GREAT TALENT – The best hairdressers in boston work at acote. Not only is this place not intimidating; they have reasonable prices for being on Newbury st. Not knowing what I wanted. My hairdresser gave me suggestions on what I should do for my face shape and lifestyle. She was brutally honest which i liked because some of the haircuts that I like may not look good for my type of hair or for being in college. As we flipped through pictures, she was very supportive and helped me decide a look that was perfect. Even when i kep... read more

Friendly and Accommodating – I thouroughly enjoyed my experience at Acote. My girlfriend has been getting her haircut, color, waxing etc at this salon for years and has been trying to get me to go to. I am a guys guy and that it was girly to go to a salon. After receiving one of the worst haircuts of my life at a barbershop, i decided that i would listen to her and try it. I will never go back to a barbershop. Guys you do not know what you are missing. They have espresso, wine, a wonderful shampoo and a good haircut really d... read more

painful and scarred waxing – THis was my first time getting my eyebrows waxed in Boston, as I'm from out of state but go to school here. I looked online for salons and spas and reviews and decided this place seemed like the best. THe girl on the phone was very nice while I was making my appointment and when I got there the place was attractive and clean, and the employees were quite welcoming, offering me tea, coffee, or water and giving me magazines to read while waiting. My stylist showed up about 15 minutes after my sched... read more

excellent for weddings – this place is great for weddings or formal functions. My sister is getting married and I want her hair to look great so I asked my friends where to go and they recommended acote. I was not disappointed. We walked in, the place was light, bright and we were offered a ton of free amenities. They even have sangria. They have a beautiful porch and liviely music. they have plenty of seating in order to wait for my sister and I didn't feel any pressure when I was in there. My sister had no clue what she wa... read more

shear genius – this place is amazing. everyone needs to come here. I have never met such nice, upbeat people in boston. everyone was stylish and trendy just minus the attitude. I met the owner who served me whine and made me laugh. My stylist new exactly what I wanted and even offered to show me how to get my best results. I will definately be back and will bring all my girlfriends. I had a great experience. thanks

Very talented stylists, just be prepared to spend some time waiting. – If you don't mind waiting, this is a great salon. The stylists are very talented, and the atmosphere is fun. However, I have yet to be seen at my appointment time and that's a little frustrating.Overall, I would recommend it.

Best in everything! – I am not one to write reviews, but I felt I needed to as a way to thank them for all they did while I was there. After reading the other reviews, I was confident that this was going to be a good place to go and I can honestly say I was not disappointed. Coming in, this place was packed and I thought I was going to have to wait. After less than 10 minutes I was assigned a stylist and immediately he started working on my hair. Since I had no clue what I wanted, he went through the books and found a pictur... read more

Allison even showed me how to acheieve this look at home. I am so greatful that I have finally learned to blowdry my hair on my own. I leave my ... read more

NEVER GOING ANYWHERE BUT ACOTE – I've been to other salons on Newbury before, I have been to newer, more expensive salons, but I have never found a place as completely satisfying as Acote. Staff (Alex), service (everyone), extras (cappaccino) all make the experience memorable. I love the music, the parties, the atmosphere. Please open up an Acote in New York so I don't have to go so long between highlights. I can't wait to see Miami Safar.
