Best Eyebrow!!! 11/29/2011

I was at Trader Joes and when I came out a girl offered me a card with a 5 dollar eyebrow wax on it. I normally go to Boston for my brows but I did need it so I tried Josie. She did such a great job I feel like J.Lo. Will go back again. more

What a find!! 11/25/2011

After reading some reviews I was skeptical but wanted to give it a try since it is so close to where I work. Glad I did. Gentiana offers a unique atmosphere of elegance, comfort and calm in the middle of Peabody. The services I received were top-notch, and the staff is friendly and professional. I've spent far more for far less, and never enjoyed the level of luxury and convenience that Gentiana Salon offers. I look forward to my appointments, because I know I'll walk away each time looking -- and feeling -- fabulous. more

Gentiana Needs a Make Over Enviroment & Attitude 11/17/2011

Gentiana Salon has a lot of potential. 1. the location is excellent. 2. The salon itself is fairly large. However it is run very poorly and needs an attitude and environment make over. Here are my complaints I think the online coupons where a great marketing scheme, however Gentiana does not have 1. enough manicurist/pedicurist 2. enough colors for the clients to choose from 3. happy staff. Next time when offering a deal make sure you are staffed fully and have a true pedicure station with enough nail polish.\r The salon is owned by a husband and wife team. They are a bit pushy and are the first to state how great they are. There is an old wise saying ""people who brag have to, people who don more

Great mani and pedicure in a pinch 11/10/2011

I went here because I needed a quick nail fix for an event I Had to go to last night. I ended up using the shelac and it is so cool. It looks like a million bucks. I got so many compliments and it didn't ever smudge. I will be back In two weeks to get it done again and try a new color. more

Not fair 11/3/2011

I want to start by saying I've never been in this establishment before but however I have plenty of friends who have gone there. I'm in awe reading these negative reviews and these personal attacks to the business employees/owners do people have anything better to do than bad mouth hardworking people? All I hear is wamp wamp wamp if you have a complaint write directly to the owner why try and trash the business? Hasnt the economy hurt people enough. Seriously, get a life more

omg.....absolutely terrible!!!! 11/3/2011

its amazing how many phony ""GOOD"" reveiws there are for this establishment!!!!what a terrible salon!!!! from the start....walking in you are greeted by a creepy man who is arrogant!!! when i made my appointment for a mani/pedi to begin with...i talked to someone named Chris. well...apparently my appointment WASNT scheduled!! an d to make matters worse...he completely denied that i talked with him...but i could WAIT 15 minutes and someone would take me. 40 minutes later some girl with an attitude takes me to a very uncomfortable so called ""pedicure/manicure"" area! the girl comes back with a bowl like i make salads in.....quite strange!! and throughout my entire service, the employee complained on how she is a stylist and is forced to do these services due to the bosses being money hungry and selling coupons across every site possible!! i was annoyed and frankly embarrassed for the girl!!!Not to mention...every 5 minutes some female with bushy black hair kept whispering in her ear...how rude!!!pedicure was supposewd to be an hour......never even hit 25 min!! no massage.....horrible old polish...never completely dried...reall clumpy. Now its time for manicure....well.....the girl then tels me that all it entails is pusshing cuticles back (after a 5 sec soak) and paint. hate to tell you but a MANICURE service DOES include cutting cuticles!!!as with the pedi....no massage!!! so much for a relaxing ""90"" minute mani/pedi!! what a joke!!! dont waste your time or money here.....and i only gave it one star because there is not an option for zero!! more

Disgraceful 10/26/2011

One star is being generous. If I could rate this negatively I absolutely would. This was the worst salon I've ever been to and the worst shellac manicure I've EVER had in my entire life!!!!!!!!11 I went to Gentiana because I had a buywithme coupon to use for a shellac manicure and regular pedicure. It hasn't even been one full week and a large chunk of the manicure just peeled off my thumb!! I am outraged. As soon as I left my mediocre appointment I considered writing a negative review, but thought I wouldn't bother and it was a coupon and I shouldn't complain. But this is ridiculous!! I have had regular manicures last longer than this and it's a shellac manicure!! The manicurist kept raving about how great it was and how it would last for at least 2 weeks if not more ... clearly she was full of it. I didn't even do anything to cause it to chip. I haven't been washing dishes, washiing my hands excessively, I've been doing NOTHING and this is the result?!! WHAT A JOKE!! DO NOT EVER GO TO GENTIANA!! it was a nightmare trying to make the appointment and the salon itself looks like it was just opened. It is so sparse inside, they don't even have comfortable chairs for the manicures and pedicures, let alone even a bowl with jets to soak your feet! I am so annoyed at not only the service, but the results. I wish I could get my money back. more

Great service and AWESOME highlight! Just love Jenna 10/8/2011

OMG ~ I live in Danvers and this was my FIRST, and not my last time at the Gentiana Salon, Spa and Boutique in Peabody. I was greeted with a BIG smile from Christopher. I was early for my appointment but was able to relax, and sit in there waiting area. Jenna, my hairstylist was very personable and gave me a hair consultation. We decided on a CARAMEL highlight over my brunette hair color. The highlight is just radiant. I couldn't be happier. I can't thank Jenna enough. My sister will be cancelling her appointment with her salon to meet with Jenna. I feel 10 years younger. Awesome.... D~ more

Great service and perfect color! 9/30/2011

I live in Danvers, but have been getting my hair cut and colored on Newbury Street in Boston for 7 years. I decided it was time to try a local salon. I happened to have a coupon for Gentiana's in Peabody. The salon is very clean and looks like the high end salon I used to visit in Boston. My hairstylist, Didi was personable and friendly. She did such a great job...and I'm a pretty fussy customer. The color is perfect! Thank you so much. My hair has never looked so fabulous.-Tina more

Great time great service 9/26/2011

I had at a fantastic experience at Gentiana. For starters, I did use a groupon that for $79 gave you massage, hair masque, gloss treatment, and cut and blow out. The salon itself has a small frontage so if you arent watching for it you can miss it all together. My Massage was just phenomenal with Alicia. My stylist was Stephie and she did an amazing job on my hair, which is long and extremely thick. I brought in pictures of Leighton Meester's layers and a few other pictures to convey how I wanted my hair. Stephie spent over an hour cutting the layers into my hair, alternating between blow drying and then cutting more. My hair looks and feels great and once I am able to afford a non-groupon price I will return! more

Excellent Experiance! 9/25/2011

I visited this salon for the first time a couple weeks ago. My experiance there was excellent everyone was so friendly. I got a trim and color by Gena and it came out amazing ! I have a wedding coming up next March and im Deffinatly booking it here ! more

So Gooooood! 9/25/2011

Got an Eversave coupon for a massage a few months ago and wanted some time to myself to relax.so I Called for an appointment last saturday and got an appointment on this saturday. I Enjoyed myself very much as the massage was very relaxing and she got all my knots out( I sit at a desk all day so I was so tight in my back). The room was smallish but once laying down it did not matter. I will be back next month. more

Best price around 8/30/2011

I just need to share how amazing my botox was at this salon ! I've been to so many places but Marshas the best I've had. When I pulled up I was a bit nervous from the outside it looks so small but you walk in and it's so huge it's truly a little hidden jewel and I decided to get my hair done by Steph it was amazing. I look and feel 10 years younger :-) more

Owner review responses are enough to turn me off... 8/21/2011

So, I noticed that there is an Eversave deal for this salon today and decided to check out reviews to see if it was worth purchasing. I have to say that, whilst the majority of customer reviews on this website are very positive for the services offered, I would not go to this salon based on the owner responses to negative reviews. Whether or not the owner agrees with the negative review, it is bad business to become defensive and badmouth customers--what ever happened to the customer is always right? I have seen bad reviews for other salons which the owner responded to with an offer to return and try the service again at a discounted rate for instance, and simple apologies for what might have (or not have) been an off day. Either way, these places come across as much more professional and I am therefore much more likely to go there for beauty services. I do want to emphasize, I have never been to Gentiana myself; the beauty services could be wonderful, as could the customer service, but I thought it important for the business to note how their responses to reviews on this website are turning at least this customer off. I highly recommend rethinking your approach to negative reviews so that they better reflect you as a business owner, and your business. I for one would not be interested in returning to a place which belittled me for being dissatisfied with their servies. more

Loved my hair and makeup. 8/21/2011

I booked Gentiana based on online reviews for my hair and makeup for my son's wedding in the area. I was not disappointed. Our bridal party spent an afternoon there for mani/pedis. The salon was very welcoming for a large group, providing mimosas and sangria, and doing all they could to cycle a large party through. My daughter and I went back the next day for make up and blowouts before the wedding. Not only did I get a great blowout and make up; I also found some great jewelry that earned many compliments, on the order of: You look stunning!!! I don't live in the Peabody area, but would recommend this salon based on our experience with them. more

Wow 8/7/2011

I just want to take a minute to tell you guys about this establishment I just booked a wedding this week at gentianas we were a group of ten girls and not just your average easy going girls. Were all very hard to please we didn't know what to expect because none of us had been there before but a family friend recommended it so I decided to take a shot. After a few minutes of being there I over heard they were doing another group of eight for a wedding the same day I immediately panicked shortly after I realized I had nothing to be worried about. What a service , they did such a great job with our hair and most importantly I was amazed at how they were able to accommodate so smooth with so many people and they kept smiles on there faces the whole time. The whole time I felt like I was the only person there everything went wonderful I'll never forget my first but defiantly not last experience there. I truely thank you gena you not only made me look great but you also made my day more
