She did a fantastic job and they're still looking great weeks later! If I lived in the area (I was visiting from out of state), I would DEFINITELY return. The salon was spacious and clean, and the owner was friendly and really listens to what her clients want. If you need any eyebrow or facial services, make sure you book an appointment with Akshi Beauty Salon!

Some people may read this and think I'm nuts. They've never had Taj do their hair. There were no surprises - Taj gave me another gorgeous haircut and blow out that even inspired unsolicited compliments from my normally oblivious brothers. My only regret was that I had to come in a busy day when she had plenty of time to give me a fabulous new look but not so much time to chit-chat -- I miss my Syrian mom!

HIP HIP HOORAY FOR TAJ MAHAL…read more The only person I would ever let touch my thick,curly and (sometimes) frizzy hair is Taj. I have been going to her for 26 years, starting when I was in my early 20's. Taj gives fabulous advice and her cuts/styles are impeccable. Always up on the latest trends Taj will let you know if a cut will work for you or not. When you walk into Taj's salon she and the staff, Donna and Sara, are very warm and inviting. Taj is like the sister I never had and I love her as one. I have moved from NY to CT and now in MA and I have never, ever given one thought to even trying to find another stylist. I don't have to. I've have plenty of bad ones while I was growing up. Something I truly admire about Taj is her caring about the environment and going green. Her organic products are the best and are priced reasonably. She does not try to push products on you but will recommend ones if asked. Do yourself a favor and go see Taj. Let her cut your hair just one time and I promise you will never go see anyone else.

Jan got me started on pedi & mani with diligent young lady- was great! By 1:12pm Jan was finally ready to cut my hair after shampooing, $15 eyebrow wax that she talked me into, & finally voila, a $55 10-min haircut with no layers nor shape. I asked for side bangs 3 times & each time was met with resistance. "I don't want to cut too short" I gave up after the third ask. Conversation was also intrusive - where do you live? What's your job? What's your ethnicity? This is supposed to be a relaxing experience, not an interrogation. Total bill $145. Will not be going back for sure.

Hormonal acne, during my pregnancy and now postpartum. When I started seeing her, my goal was to control and improve my acne. I have exceeded that goal and am now confidently rocking my skin makeup-free. Her knowledge of skin and how to care for it is extensive. She analyzes your skin and gives an in-depth recommendation on a home routine. She is judgment-free when I'm not consistent with my routine and helps me get back on track. She is worth every penny. With consistency, you will see improvement and enjoy every visit, as she is not only an amazing esthetician but also an even better human being.

Before I even arrived, she texted me the morning of with the office address how to get there and wish me safe travels. Once I was there, the space was incredibly clean light and airy, and she proved to be super knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. The appointment never felt rushed even though there was someone scheduled for right after me. She analyzed all my products that I brought & told me why certain ingredients should not be used. She then put the good ones in one pile the 'not so good' ones in another- I threw the 'not so good' ones out immediately and had no qualms about doing so by the end of our appointment together. Katerina got a sense of what my routines were (or weren't) and gave me some helpful suggestions that have since become staples in my routine and my skin is significantly better. I would certainly go back the next time I'm passing through the Albany, New York area.
