I’ve been seeing Brittany for almost 10 years!! She’s a blonde expert and the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve stayed with her all these years. Everyone at Kent Newton is always so welcoming and kind!! The atmosphere is fun and artistic but also relaxing. I leave feeling like a super star every time. Brittany is magic at what she can do for self esteem, knowing what looks and what doesn’t and she’ll definitely make you laugh while you’re there and leave feeling like new person. Go see her and you will 100% too!! ❤️
Taylor did a great job on my cut and color. Always a nice experience at the salon. Professional, personable and runs on time! A pleasure going to Kent Newton Salon.
I’ve been going to Amanda at Kent Newton for over three years now and she never misses! My hair has never been longer, softer, or shiner in my life. Amanda does my cuts, blow dries, and treatments. One of favorite things about her is that she always respect the trim I’m looking for especially because I want to keep my length. I’ve been to too many places that cut more than I ask for, not here! She takes her time washing (including a nice scalp massage), blow drying, and styling. I really appreciate how she doesn’t rush through any step of the process like other stylists that want you in and out and you feel like your hair isn’t washed properly. I always leave feeling so good about my hair. Honestly, I know I could go to her and have her do my hair and leave without me checking the mirror once. That’s how much I trust her! She gives honest opinions, takes my preferences seriously, and knows how to work with wavy hair which is a huge plus! She makes sure my cuts and layers work well with my natural curls and when it’s styled. Thanks, Amanda!
Edited from 1 star to 4. Edited to add: The salon reached out and offered a redo service at no charge. Although slightly awkward, I agreed to come back in and sincerely appreciated the gesture. Courtney, the new stylist I was booked with, was extremely nice and took her time. After she flat ironed my hair to assess the situation, I saw my original haircut was far worse than I initially realized. It was honestly so disheartening because I don’t know how a professional stylist could have done such an awful job without it being intentional. After 45 minutes of cutting, Courtney let me know she’d done the best she could without having to give me bangs and cut a significant amount of length off. It had taken a lot of work to make it presentable. Considering the original state, she did a fantastic job and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I also appreciate the salon reaching out to correct the work of the original stylist. While I won’t be a repeat client, I’d happily recommend Courtney to anyone asking. Thanks, Courtney! I feel so much better. **** Disappointed after seeing all the glowing reviews. My overall experience at the salon was fine (although my appointment from start to finish, including wash, cut and dry was only 30 minutes…), but this cut does not look even remotely like a professional did it. No amount of styling can cover the chopped up appearance. It feels like my hair was intentionally sabotaged????
Kent Newton Salon is a gem of excellence in Boston. The stylists are some of Boston's most sought after and vets of the Newbury St salons. Also an all around wonderful experience to be there. Feels like coming home as guest are offered, delicious coffee, tea, wine or soft drinks. Settle in and enjoy the best magazines for browsing while you sit on comfy chairs. For cut, color, pre-event or whatever, wonderful, reliable results in the best setting! I've been a customer for 10+ years. I watch many happy people do their thing at Kent Newton's salon.
