“I love Blackroom!! This was my first salon experience and it was incredible. They quickly rescheduled my appointment after my stylist had a last-minute emergency and worked around my schedule very easily. The hairdresser I had, Khalee, was a blast to be around, made me feel super comfortable, and completely understood my vision and helped me figure out what would suit my style and face shape best. She made my first experience so welcoming and encouraging and I am very excited to make this my go-to salon!!“
“Words are not enough to convey how incredible Olivia DiBona and her team are. Naturally, nerves were heightened on my wedding day and I was very uptight. Olivia was not just focused on doing my hair and makeup but on distracting me and making me feel at ease. Olivia has a sense of confidence and calmness that will make any of her clients feel reassured. Her team of incredible hair stylists and makeup artists are no different. They all get along with one another and with their clients, no matter the age. On the day of my wedding, Paige, Maggie, and Olivia O. were all outstanding.
My bridal party has still not stopped talking about how impressed they were with their hair and makeup. They felt so special on my day and that made me feel so happy. I have Olivia’s team to thank for that.
My mom’s hair and makeup were impeccable. My mom is naturally gorgeous but I have never seen her look so stunning in my life. I cannot count how many times people saw pictures and asked if we were sisters.
My hair and makeup….wow! I am emotional writing this because as a bride you wish for a fairytale wedding. You dream about yourself and about what your family and friends, and especially future husband, will think of you on the day of the wedding. I have never felt so beautiful and confident in my life than after Olivia did my hair and makeup. I never expected to feel that way about myself, being a harsh critic, and it truly put me to tears when I first looked in the mirror.
Olivia didn’t just do my hair and makeup and then leave, like most artists probably would. She stayed to make me a touch up kit, do last minute touch-ups right before I got dressed, and to talk through putting my veil in with my anxious mom. She didn’t once look at the clock or tell me she was there too long. She stayed and took pictures, complimented me and my bridesmaids, and left only when we all felt ready.
I could go on and on, but Olivia and her team we exceptional and I could not recommend them enough for weddings or any other special event! I will be referring every single person I know to her.“
“This review is a long time coming. I came here during the summer for microblading with Kym. I had over tweezed my brows over the years and they looked too sparse and uneven for my liking. Kym took her time mapping out the shape and picked out the perfect color that matched my natural brows exactly. I was going for a natural look and Kym delivered. I really love the shape she gave me. The place is super cute and I feel pretty just going there because of how nice it is inside. I would highly recommend Kym and Dollface if you're looking to get your brows micro bladed!“
“I went to get a haircut after two years of really not loving to go to hairstylists, based on a friend’s recommendation. So my hair was long with no shape. I was actually so surprised because in 30 minutes magic happened! Michelle did an excellent job figuring me out and honestly did a much better job than everyone I went to in the past 10 years. She’s really good at what she does! I will definitely come again.“
“Aisling is amazing and I will be her client for life! My appointments with Aisling are quick, painless, and pleasant. I have been going to Ireland Beauty for years for a variety of spa essentials (waxing, facials, haircuts, etc.) and I highly recommend Aisling and the rest of the team! The receptionists are always friendly and there is almost always parking readily available.“
“Working with Lyndsay Simon beauty for my wedding was a great choice. I had Taylor for hair and Eliza for makeup. I was a little nervous going into my trial as I'm not a super hair/makeup girl and wasn't sure what to expect, but I had no reason to fear. They were both so quick to understand my vision and they really encouraged me to give honest feedback and promised I couldn't hurt their feelings. I extra appreciated Eliza going step by step with me when I said I felt like something was missing until we figured it out. I did the trial before my bachelorette which I highly recommend; not only did I look beautiful that night but I also got to confirm my looks lasted through hours of being out and about.
On the wedding day there were both so timely, polite, and organized. I really appreciated them being calm presences and keeping the mood positive. All my wedding party loved working with them and everyone turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Lyndsay Simon beauty.“
“Thank you Chelsea so much! I feel so much better than I did walking in. My eyebrows were starting to grow weeds. I'm a new person.“
“Moved to the area recently and found Rachel right around the corner - she gave me a wonderful haircut! Feels like every hair knows where it belongs. Thank you!“
“Her work is wonderful. She has a wonderful Personality. Never disappointed takes her time she’s definitely a perfectionist.“
“Annmarie did such amazing job on my hair! I can't say enough about the cut, styling and coloring! She brought life back to my hair!“
“After hearing such wonderful things about Alice at Revelation Hair Salon and wanting a huge hair style change. I just knew where I needed to go. Alice was so personable and highly exceeded my expectations of what I wanted with my hair and I could not of been happier. She did such a wonderful job!!“
“Was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and Jada did an amazing job. Jada makes me feel so comfortable she’s awesome. The place is so beautiful and clean. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer.“
“I’ve been a client of Stilisti for eight years now. My cuts and color are *consistently* gorgeous. Marisa (the owner) is my primary hairdresser, but I don’t hesitate for a moment to see another stylist (Ana) if the scheduling works out better. Marisa emphasizes training of everyone in the salon and her standards are high! Even the hair washes feel special; Darlyne, in particular, gives an awesome scalp massage. The salon uses Goldwell color, which is my favorite for my blonde hair and they do a beautiful job with dimension (base color with tons of high/low lights and also a really pretty Scandinavian blonde treatment around my hairline). Maybe best of all is that there is zero attitude at this salon, which is so refreshing (especially for Newbury Street). The prices are consistent with other downtown Boston/Back Bay salons (read “not cheap” :)) but 100% worth it, especially when I factor in how well my cuts grow out. If it weren’t for my fast-growing roots at age 48, I could definitively stretch the time between appointments; but - alas - I love how great I feel with consistently great hair, so I am on about an every 8 week schedule. Bottom line: highest marks for Stilisti ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I am not exaggerating when I say Jennifer at Joy Skin Atelier transformed my skin. Both through a combination incredible facials that she customized specifically to my needs, but also for her recommendations on skin care products.I was already spending a small fortune on products, but the products Jennifer recommended for me (all carried by Joy Skin Atelier) have had more dramatic results then anything I've bought myself after hours of research.The only reason I don't want to write this review is I'm afraid it will make getting an appointment harder as more people find out how fantastic Joy Atelier is. Highly recommend!!!“
“My experience from the beginning has been phenomenal. Everytime Ms. Beckles graces my hair with her hands, my hair blooms uncontrollably in the best way possible. She is an amazing woman and always creates a space of positive vibes and comfort leaving you feeling like a Queen when you walk out the door.
I loyalty is forever in her hands.
Thank You,
Nikki
Stylist: My stylist is Becklesbeauty and will always and forever be her.“
“Jackie was amazing! My hair has never looked better and she is such a sweetie! Def recommend!“
“Gulnara is so talented! I have worked with her on headshots and also product shoots. She has a great eye and is super fun to work with. She works with your vision but also thinks outside of the box and creates truly beautiful photos“
“Amy did a wonderful job for my wedding make-up! She's easy-going and brings a calming, yet fun presence to your big day. My make-up lasted the entire day and I'm beyond happy with how it turned out. I wanted to look like myself but glammed up enough for professional photos. Thank you Amy!“
“Regardless of whether you are a makeup novice or a makeup expert, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Katrina. She has a holistic approach to beauty that starts with personalized skincare all the way through makeup looks for different events and scenarios. Her approach of letting the client exercise various techniques builds confidence and skill. Katrina is kind, thoughtful, and an expert at her craft. She doesn't just recommend specific products, but provides tangible guidance for color tones and product types, no matter what her clients use. The week after my appointment with Katrina, I actually had a coworker compliment my makeup look!
Being part of a person's beauty journey is not just Katrina's job, but it is truly her passion. She is an artist and a teacher. I couldn't recommend her more!“
“The best experience that I have so far, 米雪Mi Xue changed my hair and dressing style. I turned from a n*** to a fashion guy. And then I found a girlfriend with the fashion dress. The dress style is suitable to me, not too dramatic and I like it, because the dress also fit my low key personality.“
“Best Salon in Newton , highly skilled and professional..if your looking for amazing hair care and current hair trends Vianni and Clarke is rated number ONE!“
“I had an great experience at this hair salon! They were able to accommodate me the same day, which was a huge plus. My hairstylist, Russell, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and understood exactly what I wanted for my haircut. I appreciated his friendliness and the fact that he has 10 years of experience. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be“
“I've followed Lindsey from salon to salon for the past eight years and referred multiple friends, because she is beyond worth it! Lindsey is as sweet as she is talented, which is to say extremely - my hair has never looked and felt better, and her blowouts always come out looking event-ready. Her title of long hair queen is well-deserved!“
“Love this salon! The girls working there are so welcoming and fun to be around. I get my haircut regularly by Courtney, and she’s the best! I also have gotten blow outs from the other girls and they kill it each time. I leave there with a smile each time :) if you’re looking for a salon, go here, best salon in the area by far! They often have exciting promos for hair products as well!“
“Jenny and Lauren worked their hair and makeup magic for myself and 7 other ladies (4 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and one little sister) for my July 7 wedding in Boston. Jenny's communication from time of booking through the trial and the day-of was amazing, and I always felt like we were on the same page. I really loved their focus on good hair and skin prep, and emphasis on making sure everyone still felt like themselves - particularly those in the party who were less comfortable with getting their makeup done. Lauren was so gentle with my husband's little sister, who was getting her hair and makeup done for the first time ever. Lauren took the time to explain everything she was doing before it happened and checked in frequently to make sure she was comfortable. My little sister in law went from very nervous to absolutely beaming by the time they were done! Can't thank them both enough for making my wedding morning very chill and comfortable experience! :)“
