I've been going here for years and love it! Always consistency in quality and attentiveness to what I'm looking for, even if my stylist is not available, the other stylists are great too! Pleasant and fun group of professionals always makes for an enjoyable visit. They won't disappoint:) read more

The owner Ashley is super friendly and very easy to work with. I love her personality and how she's very easy going but also straight to the point if something won't work out and I think that's great. When my hair didn't work out one time she didn't charge me to redo it and it was awesome and super nice because my hair is a pain. I usually don't commit to a hair dresser but I will go back to ashley for now on read more

I wished there was a negative star option to rate this review. I had a horrible nightmare in which no female ever wants to endure when they go to a "professional" salon. I cannot speak for all of the stylists but just one, who I won't name. I have natural dark brown/black hair. I wanted a lighter brown with highlights, had the picture discussed it and the end results was a horrible ugly yellow chalkish "blonde. I get that it always doesn't come out like the picture, but this didn't even remotely come close. Needless to say I spent 3 hours and ended up leaving with my black roots still showing. When I pointed out my noticeable black roots I was told I needed to come back and pay for that service. This was on a Saturday and they don't open until Tuesday. Are you kidding me? I was to go to work with that mess of a hair? No I went elsewhere and fixed it. The stylist at James Joseph salon, where I went to get it fixed, the following day, because salon 234 was not open, had a hard time believing me that I went to a salon (he literally said are you sure your friend didn't do it in your kitchen?) and they would allow me to walk out like that. The owner cashed me out that day at salon 234, with nicki minaj type colored hair and black roots. What really pisses me off besides the fact that my whole head was now bleached and completely ruined until my natural hair grows back was the owner Angela. As a customer I don't think its professional and also its tacky to discuss how much your employees get paid and provide me with reason as to why I can't get my full refund (I have never been one to ever not pay for services, but this was recommended to me by several stylists). Yanni, he was polite and treated me with respect the whole time. It was unfortunate that I had to deal with Angela and her lack of professionalism, because she truly ended up making the experience that much worst. I already had my whole head bleached which I DID NOT want, ended up paying more to get it fixed (I couldn't go back to a place that couldn't get it right the first time and allowed me to walk out the door like that) and had to cut most of my hair. This was all a nightmare. I wish I never had gone there in the first place. read more

I came here on a $99 Groupon deal: manicure (I paid $10 more and substituted a pedicure), European facial and hot stone massage. Even so, and even though I was the last customer before the Thanksgiving break, dress like a bum, and was soaking wet from the torrential rain outside, everybody treated me as though I was a big tipper who paid full price. The pedicure was the best I've ever had. Sit on a sofa in a quiet little room, not one of those massage chairs, in a quiet room and get truly personal, and thorough, treatment. My feet, which were a wreck, now look and feel fantastic, and the polish work was superb. (I wish I'd got the name of the polish - something OPI that's iridescent pewter, teal, and plum.) The facial: I've had better, mostly because of the products, which I wasn't crazy about. I can't complain much, since they certainly did the job - a day later, my face looks terrific - but I prefer the milder-feeling, more emollient products at Elizabeth Grady. But: good, very good, and I have very sensitive skin. Also a nice (and nice and long) shoulder, neck and hand massage, with something that smelled like arnica or tea tree oil. The killer was the hot stone massage. I'm no massage neophyte - had them all over the US and in India, too - but this? This was something new. Smooth, flat stones are heated in a crockpot of water, then the masseuse (who also gave the facial) oils you up, cups a stone in each hand and rubs you until you are moosh. I'm finicky; not enough pressure and it feels like I'm being walked on by spiders, not a pleasant experience. The rocks not only provide really delicious heat, but likely make even a mediocure masseur capable of giving a serious rubdown. My masseuse was clearly a pro, so the rocks sent the whole experience over the top. So good, in fact, that I slept through the last third of this wonderful experience. Somehow I poured myself into my clothes and got home, but I don't remember much. Would I go again? Heck yeah, whenever I'm in town and can afford it. read more

Terrible customer service. Almost seems like they don't want people purchasing their groupon deals so why bother advertising them?. Not flexible with their schedule, came in at 11am for a shellac manicure and told me I had to wait 2 hours or more because she only had one person. Nasty attitude from the lady at the desk, goodluck getting new clients in the near future. Definitely never recommending this place or coming back again for any of their services. Makes sense as to why the place is always empty. If there was a no star to rate this place I would certainly give it to them. read more

What a great salon.i really like Ashley she was attentive and very good at listening and giving her opinion. I love that she was so proud of her work that she was willing to work my hair very nice. As a single mom I don't get to do it often but it's so nice to leave with something I love and to feel listen to read more

I thought it was an inconvenient location. Cut was pretty good, but the vibe that I got when I walked in was off. I walked in and all the associates were crowded around the computer at the desk and I guess were ordering food for all of them. It just seemed more like a sorority than a professional salon. I guess I just expected everyone to greet me and maybe not order food and ask each other (including my stylist), if they could use her credit card to pay for it and what her billing zipcode was and such. other than that, I think my stylist was ashley and she was super adorable and nice to talk to. I liked my cut but the blow out was subpar. There was no volume left at the crown so it was just flat. A big no no. I went home and rewashed my hair and styled it myself. Will I be returning? Sure, but I will not be paying for a blowout/style. Just stick with the cut and have her just blowdry it dry without a round brush. read more

Used groupon deal for 1 HOUR relaxation massage. Although Malissa was very polite and nice, however it was just an average massage. read more

Love this salon! So friendly and clean! All the hairdressers there are talented! Ally is my hair dresser there and she is legit AMAZING!! I swear her hands create magic! I look forward to sitting in her chair and she makes me feel beautiful before, during and especially after! I 100% recommend this salon! read more

I've been going here for a few years now and everytime I love it!! They do excellent work on hair. I feel so happy and refreshed & beautiful when I leave. I love all the hairdressers(even though Stella is my favorite)Staff is friendly and upbeat. Just positively amazing!! I'd give more stars if I could!! read more

First time here and loved my haircut! The customer service was awesome. Very clean place and friendly staff. My hair dresser Ashley, was amazing ! I recommend this salon and will be going here again. read more

My first time here, with a Groupon for a massage but got a mini facial and massage. Angela the owner was very sweet and very attentive to what I was looking for Jen did my facial and massage she is amazing I felt so relaxed. Location is great parking isn't an issue. I would definitely recommend trying this place. Thank you salon 234 I look forward to more future visits :) read more

One of my favorite salons. This salon treats their clients like family. The owners Angela and yianni are great. The salon runs specials from 50$ microdermabrasion (you can't find that anywhere!!) My favorite place to go for a massage! Check them out :) read more

I went in there few times getting my hair done and highlights, first time the price seems reasonable for highlight/cuts. Second time the price jumped up at least $15 more?! Why is that?! I got the same thing what I had before just highlight/cuts!? I think I'm being getting ripped off, business shouldn't be ripping customers off when customers knows what they had paid for the first time! I'm not going back there again, thought they were legitimate stick with their own price range, not just because they could change their price when they want! That's how you're losing good customers just like that. I'm definitely aware what I had done, not so much different from the first. It's been said and done. read more

Inexperienced staff. The stylists here clearly do not know what they're doing. No talent. This review is a tad bit over due but I might as well warn everyone else. I came in for my appointment with Ally for high lights but got zebra strips instead. I tried not to cry. The only thing worse than the high lights was the style. My hair was flat and had no life to it. After paying all of that money plus tip I was upset. As this nightmare was happening I looked around to see the other stylists and they were just as bad as mine. As I went to cash out I met the owner Angela. She could visibly see that I was horrified but didn't acknowledge it. I regret walking through the door and embarrassed leaving. BTW Angela M is the owner and wrote a 5 star review. Good way to support your business by writing your own false review. Stay far away. read more

I love this Salon and wouldn't go anywhere else! I've been a client for years! Everyone here is completely professional and genuine! Actually going back today to get my hair styled. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CUT HERE. Ali is the WORST hairdresser I've ever encountered in my entire life. Incompetent and unknowledgeable. She has poor listening skills and cuts hair like a first grader. My hair was left in a choppy disaster. read more

I think the people are very friendly and the salon is inviting. I have had several massages and Jen is great!!! I go every three weeks and I so look forward to it. I would definitely recommend the salon even though I have not had my hair or nails done there. Deb Everett, MA read more

I went here this morning with a groupon for highlights and a cut. Yianni did a great job on both the color and cut. Everyone who worked here is pleasant and the prices seem very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Ashley is the most amazing hairdresser I have ever had! I went to her for the first time back in March 2019 after not having my hair cut or colored in over 3 years. Needless to say, it was a mess and I desperately needed her help. She cut a few inches off and gave me a beautiful blonde/brunette balayage. I was in love. I decided to go back and have more chopped off, and she once again worked her magic. In August, I decided it was time for a big change and wanted to go purple.. so Ashley gave me exactly what I wanted, and I have been going back to see her every 6 weeks since then to touch up my roots & color, as well as get my ends trimmed every time. She never ceases to amaze me. Every single time I see her, she works her magic and makes me feel beautiful! She patiently listens to what I want done, and executes it even better than I could ever expect. I'm so glad that I finally found someone that I can 100% trust with my hair, and I will always go to Ashley for all my hair needs for the rest of forever :) read more

Hidden gem in Lynn. I never understood why people go into Boston on Newbury St when we have our own wonderful hair salon in Lynn. Salon 234 is best known for its customer service. I change my schedule lots and whenever I call Angela, the owner, she is accommodating. Yianni has been doing my hair for almost 20 years. He is always up on the latest hair trends. I have long hair which is always a challenge but not for him and I feel pretty when I leave. Ashley has done my hair a few times as well and she is delightful. Great job styling. Don't hesitate to go. read more

Great place to get hair done. Atmosphere is friendly and professional . I have never had a bad experience there. Would recommend this salon to anyone read more

I came here in September, looking for a hair salon that I could start going to regularly. I was about a half hour early for my appointment, but I was taken right away. The staff was nice and all, but I asked for a Caramel color to put in my hair, and I have light blonde hair, and caramel to me is like a medium goldenish blonde. I even showed pictures... And the two that were working looked at me and said that is NOT a caramel color... And so I said oh can I see some, they show me this weird brown color. But I said I want something with a bit of gold my hair doesn't take well to ash. So Yianni put the color in my hair and stuck me under the dryer, which I wasn't sure they were supposed to do... He then started doing someone else's hair while I'm waiting... Then the other girl washed my hair out.. When my hair was dried, it looked ok until the next day it was GREEN... He obviously used ash when I said it wasn't good in my hair. Yeah not coming back. read more

Whatever you do DONT get a so-called Brazilian blowout there,its a waste of money.A BIG mistake that I made a few months back.Staff is nice enough while they are picking your pockets.Angela talked me into getting the 3 month version with a small price reduction when I was planning on getting the simpler one.NO bargains there, very disappointed and discouraged from EVER going back. Go to G2 salon instead, they did a great job!!! read more

Came in using Groupon, get my hair cut by Stella who did a great job. Very friendly. I will come back again to have her do my hair.

Went in for a cut and color after asking a friend (who's hair always looks great) who she goes to and she told me Ashley at Salon 234. Started off fine - stylist was friendly and took me right away. After that, I was not impressed. She got hair dye all around my hairline and instead of wiping it off, left it there - which left me for the rest of the weekend with a gross looking red line on my forehead and a few splotches near my ears. To me, that seems like hairstyling 101 - wipe any excess hair dye off. Second, the poor stylist was overbooked - had one client blow-drying her own hair (might be why she overlooked a few things with my hair) and was juggling several of us at the exact same time, which left me sitting with the hair dye on my hair for too long. My once curly hair now looks...I can't even find a word to describe (scraggly maybe?) it but let's just say my ringlets are GONE! Lastly, one of the great perks of going to a salon is getting that fabulous blow out that you can't ever seem to replicate in your own home. I left there with my hair looking frizzy and needed to use the straightener when I got home. I will never go back there again. read more
