hello gorgeous – Just moving to boston from New Hampshire, I felt like i didn't fit in yet. I needed a boston makeover. I had heard wonderful things about salon acote so i decided to give it a try. I little hesitant before i left, my fears were left at the door after entering this beautiful salon. The receptionist was so kind and inviting that my fears were at ease. She gave me some books to look through so i could get some ideas. I decided that i would leave it up to the stylist. the stylist said that my hair was way too lo... read more

no more barber – Guys need to rethink going to barbers. I had the best experience at Acote. My girlfriend dragged me to the salon, because she hates my long hair, i finally agreed to go and it was the best move i made. I thought a newbury salon would be very uptight and girly, but i love acote. Not only can you have a glass of wine and sit out on their beautiful porch but you also get a fantastic cut. No more buzzers for me. Going to acote is a fantastic experience. Alex was great. He knows sports, food, the city, etc. It wa... read more

A Schick Razor and soap would have made me look better than Acote did. – Alright, first of all, to be fair, the reason I went to Acote was because(cringe)I tried to make my hair lighter with a CVS brand of hair dye and needed it to be fixed.Let me defend myself before you make any judgements:I've been living in Boston for going on seven years now, and not ONCE have I ever been satisfied with ANY Boston salon-done haircolor, so I decied to see if I could do it myself. I can't. Okay: I've tried multiple places, from cheap litt... read more

Business response:

It sounds like your experience at salon Acote was very negative, that should never happen. I am very sorry that you were not happy with your hair, for $240, or any amount of money you should love your hair when you leave. The reason we are in this business is too make people beuatiful and to make everyone feel good about the way that they look. I hope that one day you could give us another chance to make you happy, and show you what kind of service we are capable of providing. I invite you to make an appointment with me, Ale... read more

Best Service – Every time i go into acote, i come out feeling confident, and beautiful. I have seen many of the stylists there and even though i do not often write reviews, i just needed to say that this is the best hair salon i have ever been to. All the stylists are incredible. They have a passion for what they do, they understand many different techniques and they teach the client how to style their own hair. They showed me this flat iron that is also a curling iron (the ghd flat iron) was the best thing i ever purchased.... read more

Did a child cut my hair? – First time to Acote Salon and last. The atmosphere was nice, I was treated with respect. They gave me a glass of wine, thank God. That is about all the good I have to say. I went to this salon because I wanted to try something new. I have had the same haircut for a while and I just wanted to try something a little more stylish. My hair was a little longer than my shoulders and I asked her to cut it to just below my chin. It is sooo uneven! I was watching her face and she cut one peice to short and ... read more

I love my new found curls.. thanks Danielle – If anyone is ever in the need for a great go out look, you must see Danielle at Acote. I have seen her for many events, whether it is for a wedding updo or my birthday, she does it all and always makes me look fabulous. I am very fussy with my hair and she is the only hair dresser that i have found that understands me as well as my hair. Even with my stick straight hair, she manages to give me those soft bouncy ringlets like the movie stars and I feel like a celebrity when i walk... read more

BEST SALON ON NEWBURY- HANDS DOWN!!! – Recently, after receiving the worst hair style of my life, i decided to give newbury street one more chance and i am so glad i did. I chose acote after reading their reviews and looking at their modern website and decided i would try it out. Not only was the receptionist on the phone so sweet, when i entered the salon, they hung up my coat for my, made me feel comfortable and really took the time to consult with me to find out what i really wanted. The place was extremely clean and they... read more

this horrible new hair made me cry for days....... – first, it's a VERY crowded and noisy salon, the space is dirty, the floor was full of hair which kind of grossed me out . the atmosphere was bad, people are not too polite or nice. I asked to color my hair, and after sitting there for hours, it came out NOTHING LIKE WHAT I ASKED FOR. and i mean, NOTHING! it was TOTALLY different than what I wanted and I was shocked to see the result, I thought something went wrong. and as i expressed my concerns, all of the sudden, every s... read more
