    My hair next to my orange tabby cat. It looks much better on her...

    Huge mistake coming to this salon. They require you to apply for an appointment online and upload inspiration photos. I thought this meant they knew what they were doing and cared about the results. They have you come in for a consultation that's more about how much money they charge vs what they'll actually do to your hair. They really think they're something special, you can't even book an appointment without paying a non refundable $60 deposit and they threaten to charge you for the appointment if you don't reschedule at least 48 hours in advance. Here is my inspiration photo and what I actually got. My hair looks embarrassingly orange and when I told the stylist I wasn't happy with it (I had to tell her as she was pushing me out of the chair and didn't even asked what I thought) she got defensive and said she didn't want my money, accused me of having bad energy and said that I should not come back. She showed zero empathy for how unhappy I was with the color and end result and did not want to fix it, basically just talked over me, had her colleague defend her work, said she had explained the process and it was my fault I did not understand and kicked me out. My hair now matches my orange tabby cat. Since they charge by the hour they rush everything. They try to scare you by saying your hair will be fried and fall out if they actually turn it blonde and contradict themselves at the same time saying if you pay for a 6 hour appointment then they can actually get it the right color. So it's expected that you walk around with hideous hair for weeks before coming back for multiple appointments so they can rebleach it until they actually get the color right, all while charging by the hour. Sound pretty convenient....for them not the customer. She said other salons overdevelop and rush the process but they really give the hair time to process (not to extend appointment times -she added.) I thought that meant they wouldn't leave my hair orange but I couldn't have been more wrong. I've been highlighting my hair for 18 years and no one has ever left it this bad, the pattern isn't even similar to the inspiration photo, the pattern is all wrong, my existing blonde was not pulled out and is now over bleached and turning silver. I think a beauty school student would have done a better job. Completely unprofessional. She actually said I should be happy that I'm "half way to where I want to be and didn't have to pay for it". As if my time has no value, now I have to go to 2 appointments to do what could have been done in one. I'd rather have my natural color, I would pay for that at this point. Instead I have to live with orange hair for a month while I wait for my appointment with a reputable salon.

    This place is a gem for Medford. I recently moved to the area from a big city and was definitely nervous about finding a new stylist. Someone recommended The Nest to me so I went with it and I'm so happy I did! Such an adorable atmosphere inside and girls who take pride in their work. Thanks ladies!

    I keep hoping it'll feel better to be here for a haircut but it only gets more weird and…read moreuncomfortable each visit. Great prices if you can handle really offensive chatter from Sonja and her friends, plus constant phone calls and other interruptions like legitimate walk-ins that somehow take precedence. I myself talk like a sailor and embrace all sorts of ways of being, yet still this place is just too much even for me. And then to charge me the same amount to brush out and dry my own simple hair, not once but now every time, because I'm polite and Sonja seems overwhelmed? Nope. Game over. This place is gross in so many ways.

    I came here years ago where they pierced my septum wrong and crooked. The jewelry fell on the floor…read moreand she didn't sterilize it. It was rushed and I had to go agave in bloom to fix it. Today, despite my better judgment, I went with a friend to try again for a nostril because it's affordable and honestly a body mod was closed. l don't understand how this establishment is certified to pierce...It doesn't seem sterile at all... the piercing jewelry isn't good quality or the right shape (L bar too small) and it's loose in a display case. The nose piercing fell out two hours after it was done. It's not long enough for swelling. Staff are nice enough...I guess? It's extremely fast and not personable. I'm confused all around. We'll see how it heals I guess. I'm not convinced it will heal well.

    This review is two fold as the stylist I used is not a reflection on the salon itself as there are…read moremultiple stylist available. I have been coming here for several months. I like the salon and the owner. The salon is very stylish and owner is pleasant for that I give 4 stars. But the stylist (K) whom I tried to have good faith in obviously is very inexperienced. My hair was damaged and colored dark and she was able to work with me to help restore the health and lighten my coloring but sadly that's where it ended. She does not clearly communicate as she had me book well in advance for full Baylayage and then only provided reg coloring (which ended up being too dark,). This was the 2nd time I was expecting full Baylayage coloring that she misled me. On two other previous visits she was supposed to cut my hair but failed to do so. She asked for photos (Balayage and color) which I showed her the same photos on multiple visits to which she remarked its doable but when its time to execute she doesnt fullfill. She states she prefers to do natural hair coloring but her skills are limited to the basics. Natural hair color has different tones. She doesn't understand how to mix toners, cut layers or perform true Baylayage. For this I give her 2 stars....making this review an average of 3 stars. On a side note when I remarked my dissatisfaction I was asked to find another stylist. Weirdly I always felt a salon would try to make their customers happy but I guess that's not their policy.

    I got a haircut from MJ and it was fabulous. Her salon is gorgeous and inviting. I hate the…read morelocation, it's a beautiful building but the questionable characters that sleep on the sidewalks are a deterrent. The urine smell is too pungent.
