From the moment I entered this salon I felt comfortable. This is a difficult feat on Newbury, considering everyone thinks they are better then everyone else. My stylist was very nice and talked to me as if we had known eachother for years. Usually when I go to a salon, it's mildly uncomfortable talking to a stylist about the weather...or shampoo..or..whatever else is going on. She was genuinely nice, and it definately helped me feel at ease as a first timer here. She asked me what products I used and some background info on my hair, then explained what she would use for my specific hair type. The shampoo was done personally by her, which is rare at salons, usually they hand you over to someone else for shampooing. She cut my hair to my exact specifications. I asked about color, and she told me what she thought would be best for my face regarding color, if i decided to come back at a later date. I was amazed that she actually told me NOT to color my hair in the summer, as it is better to do in the winter, because your hair sees less sun. Most stylists would have just made you schedule an appointment so you'd spend more money. My hair looked great, felt healthy, and she styled it with a blowdryer and straightening iron afterwards. I think I found my new salon, I plan to be a regular.
Pros: Relaxing and comfortable, great service
Cons: Not much of a waiting area
