Services
Women's Cut
Our precision women's cuts combine technical expertise with personalized consultation to create flattering styles. Using Goldwell Color Lock technology maintains vibrancy between visits. Each appointment includes scalp massage and styling instruction for at-home maintenance.
Balayage
Hand-painted balayage techniques create natural, sun-kissed highlights with seamless grow-out. Our colorists customize formulas using Olaplex to strengthen hair during the lightening process. Maintenance intervals typically extend to 12-16 weeks.
Brazilian Blowout
This keratin-based treatment reduces frizz and curl while strengthening hair structure. Lasting 10-12 weeks, it allows immediate washing and styling post-treatment. Our stylists use formaldehyde-free formulas for client safety.
Wedding Styling
Bridal consultations include trial sessions and style longevity testing. Our team specializes in up-dos that withstand photography sessions and receptions. We offer on-site services for wedding parties at all locations.
Kerastase Treatments
Customized Kerastase Fusio Dose treatments address specific hair concerns through in-salon applications. These high-performance formulas target damage, dryness, or thinning with immediate visible results. Recommendations include at-home maintenance products.

My stylist is Shannon O'Brien at the Andover location. I felt compelled to write a review because of the absolute excellent services I recently received from her! I love being a blondie and Shannon made my hair dreams a reality! I will definitely be booking again with her. Not to mention the best shampoo service from a salon I've ever had.! I got a full foil, hair cut, and gloss treatment and really enjoyed Shannon's personality, plus I felt safe and comfortable with the way the salon is handling COVID precautions. 10/10 would recommend!

I have been seeing Shannon O'Brien for a long time and she has consistently nailed every hair goal I've ever had for myself! From long, to short, and every color I've ever wanted. I'm always so pleased with my hair and leave the salon smiling! Shannon is professional and makes a point to educate you on your hair and what she's doing along the way. She even has helped me learn to style new cuts when I get them! I highly recommend seeing Shannon for all of your hair needs- she is sure to impress!

I go to this salon to see Shannon O'Brien, she is so personable and fun to talk to. My appointment usually takes about 3 hours. (I have a lot of hair) She is always checking in if I need anything and making sure I am comfortable. She is so extremely talented. I have followed her since her career began and I will continue to follow Shannon wherever her path may lead her!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality I was recommended by my friend to see Christina W. and I couldn't be happier! She did a Brazilian Blowout (which was worth every Penny) and a few weeks later cleaned up my roots to make my very difficult hair look AMAZING! Christina is friendly and professional! I highly recommend her services! Service: Hair coloring
