Shear Elegance

COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!! My hair looked better going in than coming out. I had a young girl, her name started with an M. I went in to get my ombré fixed, needed a transition from the dark to the blonde. When I went in my hair was half natural brown half dirty blonde, all I wanted was a transition between the two because my blonde was actually a nice color!!! After I specifically said I don’t want my natural brown part colored she insisted that she «had» to dye it brown so I said fine but it had to be the closest to my natural color and NOTHING WITH RED IN IT. The dark part of my hair is now a reddish brown (NOT WHAT I WANTED) and the once dirty blonde part is now an orange/​yellow WITH NO TRANSITION. LIKE SERIOUSLY??? I regret going here 110% and wish I never handed that $ 125 for this mess I now have to get fixed somewhere else. She even tried to convince me that I «had» to go back in the following week and get a deep conditioning because my hair was SOOOO damaged while at the same time she was compressing my hair strands with a curling iron… COME ON!!! I didn’t ask her to curl my hair and damage it some more!!! This was followed by a dialogue of her saying how ombré looks better curly… but it should look decent straight too right??? ABSOLUTE COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!

I spent a few hours here getting a partial, cut and blow dry and I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences I’ve had getting my hair done. I felt immediately comfortable, welcomed, and like I had been going there for years. Stella did an awesome job with my hair and I felt like a million bucks when I left. The prices are so reasonable and I will definitely be back. If you are looking for a stuffy, serene experience, this place is not for you. If you are looking for a lighthearted yet relaxing time with an awesome haircut for great prices, give them a try.

I bought a Groupon and was in a desperate «I need my hair done immediately!» situation. I had never been to this salon before, so naturally I was a little worried about how things would turn out. I will now be a regular here! Stella is GREAT. She was incredibly friendly as soon as I walked in the door, knew my name already since I had called earlier and she had remembered, and was completely receptive to what I wanted. I wanted some funky hair, with 3 seperate colors and a cut, and I have to say, she is a pro! I have had more than one negative experience with salons and hair stylists not LISTENING to what I want and then me going home and crying for 2 days everytime I look in the mirror — never again! As I told Stella when I walked out the door, I will DEFINITELY be back.

I found Shear Elegance a while ago through a GrouponNow– $ 40 for a cut, color and blow-​dry. I was hesitant at first because that seemed like way too good of a deal but the place is great! Very nice, clean setting and friendly stylists. I go to Stella now on a regular basis– she is super nice and hilarious and always makes 2 hours at a hair salon seem more like gossip and drinks with a girlfriend. She always knows exactly what to do with my hair and is full of suggestions. The prices are great too– only $ 60 (full price) for a cut, color and blow-​dry. I definitely recommend!

I like this place! It’s very low key and Stella is super nice. The first time I went here was because I got a groupon type deal for a cut and color. Stella did an awesome job and I got exactly the color I wanted. She also put some fun colored extentions in.
If you are looking for a high end Newbury St type salon, this isn’t the place for you. But if you are looking for a casual salon that does good work this place is awesome. And you can’t beat the prices, even without the groupon deals!
PS– I never write reviews for anything but it made me sad to see only 1 review on this where someone gave them a 1 star. Totally not accurate.

I was referred to Shear Elegance after a friend got a Groupon and tried out the salon and was very happy with her results, so I gave a chance. I was super happy with my results. Stella was awesome and my hair looks amazing. I got great highlights and and a really good cut. Stella was super friendly and Shear Elegance seems to be a real neighborhood salon. I would totally recommend giving Shear Elegance a try you won’t be disappointed.

I just got a deal from dealfind to come here. I called to make an appointment and I called and asked if this was shear elegance salon, I’d like to make an appointment and I the person that answered was talking to someone else in the store! When I kept saying hello, I just heard muffled laughter and continued conversation and was continued to be ignored. What place treats customers like this? I’m pretty sure this isn’t a real business
