She is, by far, the most precise in her haircuts than any other stylist I've had experience with. She can (and currently is) take a hair from a modern pixie cut to an a-symmetrical bob without any "awkward" stages in between. As a client-I look for a salon that always invests in its stylists. Marisa's salon frequently partakes in different workshops/classes and they are always excited to try new tricks on clients. I also want to add that Bianca is a tremendously talented eyebrow artists. In addition to doing funky colors as a stylist, she gave me the perfect brow arch and will have me as a brow client for life! Salon is a super easy drive from Boston too! Again-I highly recommend this wonderful place!

I told her I just wanted my two eyebrows to look the same as one another. She knew what few hairs to remove to make that happen. I could not have asked for a better result.

Although this facial was a 4.5, it definitely deserves to be rounded up than down. I have never had…read morea facial before so this was my first "treat yo-self" moment for the new year. I went in, not knowing really what to expect. The studio space is actually beautifully decorated soft couches and nice wall art. I had booked basic facial with Diane, but she recommended a ultrasonic facial (I believe) so I went with that. First she started me off with a face mask made from pomegranate, and it was 100% my favorite part. It smelled AMAZING and couldn't get over how it filled the room with this amazing aroma. It started to tingle my face but she said it meant that it was lifting the dead skin away. Neat! So on to the actual facial which used an ultrasonic machine, it was the coolest feeling. She didn't explain too too much but honestly I was fine with not talking. It was relaxing but I was skeptical. I mean, how is this going to make my skin feel soft? Towards the end she rubbed parts of my face, which I wish she did longer of. It was so nice and relaxing I would've preferred more of that. At the end, I touched my face and actually couldn't stop. It was so soft and my skin seemed so bright. I could've believe it was my skin!! The only gripes I had with the facial was my chin area. When I looked in the mirror I could actually see some blemishes sticking out since my skin was so clear. I wish she had manually extracted them so I could get the full effect. I also still had some stuff on the sides of my face from the facial. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to try out a lowly facial, especially if you grab the group on deal. I bought it for $45 dollars and the facial was valued at $110. Make sure to tip appropriately!!!

First let me mention that the salon is beautiful and carries only the best products ever - Oribe. They have a free parking lot, which is convenient for drivers like myself. I also really like how they have a tea/coffee/wine bar. Over the past year Kathy has given me the best hair! She is my go-to hair stylist in the Boston area and I'm so happy we found each other! Here's why Kathy is the best in biz: She is meticulous when it comes to hair. Whether it be for cut, dye, or style Kathy has it under control. I love how she's always able to bring my lifeless hair back to life. I also appreciate how she doesn't go crazy with the scissors and gives my hair volume and dimension without chopping it all off. She's always able to nail the color I want. We're currently working on transitioning my dark brown hair to a light balayage for the summer and it's coming along beautifully. She's extremely professional and personable. Every time I see Kathy, she's super happy and holds great conversation. This makes the hours that I sit in the salon go by quick and very enjoyable. Not to mention she's stylish and stays on top of all the latest hair trends. She's seriously the best! You have to see Kathy for your hair.
