Review from Christina T.

Bought a living social coupon for this salon and ended up very pleased. My stylist Candace, was pleasant and efficient, and even gave me a discount on my next cut.
Love the cut itself -- she spent time talking with me and looking at my hair before she washed it, and she did exactly what I asked for -- not too much off the length and some nice face framing layers. I left feeling fabulous.
It's a tiny place in a hard to find location, but definitely worth the trip. -

I experienced this place via LivingSocial. The first week I went for a wash, cut, color, blowdry. I told the receptionist ahead of time I wanted the Ombre color (for those who don't know It is a two-tone color that almost looks like you let you roots grow out reallly far). I have no clue why they would give a new customer an inexperianced color stylist instead of their "color expert." Needless to say, I explained that I wanted a my color to go from my natural dark brown to a lighter brown. My hair is now brown to blonde with the tips going back to brown again. The "color-expert" even had to stop the stylist from using the wrong type of color. I had ZERO hair color in my hair so I have no clue what she did to make it three tone and very unnatural looking. Moving on - the cut was supposed to be a trim and she showed me how much she was going to cut. Somewhere along the line she went over the original cut three or four more times cutting about 4 inches total. For the ladies who have extra long hair, they can understand how this can be heartbreaking. The time for the color was so underestimated that I had to come back for the blowdry the next day because it was so late when she got finished. The blowdry was about the only thing that went smooth - no pun intended
Having also already bought the Keratin treatment on LivingSocial, I was forced to give the solan another chance to redeem themselves. I dont know what the name of the Keratin treatment is that they used but it didn't work and I've had a few treatments to know how it is supposed to work. My hair is not smoother and requires the same amount of time to blowdry.
As for the "Newbury feel"...No! There wasn't even a coat rack, most of the girls looked like they just entered the business, the profanity made me feel like I was hanging out at football game not a high-end salon, the ventilation was poor, and one stylist was even spray tanning herself in the mirror in between clients. Not to mention the obvious - very difficult to find! -

I got my hair cut here a while back and had a decent experience. First, it's hella hard to find. I think someone else noted this, and they must get calls about it all the time, because it's in a large corporate building that doesn't have its address on it and then the signage inside is lacking. Further, it's inside the gym there, so if you're headed here, just call when you're in the vicinity to save yourself the headache.
While the salon is in a weird space, it's actually quite nice. I had a great wash by Ashley and then Anthony talked to me about my hair. Like, we had a serious, sit down chat about how I normally style it, what products I use to wash and style, how often I blow dry and straighten, where I part it ..
I ended up getting a basic cut, the split ends off and a little more styling. While my experience was great, I'm a simple girl and can't believe a hair cut costs $80. I had to mention the special they were running for new clients (25% off, I believe) instead of having it automatically giving it to me. It was a really enjoyable experience, but I felt I got the same results as I have gotten at much less expensive establishments. -

Hidden away in Planet Fitness; definitely a gem :)
Free Parking & Plenty of it.
After getting way too many bad haircuts, I'm finally happy happy :)
Got some funky color, and a cut that couldn't be more perfect for me...
They now will have me as a regular! -

Overpriced and underserviced. Cut was what I suspect you would get at a barber shop. Price was what you pay on Newbury St. Location is impossible to find.
