Amazing Transformation – I have had very fine hair my entire life that I was unable to grow long, due to drying, spitting and looking stringy. I had heard about hair extensions and seen how great they looked on stars like jessica simpson, eva longoria, etc., but they always seemed so expensive and out of reach. Then I heard that Studio 291 was newly trained in the SoCap hair extension process. After recomendation, I called for my free consultation. Cindy ,the salon owner quickly fit me in for a consultation where she informe... read more

Awesome -- Love my cut – I got a hair cut and really like my style. Cindy gives really good advice and she knew what would suit my hair which got damaged by heat and coloring by a dumb salon on Newbury street last year. I am going back very soon.

What a great find! – Great , fun, casual place with terrific service! This place surprised me by how great the cuts and color were and yet had such reasonable prices and wonderful deals for return customers. But perhaps what brings me back is the warmth and humor of the stylists. It's like a big fun family and you are welcome to be a part of it if you are in the mood for some lively chatting.

Great cut and color with Kelly! – Studio 291 is friendly,convenient, and affordable, but the best part about the place is my stylist, Kelly. I have been going to Kelly for quite a while now, and have never been more pleased with the recent cut and color she gave me. I received 10 compliments in one day on the color! Kelly is great at cutting your hair in a way that is always flattering to your face shape and hair texture. It is much easier to style a great cut in these hot summer months! I would definitely recommend trying t... read more

Business response:

Kelly is a fabulous hairdresser. I love her attention to detail!!!!! She always takes the extra time to make sure both the color and cut are perfect for the client. Her work is always flattering.

Great highlights and cut – I just moved to the Metrowest area a year ago from NYC area and could not find a place for color near my home. I tried two expensive salons nearby and was not pleased at all with the honey-blonde highlights. As a last resort I made an apptm. at a salon on Newbury St - but changed my mind when I read the online reviews about Studio 291 in Newton. Cindy , the owner, spent hours correcting my bad highlights and also gave me a great trim. It is the best highlighting and cut that I've had in many years.... read more

Blonde highlights w/cut – This was my second visit with Cindy. The first time I was pleased. She is very nice - everyone at the salon is. Cindy was able to squeeze me in last minute and I guess this was her off day. In one instant the long hair that I used to have and was so happy with was gone. I had asked for highlights and I now have one side of my head with the right color, and the other (left side) with shadows and lines. I had asked for around two inches cut - even showed her where - saying "below the shoulder" (my hai... read more

Business response:

We are a small salon that prides itself on customer service. As the saying goes, we are a small fish in a very big pond. So to compete, we bend over backwards for our clients. We stay late, come in early, or do everything we can to squeeze the client in so it works for them. We also make every effort to listen to our clients. If you read our other reviews you will see positive comments regarding how well we do listen. This client?s version of what occurred is different than what I remember. I did only take off 2 inches. She ... read more

Inconvenient Location, Surprisingly great services! – Mind you, I drive a lot for a living and this place was in a rather awkward location that took a while to find. However, when I got there I was pleasantly surprised by the urban feel to the salon. I was there for a one-process and a conditioning treatment - both of which turned out fantastically. If you don't have much time, I'd say at least try the conditioning treatments. I left with unbelievably soft and the conditioning treatment lasted a good 3-4 weeks! The staff is ... read more

Best Hair color and Friendliest Staff – Studio 291 is the best place to get your hair done. I am a very low maintenance hair person and I was looking for a place that made me feel comfortable and offer professional advice. Studio 291 is where I got it. Cindy helped me with my hair color and gave me great suggestions based on my needs. Everybody that works there is extremely nice and makes you feel welcome. Your very satisfied customer, Megan.

Best haircut and service ever!!!! – I've been working construction for many years now and I always wamted a haircut that looked just as good "dressed down" as it does if I go out for the night. I usually go to barber shops but they lack in style and its just too cut and dry. I've gone to hair salons and the ones I've been to I've never walked away completely satisfied....and I've always been extremely clear with what I wanted. Well anyway, I had just gotten off a job in Newton and I was driving by Studio 291 and I thought I ... read more
