I feel pretty

by areselyana at Citysearch

let me preface by saying that I am not easy to please. I have very simple hair however hairdressers seem to take too much off or not put enough layers. I didn't want a drastic change just to shape my hair. I got my hair done by the owner, Alex and was thrilled. He was charming, talented and I loved every minute of my experience. This salon does a lot for their clients. Alex was telling me that they put on fashion shows, have cut a thons for chairty and throw parties for the clients. I was amazed. I have never heard of this. I have also never seen a salon with a beautifully landscaped patio attached. It is breath taking. I am so happy i found this spot. If you want to feel relaxed and beautiful. Go see alex. The best part is that i can recreate the look he gave me on my own. I am so happy.

Pros: beautiful space and talented hairdressers

Must See Allison

by smirthdao at Citysearch

I have always heard great things about acote but for some reason never tried it. I went with one of my friends the other day and I didn't want to leave. The friendly and helpful receptionist told me that when I called I would be placed with someone that is good with my type of hair. Right away I was excited, because I don't think i have easy hair to cut as it is curly but I only wear it curly half the time. When I got there I was greeted by Allison who seemed cool right from the start. Before we did anything we talked about my hair. Looking at her, she had straight hair, but she told me that she has extremely curly hair. I felt at ease right then. She really listened to what I wanted. She understood my problems, because she had similar hair. The shampoo was amazing and the haircut was even better. I told her that I was going to a birthday party that night and she asked if I wanted it styled a certain way besides just a blowdry to look great for the party. There is such great customer service at this salon and everyone seems to get along. There was great coffee, music and conversation. I think i had a better time at the salon than i did at the birthday party. However, my hair looked fab. I will defitnately be back.

Pros: talent, cleanliness, ambiance, total package
Cons: none

TOTALLY AWESOME

by STVGR at Citysearch

I have to tell you, I have had good haircuts before, and usually i just go to a barber shop or what ever is nearby my place, but recently I got my haircut at acote because I had a coupon and figured what the hell, why not treat myself to a fancy newbury street haircut. Well I got to say, there is a lot to be said about a fancy newbury street haircut. My hair has never looked this good. I am not sure if I just lucked out in who I got to cut my hair, his name was Richard, and after chatting a little bit, it was obivious he was no novice to the field or to that salon, but again I have to say that I look great. He asked me exactly what I wanted my hair to do and after examining my hair and me for that matter he was direct and honest about what could be achieved with my hair. Above and beyond the great hair cut, the staff was really cool and upbeat and setting was relaxed. I figured I would walk in a place with a bunch of pretentious snobs and that was not the case. Very refreshing. I will definately be back to see Richard soon.
