I have been to Gentiana several times and have had my hair transformed from very dark brunette to a beige blonde - it was a process, as I needed to go through color correction to get to the blonde I wanted. \r
\r
I have to say Gena and Michelle have given me some of the best cuts/styles I have ever had. And they have some great products - Jealous line is my favorite.\r
\r
They work with you and listen to what your vision is while giving you ""real world"" feedback based on your hair's natural tendencies among other factors. Basically providing the pros and cons of what you're asking for. You're given all the information you need to make the right decision based on your hair's texture, your skin tone, etc. \r
\r
Gena is very patient and communicates your ""wants"" back to you to make sure she gives you what you want and you leave happy. \r
\r
Stop by and take a look at the clients as they are leaving - they all look great!\r

A little history: I just started going to Gentiana salon shortly after my regular stylist (of 3 years) moved and they opened their new Peabody Salon/Spa. \r
\r
I stopped in one Saturday after a shopping trip to TJMAXX and Trader Joe's, just before they were closing, and one of the Stylists gave me a litte tour which included facial room, pedicure/manicure room and spray tan room. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the layout was modern, clean and spacious. I liked that Gentiana is owned/operated by a husband (who can be found at the front desk occasionally) and wife (who is one of the headlining stylists). The other thing that impressed me was the attention they give to training the newer staff while having them assisting the top stylists.\r
\r
Stop by and check it out, I'm happy I did.
Pros: experienced, personable staff and open on Sunday
