I came to Candela shortly after moving out of the city to North Andover... and am SO grateful I did! it was hard to leave the colorist I'd been seeing years but I just couldn't justify the long commute into Boston and back anymore. Fortunately, Lauren put me right at ease straight away -- it was clear from the time of our consultation that she was dedicated to making sure I'm super happy with my hair. And she definitely delivered! We talked at length about all my different options for achieving the high-dimension, low-maintenance blonde I wanted... including balayage, foils, root tap/shadow/melt, money piece, etc. and finally settled on a plan that would match the ook I was going for without damaging my hair too much. Lauren was honest with me from the get-go about what she did and didn't feel comfortable doing in terms of maintaining the integrity of my hair (we skipped bleaching the ends for that reason), which I really appreciated. From the moment she started painting to the toner and blowout/styling, it was clear that she *really* cares about her work, as well as the client's satisfaction. And I truly don't think the tone of my blonde has ever looked better! Not to mention, Lauren's sweet, friendly, accommodating presence makes for a really pleasant experience all around. Especially if you're looking for a "lived in blonde" that grows out softly and beautifully, I highly recommend her! 10/10 read more

I don't think I could find a better salon even if I tried. I have been to Candela twice now and I'm in love. Yesterday I had a full balyage and cut by Tiffany and my hair is absolutely gorgeous. She did a fantastic job and I am looking forward to going back. I guarantee they will make your hair look perfect. I was in the salon for 4 hours (I have a lot of hair) and not one did I feel rushed (I have been to other salons who get annoyed at how long it takes to do my hair and I feel like they are just trying to get it over with). Tiffany was incredibly sweet and personable. She does amazing work and is fun to talk to. I seriously couldn't be happier with my hair. Leaving the salon I felt confident and pretty. The salon itself was very clean and cozy with a relaxing atmosphere. They offered me drinks multiple times and brought me water, which shows that they really care about their clients and want to give you a good experience. I felt that the prices were reasonable especially for the excellent results. I couldn't recommend them enough read more

I've been coming to Jenny for about 6 months now, and have never received more compliments on my hair in my entire life. The pure talent and creative ability she has is on another level, and she always makes sure #hairgoals are achieved. I've come to appointments with a clear idea of what I wanted, and also have sat down in her chair with no clue what to do next with my hair. Either way, Jenny is happy to either make a picture come to life or provide you with her honest thoughts and suggestions. Jenny's fantastic talent has been spreading like wildfire around the area, so make sure you call for an appointment ASAP. She books far in advance, but trust me - it's worth it. read more

I've been going to Candela for a few years now and have nothing but great things to say. I had Jenny as my stylist and now see Lauren and both are amazing stylists. My recent color with Lauren came out gorgeous. The studio itself is conveniently located in DT Andover and is a beautiful space. The products they use are top notch and my hair always feels super healthy and fresh when I leave there. They are also taking really careful precautions to keep everything clean/safe right now. Highly recommend - especially for any blonding needs! read more

I am brand new to the area. I found this Saloon here on YELP. I had my first consultation today with Jenny. She asked me awesome questions and really listened! This was just a consultation. During the conversation she could see how badly I was in need of a color as my grey hair was coming through. So instead of sending me home and having me wait until my appointment she actually carved out time to do my roots so that I didn't leave the way I came in. During a discussion I mentioned how course my hair felt so she added a hydrating mask to my hair. OMG I feel amazing!!! I rebooked with her that day and can't wait to get the full treatment! Very impressed and my expectations are completely exceeded. read more

Absolutely love it here! The atmosphere is so relaxed, chic, clean and professional. Jenny is so welcoming and I got such a good vibe there. Absolutely love my hair. So happy I found this place! Highly recommend. read more

I love coming to Candela hair studio to get my balayage done! When I initially wanted to change up my hair and pursue a blonde balayage I did loads of research to find the best person to help me achieve the look I was going for. Jenny's work instantly caught my eye and I knew that I wouldn't be able to find anyone else who was as skilled in this technique! She was very kinda and accommodating and helped to transform my bright red dyed hair to the beautiful and delicate blonde mix that it is now. I couldn't be happier with the results and still am even though I came in months ago. Lauren is also incredibly sweet and I love having chats with her! I can't wait for the next time I get to come and get my hair done here! read more

I am so impressed by Jenny. Her attention to detail and the care she puts into each client is very refreshing. I've been searching for a new place as I recently moved to the area. This is the exact opposite of the places I've checked out. The decor is comforting and the energy is lovely. My hair is very coarse and dark. I sent her photos in advance (per her brilliant request) for inspiration. She totally got it. Looking forward to my next session! read more

I needed another haircut only 2 weeks after trying this place. Not sure what she was doing, but it was a mess. read more

I went to Jenny for the first time and I can't wait to be back! My hair was in desperate need of some TLC - I have been so embarrassed (brassy-orange ends) that I was putting it up in a ponytail or messy bun everyday. Prior to my appointment with Jenny, I met with her for a hair consultation so she could see what she was going to work with and I could show her my hair inspiration. It was difficult trying to make a hair appointment that worked for both me and her due to my work schedule, but she found a way to make it work... Thank God. The whole session took about five hours, but it honestly did not feel long at all. Jenny was very knowledgeable and you could tell that she is good at what she does. She was super nice and very easy to talk to, I felt like I was talking to a friend that I haven't seen in forever. Five hours in the chair was well worth it because the end results were amazing - Definitely recommend Jenny if you're looking for a new stylist! read more

I got balayage here (first time dying my hair) and it came out okay but was a little to warm/almost orange for my liking. I went back to get my balayage lightened a little because it was a too warm for my liking. Tiffany proceeded to give me what she thought I wanted even after I showed her a picture. My hair turned out with greyish/blue streaks as she was trying to attempted a more ashy look. I told her I didn't like the way it turned out at all so she brought me back to the sink and tried to counter act it. I was left with my head in the sink for 30 min while they attended to others. My hair is now multiple shades of orange/brassy, bleach blond, greyish blue, and my natural brown at the roots. I have never felt so heart broken leaving a hair appointment. read more

I was very disappointed after I got my hair colored here. I wanted to get a balayage to lighten the ends of my hair, but somehow left with highlights all the way to my root. I wish that was it, but it sadly wasn't. She kept the back of my hair in the foil too long, so now the back pieces of my hair are fully bleached and a totally different color from the rest of my hair. The owner wasn't very sympathetic which I talked with her. I definitely won't be going back. read more

I had an appointment with Tiffany, and she was AWESOME. Really listened to what I wanted and asked for. Very personable and made my hair look amazing. I am very rarely happy with haircuts and I am in love with my hair. read more

I used to get hair done prior to some medical problems that made sitting back in chair hard. For years I've done it myself but an upcoming wedding got me to go to a professional... Not only did Jenny and try to accommodate this without making me feel "difficult " she did a truly amazing job on my hair - while explaining the specific technical to a co-worker ( who kindly jumped in to help out) I now have pretty hair-hubs agrees!!. I'm amazed at her talent and kindness. I have promised myself to go back regularly. She knows her craft, how to give you what you want and fix problems you may not know you had until the beautiful results. The proof is in the pudding . read more

A good friend recommended Jenny to me and it is easily the happiest I've ever been with my hair. I am a natural red head and want to be ashy blonde, and it's hard to get someone who actually works to correct and keep your hair healthy while giving you what you want, and who gives you the actual cut you want. If you go to her Instagram you will see the work she does and that's really how it comes out every time. My hair is very healthy which isn't always the case with a platinum blonde. This is the happiest I've ever been with my hair and she does an incredible job every single time. The first time I got highlights with her she personally felt my hair had dried out more than she wanted, gave me way too much of a discount and she insisted I come in again free of charge. Meanwhile it was the best my hair has ever looked. She really stands by her work so she'll make sure it's what you want every time. I've been all over the place, mostly in Newburyport and this is by far the best outcome and experience I've had. read more

I was looking for a new hair salon near work and I found Candela on Yelp. I went for a consultation to discuss what I needed and then scheduled an appointment about a month later. It was hard to find an opening this time of year but Jenny was flexible and able to fit me in. Jenny is a master at what she does and I haven't been this happy with my highlights in a LONG time! The highlights are so finely done and blended that it looks completely natural. I also love the color - I'm used to either too yellow or too brightly bleached, but Jenny put a perfect icy blonde on that I love. She also trimmed my hair without reducing the overall length and gave me some great tips for growing it out. She did everything I wanted and more, I will definitely be going back to her! read more

This review will seem a bit biased (because it is) but the short of it is: Jenny is awesome! She has been cutting my hair for several years and I have followed her wherever she has been (I met her when I first lived in North Andover and come up from Charlestown, MA whenever my flow needs attention). She is kind, listens to what you're looking for, offers suggestions and has a keen eye for detail. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe it's just how she is, but I can text her and ask "Hey Jenny- do you by chance have any openings this weekend?" Often times she's booked (cause she's that good) but if she has any openings she'll let me know (actually she will even squeeze me in if she can. Maybe it's my good looks? My charm?) Anyways, if you're a guy and looking to get your haircut I would highly suggest seeing her. (Truth be told I actually referred my dad who had been going to the same barber, getting the same $12 haircut for ~25+ years. When he got home from seeing Jenny my mom said "he looks so handsome!"). Don't be intimidated by getting your haircut at a salon - if you do, you're missing out! read more

I've never been here before so I thought I would try it and turns out I LOVE IT! I love how small it is, it makes the experience all the better being able to feel comfortable and not like your being judged by others. Tiffany cut my hair and she did a fantastic job, she brought my hair back from the dead. She did exactly what I wanted nothing more nothing less the blow dry was spot on and she was super nice and welcoming. I will definitely come back to Tiffany read more

I highly recommend Candela Hair Studio! Lauren did my color and it came out beautiful!! I've had many hair stylists in the past do my blond and mess it up- either too gold, brassy, or they don't match up the root. I had been going to a different salon in Andover that charges an extra $55 for a blow dry, after any color service and was sick of getting ripped off (aside:their $55 blowouts were seriously not even good)...so I decided to take a chance on this salon and so glad I did! The color is beautiful, blowout great and still lasting a day later. Oh and Lauren also did a bang trim for me as well as eyebrow wax- and they both are looking great. She took her time with everything (not rushed like some other stylists) - including making sure she matched up my color, before she began. I think you won't regret going here! read more

I recently moved to the area and was searching for a hair salon. I found Candela online and am so happy I did. I knew by their Yelp page and website that they would get what I wanted - beautiful hair that looks healthy, natural, and full of life. Lauren cut and styled my hair - and she's the best! She listened to me, gave me exactly what I hoped for (even though I didn't know quite how to articulate it), and made me feel beautiful walking out. What more could you ask for in a salon? I can't recommend Candela or Lauren highly enough! read more

I had been searching for a hair stylist for quite some time (mine moved) when I came across Lauren on instagram. I had followed her for some time and loved the way she cut hair so I finally made an appoinment and omg I'm so happy I did!! She is the sweetest and will walk you through your hair cut and make sure it isnt too short. She did an amazing job on my hair. I got so many compliments. Make an appointment will Lauren, you definitely wont regret it! :) read more

They cancelled my appt with fewer than 3 hrs notice and didn't offer an alternate stylist or any other options. Extremely unprofessional. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Jenny Candela's salon in downtown Andover is a lovely little oasis of calm in a stressed out world. Jenny is an excellent stylist. She has been cutting, coloring and styling my hair or several years. It's exactly what I want. I found a photo in a magazine and she cut my hair in layers to match the look. So now, I have a style that requires very little time to maintain. I'm very satisfied with the look and she's matched my hair color expertly. She's an excellent stylist, very reliable and committed to customer service. Prices are reasonable, in my opinion. I highly recommend her. read more

Jenny Candela has been my hair stylist for over 5 years! She is reliable, prompt and my hair always looks perfect! Not only is Jenny a top notch stylist, she is a kind and sweet person, as well as accommodating to my busy schedule! You can't go wrong having Jenny style your hair, Andover is fortunate to have such a talented hair stylist in town! read more

I have known Jenny for at least 5 years and she is a true professional in every sense of the word! Her knowledge of hair coloring and her techniques and her stunning results are amazing. She recently gave me a hairstyle I've been wanting very badly badly for a long time but up until now nobody else has been able to master. Or maybe nobody else took the time to listen? I also want to add that Jenny is laid back and easy to work with, and will always be honest. Thank you Jenny!! Glad I found you!!! read more

I had an amazing experience getting my hair colored FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER with Jenny. Since I had never dyed my hair before I was pretty nervous but Jenny put me at ease very quickly. She was quick, professional and friendly throughout the whole process. I also was really happy I did my homework beforehand and emailed her about what I wanted and included a picture of my current hair and also an "inspiration picture" of what I was thinking of going for because we were able to start right away when I arrived for my appointment. I ended up getting a full bayalage and a trim and both turned out perfect. I got exactly the look I was going for and everyone so far (including me) is obsessed! I will definitely be returning for a touch up and color in the future! read more

Great experience here yesterday! I love that they have easy online booking. My appointment was with Tiffany and I took quite a few inches off my hair but didn't even flinch at the change because of how great it came out. I will definitely come back for a future appointment. read more

Jenny is a magician! She is extremely professional and her passion is demonstrated through her work. At the cutest salon in Andover, Jenny made me feel at home and transformed my hair into something I've always wanted. She listens to your visions and adds her expertise where required. The nicest host, and an even more perfect hair stylist/colorist. Thank you Jenny! read more
