Kent Newton Salon

I've been a devoted client of Kent Newton for years, and I'm absolutely thrilled to see them opening a new branch – they've more than earned this success! As someone with curly hair, finding Kent Newton was life-changing. From day one, I've been consistently impressed by the experience, the exceptional quality of service, and the warmth and friendliness of everyone on the team. They truly understand curly hair in a way that so few salons do. Year after year, they've never disappointed. My curls always look their absolute best after every visit, and I trust them completely with my hair. The expertise and care they bring to every appointment is why I keep coming back and why I've recommended them to countless friends over the years. This new branch is exciting news for anyone in the area with curly hair who's been searching for THE salon. If you haven't experienced Kent Newton yet, now's your chance to discover what I've known for years – they're simply the best around. Proud to be a #1 fan and cheering them on as they grow! Here's to many more years of amazing hair days! 🎉

I’ve been seeing Brittany for almost 10 years!! She’s a blonde expert and the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve stayed with her all these years. Everyone at Kent Newton is always so welcoming and kind!! The atmosphere is fun and artistic but also relaxing. I leave feeling like a super star every time. Brittany is magic at what she can do for self esteem, knowing what looks and what doesn’t and she’ll definitely make you laugh while you’re there and leave feeling like new person. Go see her and you will 100% too!! ❤️

I love Kent Newton Salon! The staff is always amazing, and I genuinely smile when I see an appointment on my calendar. For a busy mom- it’s the small things that set Kent Newton Salon apart… the sparking water or coffee, the rotating art on the walls that make you feel like you’re in an art gallery. I have seen Taylor for YEARS and trust her with my whole heart! My son started to get his haircut there too. He was trying to figure out what haircut was long enough to keep him happy and clean looking enough to make me happy. Everyone is always so kind to him, and makes him feel like a capable, independent and valued person- so important for teenagers who are trying to find their way in the world! I can not praise Kent Newton Salon and the entire staff enough!

I’ve been going to Amanda at Kent Newton for over three years now and she never misses! My hair has never been longer, softer, or shiner in my life. Amanda does my cuts, blow dries, and treatments. One of favorite things about her is that she always respect the trim I’m looking for especially because I want to keep my length. I’ve been to too many places that cut more than I ask for, not here! She takes her time washing (including a nice scalp massage), blow drying, and styling. I really appreciate how she doesn’t rush through any step of the process like other stylists that want you in and out and you feel like your hair isn’t washed properly. I always leave feeling so good about my hair. Honestly, I know I could go to her and have her do my hair and leave without me checking the mirror once. That’s how much I trust her! She gives honest opinions, takes my preferences seriously, and knows how to work with wavy hair which is a huge plus! She makes sure my cuts and layers work well with my natural curls and when it’s styled. Thanks, Amanda!

I've been going to the Kent Newton Salon forever! Kent is an amazing stylist, creates an professional and upbeat atmosphere for his clients, and cares deeply about his staff. He and his team are talented and versatile - they can do anything (color, cut, blow dry, Brazilian blow-outs, Balayage coloring, etc.) - just as good, if not better than Newbury Street. Simply the best!

I needed to find a new salon after moving from out of state, and I'm so glad I discovered Kent Salon! Amanda is absolutely fantastic and is now my go-to stylist. She took the time to understand what was looking for, offered great suggestions, and delivered exactly what I wanted. The salon itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the entire staff is professional and friendly. If you're new to Boston or just looking for a talented stylist, I highly recommend booking with Amanda at Kent Salon!

Edited from 1 star to 4. Edited to add: The salon reached out and offered a redo service at no charge. Although slightly awkward, I agreed to come back in and sincerely appreciated the gesture. Courtney, the new stylist I was booked with, was extremely nice and took her time. After she flat ironed my hair to assess the situation, I saw my original haircut was far worse than I initially realized. It was honestly so disheartening because I don’t know how a professional stylist could have done such an awful job without it being intentional. After 45 minutes of cutting, Courtney let me know she’d done the best she could without having to give me bangs and cut a significant amount of length off. It had taken a lot of work to make it presentable. Considering the original state, she did a fantastic job and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I also appreciate the salon reaching out to correct the work of the original stylist. While I won’t be a repeat client, I’d happily recommend Courtney to anyone asking. Thanks, Courtney! I feel so much better. **** Disappointed after seeing all the glowing reviews. My overall experience at the salon was fine (although my appointment from start to finish, including wash, cut and dry was only 30 minutes…), but this cut does not look even remotely like a professional did it. No amount of styling can cover the chopped up appearance. It feels like my hair was intentionally sabotaged????
