Skip Acote – Acote is a seemingly beautiful European styled oasis tucked in an upstairs loft on Newbury st. The look and feel are what got me hooked initially to this salon. My first experience was great. I had a stylist that gave me a great cut . After referring coutless people to this stylist, she started to get lax in her services. There would be a 30-40 minute wait each time I arrived for a service. often times delaying me way back in my schedule. There would never be an apology or an offer to say give me a complimentary... read more

Business response:

Thank you for your review. Without people telling me about their experience here I would never know how to fix a particular situation. I am very sorry that your stylist did not live up to your expectations. Let me assure you that it is not our policy leave Clients waiting for extended periods of time, nor do I condone a stylist ever having a negative attitude with a client. My family has been in this business for over thirty years, by providing wonderful service, with integrity. That being said, I would like to offer you a g... read more

Fabulous salon – I'm not used to writing reviews, but i had such a great experience at this salon that i couldn't resist. The people are fabulous, the hairdressers really know what they are doing. You feel like a million bucks from the first time you enter until you leave and even after your hair looks fabulous and you just want to be out so everyone can see your new do'. I have never been more pleased and I have been to a lot of places; however my loyalty now belongs to Susan at acote. She's fun and makes me look and feel g... read more

You Must GO to SALON ACOTE – Everything about this place was well planned out. the name is cool, the location is great, the prices are affordable, they have a killer roof deck, everyone is sweet and their color and cuts are amazing.

They also teach you the best ways to style it and what you should and shouldn't be doing with your hair. I am sooooo glad i discovered this place and have already told all of my fri... read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE – If you have curly hair, this is the salon for you. Not only are all the stylists great at what they do, but the atmosphere is fun, everyone gets along and you feel like you are a part of the team. They really care about your hair. I was going out for my birthday on a saturday night and the hair dresser blowdried my hair perfectly. Alex, the stylist then said that he wanted to flat iron my hair, free of charge to make sure it last and to get that last kink out. I was not only greatful because it was c... read more

IM NEVER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE – Look no further ladies. I have found the best salon in boston. There is no need to continue your search. Not only is it a salon at high end newbury street, but it is reasonably priced which is very hard to find. I have been coloring my hair for quite some time and for some reason my old hairdresser has just been making it darker and darker....it got to the point where my hair was jet black and it was no longer a look that i wanted to go for. I wanted to be a light brunette and have a softer loo... read more
