Love my Hair!! – My daughter found this salon. She has been going to Cindy for a couple of years now. She kept telling me that I needed a new look and to make an appointment with Cindy. For xmas she gave me a gift certificate. (I took the hint) I finally made my appointment and went to see Cindy last week. I have to tell you I was very nearvous. I have had the same haircut that would be easier to measure in decades than years. I have also never had my hair colored. Cindy greeted me at the door. She had me sit in her chair an... read more

Excellent service - would give it 4 1/2 stars if possible. – I went to Cindy this last weekend for my first time to get a wash, cut and process for the $75 first time coupon. I just moved to the area and normally go to high end salons like MichaelJohn in London, but was looking for something a little more affordable this time round. Reading the reviews Studio 291 looked like a quality but affordable salon. I had an excellent visit! I arrived about 20 minutes early for my appointment but was immediately ushered back for a was... read more

Great color and cut – I started going to Cindy at Studio 291 a little more than a year ago after moving to the area from NYC. I read the reviews and made an appointment with Cindy. I was shocked that I could get an appointment with the salon owner and not have to wait months on end. Cindy was fantastic. She gave me a spectacular cut and does great with my color. She's very talented and will listen to any concerns her clients may have. I'm really really glad I found her and am a loyal client. I'm just waiting for her to get a... read more

Business response:

Mixed feelings – I am writing this review because I depended on this site's reviews prior to making my appt. I had been going to Salon Marc Harris on Newbury Street. I booked a full highlight and cut with Cindy. She was great. Easy to talk to and she had good suggestions about my highlights. The salon is very small, but quaint. I was there on a saturday morning and most of the clients were over 70. I thought that was wonderful. It felt like this salon had a real commitment to it's neighborhood. Cindy did a nice job on my hig... read more

Great new Look! – I had been going to the same hairdresser for 8 years. She recently had a baby and decided not to come back to work. I was now left to find someone new. I had noticed Studio 291; I drive by everyday on my way to work. One night on the way home I stopped in and made an appointment. I was telling my concerns to the receptionist, about trying someone new when the owner, Cindy, came over. She sat and consulted with me. She made feel very comfortable about my appointment with her. When I returned for my appointme... read more

Business response:

We do our best to listen to our clients and more importantly remember the conversations that we had. No client at Studio 291 is just a number. We pay attention to the details. Hopefully more of our clients will be stopped on the street because there hair is as fabulous!

BEST HIGHLIGHTS EVER!!!! – Kelly is great! Always does a great job on my hair ? Highlights and cut. I have had many disappointing experiences before coming to this salon. Kelly is very personable, and committed to make her customers pleased with the results. My first time at the salon, Kelly had to spend lot of time on color correction and did an awesome job of getting the color highlights and style I wanted. I always get many compliments from co-workers and friends. Several times people have stopped me on the street to ask ... read more

Business response:

Love my Hair Extensions!!! – I have always had long hair. This past April I decided to chop it all off. I immediately regretted it. I missed my long hair!!!!! The new cut was cute, but not me. I met with Cindy and had a consultation for hair extensions. She sat with me for a half an hour to forty-five minutes and gave me all the pros and cons that were involved with the extensions. She let me know the type of commitment they would be. You could tell she took pride in her work and was not just looking for the quick sell. I de... read more

10 minute haircut for 35 bucks, AWFUL – Maybe this place is good for coloring, but for cuts it's worse than any "super cut"!!! After reading reviews here, I was extremly excited to go to this place. I got in at 7pm, they washed my hair, I was in the chair at 7:10 and at 7:20 my haircut was done. I was so shocked and outraged that I coundn't even say a word!!! I normally don't make scenes, so I just left Cindy $7 tip and left. Cindy was very slow when cutting my hair, and it felt as if she was picking out some random spots on... read more

Business response:

I am very sorry you didn't like the cut. As a result of this incident we have now made it policy to receive a blow-dry with your haircut. It's important to see the hair dry and how it moves. I know that this conversation with you and you refused the blow-dry. The time line is also a bit of an exaggeration. (10 min...Seriously?) I did speak to you the next day concerning the over-charge and apologized. We have a new receptionist and there must have been some confusion. Your credit card was immediately refunded the money. I no... read more
