Not happy with how my highlights came out. I just wanted basic highlights on my dark blonde hair,…read morebeen getting them for many years, 2-3x a year. I had booked an appointment for a full foil. I was early and the stylist was late. She told me I didn't need a full foil, so we did a partial foil instead. Unfortunately it didn't come out well. First, the whole foiled section is much lighter than the back/bottom portion of my hair (so really I did need a full foil and should've pushed back on that?). I have never had such a stark contrast between the foiled and unfoiled portions... it looks pretty bad when my hair is up, and as a mom, that is basically all the time. Second, some of the highlights themselves are uneven, being super bright (almost white) closest to my roots in a few spots. Never had this happen before, either. I tried to schedule a correction, but they said I would have to pay to get the bottom foiled as that wouldn't count as a correction. Fair enough per the technical definition... but my hair just doesn't look good overall and that would be the only clear fix from my perspective, since you can't darken bleached hair. Oh well. That was a huge expense. I definitely will not return. Haircut was fine! Though they did also blow it out some after I specifically said I didn't want it (for my schedule and for sensory reasons).

I have to rave about the best salon and stylists in the Boston area--La Beautique Salon has been a…read moretotal game-changer for my hair. Every stylist here is incredibly talented, but Courtney has been doing my color for the past couple of years, and I couldn't be happier! Not since I lived in Santa Monica, when Kristin Ess was my stylist (just before she became a household name), has anyone gotten my color so perfectly right. Before finding La Beautique, I tried at least six other salons without success. This place truly stands out--not just because of the amazing talent but also because of the atmosphere. The salon is absolutely beautiful, and the owner, Dominique, creates such a warm, welcoming vibe. Her kindness and vision set the tone for an experience that makes you feel happy and cared for every time you visit. If you're searching for the best hair color and stylists in the Newton, Watertown, or greater Boston area, look no further. Trust me--just go. You won't regret it!

My mom got married the day after Thanksgiving, and we were worried about finding a hair and makeup stylist who would be available that day. Luckily, we found Marina and she gave us the most perfect, relaxing day. Everyone in the bridal party wanted a different look (glam, 1920s, classic, etc.) and the bride wanted to go very natural. Marina was so accommodating to what everyone was looking for and made us all feel beautiful. She spent the entire day with us and helped us plan out the schedule so that everything went exactly as planned and on time. The makeup and hair styles looked great all night long and, most importantly, my mom had an incredibly special day. Thank you Marina for being such an important part of it!

I've been a blonde my whole life but its started to darken as I've gotten farther into my 20's. When I read Marina's reviews she sounded almost too good to be true. I called and left her a message about what I needed and what kind of hair I had and she called back within the hour. Not only was she extremely kind over the phone but she really seemed to understand what I needed and I set up an appointment with her as soon as possible. About a week later she was in my kitchen drinking coffee and doing my hair. It was like having a cool older sister I never knew existed! We chatted and laughed the entire time she was coloring my hair. When it was time to wash my color out she brought me over to the sink. I was surprised that a stylist could really put that much time and compassion into something as simple as washing my hair. Afterwards she gave me a blowdry and styled my hair and I kid you not I felt like Marilyn Monroe by the end of it. Suffice to say I'll be booking Marina every few months from now on. 10/10 would suggest Follow my blog for more adventures! https://gronbergerandfries.wordpress.com/

She captured exactly what I wanted and surprised me with her creativity in hair styling too. She took a great number of pics to share with me and asked me to think about the makeup style, types of eyelashes, etc. She could adjust anything to my taste as she is very versatile and professional in different kinds of makeup/hair styles. In the end, I decided to go with a more glamourous look with a bit more focus on. Before the wedding, Yin coordinated with me and my planner on the game plan to streamline everything and they arrived right on time to set up the makeup station and the hair station for both to go smoothly. I was really happy with my bridal look/hair (glamorous but still me) and it made me feel like a princess for my big day. The makeup stayed fresh and beautiful throughout the day and she gave me a little bit of lip color for touch-up in case it wore off. My bridesmaids and the two moms had a wonderful time with her and her team too to get pampered and dolled up! Thank you for making my wedding day so special.

From the moment I contacted Ligia she was very helpful and responsive. I went in for a trial and due to the fact that she wasn't totally happy with the results of my first trial she invited me back for a second trial to ensure I looked flawless on my big day! Ligia takes her job very seriously and is meticulous about every detail. Prior to the wedding Ligia provided me with some helpful hints on what would help me prepare my face to look its best. She did the make up for myself and 4 other women all of varying ages and skin tones and she made all of us look gorgeous and the best part was it felt amazing. I am not one that wears a lot of makeup regularly and neither are the other but the airbrush make up is awesome, it felt great and stayed put all day & night! I also opted for the false lashes and I LOVED how they looked! On top of her skills Ligia is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, from the trial to my wedding day it was so easy communicating with her and she is just so easy to be around, she just fit right in on the day of the wedding and did a phenomenal job at getting me and my ladies photo ready!
