Cynthia K Salon

This is a long overdue review for Shanyn. I went in for a much needed refresh on my color and cut and she totally transformed me! Shanyn was super easy to talk to and I loved how she kept me informed every step of the way. I’ve never had a stylist explain step by step exactly what and more importantly WHY they were doing what they were doing. I feel like I actually learned something by having my hair done! Shanyn is not only an absolute doll of a person, but extremely talented :) I can’t recommend her enough :)

Looking for a new color and style, I went to Shanyn at Cynthia K salon. She’s super sweet and knows her trade. She blended my color and is walking me through gracefully growing out my hair. I’m very happy with my new stylist — Thanks Shanyn!

This review is for my haircut with Shanyn. She is super friendly and knowledgeable about everything you could ever want to know about your hair, but more importantly, she’s very talented. The photo I’ve included speaks for itself.

Elle has started doing my hair, and has an incredible talent, with color, and cut, knows what works for your style, and shape, great styling too! Highly recommend for a perfect hair experience!

I went to Cynthia K Salon on a Gilt Coupon for a single process color and blow dry. I am SO glad I went. I saw Shanyn who was fantastic! She did a great job of listening to what color I wanted for my hair and matched it perfectly! She was also incredibly easy to talk to and even blow dried my hair with great braids in the front so the heat/​humidity wouldn’t ruin my hair right away. I also love the products at Cynthia K. Can’t wait to go back!

This place was amazing. Lovely, clean, so nice, and my stylist, Shanyn, was the bomb. She listened to what I wanted, and executed to perfection while keeping in mind how much time I had on my meter.
No joke, I literally walked out of the salon and hadn’t even walked a block before a guy stopped me, said, «I like your hair,» and gave me his card and told me I should call him some time. I had no makeup on and was wearing yoga clothes.
Definitely go here.

I recently gave gilt a try by purchasing a voucher for both a partial foil and a haircut service. My stylist, Shannon, was so friendly and truly understood what I was looking for. I was completely comfortable after our consultation, immediately I knew she knew her stuff! I had never colored my hair before and she kept it very natural but noticeably better, exact what I wanted. And the cut was beyond my expectations of my hair. It’s been 3 weeks and I’ve worn it natural, curled, straight, and up and the cut made each a better version of its normal self. Ive send 2 of my friends in and they are 5 star happy with there new dos too! Thank you Shannon!!!

Before Cindy, I let the wind (and Gilt City) take me from salon to salon on Newbury St. where I received perfectly acceptable hair cuts, blow outs, and the occasional texturizing treatment. The inevitable truth was that I hadn’t found my «person» — that person who will let you gush about your hair insecurities and length anxieties, who believes you when you say you are and will always be low maintenance, and who just knows what to do even when you don’t.
My wash, cut, and blow dry went far beyond my Newbury St. expectations. Cindy was not only the most knowledgeable stylist I’ve ever had, she was also able to give me a cut that looks chic when straight and flirty when curly. She’s a genius. I walked out of the salon with the hair cut I thought I knew I always wanted.
100 stars for Cindy and Cynthia K.

I got a haircut by Erica after getting a Groupon.
The Salon: Very bright and clean. I like the minimalist deco and dominant white color. The atmosphere is definitely chic but in an accessible and casual way.
Erica: She was so nice and took time to listen to what I wanted and to know me better. My haircut is great and is really what I wanted. She made suggesting that proved to be really great. She also gave me some styling advice and was really sweet. She suggested different new styles I could do, I was so happy with my haircut that I coming back for highlights in the next few months. More to come.
Price: reasonable
Area: Newbury street shopping anyone!
I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

Thank god I found this place! Erica is a hair GENIUS and the sweetest person ever. I have long thick curly hair and she have me an amazing cut then blew my hair out to look gorgeous. The salon is bright and all the staff are super friendly! Can’t wait to go back.

I got my hair cut by Erica after getting a Groupon and she did a fantastic job! As a brand new customer she gave me a consultation first to make sure she knew my hair and what I wanted and made some great suggestions for what would look good with my face, desired style and texture. I have very fine hair so I’m very picky about my haircuts. Erica’s work was flawless, though, so I will definitely be going back!
