I arrived at 10:20 AM for a 10:30 AM appointment, waited 25 minutes to be seated, and was stuck in the salon until 6:00 PM. During the consult, she uncomfortably told me my hair looked "so dirty" (knowing I just came from the airport). She suggested a $40 scalp facial, but when showing me the quote, she had secretly upgraded it to a $125 "Luxury" version without asking. Exhausted from no sleep, I just went along with it. She will talk your head off using charming tactics to aggressively upsell you. She complained extensively about her personal financial problems and her $500/week chair rental and that really threw me off as a client. No hairstylist should be making that the client's problem! Your money issues are not my problem Brooke. Been there and it sucks but I don't push it on others... My bill ended up at a staggering $530-the most I've ever spent just wanting a fresh cut and color. I was honest and told her I couldn't tip more than what I have given because the total was so high. She easily could have rectified the situation by removing the unauthorized $125 charge, but she didn't. Brooke has genuine talent, but she needs to grow up professionally. I gave into my people-pleasing tendencies here, but I definitely won't be back.

I can't recommend Brooke enough! About a year ago, I came to her after six years of bleaching and…read moredyeing my fine hair blonde, and it was in awful shape. I had so much breakage, and my hair felt damaged beyond repair. I honestly had no idea what to ask for, I just knew I wanted healthy hair again. From the moment I sat in her chair, Brooke knew exactly what my hair needed. She recommended a color correction to bring me back to my natural strawberry blonde and enhanced it with the most amazing red/copper glaze. The result was even better than I could have imagined. In just one appointment, she completely transformed my hair into something I genuinely loved again!! A year later, I'm still obsessed with the color, and my hair has never looked or felt healthier. Brooke is so talented and truly cares about the health of your hair, not just making it look good for one day. If you're dealing with damaged hair, color correction, or simply don't know what direction to go with your color, trust Brooke. She is a true expert, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair!

I have been to many of the "best" well-known salons on Newbury St. I've always left unhappy with darker hair, ashy, muddy, etc.. it went on for so long. I was even told that your hair changes every seven years and my hair just can't get light again. These colors made me look so washed out. I hated it. I ended up going to a salon in Needham. She refused to put collar on it except for my roots. She lightened my roots and then put a toner on it. She turned my hair medium brown. I was horrified! She washed it out, put another toner on. This was a color I had never seen! I had a combination of orange and the other parts were brownish ash and greenish! I was totally freaked! And I have an event coming up this weekend. I read some reviews never thinking I would get in to anyone last minute. Lynda answered and was nice enough able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. Walking in with multicolored hair, and being told my hair can't be blonde again, I could just tell that she was going to be good. I hit the jackpot with Lynda! I'm blonde, my hair looks healthy, she gives a phenomenal blowout, and I will never go to anyone else again. Lynda is extremely knowledgeable and unbelievably talented! For the first time in so long not only was a blonde, but when I looked in the mirror I liked what I saw and I really hadn't for such a long time. Lynda' is by far the best most talented colorist in Boston! I can't tell you how glad I am to have found her.

Everyone was so kind, and somehow my 24" of hair extensions looks completely natural styled or air dried. If you are searching for the absolute best in the business, LOOK NO FURTHER. Regina and her team are it - it's worth every single penny. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment.

When I found Regina I was skeptical and followed her for some times before I reached out to book an appointment. I had her install my sew in extensions and a few weeks later took her class. I was blown away with her knowledge and loved how she compiled her favorite techniques from different methods and brought them together in her own education. Wether you are a stylist or a client Regina definitely knows her stuff. Thank you Regina for an amazing experience! I love my hair and all the new techniques I learned in your class! Can't sit for the next one!

I love to research and discover hidden gems and Emily is a true gem. In 2023, I was looking to get…read moreextentions for my wedding. A well known salon near the north end of Boston was recommended to me. To make a long story short. The quality was ok-nothing outstanding. The time it took for the extensions were over 14 hrs and the price was over 5k. But the worst part, I was lied to about many things, particularly, when I would need to get the extentions replaced, I was told 2 months! Refusing to accept that, I started researching and spoke to every salon in mass/nh. When I met with Emily, I knew I found a trustworthy, kind, talented soul. I was grateful for her honesty and knowledge. Every 6 months, I have my 20-24 inch extensions replaced, which is a 5-6 hr appointment, where our conversation are never ending. The cost is much more affordable! The best part is every-time I see Emily it's like catching up with a wonderful friend. I feel lucky to have found her!

She's not one to be too concerned about what others may think but her hair loss has been leaving her increasingly self conscious lately. She asked for my help and I found Emily. What an amazing person Emily is. From the moment I reached out to her on her website she was kind, knowledgeable and seemingly excited to help us. Based on the pictures I sent her and what I told her about my mom and what she was looking for, she ordered at least 4 wigs and toppers to have in salon for my mom to try at her consultation. She made my mom feel so comfortable. She asked questions to figure out what exactly she was hoping to achieve and was honest and genuine about her professional opinion on the state of her hair and what would work for her. Instead of selling my mom an expensive wig or topper, she introduced us to an inexpensive option (hair fibers) AND she cleaned up and shaped my mom's hair in the back. She did all of this in our consultation without any expectations of payment. My mom and I are so grateful to Emily for suggesting the option that best suits her based on who she is and her lifestyle.

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.
