Axle Color Studio

As a male I have always gone to barber shops. I switched it up and left my comfort zone and chose Axle. I was very impressed with the professionalism in this salon. I value how personable the owners are to the approachability of the stylists, as well as the assistants. The environment was great, very laid back and designed to feel like you’re taken care of.
I stopped in for some products that Alex suggested and in no time I was back for an appointment with Megan. She was extremely on point with her skills and very attentive to how particular I am. I highly recommend this studio, guys especially. Give it a shot! I look forward to my next appointment.

I just had a keratin treatment done by Nicole St. Gelais and I love how my hair looks and feels ! When I arrived for my first appointment at Axle Color Studio in North Reading, my first reaction was this feels like a salon on Newbury St. in Boston! The better news is that you get the same quality for less cost and free parking !
Nicole took 2 hours to do this procedure. She explained everything in great detail. She even texted me to see how it was going and if I was doing what I was supposed to be!
I would highly recommend Nicole and Axle Color Studio for people who value great service and reasonable prices.

I went to Axle Salon for my wedding hair which was done by Lauren Morris. From the minute I met with Lauren at the trial to discuss my ideas for my wedding hair I knew I was in good hands. She listened very carefully and made my hair exactly how I wanted it on my wedding day. She did an absolutely PERFECT job! My hair stayed all night long. Some of my bridesmaids had Shannon do their hair at Axle the morning of my wedding and it came out amazing as well! Working with Axle Salon was also a great experience. I wish I could give more stars.

I love to go to lovely nails and spa because the leg massage are wonderful and everything is very clean and sanitary…

Axle is a unique experience that brings some excitement into getting a haircut. The salon is a culmination of classy décor with a modern flare, creating an energetic equilibrium of professionalism and amiability.
I have never given much thought to haircuts, as I tend to think of them as just «good» or «bad,» but after one of the owners invited me to experience the salon, it was well worth the drive from Boston. The stylist I had was Nicole, who was a pleasure to work with and took more of a consultative approach to make sure we were both on page. She did a phenomenal job that came with a lot of compliments from people saying, «That’s the best cut you’ve ever gotten, you need to go back there from now on.» Would highly recommend to anyone and will be going back!

I like the shop a lot it’s super pretty and the girls who run it seem to do a good job. I stopped going here when I left paying $ 300+ for a service. A little much for me and I wasn’t awed by the end result.

Love this place! They are always very accommodating to my crazy schedule and my hair has never looked better.

Had been jumping around to different places for years but found a home at Axle. My hair is always done the way I want it and now wouldn’t go any place else. This place is just the best!

I have been going to the same salon for over 20 years but with how busy I’m at work I needed to find something closer. I tried some local salons but never been completely happy. Then I met the owner Jackie and decided to give Axle a try. I have not been disappointed! Lauren the stylist does a awesome job. The salon is first class from the time you walk in to the time you leave. I highly recommend Axle Color studio!

I have been going to the same stylist for the past 6 years after moving the to the area. I had met owners Jackie and Alex Williams and decided to check out Axle. All I can say is WOW!
First of all, the décor is absolutely beautiful. I actually took some of their decoration ideas and incorporated them into my home :) Secondly, the staff is amazing. Everyone is so nice and to top it off, talented! I have been going to Nicole at Axle and recently changed up my hairstyle which I got lots of compliments on. Their consults are free and I always feel so relaxed and pampered when I go. I referred a few of my friends who had been going to Supercuts who where blown away by the service at Axle. We all cannot wait for our next appointments!

I love Axle! The whole experience from making appointments to walking into the salon is top notch. It is a relaxing atmosphere and I feel like a queen everytime I walk in the door, from the fresh flavored waters to the various treats! Everyone is friendly and makes you feel so welcome. I tried Axle because I met the owner, Jackie and was intrigued by her passion for the beauty industry. After being loyal to another salon for 8 years, I was hesitant but I after having Nicole style me… I would not go anywhere else. Nicole is so talented and never misses a beat when it comes to making me feel relaxed, explaining products and giving me a perfect style! You will not be disappointed if you are looking for Boston salon experience without the hassle of the city.
