BEST SALON....EVER!!! – I'm not normally one to go to websites and post reviews. After my recent visits to this salon, I felt the need to do so. I'm very easy-going when it comes to my hair and when choosing a stylist. All I want is someone to do a good job and I really want to get what I pay for. I've been living in the Boston area for a little over 3 years and I've been to 4 different salons before visiting Athena. I didn't necessarily have awful experiences but I definitely wasn't getting anything to talk about. I went in... read more

Micayla is the ONLY stylist i will go to now!! WOW! – I had an amazing experience at Athen! I am VERY picky aboout my hair and went in there just for a quick trim and a blowdry. My stylist was Micayla and she was beyond fantastic. I loved how she styled it and she never took her focus off me or my hair. I felt confident enough with her to book again and have her dye my hair. Normally i get very figity in the chair but I was relaxed as ever with her coloring my hair! She went to the Aveda Inst. in New York and REALLY knows th... read more

Customer Burned!!! – The ONLY good thing about Athena Aveda is they are pretty accomodating when scheduling last minute waxing appointments but it ends there. I was in the salon for a routine brow and upper lip waxing. To start, I was there 10 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment when I was told that they appointment before me had yet to arrive. I waited an additional ten minutes for this other customer to arrive to have "Christine" take the appointment that I had arrived for. I waited yet another 15 minutes for her to ... read more

Amazing Olga but salon operations leave a bad taste... – I had been going to Athena Aveda faithfully, about every 6 weeks, for about 2.5 years (started going when it was still called Linear Aveda). Olga gives amazing haircuts that are chic and flattering. Her chair-side manner is also terrific; she definitely listens. However, Olga is the only good thing left at Athena Aveda. The new owner seems to have little respect for the salon's clients and shows poor business etiquette. One of the interactions I had with her was memora... read more

Olga is the best! – Olga is a fabulous stylist. I used to bounce back and forth between stylists, but am loyal to Olga because she does such a great job! She gives my hair amazing texture. Long, short, it doesn't matter- she can handle it. She's also a smart woman, so you get great conversation along with your haircut. The salon space is a bit crowded, but I can ignore the atmosphere when I get such a great cut.

Great salon and spa – I went to this place because it came recommended to me by more than one person. The space is absolutely beautiful. There is even a downstairs that you would never knew existed if you didnt go down there. I had my hair cut and colored and I couldnt be happier. This is the best salon in the back bay by far. The stylist took the time to do exactly what I wanted. I have never had so many compliments on my hair than I do now.

disappointing return visit – have been to aveda several times and in the past have always enjoyed my visits. last year i went with my friend while she had her hair done and the stylists did a good job so i booked an appointment and the stylists did an equally good job highlighting my hair. however, when i went in today for a highlight and a cut it was one of my WORST salon experiences ever. when i booked my appointment i explained to the receptionist that i wanted a trim, highlights and a root touch up. when i sat down to ta... read more

Such a great group of people, new ownership shouldnt matter – I have been going to this salon for the past couple years while I was in school. I have since graduated and moved on. Renee was my stylist there and she is amazing! I wish I could fly her out to do my hair because every time, its just the way I wanted it. She went to the Aveda Institute so she really knows the product line and she is always so friendly and sweet. I have also had my hair dried and styled by Kim, Craig, Lauren and Scot and I have been very happy wit... read more

Best experience EVER. – It was finally nice to go into a salon and feel welcomed. I got a facial by Arlene, mani-pedi by Claudia and hair styled by Kim. I felt great. My friend recomended it for brazilian wax by Christina; next time. The place looked great since they changed ownership. So much more hip and CLEAN. Loved it!
