    Amanda's masterpiece
    Emily R.

    I'm back at it again to tell you that for the probably fifth or sixth time I've been here I loved my haircut by Amanda! She's just so good at what she does! It's a worry free experience every time. I can trust my hair with her. The place is clean, you know what you're getting, and for a simple trim like what I get it doesn't take very long. I've tried other salons in the area to save myself a few extra bucks...not worth it. I really appreciate Amanda always taking off just what I ask her. No more, no less.

    Thank you, Sam!!

    Last week I visited my brother in Boston, and while I was there I decided to get a spontaneous haircut! My sister-in-law is a regular here and highly recommended this salon. I walked in, described that I wanted a trim with an undercut, and recommended to get an appointment with Sam for later on the same day. (And as a tip, if you have a referral, you get 50% off your first services! I didn't have a card on me, but the really friendly receptionist made an exception! I appreciated that, especially because they knew that I was not a local and would not be likely to return anytime soon -- although I wish I could!) The customer service here is so great. The premises themselves are beautiful, and as I was waiting (not even for five minutes!) for the stylist, I was offered water, tea, or even wine. Sam was absolutely fabulous as well. I was pretty excited about the undercut, but nervous too, and she took the time to check with me before moving forward with shaving half of my hair off! She also gave some great hair care advice. Thank you for my new beautiful hair!

    I have been a client of Kent for 15 years -- first when he was at James Joseph (Newbury Street), then at Mario Russo Salon/Louis Boston (Newbury Street) -- http://stuffboston.com/stuffboston/archive/2009/05/04/roots.aspx. He has always been engaged, attentive to detail, very creative and most accommodating. In a profile a number of years ago, W (Magazine) noted that Kent was stylist to many of Boston's "elite." He's also known for serving Boston's local television talent, such as WHDH anchor Frances Rivera, WBZ-TV reporter Beth Germano, FOX weekend anchor Sarah Underwood, and long-time entertainment reporter Sara Edwards. As Daily Candy -- http://www.dailycandy.com/boston/article/42028/Gravitys+Rainbow -- recently noted (March 3, 2009): "[t]he loft-like space soothes with chic, minimal decor. Crystal chandeliers, sheer curtains, and sleek seating combine to create an irresistible mod-meets-glam energy." The salon is located on Washington Street in Boston's South End within walking distance of many of the city's finest restaurants, boutique shops and art galleries. It's Newbury Street quality and service -- available in Boston's hottest new neighborhood. Disclaimer: Over the years of being a client I have become a friend of Kent. Nonetheless, I stand behind my review of the quality of his work and that of the growing cadre of fellow stylists/employees joining his new salon.

    Dana at Kent Newton Salon is amazing! I was looking for a reputable stylist for about 4 weeks. I had been going to a stylist that had been used to for a long time but was looking for a more relaxing and professional atmosphere. I stumbled upon Dana's reviews via Yelp and called the KNS for an appt. The salon is eclectic, modern and very professional. The staff are helpful and knowledgable. Dana is a great listener and knew exactly how to get rid of my brassy, fried hair after I told him what I was looking for. I felt pampered throughout. It was a great experience. I highly recommend this salon. Ask for Dana!

    Taylor is amazing - top left corner is before, right top is after. A year later is bottom - she is a magician.

    I have come to en.SALON for haircuts in the past with both Nao and Kiyomi (both are wonderful…read morestylists), but recently came in to take advantage of the special deal for the Head Spa Scalp Treatment with their new junior stylist, Danato. Danato took his time in explaining the entire process to me before starting the treatment, which included multiple cleansing washes accompanied by steam throughout. He finished the treatment off with a bouncy blowout. I have thick and coarse caucasian/asian hair, and he was incredibly patient and enthusiastic in creating the look that I wanted. The whole experience was relaxing and pleasant from start to finish. Danato was very attentive, polite and detail-oriented. I would highly recommend him for a hair spa treatment or blowout!

    probably one of the worst haircuts I have gotten I would really like to post a better review.. I…read morewas super excited to come in and get my haircut. Honestly, it's probably two part in what I asked for and booking an apprentice stylist. Wanted long curtain bangs and long layers, cut to just below the collar bone. Got a long bob with, albeit, layers... some of the bangs cut dried and curl into my nose. Again, it's part bad ask and bad haircut. The stylist was working with me and tried to achieve what I was asking for, I just wish there was a bit more conversation about how to achieve what I want. Instead, I was impressed with how the stylist reiterated the hair cut back to me in bullet note like fashion, but it didn't initiate more conversation but instead felt like a: I'm telling you what I'm doing so if you dislike it in the end, it's your fault not mine. Giving 4 stars because I only had the stylist the one time! Don't knock this place until you try it, but this was my experience. I'm posting some reference pics along with my haircut. I hope that this review is taken as helpful criticism about conversing with clients. Wishing all the nest to en salon.

    This review is for haircut only…read more I was running errands yesterday (Mon, Nov 29th) and decided to stop in to see if Viselli had time for a haircut. The receptionist was really kind & accommodating and found a hairstylist (Jenn) that fit me in last minute. I absolutely loved Jenn, she was very professional and made me feel comfortable right away. I love my fresh haircut! The salon is super clean and covid protocols are in place which I appreciate very much. This was my first experience with the salon, but it won't be my last!

    I had a 25 minute virtual consultation. One of the things discussed was that I needed my grays…read morecovered. I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.
