Love, love this salon in my hometown, Amesbury! Kerin has been my stylist for over a year, and she is awesome. They offer a variety of services including hair cuts, hair color, blowouts, perms, keratin smoothing treatments, extensions and waxing. The salon itself is very modern and pretty, and always clean! They have a separate room that you can sit with your hair color on and read a magazine, and they even offer you snacks and beverages. I love that they carry Kevin Murphy products, which are all cruelty free and PETA certified. I like the "young again" line, which makes your hair feel baby soft and full., and the dry shampoo. You will leave Salon Aniu feeling like a beautiful princess! Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. read more

I have been going to Aniu for a number of years. I've seen a few different stylists including wonderful Lena, who moved...but now just Emma. They are all fantastic there! She's morphed me from my dark brown hair to my natural gray in a few visits. I'm loving it! You can't go wrong with any of the stylists there. They're a warm welcoming bunch of ladies! read more

When I visit Salon Aniu I know I am in amazing hands. The know how and technical expertise about cuts and color by the team there shows. When I come out I know my hair has been cared for and I'm getting extremely dedicated attention during my visit. When I bring my daughter it is a wonderful fun experience as she embarks on her hair experiences! Thank you! read more

I went here for an updo and was very pleased. The staff is very friendly and the salon as a whole has a calm atmosphere. My stylist was able to do my hair exactly how I wanted it, and it came out beautiful. The only reason I didn't give the salon 5 stars is because it is a little overpriced and my updo didn't stay in for as long as it should have. I would recommend this place to a friend, but if you're getting an updo or some sort of hairstyle for a special occasion I would make sure they secure it properly. read more

My mother, sister, and I have been coming to this salon to see Niki for over a year now and we all highly recommend her. We have all consistently loved the cuts she gives, she's a great conversationalist, and gives the best head massages. Highly Recommend! In addition, the staff offer you a beverage when you come in and to take your jacket, which is such a lovely thing to do. read more

I have never done a negative review following any visit to a salon. It is not my intention to cause an individual professional harm so I will not name the stylist- but I do need to express my feelings after my experience at Salon Anui in Amesbury. It is important to add that part of my expense was a gift card, from a relative. The relative is a regular client who began her patronage when I purchased a gift certificate for her a few years back. I have come in to purchase gift cards for her every Christmas since and she has always been pleased with the result. I had requested balayage with light ash blonde streaks. I made a specific point to express that I did not want brassy or yellow highlights. Additionally, I requested some more traditional highlight streaks in the front to cover/camouflage the few greys that creep into the area. I had 5 inches cut also. This look was an overhaul for me and I was willing to spend the time necessary for processing as well as the money to get what I wanted. The stylist agreed that she could do some traditional foil highlights in the front if I felt the balayage couldn't provide the grey coverage that I wanted. Knowing full well that I wanted some coverage at the roots in front, I assumed that I could just remind her when we arrived at that point. The highlights were utterly disappointing. As the stylist proceeded to balayage the top crown area, I reminded her about the highlights I had requested in the front. She basically refused and advised me that the balayage should be enough to draw attention away from the greys and that I should just, "trust the process," but that was not what I had asked for. Immediately, I felt condescended to and knew that she had no intention of doing what I'd asked. About this time, she had another customer for whom she was beginning a color treatment as well. I felt that she didn't find it convenient to complete the job as requested because of the time involved in the foiling and that she just wanted to collect the money and keep the customers in rotation. The highlights on the underside of my hair were less brassy; because they were foiled first and had the longest process time. The foils from the midpoint up were pulled off prematurely. As soon as I saw the result I panicked and reminded the stylist that I had explicitly asked for light ash blonde with no brassy color. She beckoned me to come into the light and allow her to dry it some, assuring me that the brassy look would be less dramatic after drying. It wasn't. She applied toner. There was some reduction in the brassiness but even this was a temporary fix and one that would not have been necessary had my highlighting been done with the right product and processing time. My hair still had a hue of brass- not at all what I'd asked for. Later, in my rear view mirror with the sunlight, my grey hairs were ever-present. As she rang in my charges, she cheerfully added that she, "wasn't even going to charge me for the toner." I thought that her remark was brazen, as she had applied toner to fix her own error. Her fellow stylists stood by at the register and remarked that it "looked nice. " Had the result been what I'd asked for, I might have agreed. I tipped her more than 25% (the cost was $190, tip $50) because I didn't want to be the talk of the salon for not tipping adequately after all of her time. I did my best to put on a smile, gave a polite thank you and hurried out because I could feel that I was upset and was afraid that I might embarrass myself before clearing the salon. The salon has a 1 week policy for return visits. Unfortunately, I simply didn't trust the stylist to do anything more with my hair. I visited another local salon. It was easiest for the stylist to start over with a color application close to my original color and add new highlights. This entire process was accomplished in half the time.The color correction and highlights were $25 less than Aniu's highlight charge and I had exactly the result that I was after; which proves that my request was perfectly attainable. When styling someone's hair, it is the stylist's job to listen to the client. Their job is to give the client what they want- not what the stylist feels is appropriate or convenient. If I had gone in with unrealistic expectations or requested a style that my hair wouldn't support, that would have been a different scenario. My stylist simply did not do what I asked. She did what she wanted to do. read more

I have been going to Salon Aniu since it opened! The salon is warm and welcoming. As soon as you walk in you are asked if you would like water, coffee, tea etc. The consultation was very helpful to help decide style, color selection, and aftercare/maintenance. I have had both Kerin and Nikki do my hair and I would recommend either for a cut or color! I went in with a picture I had found of balayage, and Kerin gave me exactly what we had discussed! I love the color area out back to hang out in while is processing. They provide drinks, snacks, magazines, and comfy chairs what more could you want! read more
