This is a small, friendly, very personable hair salon. Most of the salons that I have been to in…read morethe past, there was always bickering and tension between the stylists. Its taken me quite a while to find a salon where the stylists are as friendly as family yet as talented as the trendy upscale salons in Boston that cost a fortune. I go to the stylist named Jessie. She's the youngest stylist - mid twenties and absolutely amazing at colors, cuts and blow dries. I have thick, course hair that she has the ability to turn into perfection. If I ever hit the lottery - I will beg her to be my live in hairdresser.

The color lasts for 4-6 months and she was extremely careful to find a great gf product, suggested a gorgeous color, plus she always double checks that her other products she uses on me are gf. I always get Tons of compliments! My sister's hair cuts are also great. I've also liked the cuts Ive gotten here and they also are sweet and kind and wonderful with my Mom. Great place. Caring and wonderful stylists. Just super!

When I walked in last week, my hair was in a state of winter despair, flat, tired, begging for a refresh. She assessed immediately and got to work. Ana, who is Angela's big sister is always, supportive, steady, creative and a wonderful asset. Together they welcome each client like family. I left with a new cut, color and the confidence to welcome spring. A Newbury St salon tucked on Rt 1, Saugus

I happen to have a Groupon and made an appointment to come in and get a wash, haircut and deep…read moreconditioner treatment (according to the Groupon.) I walked into a very warm and family-esque environment, sweet ladies, conversations back and forth, was really surprised that this place even existed. Its a hidden gem off the corner of Rt 1, not much to look at immediately, but a traditional mom and pop kinda salon feel when you walk in. I arrived early, my hair-dresser finished up a little late, was in no rush so I was completely understanding. She listened to my concerns about getting a trim, cutting the dead ends off. She decided it was easier to do this after washing and styling and doing a dry cut. I trusted her expertise and went ahead with it. The wash was a bit rushed, there was an odd smell from the sink area, though I imagine it was because of the hair-dye that was lingering in the salon (it's a small place.) She conditioned following the wash, I didn't get a deep conditioner treatment but didn't make a point to say anything out of courtesy. She followed up with taking me back to my seat and immediately started to tackle the blow-dry in my very thick long hair. She did style is beautifully, she cut some of the ends off, she suggested my hair was in rather decent shape and didn't need much. I accepted her opinion, she was very polite and kind, and she finished up and offered some nice suggestions on how to close up my split ends. I closed off my tab with the Groupon, gave her a $10 tip and went on my way. Overall, not a memorable experience, I felt the whole thing (minus the hair styling portion) was rushed, I didn't get the deep conditioner which would've really been nice for my thick hair, and lastly, I could've honestly had more trimmed off my hair. She said it didn't need much, but when I got home I saw and felt the straw ends that really should've just been cut off. I'm going to have to wait a little bit and get a proper cut to make sure the dead ends are off. They're all very nice people here, I imagine they're amazing at their craft in different areas, my experience isn't necessarily a reflection on poor service, more-so could've just been an off day or maybe just bad luck with my hair.

Making an appointment was quite easy after I'd described what I was looking for. When I arrived for my appointment, I was offered my choice of assorted coffees, teas & freshly baked goods. My jacket was hung & I was given a tour. The salon is quite lovely. Each time I've been there, the staff has always been friendly, thoughtful, patient, & helpful. They're a real team of skilled pros. After I've spoken w/Kelly or Elizabeth at length, they asked questions & made recommendations based on the shape of my head, texture of my hair, preferences, & other factors. They really took their time working w/me & /(the other clients, I noticed, many of whom I know). Then they brought me back to the soothingly dimly lit shampoo room. They played soft music & explained the products they were using before they began shampooing, thoughtfully checking my comfort level w/the water temp, etc. The bonus is that they give you a Wonderful head & neck massage while they're shampooing & conditioning! Next come the warm towels on the neck--ahhh! How luxurious! They cut & styled my hair, making light conversation w/me and the others in the salon. They gave me tips & guided me through every step of the way. I loved my hair & have gotten many compliments & inquiries. And, to boot, the prices were so reasonable. The stylist explained to me that their notes go directly into the computer, "so we can keep track of what we did step-by-step & the results. Then next time, we can either duplicate that or make adjustments." And, they all work together as a team, so if my regular stylist isn't available & I'm in a pinch, one of the others can pick up from there. They also help each other throughout the day. It's "A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon" & the owner, Catherine is also a National Educator for Paul Mitchell. All the stylists have ongoing education which translates into the latest techniques & styles! It's been quite a pleasant, satisfying experience each & every time, & they have a wide range of services that I'll be trying. I am so happy w/that I wish I'd come here sooner!! (--Would have saved me a lot of time, $$$, & aggravation). Parking is at the metered street level, so plan accordingly.

This salon is fantastic…read more I walked in there a few days before Christmas and was very happy to book an appointment with Kiley later that afternoon. I had heard a lot of wonderful things about this salon, and Kiley specifically, so I was SO happy to be able to book an appointment with her. She really listened to me when I described to her what I was looking for in a hair style and we agreed on a layered, angled bob. She did an amazing job. I LOVE it. The salon is beautiful. Kiley gave me a little tour of the place before I sat down to get my cut and I loved the design. It was very warm and comforting to be there. The staff all seem really happy to be working there and working with each other. It really instilled confidence in me as a client knowing that the stylists are happy to be working there. After Christmas I went back for color and again, Kiley did a fantastic job. I was so happy with the results. It was exactly what I wanted. I think that if you're looking for a new salon, I definitely recommend The Hair and Color Studio. They're a very busy salon, so definitely call for an appointment first. But I promise you that you'll be very happy with your hair when you leave.

Owner/Master Stylist Krysten is the best stylist I have ever had touch my hair and I am so…read moreincredibly picky. She previously worked at Anthony David Salon in Burlington....that's where I found her. She absolutely loves what she does and is a perfectionist. Krysten is the go to person for color correction AND does phenomenal Keratin treatments that won't break the bank. When I first moved to Burlington eight years ago, I went to one salon for Keratin, another salon for color and another for cuts. That's how picky I am. I did that for about two years until I found Krysten who does everything. She recently opened her own salon, Salon 47. The salon is small but clean clean and beautifully decorated. It is in the Salons by JC building which is in the Nordstrom Rack, Market Basket plaza. First time I went, I was thrown off by the Lexington address. You would think it is in Burlington but it is located right on the line. If you take my advice, plan on leaving the salon looking glamorous. Fabulous blow outs too!

Being a long time client of Paula's, I had the pleasure of my first appointment at her new location…read morein Saugus. She has been cutting, styling and coloring my hair for over 20 years and I've yet to ever be disappointed. She knows exactly what cuts and colors will look good on me, and her suggestions are always the most flattering. When she first starting doing my hair, I was only 13 years old, and it was very convenient that she was located in the same town I lived in. As I got older I moved about 30 minutes away and refused to look for a closer hair stylist. The travel for me was worth it. And her new location, though farther away for me has not deterred my insistence that she be the only one who touches my hair. It is very conveniently located only a few minutes away from her old locale. She has done everything from perms (when they were stylish) to adding gorgeous blonde streaks to my otherwise dark hair to cutting off over 10 inches into a fantastic bob. Every time I leave there, I feel fantastic. She styled my hair for my wedding and I'm still receiving compliments on gorgeous my hair looked on that day. Paula never rushes through a cut or style to get to her next client. She will step back and analyze her work so far and see if there's something she can do to make it even better. As for my appointment yesterday, it was my first trim in about 6 months, just a wash, cut and blow-dry. Nothing fancy, but when I left, I felt amazing. On my way home, I had to do some errands. Well, I received two compliments from an employee and customer at Whole Foods. As well as a "Wow, your hair is so beautiful!" from a random stranger in Target. Being a mom of two little ones, these kinds of compliments don't come often, and I knew it was a direct result of my trip to Paula. She is a talented hair stylist who takes the time to know her clients and their styles, and is always keeping up with the latest trends and learning new tricks of the trade.

I've been getting my hair done by her for at least 6 or 7 years and have never had a bad experience.

I highly recommend her to anyone that wants their hair done right and love the way it looks and feels. I posted a couple of pictures of my hair done by her today. She and Mae did an amazing job as always!
