“Great place to have your hair done, very attentive to your needs, an very knowledgeable, great hair stylist, you will enjoy your experience there.“
“I love working with Mallory! She listens intently and has great skills, and her prices are totally reasonable for this area.“
“The search for a hairstylist is one of the hardest things when you move to a new place. I found Amanda when I moved to Watertown in 2019 and never looked back! She knows how to cut my hair so it fits my face and is a wizard with color. I highly recommend, go check her out!“
“Andrew has been an absolute superstar! I'm often looking to completely change my hairstyle and he's met those requests with excitement instead of apprehension. He's also done a great job with both hair transitions he's worked on with me! To be honest I can't afford his haircuts but I keep going to him because he's the only person in the city that I trust with non-standard hairstyles across the gender spectrum.
Edit: My last couple haircuts have been quite disappointing. I tried to convince myself the haircuts were okay. But the lines in my hair were uneven both times and I asked for layers both times and he cut my hair all to the same length both times. Since he didn't give me layers the first time, I asked him to cut my hair short if he needed to for layers the second time around. This time again he cut my hair all to one length, but this time shorter. I would trust him completely with masculine hairstyles but I don't think I'm ever going back for a hairstyle with any femme components. The last couple appointments also felt more rushed and like he didn't have the time or energy to spend on the haircut and just wanted it out of the way, so all in all, I'm probably on the lookout for a new hairstylist.. :(“
“Katie has been my go to hair girl for over a decade!! I’m so elated for her to have ventured off to do her own thing. She has always given me great advice, cuts, hair styles, color, etc. I usually don’t get my hair done often but when I do, I’m always wanting to go to her. Besides her performing EXCEPTIONAL hair cuts, colors, and styles, she makes you feel welcome and right at home. I’m so happy to have built this relationship with my hairdresser vs going to a salon, waiting awhile and having multiple people touch my hair.“
“Kristin is absolutely phenomenal. She is the first to give me a curly haircut that was easy to manage, super cute, and that really allowed my curls to show.“
“It is difficult to find a stylist of Cris' magnitude, not only in how wonderful she can be professionally speaking but in the connection between client-stylist. For more than a year CRIS has kept my hair exactly the way I like it. She has taken care of every detail in terms of shape, color and texture. He has always given me the best care recommendations and especially every time I have wanted to change something. Every time I visit the salon she does ozone treatments for nutrition, silkiness and more shine in my hair. The room is super divine, excellent music, Cris is the best! I have received millions of compliments on my hair. She is high class!“
“Lauren just dyed and cut my hair, and I feel like a million bucks. She is an outstanding hairdresser with a particular knack for cutting curly hair, such as mine. When she shampoos a your hair, you could easily fall asleep. All the stylists are professional and offer excellent service for a fair price. I highly recommend this salon to people in the town and beyond. Always easy to park near the salon, too.“
“Had a fantastic experience here! Stephanie was super kind and accommodating, and made my mess of a mane look fantastic (no easy feat!). The salon itself is gorgeous and has a very friendly vibe. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend.“
“I absolutely love my new extensions! Allana did the most amazing job - exceeded all expectations. I have always had thin hair and just wanted some additional volume. I don't know if I will ever not have Allana's extensions again. Life changing!“
“Absolutely flawless gel manicure! Best nail salon I’ve been to - my nails were shaped perfectly. The techs are extremely kind and attentive. Definitely will be returning :)“
“Tatiane and Lauriana thank you so much for always making me look and feel beautiful. I absolutely admire your work! ❤️“
“Amazing! She takes her time but is still time efficient. She makes sure you’re comfortable in the chair and while you’re getting your hair washed. She gives you a little scalp massage when she washes your hair too! Such a sweet woman. I’ll definitely be going back again“
“Super happy with my last haircut! I have gotten so many compliments, and she did what I wanted where other hairdressers have talked me out of the style I wanted in the past. Also, great listener to my kids who also have specific wishes. Top notch, easy to book, and affordable prices!“
“Christina did my hair and it came out beautiful!! The hairdressers are very welcoming and so sweet, I recommend going there.“
“I'm tempted not to leave a review so this can remain a hidden gem, but what a disservice that would be to Sue!!! This was my first time getting my haircut here and it was by far the best cut I've gotten in Boston, especially considering the price (~$20 less than the going rate for a women's cut in the city). She was so friendly, chatty, and had a same day appointment when I called on a Tuesday morning. I told her just a little bit about what I wanted for my hair and she absolutely nailed it. The rapport I saw between her and the customer before me was lovely, and the waves she gave to a few customers who passed her window during my cut were heartwarming. 10/10 would recommend even though I want to keep this sweet salon all to myself!“
“Christine is amazing! She has been doing my hair for 7 years and I am never disappointed! She listens to what I want while also making knowledgeable recommendations for what she knows will look best with my coloring. Her color and cuts are fire. She is a true artist and also a great human and I am so grateful to have found her!“
“Anthony is a very talented colorist and does fantastic work. He is also very honest and straightforward. I've been seeing him for almost a year and have always had a great experience.“
“I can not say enough wonderful things.
I started wearing wigs 3 months ago. Went to a reputable wig store and got a fairly good wig. I got no advice or guidance. They also did not offer wig cutting services. When I got home and played with it I discovered the wig had a fair amount of permatease. I have found that I dont like it at all. I do not mean to slam that feature. I always had thin, fine hair. So this was just not me. No return. I am stuck with a wig I probably will not wear. $$$
I popped in to North Shore Hair and Wigs. I did not have an appointment and had zero expectations. Kristen was able to give me a few minutes between appointments. I was worried I was cutting into her lunch. I had an appointment at a nearby hospital and saw their sign.
I got so much information, pertinent to my needs, from Kristen in that 10-15 minutes. I did not purchase a wig at that time. She offered to call me and answer some more questions to get me on the right track. I really appreciated that she was not going to inconvenience her scheduled customer. I like that too.
I can not even begin to say how great I feel about doing business here. I am from 2 states away and it is worth the drive to me!!!! Kristen is ordering a wig I settled on and I will drive down when it comes in. I feel so much better informed and I understand the "lingo" for what I want in the future.
Review update. The wig came in a few weeks later. Kristen called because she was concerned that it was not the color profile I was looking for. I had wanted a slightly darker blond than the one I had tried on. The darker one has red tones that I did not want. I so appreciated that she remembered that I had to drive quite a distance. She ordered the original color.
I love it. I feel prettier than I had in a long time. Theblighter color pushed me out of my comfort zone. She did not push at all. I decided it was right for me. A week or so later and I love, love, love my new hair. Idoubt I will go anywhere else in the future.
Specialties: Wigs!“
“loved my hair so much!!! i showed jen one video and she quite literally replicated it on my hair ??? it looks so nice and feels nice to feel good about my hair again!! ?? ♾️/♾️“
“I just had my 2nd appointment at Expressions with Lina, and needed to take the time to write a review because my hair and experience were just that good. I am a city girl that has come to the burbs (love/hate), but finding city quality without having to cross the bridge is my mission, and exressions nails it. SUMMARY:Product wise they are super high end (back bar and for sale) which is a must, but not necessarily hard to find. The second part, which Lina and her co-owner both nail, is continuing education without being in the city, and pairing that with a solid hair background and history so that the trends are achievable but the integrity of your hair is maintained! MY EXPERIENCE: I came to Lina with 12 week grown out roots (I'm a level 5 and have a level 10 color block in the front), and needed a new hairdresser after my regular had a long term injury. She took the project on, but most importantly treated every piece of hair on my head like it was in the front. I had a band from leaving my roots for so long, and during my 2nd appointment she and her co-owner lovingly corrected it, even though Lina had a flight to catch for a familly emergency, they worked together and made my hair absolutely perfect. They also provided honest feedback about a longterm plan for my hair while achieving exactly what I wanted in the meantime. I couldn't be more pleased and I am so happy to have one less errand to run in the city so I can spend time complaining about the suburbs!“
“The best service I have ever received. Kindness, amazing service, and the environment is filled with love. Shoutout to the amazing star studded owner Erin who helped me through a very rough time. I can not recommend this place more!! Will forever be a returning client!“
“I’ve been going to princess since I’ve first started growing out my hair. Let me tell you it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She’s a really talented at what she does and, she always remembers to put the customer first. I only feel comfortable getting my hair retwisted from her because, you don’t come across talent like hers everyday“
“Great service! I felt pampered ❤️ Highly recommend for every service they offer! Absolutely amazing experience!“
“Been going there for years. Just got another great haircut! Salon is also very clean and comfortable.“
“Michael is a rare find - he is a perfectionist in the best possible way, with an attention to detail. He listens intently to the client's expression of what style they are describing they have in mind, because their complete satisfaction is his priority. He is caring and personable and conversation is always a pleasure. I highly recommend Studio 28 West.“
“Loved Helaine Marie & her beautiful salon. She listened to my concerns & gave me an awesome haircut for my wavy & extremely thick hair. In addition, I went back for a full foil & it came out beautiful. I would definitely recommend Helaine Marie & am so happy to have found her salon.“
