New Leaf Hair Studio

Hello to my new favorite hair salon! I had a true Spring awakening after Stacey made my sad hair happy again with bright highlights and a fresh cut. I’ve received more compliments on my hair style than I can ever recall. The salon itself is modern and pleasant and the products are very high quality, although a bit pricey (no regrets on that Oribe texturizing spray I bought though!). The cute boutique next door is great bonus except it added an extra $ 100 to my experience because there was a dress I could not resist! Thanks New Leaf for the new ‘do!

First time customer at New Leaf and had a GREAT experience. Michelle, massage therapist, was very professional and knowledgable and had my neck and back (which are often very painful) feeling great afterwards! Definitely recommend it! Plus, after researching multiple Bristol spas, New Leaf had the most competitive prices :)

Three words to describe New Leaf: Reliability, Talent-​Filled, and Hospitality. I have been going to New Leaf for 4 years. I have had a few horror stories in the past — wrong hair color, streaky highlights, choppy layers, you name it. With blond hair, I found it difficult to find a stylist who could find a color match that wasn’t too yellow or ashy and Jenn got it right on the first try. She originally corrected a dye job I had done at a different salon in 2011 and she is now my go-​to for all things hair-​related. I highly recommend New Leaf and all their stylists.

This is my happy place! Love getting cut, color and style by Courtney. Plus they have an awesome lower level for nail and skin services. To top it all off they have amazing accessories and clothes in their therapy clothing store. This makes for a true getaway every time I’m due for a cut. Check it out you will not be disappointed!!!

Wonderful service! Got a wonderful haircut from Jenn today along with a complimentary markup session. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Will definitely recommend to friends!

I love all of the friendly faces I see at New Leaf. Every time I come in, they have a great way of allowing you to relax without having it feel forced. They take your coat, ask if you’d like anything to drink, etc. Very hospitable. The salon is beautifully decorated and laid out really well. If you are a bit early for your appointment, they have a section in the front of some cute clothes, great hair products and some jewelry. Great for last minute events, but not overwhelming. I always see Jenn. She is a saint, she did my first (and only) ombré and I had never gotten so many compliments before. Literally up until the day I cut my hair, people had asked where I got it done. Very clean and not choppy at all. Lastly, their prices are INCREDIBLY reasonable!!! I can tip my stylist how I wish without feeling like I had to empty the piggy! Oh and they have helped me donate 16 inches of hair. Overall, the best salon. I am very loyal to them. Thanks, New Leaf!

New Leaf Salon is fantastic! I hired them as my hair and makeup team for my wedding, and they did an amazing job! I loved working with Ashley on my hair and makeup, and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well. Thank you for making the wedding prep so easy! Ashley and another stylist came out to our location (on the other side of town), and it was wonderful having them on location while we got ready and enjoyed a leisurely morning. We were all glowing by the end of the morning, thanks to them! I would highly recommend New Leaf.

Great haircuts, up dos, and eyebrow waxings with Amanda. Definitely a high-​end salon, so the prices are a bit steep but worth it. Relaxing ambiance with a cute boutique (pretty pricey) and a lot of options for hair/​beauty products that are on sale at the store. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. I went to school in Bristol and miss going to this place. The staff is overall very friendly. Great online booking system.

Friday afternoon I got to leave work early and decided I was overdue for a cut — although I’ve been growing my hair out, it is very split and needed some love. Before I even got to my car I called New Leaf on the off chance they might have some availability in the afternoon. They had an appointment open 30 minutes from when I called, and I grabbed it.
I didn’t have to wait long, about 5 minutes — and there is a waiting area to sit in, or you can browse their cute little boutique off to the side of the salon — necklaces, bracelets, handbags, wallets, dresses, head bands — you name it, they had it for sale. Good thing I have willpower, otherwise my spontaneous trip to New Leaf would have really damaged my wallet.
Rachel was my stylish and she did a great job — she worked with me and my specific needs (I use henna to naturally color my hair, and regular shampoo and conditioner is a no-​go). She listened to what I wanted and had me washed, cut, and blow dryed in about 35 minutes. Complementary makeup session with onsite make up artist is included in your service, but I took a rain check on my visit. Over all with tip it was a $ 52 cut, a little pricey but not too bad for once and a while. Plus I left the salon feeling like Mandy Moore, so whats not to love! I will be back!

Came here today with my friend for an elite Unilocal event. The place is so cute, very fresh and modern looking, and so spacious!!! They even have a lower level for massages, facials and pedicures. My favorite was their private bridal party room; if I wasn’t already recently married, I would definitely have brought my bridesmaids here for a day of pampering! The staff is tremendous, everyone so friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the only downfall is that Bristol is a bit far to go for just a manicure or haircut, but maybe for a facial or massage it is worth it !!!

After moving out of state three years ago, I still look forward to going back to Bristol and get my hair and nails done at New Leaf. The décor is fresh and soothing, the service is always wonderful, they are VERY invested in making sure you’re satisfied, and as soon as you walk in it feels like you’re among goddesses — every single person who works there is beautiful and extremely friendly! I would trust any of them to make me look my best. They also are active in the community and do a lot of charitable events, which I respect and admire.
Additionally, their bridal suite is really something special. A few years ago I had the pleasure of being styled there as a member of a wedding party, and it was the perfect way to start the day. They greeted us with champagne, strawberries, and calm, cool demeanors that put everyone at ease on the big day. Everyone looked gorgeous! Since then they have remodeled their bridal suite to make it even more cozy and private. I recommend this place to every bride I know.
Lastly, New Leaf is a fun place to go and shop! Whether you need some extra hair products, a quick gift for a friend or some unique new accessories, it’s definitely worth taking a peek at what they have in stock.
Overall, New Leaf is a gem of a place — I find myself making excuses to spend more time there!

Jenn C is excellent. She doesn’t treat you like a number, but actually listens to you as she would a friend. She has wonderful customer service skills and I always come out very happy with my cut. Jenn C looks very stylish and keeps up with the latest trends. She always gives great advice and you really can’t beat the $ 40.
I would advise other hair stylists, even at this salon, to make small talk and invest in the time it takes to earn loyalty. Not all of them do that. If you treat customers as a number, they will NOT come back. You must get to know about your customer if you want to give them the best hairstyle possible.
Jenn C has my loyalty.

I have been going to New Leaf for over a year and always have fantastic cuts with Danielle. She is so talented and awesome at her job. I always leave feeling like a million bucks and love her work. She’s also just about the only nice person who works in the salon. After a year of being treated like dirt by the reception staff, I am DONE with this place. They are rude beyond imagination, talk down to you, hang up on you when you call in and act like it’s my privilege to so much a speak with them. As a professional, the last thing I want after work is to encounter an obnoxious, stuck up college kid acting like it’s awful to have to provide basic customer service.
I never left the salon without buying either product or something from their boutique. I spent a lot of money here along with my boyfriend who was a regular as well, but none of that seemed to make a difference in the way I have always been treated.
I’ll miss Danielle, her sweet personality and awesome cuts, but am glad to take my money elsewhere.

came here for a bridal party mani/​pedi extravaganza. Everyone’s services went really smoothly, the nail salon downstairs was so cute and spacious and I was really satisfied with both the mani and pedi. They used Bliss products (scrub, lotion) for our pedis which I really appreciated, and the massage couches were just the icing on top of the cake. I felt totally pampered and at home here.

I love new leaf! The salon itself is bright and spacious; and it also has a lovely little accessory shop. My go to stylist is Stephanie; she’s done everything for me from trims to updos to keratin treatments and she never disappoints. Highly recommended!

New leaf, indeed. This is the best haircut and salon experience I’ve had since moving to RI over three years ago, and seeing as I’ve tried several, that’s saying something.
Yes, you have to haul yourself down to Bristol, but that’s hardly anything to complain about as New Leaf is located on one of the most charming streets in the most charming neighborhood. I mean, Persimmon is across the street, for crying out loud. It’s lovely, just like the salon itself. Open, airy, modern and spacious, everything is laid out beautifully and in a way that provides privacy for the client, which I like. A lot.
My appointment with Jen C began promptly, and started with a consult during which I knew she was listening. She asked questions, made suggestions and explained what she was planning to do. She also gave me a shampoo and luxurious scalp massage with Moroccanoil products, which I happen to love and use at home, and then whisked me away to a quiet corner to start her work. The way in which she cut my hair was remarkable — I have extremely thick hair that falls somewhere between a wave and a curl, and the last cut I got left me with awkward bang-​like thinks that simply didn’t work. So, Jen began with an all over shaping while my hair was wet, and then put me under this amazing dryer that uses hot lights rather than blown air to get it dry. Then, she came back in and snipped according toy curl pattern, thinning and shaping as she went. She even managed to blend the bang thinks into the rest of my hair. The end result is something flattering, stylish and (most importantly) easy to manage and simple to style. Love.
The whole thing cost me less than $ 40. You just cannot beat that.
New Leaf also sells an assortment of fantastic hair and skin care products: Moroccanoil, Bumble & Bumble, Dermalogica and Becca to name a few. I scooped up a really cute cosmetics pouch in the adjoining boutique, which is full of scarves, dresses & accessories.
In short, I love this place — its the best haircut I’ve had in years, and that’s no simple feat considering my thick, curly hair.

Tried this salon a few times. Wasn’t happy with the result. The stylists were too busy talking to one another to pay attention to what they were doing. I did notice they have their favorite clients who get a really great, stylish, cut… other than that.blah.

Love it! very nice service. they were very busy but very professional. I got a blow out and loved it. will be back.

I went here on a whim because my friends have all been and enjoyed it.
I had a lovely experience, was offered wanter or coffee, my feet were put up when my hair was being washed, got a good cut etc.
Overall it was nice but I don’t think its worth the money.

Okay,
So I have been going to this salon for roughly 4 years or so. I have had so many great experiences here. I have gotten up do’s, cuts, styles, blow drys, you name it. I remain loyal to Mel and she has always put the health of my hair before anything. I basically let her do whatever she wants, I really trust her as a stylist. New Leaf is one of the more high-​end salons in Bristol, in my opinion. The interior is professional, modern, and appealing. Ohh, you also put your feet up when getting your hair washed and receive a complimentary scalp massage. These girls really do a great job. It may seem a bit pricey (for the area)…roughly $ 50 for a cut and style not including a tip. But I feel as though it is worth it.
