The stylists are excellent, the pricing and lack of transparency on costs is concerning. I've been a long time client who has had excellent cuts and colors. A year ago or so the owner sent an email and embedded in the email was a disclosure clients would be paying for product (hair dye, etc). Eyeful is also an eco salon, wonderful, but clients pay a fee for that as well. A small color service cost me nearly $60 in product and nearly a $10 "eco" fee. They are constantly raising prices and promoting stylists to charge more. In 18 months it's been over a 50% increase for the same services between periodic service increases, stylist promotions creating another service increase and the product/eco fee which is quite substantial. I understand life is hard right now, but I don't know anyone whose salary has increased significantly, and with the state of the world most of us are fearful we won't have a job in the not so distant future. I'm going to have to take my business elsewhere. Luckily there are several salons in the area that will provide the same service for half the price and do not place the cost of product and sustainability on the clients. As a Lowell resident I want to support local, but when local is so out of touch with pricing compared to every other salon in a 5mi radius, I have no choice. I know eyeful provides a range of stylists to fit your "budget" but there are skilled stylists in area salons still coming in well below eyefuls price point that I don't have to sacrifice experience for a lower price. This was truly a sad review to write. read more

This salon is incredibly professional and accommodating. They graciously spent weeks helping me book an appointment that was catered to my specific needs and ever-changing schedule. I highly recommend Eyeful! 10/10. read more

Where to start i have been looking for a hair dresser since my move to FL 2 years ago. I have been to Eyeful Beauty 3 times within last yr and this one, can't complaint, the girls that did my hair the first 2 times they did amazing, but then I met Alejandro on Saturday August 2, and my expectations were met, he went above and beyond, that after he finish I looked at him and told him I found my hairdresser, he is great and very understanding of what I want it.. if you are looking for a hair dresser in the Lowell area, I will definitely recommend Alejandro, I am in love with how my hair came out.. thank you Alejandro you are the best.. read more

amazing spot. got a haircut there with Lisa and it was exactly what i wanted! the vibe and atmosphere are amazing and Lisa was so attentive to exactly what i wanted. I'll definitely be back! the price wasn't bad at all compared to other spots. so worth it!! read more

I paid $200 for a consult and perm. Not bad I thought. The consult was good. I came back a month later for the perm and the stylist had no memory of our prior consult, asked me all the same question, and was rude and insulting. But...I wanted a perm and she was teaching and her student was sweet and eager. so I stayed. Actual she was a good teacher...just bad at customer service. I asked multiple times...what should I buy to keep my perm, style my perm etc as I've never had one before and don't have any styling products at home. Even said I'd buy whatever she recommended. she said oh...just go home and play. you'll be fine. Well I waited the 3 days plus a little to be safe and then washed my hair....and guess what....the curl is gone from large chunks of my hair. Panicked I call and ask what happened. She says it's just your hair. Nothing can be done. She can't redo it. she didn't even offer a refund (not even partial). So I asked can I send you a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. Sure she says. Well that was close to an hour ago and we'll...I'm still waiting. Below are 2 pictures....1 from Saturday when I got home (with curls) and one today after shower and adding product, and scrunching (no curls). Moral don't go here unless you want to lose money and be treated rudel. FYI- stylist was Karen....she's been doing this for 20+ years read more

They may cancel or confirm your appointment without letting you know!!! They don't care you or your time! I love this place so much that I kept going back even though I moved to Boston. But recently it really upsets me. I booked an appointment on online through it's booking system two weeks ago. And two days ago, I received a message told me mute appointment is canceled. Three hours later, someone from front desk called me. She: Your appointment is canceled, but we have an opening on Friday, do you want to come? Me: I cannot make it on Friday. I only can go there on Saturday because I live far away from there. Why my appointment is canceled? She: became she is already overbooked at that day. It is before holiday so she is busy. Me: ??? I was able to make an appointment online. She: Your appointment is bang trim but Nikki thinks you don't have a bang. Me: I do, and I only need a bang trim. She: But Nikki is not the person who cut your Bang, she is not able to trim it. Me: ok. I would appreciate more if you can tell me earlier instead two days ahead. As you know it's holiday season and everyone is busy. If you tell me earlier, I could find someone else to do the bang trim. She: you just made the appointment a few days ago. Me: Two weeks ahead. She: ok. I will put you on cancellation list. Then she hang up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I decided not go there any more. Somehow, I received a text again telling me my appointment is confirmed???? I didn't respond since it's so ridiculous. Today, I received the text again!!!!! I called the place back three times immediately, the first one was hanged up. Second was picked up and hanged up again. This really upset me. Whoever wants to have a haircut before a special occasion should trust the communication system here! read more

Karen did a horrible job with my haircut. She was very insensitive and laughed at my hair goals. I still tipped her nonetheless but honestly, please learn about quality service and care. I asked for a specific haircut and she flat out said "what does that even mean?" (I asked for long layers and blunt ends) I spent way too much money for someone to not listen to what I want and laugh in my face. I won't be going back. Such a disappointment to my very first visit with Kaeleigh. She was amazing. read more

Very classy salon, was able to get a same day appointment when I called. When I entered I was asked if I wanted anything to drink and they took my coat for me. I was unfamiliar with the salon because I'm just in the area for college and not from around Lowell. I ended up with a fantastic haircut but the price shocked me. Online it said haircuts were $35+ but my total ended up being $65 before the tip... (I was expecting it to be around $50 before tip). My hair was just past my shoulders and I only got a few inches off and the front pieces slightly shorter, nothing crazy. For me, this price was ridiculous, and of course being courteousness tipping 20% afterwards did not help my wallet. Yes it was a good haircut, but you can get just as good somewhere else for cheaper. (I've gotten as low as $15 before and had an excellent haircut). I would probably not go back even though I did enjoy the experience. read more

Worse place to bring your children for any type of service. they charge adult prices and give horrid uneven cuts, they have very little care of their clientele who they can't try and hit on for a date, so obviously kids are what they hate. I contacted salon owner to see about fixing the cut and was told we are not their type of people ... funny my green cash was their type the day before! Wish I could post pictures here but can't, so you can see my wonderful 3 year olds DRUNKEN hair cut on their Facebook review! Your stylist was shown this picture at start of EACH 3 visits first 2 he was fidgety but decent cut this time he was calm and quiet watching movie on phone. How were my expectations not clear? How was his quietly watching movie on iPhone so difficult for your stylist to work around? Maybe owning he got a crappy cut and offering to fix? No you refused when I asked! How about apologize? Or not charging me for this lawnmower haircut! I want everyone to see you try to shame and blame a 3 year old! Again he was more difficult 2 other times but got a good cut this time he's calm and she butchered it! And Meghan you were so disrespectful to me on the phone! Horrific management skills. I simply called looking to get it fixed and you treated us like we are homeless vagrants trying to book a room at the Hilton ! "We aren't your type of clientele" read more

Took my 3 year old grandson for a haircut. My daughter in law was extremely disappointed with his haircut. Called them to ask if they can fix his hair and they refused. They said the children were difficult and they were not their type of people. Now mind you...I did hairdressing for nearly 20 years and I would never tell a client they were not my type of people. My grandson sat on my lap during the haircut and was not difficult at all. I've attached a picture of my grandson and if she hadn't put product in his hair before we left...I would have asked her to fix it. Do not go here unless you want a bad haircut and pay all the money too read more

Really cool/edgy but modern atmosphere and was immediately asked if I wanted any wine or water to drink and asked if I needed my coat hung up. My stylist was Julia and she was awesome and did exactly what I asked her to do! She had an edgy style to her so I knew immediately she would get me and she was really fun to talk to the entire time! Love that it's a woman owned business with only women working there, which made me feel really comfortable and in general is just awesome. Will definitely be going back! read more

I've always gotten a good haircut at Eyeful. Now I appreciate that during my three visits since March of this year, they seem to be taking the pandemic requirements seriously. At least, I have never seen anyone inside without a mask, which is the most important precaution. Sadly, this is one of the few Greater Lowell businesses I could say this about. read more

Karen is the best! 26 years with wild and curly hair that no one knew what to do with - I've seen her twice now and it's been literally the only two times I've ever liked my hair immediately after a cut. The salon's environment is great too, very friendly and homey. Highly highly recommend! read more

I went here a few times but the last time will be the last.. I had to come back twice to fix the color. I asked for beachy blonde and left many shades darker than when i walked in. I hated getting so overly processed but i hated the dark color so much i just went and did it hoping for the best. It caused a lot of damage/breakage. And they are very very pricey. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

It's been nearly 6 months since I've had so much as a trim on my long, really unkempt hair. I decided I'd get my hair cut and found Eyeful Beauty through a yelp search of places near my house. I loved the look of the place online and the prices seemed very reasonable. When I got there today for my appointment, the staff was kind and friendly. I only waited a few minutes and Meghan got to me. We talked for a few minutes about what type of hair cut I was looking for. She listened and then gave me a wonderful haircut. She took her time to get to know what I usually do with my hair. I felt very comfortable during the entire hair styling experience and we had a nice conversation while she worked. The salon was very clean and neat, they offer only vegan hair products and they even have a very friendly, cute cat that wanders about. I made my next appointment while I was there and plan on making Eyeful Beauty my new salon. read more

So I'm updating my review after my first keratin treatment... I had it done in the spring (early May) and I finally felt the need to come back today for the next treatment. I could have gone a couple more weeks, honestly. I've been following Meg's recommendations (washing and conditioning with the proper products) and the first keratin lasted for almost five months. Even with the texture of my hair (I have very porous hair with a tight curl pattern) my hair was still soft and super manageable after many months. I don't usually flat iron it anymore (unless I let it air-dry), I'm good with a decent blow dry. I end up spending less than an hour washing, conditioning, drying and styling. This is a huge time savings for me. And my hair is healthier because I'm ultimately using less heat and that's huge. Having ethnic (black) hair sometimes it took more than 2 hours, (sometimes three) to do my hair depending on what I wanted to do. So today I went back for my second treatment. I'm still a happy camper and will keep coming back. After the second treatment, my hair feels even more healthy than before and is in much better shape now that the old chemical relaxer I was using before the keratin is growing out. I'm not straightening it with harsh chemical relaxers ever again. I'm sticking with keratin. read more

I've been coming here for years and realized I have never wrote a yelp review! My stylist is meg but I have had shayla cut my hair a few times if Meg was busy. They do an AMAZING job. Always cut my hair exactly how I want. And believe me I have high standards for my hair and how I want it. (I w Always want something new). Originally this place caught my eye walking by it. It looks like a place to get an edgy haircut. I definitely wont go anywhere else now. Everyone is so friendly especially the receptionist Josh. We talk all the time before I get my haircut. Makes you feel like your not even waiting. All in all probably one of the best salons in the area! read more

The staff is very professional and the space is astonishingly clean. The haircuts are always on point and the beard trims I've had are way better than I've ever done myself. It's a trendy spot that offers free coffee, tea, beer, or wine while you are having your service done. Highly recommended. read more

Great place; I went there on a whim, got a really good looking haircut and have been going back ever since. Friendly staff, cool decor, great haircut and a good deal. My wife was impressed enough by the quality of my haircuts that she recently tried Eyeful out for herself. She is far more fashionable than me and had been going all the way to Harvard Square for for her hair but after one visit to Eyeful she is a convert... she loved the place and the results. read more

About a year ago I was working in Lowell, and decided to look for a place to get my hair done close to work. I stumbled upon Eyeful Beauty and have been going ever since. I have a double process highlight, but it's always been quick enough, and the staff is so friendly. Nicole's been doing my cut and highlights for a year now, and even though I've moved out of the area, I still commute down to Lowell to get my hair done. If you're a spontaneous person like me, it's also a great salon to be a regular at. To make my appointments I can just text Nicole, and she has her schedule right on her phone whether she's at the salon or not. I've pestered her with on the whim 3 am texts, and gotten my hair done the next day. They've recently gone back to having a different artist's work up in the salon with the majority of the items for sale. There's always some very interesting pieces. It's very clean, and the decor is awesome, from the retro Eyeful pin-up magazines that adorns the reception desk, to the parking ticket table, it's all pretty sweet. It has all the great things of a high-end , trendy, fashion salon, without the pretense. read more

As a guy, I've found it difficult to walk into a shop and get anything other than your standard "boy cut". That was until I visited Eyeful Beauty in Lowell. Seriously, I hate going to a barber shop or a great cuts and getting that standard cut with no thought, but these girls are creative, willing to take risks, and I've never been displeased with anything they've done. Shelley has been doing my cuts for a while and she's rocks. She's works great, is always open for an appointment, hilarious, and makes me as a guy feel comfortable walking into a salon...which would scare most dudes away. Cuts, washes, and styling aside, walking in you'll notice this place feels super high end, but it also has an attitude... and they've got some interesting art pieces from local artists up on the wall. I always recommend this place to my friends, parking is easy, they can always squeeze you in for an appointment, and most importantly it's totally affordable! So check it out, say hey to the cat that hangs around the shop, and if you can't get Shelley...no worries, the entire staff is excellent. read more

My awesome boyfriend had been telling me how great the girls at EYEFUL Beauty are. He had been very happy with getting his hair cut by Megs and told me to give her a try. I have short, curly, colored hair and she foiled, colored and trimmed it as if she had been my stylist for years! She listened to what I wanted and I walked out a very happy girl! All of the staff there are friendly and welcoming and the salon itself is adorable and convenient to get to! The prices are totally reasonable and they also carry great products. I even went back and brought my little girl there, and Shelley put some funky and fun colored hair extensions in for her! I HIGHLY recommend EYEFUL Beauty! read more

I have never had the same person cut my hair twice. It's not that the stylists that I have seen have universally lacked talent (although some certainly have), but I'm a simple person with an uncomplicated style. As such, I've generally been of the opinion that a haircut is a haircut. Nikk Gauvreau at Eyeful Beauty has completely redefined my expectations. I was a little bit apprehensive walking into the salon - it is difficult to describe my previous haircut (which was NOT at Eyeful) without words like "trainwreck" "mauled" or "spoofed newscaster," and everyone in the establishment seemed, well, much more stylistically adventurous than I am. Nikk immediately put me at ease with her friendly, professional manner. Rather than jumping in blind, she took a few minutes to really nail down a clear idea of what I was looking for by showing me pictures and offering her own thoughts on what she felt would work well. Her strong background in sculpture and design are immediately apparent in her work, and I can honestly say that I have never been happier with a cut. The great price didn't hurt either. read more

I have been wanting to give Eyeful Beauty a try since its punk rock opening earlier in 2009. The salon has a fantastic vibe with affordable but quality hair services (haircut, color, extensions). Meghan the owner and chief creative behind the brand, is a spunky person with a talent for both cut and style. She is often involved with photo shoots, so she has a creative eye and knows how to get things done well. She is also quite busy with her wedding hair freelancing, so if you're looking for some punk rock or creative wedding hair, give her a try. I also want to give a shout out to the pink campaign they're doing. $10 donation gets you a streak of all-natural pink hair extension and goes toward breast cancer research/awareness. So if you're looking for a good cut, style, color, relaxer, or just general ambience from a salon in Lowell MA, Eyeful is the place for you! read more

Love having this place downtown! They're punctual with their appointments (which is nice - some salons end up way behind schedule); and the girls in there are all very nice. I've had my hair cut by Megs & had an up-do by Shelley. Although I haven't spoken much to Nicole, her clients seem to like her. Great ambiance and welcoming. The salon cat is usually floating around to greet you (he lives there). No style is out of the question and prices are average. I do love the military discount on cuts though! Can't beat it!!! Definitely recommended read more

Just moved to Lowell and found this place, really friendly staff, atmosphere is nice, price is reasonable! Haircut looks good too! read more

I see Kaeleigh, my hair is always perfect! I brought my daughter in to make an appointment and Rachel was able to take her for a color right away, which was so great. Her blonde came out beautiful. I highly, highly recommend this salon. Professional, talented, and well run! Cheers to continued success! read more

I was looking for a place to get my extensions done and decided to have Meg do them. They go in tomorrow and I'm so excited! She was very highly rated on yelp, thanks everyone! The two consultations went great. The salon has a great decor and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. One girl came in very late for her appointment and they didn't say anything to her other than welcome and fit her in to get her hair done. That's great service, read more

I got my ombré done here last summer. Overall, I am happy with it. There are some small inconsistencies with the color, but whatever... Can't expect perfection, I guess. I mean, I should when I paid $250 for it, but I'm not one to complain much. You can only tell when it's completely straightened... When it's curled, it's beautiful. The overall experience was good... But I could tell my hair stylist was a bit frustrated toward the end because of the length of time it was taking to dye my hair. I did let them know ahead of time that I have very long, very thick hair.. So, it should have been expected to take such a long time. Even I expected it. I had an appointment late in the day, so she shouldn't have scheduled someone after me, who came in... And sat and waited and eventually left because she was not done with me. She finished up after the shop "closed". I felt bad about it. Like a nuisance, even. I want to go back for a trim or more color but I am hesitant, honestly. read more

I looooove this place! The vibe is awesome, the stylists know their stuff, and the owner is really in tune with what makes a great salon. Food and drink are offered to clients, the stations are all clean with a super funky design that was made by the owner, and I was comfortable at every step of my single process and hair cut. And the most important piece: Karen made me look like a rock star! My hair came out amazing - best I've had in a loooong time. She even gave me a cap to keep my hair dry from the rainstorm. I booked my next two appointments already which says a lot for me! I can't wait to go back! read more

I prefer to get my hair cut someplace nice but as a guy I can't see spending salon prices for something that needs to happen about every month to 6 weeks. However I've been butchered in supercuts and the like so previously I have had to risk looking like a weedwacker accident or pay 40 plus tip or more for a cut. It takes a qualified stylist a half an hour to wash and cut my hair and eyeful understands that. My girlfriend gets a great hair cut and color at a price reasonable for her much lengthier process, and I get a hip look for a few bucks in half an hour or so. Can't beat it. read more

Kaeleigh is the best! I get great cuts every time I'm in. I also get my hair colored and she knocks it out of the park every. Single. Time. I get my hair blue or purple which can be difficult for a lot of salons. I've actually had issues at previous salons with consistency and actually giving me the color I want. Kaeleigh does an amazing job and it always looks great afterwards. I highly recommend any one of the stylists at Eyeful Beauty. read more

As a brand new client i got booked with Kaeleigh for a cut. She listened and we came up with what was best for my hair. Best haircut and color to date.I have met everyone on their staff and they are all extremely friendly. Unlike many other salons this one seemed to be all about teamwork, every stylist cared about every single customer in the salon not just their own. Very refreshing salon, I highly recommend it for any service! P.s. they offer full barber services for men too ! read more

I went in for a keratin treatment. I didn't like the service very much. Prior to going in for my appointment, I informed the stylist that I had very coarse, African hair. I was told that was fine. I bought a groupon from eyeful for $129 for the treatment. After the stylist washed my hair, the keratin was applied. I was sitting and waiting for a while, nothing was communicated to me. The stylist didn't do much communication. I had to ask why I was sitting for so long, moving from chair to chair, and how long the treatment was going to take. She told me another few hours because the keratin was taking longer due to the texture of my hair. I ordered dinner, the stylist went to pick it up for me. After I finished dinner, I waited another 40 minutes for the stylist. She sent someone else to rinse my hair. Before I knew it I had two stylists blow drying and pressing my hair. During that time, they both just felt so bothered with my hair. I felt that all the salon staff were feeling the same. At that point, I was the only client left and they seemed frustrated with my hair. My hair wasn't getting as straight as it should be so they kept pressing it over and over. Then one of the stylist placed the pressing iron to the highest degree possible. I asked why, she said the keratin is bonded with your hair through heat. BIG MISTAKE: one week after the treatment, about 20% of my hair fell off!!! Pros: I was offered a beverage when I walked in. The stylist picked up my dinner for me. Cons: Even while I was waiting, no one offered additional services to me. I really needed to get my eyebrows done and I wanted a hair cut. Had these services been offered to me while waiting, I would have purchased them. The stylist and I did not bond at all. She never really talked to me. I initiated a conversation with her several times, she gave one word answers. Her only instructions were to use a sulfate free shampoo and wait at least 48 hours to wash my hair. On my way out the door, I was not offered a business card. I reached for one that was on the counter and that's when she offered hers. I never received a phone call to check to see if I was pleased with the treatment. It's really too bad because their location and hours are convenient for me. I just moved to the area and was looking for a salon that I could go to often. The customer service I received showed that their services aren't design for someone like me. If you have African hair, this salon is not for you. read more

Scheduled an appointment for 4:00 p.m. by 4:30 still waiting which needles to say I promptly cancelled and will not be re scheduling.

I went to Eyeful Beauty in May right before my college graduation. (I'm looking for a new salon, so I just thought to write the review now.) I can't say I had a great experience. I have short hair, which is why I was drawn to Eyeful Beauty - the last place I went had no clue what to do with hair that didn't reach at least the shoulders. I wanted it shorter in the back and trimmed in the front (growing out a buzz cut can lead to some awkward pieces). While the stylist (I cannot remember her name, I'm afraid) did an okay job, it wasn't spectacular. The thing that really got to me about the cut was the side pieces against my cheeks. She asked if I wanted them cut at a point or straight across. I said it didn't matter so long as they didn't stick out when I wore my glasses. She cut them, I put my glasses on at the end of the appointment - no problem. What I realized when I got home was that she cut the left side at a point and the right side straight across. When I said it didn't matter, that didn't mean that they shouldn't match! I decided it wasn't worth driving back to Lowell to fix it - it wasn't wicked obvious when my glasses were on, so I just let them grow. The salon looked nice and clean, which is always a huge plus, but the stylist wasn't very personable. I don't love super-chatty stylists (or super-chatty people in general) but we barely talked, and any conversation I attempted would awkwardly die off after a few exchanges. All in all, not the worst experience I've had (that title belongs to the salon I mentioned above that couldn't handle short hair), but I have no intentions of returning. read more
