I have been to many of the "best" well-known salons on Newbury St. I've always left unhappy with darker hair, ashy, muddy, etc.. it went on for so long. I was even told that your hair changes every seven years and my hair just can't get light again. These colors made me look so washed out. I hated it. I ended up going to a salon in Needham. She refused to put collar on it except for my roots. She lightened my roots and then put a toner on it. She turned my hair medium brown. I was horrified! She washed it out, put another toner on. This was a color I had never seen! I had a combination of orange and the other parts were brownish ash and greenish! I was totally freaked! And I have an event coming up this weekend. I read some reviews never thinking I would get in to anyone last minute. Lynda answered and was nice enough able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. Walking in with multicolored hair, and being told my hair can't be blonde again, I could just tell that she was going to be good. I hit the jackpot with Lynda! I'm blonde, my hair looks healthy, she gives a phenomenal blowout, and I will never go to anyone else again. Lynda is extremely knowledgeable and unbelievably talented! For the first time in so long not only was a blonde, but when I looked in the mirror I liked what I saw and I really hadn't for such a long time. Lynda' is by far the best most talented colorist in Boston! I can't tell you how glad I am to have found her.

Lynda was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 would go back again. Thank you!read more

Continue reading for more details ----- Ambience/Atmosphere: A+ Cleanliness: A+ Customer Service:A+ Overall Rating: A+ Ambience/Cleanliness Studio 27 "downsized" to being just Blessing and her husband and it was a BRILLIANT move. The salon is a gorgeous open concept set up with Blessing being the only stylist it there is plenty of room. It is also gorgeously decorated, it's not just a hole in the wall shop...they clearly took a lot of pride in picking out the color and decor of this salon. Customer Service Making an appointment online is super easy and Shawn (the receptionist) is friendly and always willing to answer questions and concerns. Blessing is super friendly and professional. When I get my hair done I love having a stylist I can chat but, I also want my hair to be done in a timely fashion and Blessing finds a good balance of keeping it moving but also but also making her clients feel pampered and not rushed. Overall ratiing This is a great salon! Like I said, Blessing keeps things moving! Your appointment starts right on time and you'll feel comfortable while in the salon. I couldn't ask for more in hair salon.

I was in and out in about 2 hours and some change--that's with a relaxer and a hydration treatment. Don't skip on the hydration. It's worth it.

I love the professionalism and ease of appointment bookings.

I called extrology…read moreand they were so flexible with my schedule and were able to accommodate me without hesitation. I arrived and they greeted me warmly and introduced me to Alison who would be styling me. She asked for my input on how I wanted my hair to look and she executed perfectly! She even offered to curl it after she blowed it out, and after I mentioned my hair usually doesn't hold curls well, she made sure to add the right type/ amount of product to make sure they would hold throughout the wedding while still having a natural, lightweight feel. And that's exactly what happened! I will definitely return for any future styling needs, thank you!

I was ready for a change, especially leading up to my wedding in the fall. I did a ton of research online before choosing Extology. When I arrived, I met Alec at the front desk, who is super nice and helpful. I met Kriscia during the initial consultation where she explained EVERYTHING! She answered my many questions, often demonstrating how to do something on her own hair to make sure that I understood. Because I was a first-time client, she did the color in a separate session before the extensions so she could see how the color looked in my hair to make sure the extensions she was going to order matched perfectly. Even after JUST the color, my hair looked great. The next session was for the extensions and cut. It takes quite a while to do the extensions, but I was able to get work done on my laptop (they gave me a lap desk to use) during some of the time. Kriscia is amazing about explaining things and setting expectations, double checking that I understood how much she was cutting off the length and things like that. Hair extensions require more work to take care of, and Kriscia explained all the details on how to do that. At the end, my hair looked absolutely amazing! It looks completely natural and beautiful! My fiancé was so impressed. The next day I had an appointment with my wedding make-up artist and my wedding hair stylist (two separate appointments). Both of these women (who are in the beauty industry) said my extensions were the best they had seen!

I've…read morebeen traveling for several months and really needed a full set of highlights and cut on my stop in Boston. After scanning previous reviews, I made an appointment with Olti. He put so much attention into my hair, specific issues, how it had been colored in the past, and I ended up with what I think is the best color I've ever had! My 20 year old daughter was with me and she agreed. Really beautiful highlights, toner, and treatment for my damaged hair. The cut was equally great. It's always nerve wracking to find a hair stylist in a new city and trust that it's going to work out ok, but Olti absolutely exceeded what I thought I might be able to find. Plus, he is a super chill and kind person to hang out and talk with. Ralphie the Frenchie who hangs in the shop was an added bonus. Definitely recommend making an appointment here. You won't regret it!
