Thank God I Took A Chance =) – I went to Xena's yesterday--after scouting a few salons, I liked their atmosphere the best. I figured I'd take a chance on somewhere new--and THANK GOD I did! I am INFINITELY pleased with my new haircut--I went to Darlene, who was recommended by the receptionist, and she was amazing. I had a few pictures and ideas but not anything too specific, and as stupid as this sounds, she totally understood my "vision" and that I was scared to end up with "mom hair." She cut my hair dry and followed with ... read more

Thus Spake the Regular – I have been going to Helena for years now and she cuts my hair perfectly, so much so that it grows out well. Xena's is a wonderful, low-key gem of a salon with reasonable prices and consistently great value per strand o hair.

Amazing – I rarely have a good experience at salons. I always end up going home and adjusting the do. The only two experiences I've had that were positive were at Xena's and I am officially going to make myself a Xena regular. They know how to cut hair (without cutting off all your hair). They know how to cut and treat curly hair (instead of making you look like a wild lion or an electrified crazy lady). They know how to treat you (coffee, tea, water, attention, smiles, thank you notes mailed afterwards, gift bags, etc..). T... read more

Amazing... – This quaint little salon is perfect... I was recommended by a friend to see Megan since I was having a hard time finding a decent haircut for an affordable price. She was only a few months in as a hairstylist, but as an Aveda grad she did an incredible job, and only for $50! Everyone was so friendly and the environment was comfortable and casual-chic, none of the snotty city types of other places. Xena, the owner, apparently has had this place open for 15 years and trains the stylists personally as assistants fo... read more

A happy surprise! – A friend of mine recommended Xena's to me. I was a little nervous about going to a new place, because you never know...but I tried them. I saw Darlene. She did an incredible job on my hair, with only my verbal description of what I did and didn't want to go on. I am so happy with the results! And the price is amazing. $45 for a haircut that looks better than the one I've been paying 3x as much for. I will definitely be back.

Talk about customer Service... – This place really is a hidden gem! It is small, cozy, cute and you are treated like a star. I had highlights (2 colors) and it turned out beautifully! Not to mention that it only cost me $125!!!! The price will vary based upon your hair and what you are getting, but this place is amazing! When I left they gave me a goody-bag with a free brush, color lasting shampoo and some shine enhancer. One week later I got a thank you post card and a follow up phone call...with this level of service, it m... read more

Low-key atmosphere and high style at this Village veteran. – The Scene Chances are you've walked past this below-ground salon without ever taking note. But that's Xena's M.O.: It's been around for 10 years and doesn't seem to have renovated since. Maybe that's because the emphasis is on you, not the interior. Xena's namesake has 30 years logged in the beauty biz, and for much of that time, she has held the title of senior educator for Framesi color. No surprise, then, that the latest hair styling and coloring trends surface ... read more

Relaxing... – This salon is a little hidden gem. The atmosphere is very relaxing and if you allow yourself to, it feels like you are in the comfort of your own home (if your home had a hair salon). And I highly suggest taking advantage of the training nights. Great staff!
