Studio Hair Design

Not a great Salon. I was going for a short time to the Owner, Linda for my Hair Color and though she did a fairly good job with color up until my last appointment which I believe she purposely did a bad job on the color. She had my Hair rinsed by one of her other Hair Dressers who while taking off remover on my brows, splashed me and my eyes burnt for awhile that day I was going in for surgery a few days later however received a message from the Owner cancelling next appointment. Since I was planning to go elsewhere — it worked out to my benefit as I’ve since found a much better Hair Dresser for color. Studio Hair Design is run very unprofessional. Personally, I found Linda very narcissistic and unprofessional — every appointment I waited for her to arrive. She always showed up late and the funny thing is she lives in the city that her Salon is located.

Windy has been doing my nails forever and I will follow her anywhere she goes!
Love her. Always get non stop compliments!

Wish I could say I had a good experience here getting my nails done the other day, but it wasn’t worth the money nor were they friendly. I was expecting a much better experience based on the reviews. But, a second chance is always worth giving.

Came in with a groupon for a manicure and pedicure deal and the blonde girl at the desk was hands down the best! The place is small and cozy, they really make you feel like home. Offer you refreshments and definitely focus on their customer service. After this groupon, I will definitely come back!

used Groupon for Shellac manicure and pedicure. Reminds me of days back home when nails are done in a relaxing way.

Got a groupon for shellac mani/​pedi and had a great experience. Tayla was awesome. Really friendly and sweet. She did a great job and it lasted for over 14 days in the ocean and sun.

Took my wife there for a anniversary treat and they are super friendly and the laid back atmosphere was welcomed. Wife loved her nails!

I’ve been coming to studio hair design for about 10 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. The staff is professional and friendly.

I purchased a Groupon for a mani/​pedi with a girlfriend of mine. First time we went in, they scheduled us wrong and we ended up not being able to get it done. First bad sign.
When we went back I was extremely unhappy with the results. They don’t use disposable bins for pedicure (grosses me out that any pedicure place wouldn’t do that nowadays). Pedicure was baaad. Not to sound gross but they didn’t clean up my dead skin. Corners of my toes were still hard as a rock.
Manicure was even worse. I work with my hands so under my nails was dirty. They didn’t even clean them out! My manicure was rushed and terrible quality. The shellac is already coming off (got it 2 days ago and 3 nails already chipped & one whole entire nail has already begun to peel off). It looks like a 1^st grader painted my nails! There is excess polish all around the corners, dead skin not trimmed, file job was poor and left a hangnail of mine bleeding! Not to mention some girl came in and stood next to me while the manicurist was finishing, griping about her shitty life. While I tried to enjoy my nails being done, the manicurist just chomped on her gum and talked to this other woman (hello? this is MY time!!!) Obviously they scheduled appointments too close together because again, I felt very rushed. My nails look horrible! I almost just want to take it off already. Very dissatisfied. Will never return.
They also don’t allow you to tip if you use your credit card which means they don’t claim tips in taxes, which I’m pretty sure is illegal… I wish I could give them 0 stars.

I recently bought the groupon for a mani pedi for $ 29. I was running late due to the fact that the weather was terrible had it have been all winter. I called and they still said I could make it. By the time I got there I knew I would not be able to get a pedicure but I really needed the manicure since I had a wedding I was going to that weekend. They were very accommodating in regards to the shellac manicure. As I was leaving, I was charged an extra $ 10 for the shellac. To say I was upset would be an understatement. I know I was late but they didn’t even offer for me to 1. Come another time for the pedicure or 2. To just have me pay for the manicure via the groupon. I ended up paying more than I would have if I had just paid for the manicure and gave a $ 20 tip! And in the end the shellac barely lasted a week when they usually last 2 – 3 weeks ! Let’s just say I am overall dissatisfied.

Went here recently with my best friend since her husband was nice enough to get us Groupons for a manicure and pedicure. The staff was very nice and even took us a little bit earlier than our appointment. They had a good selection of nail polish colors and shellac options. Giving them four stars instead of five because parking wasn’t the best and some walk-​ins came in during our appointment time, causing us to have to wait for manicure stations to open up. We had no issues with the Groupons and they were more than happy to take them (definitely mention you have a Groupon when you book an appointment, just to be safe). I would definitely come here again to get my hair and nails done!

I did not ever get to visit this salon so this 1 star rating is for customer service. They deserve 0 since they provided NO service.
It’s interesting that the poor reviews came from Groupon users. I guess they didn’t really want to honor it because I have been trying to make an appointment ever since I bought mine, by calling, leaving messages and using their webform to send emails for months — no response. I contacted Groupon who reached out to the business owner and then told me that I’d hear from them within 3 days. That never happened so Groupon has agreed to refund my money.
5 stars for Groupon!

The people were nice however this was by far the worst mani/​pedi I have ever received. I bought a groupon for $ 29, the groupon said it was worth $ 65 so I was expecting a really NICE mani/​pedi. Lots of massaging, soaking, the works! There was none of that and my nails look like crap!
My daughter was with me and naturally wanted to get her nails done. I asked the lady at the front (later found out that was the owner) how much it would be to polish my daughter’s nails, she quoted me $ 10. I thought, «not bad.» When I went to pay, they charged me $ 25! They told me because they polished both her hands and feet, it was called a Princess something. I told them I was quoted $ 10, no one told me that covered one set of nails. A good owner of a small business would’ve stood by her quote, no matter if there was a little bit of miscommunication.
I will NOT be returning to this salon at all and I will be telling everyone I know not to go here. The groupon is a waste of money since I wouldn’t have paid $ 29 for the mani/​pedi I received.

I went to Studio Hair Design because I wanted to try shellac nails and they offered a Groupon for three visits for a low cost. It’s a cute place that used to be the Chamber of Commerce in Beverly. I can’t comment on the hair cut/​style here because I go elsewhere for my hair care.
I booked my appointment with Marie and went twice but was not happy with the results (gap at bottom almost immediately, bubbles, peeling). I almost ate the cost of the last visit but my sister convinced me to go to her nail tech, Audrey. I went to see her and have to say that she is a miracle worker! My nails always looked immaculate and I got so many compliments on them. I would never go to another nail tech.
I won’t be going back to this salon because Audrey is no longer there. Honestly, she’s the only reason to go there for nail care. The extremely limited parking poses a challenge regardless of your appointment time. Then there’s the behavior I’ve witnessed in the salon: Grown women treating each other with an attitude and bickering? That just doesn’t appeal to me. I already went to high school and have no desire to return to it. So I’m taking my nails elsewhere.

I used a Groupon and got a very well done mani/​pedi. I would have liked just a few more color selections, though. Everyone there was very friendly and the salon has a nice layout and on a hot day was very cool and comfortable inside. Very relaxing! So in addition to not having the huge array of colors I’m used to, another drawback of going to a nice salon as opposed to a more «express» nail place (you know the kind I’m talking about) I think people have an often mistaken impression that salons are cleaner. Well, the pedi tub attached to my chair had this absolutely gruesome smear of brownish goo on the side top edge of the tub. It looked like some kind of scrub, and I’m trying to convince myself it was just product left behind and not some sort of scarier brown substance. My tech, who was wonderful by the way, was already underway with the pedi when I went to adjust the chair slightly and saw the offending smear of… stuff. I got the immediate impression that whoever cleans the tubs just isn’t checking or is rushing. Since the mess was above the water line I just decided to let it go. I mean, the pedi was already about half done – what would be the point of switching to another chair at that time? And the one other chair was occupied anyway. I mentioned it to the assistant who I’d seen cleaning the other tub, but her reaction was frankly very weird. She just looked blankly at me, as if she could not figure out what I was saying when I pointed out the dirty spot. Very awkward. By this time my tech was busy with another client so I just left. I also had to go a couple of doors down to an establishment called The Anchor to use the ATM to get some cash because I did want to leave a tip and they did not let me charge that to my card, even though I planned to leave a tip over $ 10. The regular price of a mani/​pedi is $ 65, but with not much difference in the quality over my regular place, Orchid Nails, and the not so meticulous cleaning level, I don’t think I’d go back.

Linda is amazing colorist and stylist!!! I love her new location, so calm and relaxing!
Everyone is so nice there, they make you feel like one of their girlfriends!, and the salon is always immaculate!
I don’t know what Lyndsay B. is talking about in her review about them not being open on the weekends in the summer???, they have always been open on friday and saturdays all year!

I went to Studio Hair Design for manicure and pedicure for the first time. Although I was a Groupon customer, the aesthetician treated me just the same as any other customer. She was friendly and skilled. She said she teaches aesthetic during the day. She sounded and seemed very good at what she does and loves what she does. I highly, highly recommend this place!!!

I went here for the first time tonight and got a wash/​cut/​blow-​dry from Wendy. I loved the ambiance of the salon and felt really relaxed and comfortable there. The haircut was a little expensive but worth every cent. Wendy was really nice, and accommodating because I have a sensitive scalp. She did an awesome job– my hair feels so soft and looks amazing! I would highly recommend Wendy if you’re looking for a great hairdo!

Have had very good luck here — hair and nails — great group of women, lovely new place, great pricing and open on the weekend! I would recommend highly!!!

I’d give 4.5. Linda was very friendly which I’m not used to from my previous salon.
I moved to the north shore 2 years ago and was still driving 45 minutes to get a haircut. I have trust issues with my hair.
Saw favorable reviews here and she fit me in on my lunch break at work.
I has very long thick hair. I ended up getting 10″ cut off plus new bangs. I brought a picture from a website (black & white print out), and a photo of me on my cell. She looked at them for maybe 5 minutes, asked some questions and gave me the exact cut i wanted.
Bonus-​she sent me a christmas card, which was a nice touch.
