Really love this salon and the stylists! Going on several recommendations, I called the Hair and…read moreColor Studio on Main St in downtown Gloucester. 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.

Visit #1: I bought a Groupon, which is what brought me into…read moreSalon De Ja Vu for the first time. My African American hair was previously highlighted dark brown and red and was past my shoulders in length. I wanted a shorter style and a complete color overhaul. I showed Gina a picture of jet black hair with subtle electric blue highlights underneath and asked her to work her magic. I was a little nervous that my difficult hair would make the task impossible, that it would come out the wrong color blue, perhaps green, or wouldn't be the bright, edgy blue that I desired. Gina highlighted my hair, put in the jet black dye to get rid of my previous highlights (while avoiding the new highlights - talk about tricky!), then washed it all out before applying the blue to the highlighted pieces. There was no need for nerves because Gina truly understands how to achieve color perfection and does so masterfully. Needless to say, she did a fantastic job and I was thrilled with the beautiful results. I loved it so much that when I went back again months later, I asked for more blue and an even shorter bob. Visit #2: First, Sharon washed and conditioned my super curly hair. Then, Gina took the time to section off the oh-so-many pieces for the full foils required to lift my unruly black hair to blonde .. and I have A LOT of hair. She then cut my curly locks and applied the blue dye. After several washes (thanks Sharon!!), my hair was dried and flat ironed to get a better look at the final color and style. LOVED the color, but I wanted some adjustments on the cut. Any girl with curls knows that a cut can look quite different after straightening and Gina's no stranger to this reality. She meticulously shaped the style I wanted, giving it movement and dimension. Bottom line, Gina puts her clients first, LISTENS to their needs, and delivers. She's realistic about what's possible, is honest about what's required to achieve results, and does consistent, exceptional work. Gina has great attention to detail and really cares about whether her client is pleased. (Did I mention she gave me a second cut, no questions asked, just to make sure I was happy with it before I left?!) I am very happy with my hair. After years of going from stylist to stylist (from Newbury St to Cambridge to the South End, etc), I am so glad that I finally found someone as experienced, talented and affordable as Gina.

I explained that I have VERY short hair like a man and I did not feel paying $40-50 was fair to me. I told her I would be willing to go to $30. She told me to come in so she could see how long it was. I went in and when she saw how white I was she told me "I charge what I CHARGE"!!! She was not the nice professional that I spoke with on the phone. If she had only pretended to look at my hair, it would not have been so obvious her RACIST attitude towards me. I left immediately as I said " I won't pay that much when I don't even have $40 dollars worth of Hair"! I feel that people should be aware of this. I NEVER write reviews but felt I MUST about this incident.
