At this point, my eyelashes were very short like they were cut off because of the damage done to them from the other spa's poor work. Amy asked me a few questions on how I would like my eyelashes - natural? Was this a one time thing for an event, etc? I wanted them to be natural looking, but long enough so that they were alluring. Amy did exactly that! She spent 2 hours gluing eyelashes on each of my short broken eyelashes. Amy = eyelash saver. And the receptionist/saleswoman/cashier at the front was also SUPER friendly. Since it was at 11am on a Saturday, it was really just the 3 of us in the store, but it felt like the 2 hours was only 20 minutes because we were all cracking jokes, laughing and just shooting the breeze. They were easy going, funny and very friendly. 3 weeks later, I went back for my refill - the eyelashes held up really well, and the refill only took 30-40 minutes and the place has SO MUCH good stuff (skincare, hand lotion, make up, etc). Amy really knows her stuff as she's been in the makeup/skincare/cosmetic industry for decades, although she looks so young!!!!!! Anyway, enough of this. If you want good service, good quality work, and someone who knows her stuff in terms of makeup/skincare/cosmetics, The Beauty Mark is the place to go. No questions about it.
