Interlocks Salon + Spa

Love the new design of the spa as I was so quiet and relaxing. I completely enjoyed my facial — The advanced facial is the facial to beat all facials! I felt like my skin was glowing and very refreshed. I can’t wait to go back for another treatment soon.

Vera saved my lashes, and she is an amazing master lash technician. I heard she was the best and she most definitely is! I came from another salon to get my lashes filled, the other salon had destroyed my lashes with excessive glue and extension glued to 3 – 6 lashes. Now this had caused eye problems like infected ingrown eyelash hairs: she recommended taking them off, scrubbing my lashes with baby oil to get the glue off. I did this and a few days later she put on an entire new set of volume lashes which look better than any other ones I’ve had. I’ve been converted because of Vera’s honestly and expertise my lashes look better than ever

So I got the devacut done today by David. Let me just say that I am only giving the salon 2 stars because the staff there were so nice and David taught me how to use the devacurl products he used on me. However, getting the devacut I thought it was going to be more exciting or more educating about curls. When he came to my chair he asked me what I was getting done which I was hoping he already knew but no. Oh well, it wasn’t a big deal. He asked me if I wanted the cut dry or wet. From the videos I’ve seen and read about the devacut it says that they cut your curls dry because that’s what they’re trained to do. So that kind of turned me off. It was my first time getting the devacut done so I had no idea how the whole process was going to be done. I also told him it was my first time but I don’t think he was paying attention because when he was going to wash my hair he asked me if it was my first time. So he asked me if I cared about length and I said no, I just wanted more volume on the top of my hair because it’s always flat. I love fros but I don’t think he understood that. So he cut a bunch of pieces which gave the sides of my hair more volume but not much on the top. So he asked me if I wanted the styling of the devacut and I said yes which is what I chose in the appointment. But anyway, he washed my hair with the amazing products and put the gel in. I asked him about one of the new devacurl products and it seemed like he didn’t even know about it because I want to know better ways to style my curly hair. So he put me under a light to somewhat dry it and then said he would diffuse it. He diffused my hair and he’s like how’s that? I told him that it had less volume than I came in. So he tried again but with my head down instead and it gave me slightly more volume but I was just so over it because he didn’t know how to style my curly hair like I wanted so when he was «done» I said it was fine. At the end he showed me the products in the front because I’m looking to buy them. (I bought a devacurl kit online instead) I’m easily influenced to buy things but he wasn’t trying so I didn’t even bother thinking about buying it. I paid and left. I felt my hair in my car and it was still damp which I didn’t like either. Last thing is that the only devacurl things he used was the shampoo, conditioner and gel. I was hoping that he would’ve used the devacurl diffuser and microfiber towels but he didn’t. I’m so bummed honestly about my first devacut.

I had a great experience! Loretta took the time to go over my ideas and did her best to give me what I originally wanted. Although I wanted a lighter color in the beginning, she explained to me about the cons and suggested better options. Loretta clearly wants what is best for her clients which is gratifiing. My hair turned out amazing!

i dont get my hair done very often, but when i do this is definitely my new salon. gorgeous interior, polite stylists who actually know what they are doing (which is SO hard to come by these days) and mid range pricing! i’ve gotten a cut and two colors there so far and they’ve all turned out great. they always discuss at length (hehe) all of my options and really make sure i’m informed before they do anything. the girl who usually does my hair is a beautiful tall platinum blond, wish i remembered her name because she’s great! i dont trust my hair to a lot of people, but this place has definitely earned 4 or 5 stars in my book

One star for the amazing haircut I received from Holly a few weeks back. I was so impressed, I scheduled to have my hair touched up this afternoon before I left for vacation. Tara handled the color. I walked out today with the opposite of what I asked for. In fact, I would have been happier with the end result of what a bottle of clariol would have done over how my hair looks right now.
When I went back in they offered to «maybe» fix it today, but they don’t give refunds. After five requests to get a refund, it was finally granted.
I had such high hopes after that haircut, too.

I have had trouble finding a salon I like enough to go back to for past few years but I really have been happy with Interlocks since I started going there last winter. Holly listens to what I want and does an awesome job!

Bad experience with lash extensions. They were having a promotion and although the technician did a decent job she panicked when I asked for a cold pack after the two hour service. The glue can irritate your eyes and I was very puffy after. She insisted on removing all eye makeup prior — which did not help the reveal. A better attitude would have helped the situation.

I am out caring for my mother over the summer in NH. I was searching for a hair salon that uses Wella Color Touch and found many options in Newburyport. I chose Interlocks based on their education and depth of offerings. I was NOT disappointed. I left looking awesome (as I witnessed everyone leaving looked great.) This salon is so good I wish it had a location in DC where I live. Request, David. The bomb:)
P. S. I stopped at the grocery store on my way home and got two «double looks» from the opposite sex. Yeah, I looked great! Coming back soon…

If you have eyelash extensions, call Vera!~ She is amazing!

I’ve had multiple services from Laura including waxing, microdermabrasion, and PCA peel. She’s great. Punctual, attentive, knowledgeable, skilled, and fun to chat with. I highly recommend Laura.
My only ding on the business is their lack of flexibility with their discounted offers. Last Christmas, I bought myself a series for a discount. Having done the PCA peels before, I thought that was what I was buying, but as it turned out, I was getting a series of microdermabrasions. The difference in price was not a lot, but Interlock wouldn’t put that money towards an exchange for a series of peels instead. I would of paid the difference. I didn’t like the microderm as much as the peels so to me, it became a double disappointment. The spa should be slightly more customer oriented. Situations like that make people who are spending hundreds, not tens of dollars, with a business to go find another, with a more flexible policy.

My bridesmaids gave me a gift certificate to Interlocks for my bridal shower. I decided to use it for a full foil a week before my wedding. I asked for a master stylist and got Vicki who did my hair. She was very nice, made sure to do a good towel dry since i had no time to blow dry and wasnt overly talkative as i really wanted to relax and read. When i went home and my hair started to dry i realized that i had a large line across the top of my head. I called first thing the next day and they fit me in to fix it. I was very thankful that they did this. But at $ 145 without a blow dry i really expected more. My roots were barely touched and made me look like i had gone weeks without foils and there are still a couple of random splotches of color and another weird line that i didnt notice at first to get fixed. For the price, i would definitely expect more. I wont be recommending Interlocks for color services. My pedicure was nice though!

Allison McHale is the BEST at what she does! She cuts and colors my hair, and did mine, my sister’s and my mother’s hair for my wedding (see profile picture). And she’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet!

Interlocks is great if you book with the right person. If you have curly hair you must book a deva cut and color with Melissa. She has studied curly hair in NYC and is a true master at it.. Vera is the absolute best person to book if you want a Brazilian wax. She makes you feel relaxed and knows how to reduce the inherent pain associated with the procedure. I love the fact that the salon doesn’t charge you for canceled appointments. Also the hours are extremely convenient. Most of the people working there have stayed 10 – 20 years which speaks volumes of the manager. I would recommend the salon but do your homework first and make sure you are booking with the right person.

The statement that the owner made is completely inaccurate. It was not a client that dropped the nail polish. And the technicians told me my bag was fine — once I pointed it out they took my bag and without permission attempted to clean it with nail polish remover! Furthermore no one contacted me offering to REPLACE my bag! They offered to get it cleaned! I couldn’t actually organize my schedule to drop the bag off to have it done as I had just gone back to work after having a baby. The mani/​pedi was suppose to be a relaxing gift

Have had nice pedicures and manicures done here — I recommend these services.
DO NOT DO WAXING HERE. The lady was rude, which made me uncomfortable. She didn’t seem to really care much about making me comfortable while doing the bikini area — she was aggressive and did not do any pre or post moisturizing. Not to mention she also missed a few DOZEN hairs, and didn’t even tweeze to get some out, so I had miscellaneous hairs I then needed to tweeze by myself at home! For $ 100, I expected better.

Katie gave me a deva cut and color and I was very happy with both. Location was great, salon is nice. Didn’t feel high-​pressure sales for product. I’ll return (actually, I am next week)!
Update: We broke up. I would still recommend it. The salon is really nice, I never left unhappy with my hair, it always looked really good. Ultimately, though, I went looking for a place/​stylist that is more creative and out of the box. I’m not looking for a purple Mohawk but I do like hair color that is a bit more interesting.

Do not book with Eva the angry Russian! I made the mistake of going to her twice. Apparently, she is not as popular as the other women because I was booked with her as a walk in both times. Her personality is very snarky and cold, and she burned my skin as well. Also, It’s taken a couple of months for me to grow my eyebrows back as well. She didn’t achieve the right style or look in that area either. My boyfriend who usually doesn’t pay much attention to my brows remarked, «Did you want it to look like that?!!» It was a very abysmal experience all around.
I believe everyone is entitled to a bad mood once in a while, just don’t take it out on me, or my brows!!!

The overall dated and minimally shabby décor are inconsistent with the supposed image of an upscale salon. I also find the price of a haircut unduly high for what you get.
I finally stopped going when it became clear that the manager (owner?) fawned over the Real Housewives of Newburyport at the expense of us peasants who simply wanted a good haircut for a reasonable price.

I visited Interlocks for years when I lived in NBPT — nails, hair, facials, massages. When we moved 20 minutes south to NH I figured I’d find somewhere cheaper/​closed. After a number of awful experiences (which are TMI for Unilocal) I figured you get what you pay for and so I happily drive the 20 minutes to NBPT for appointments.
I’ve had mixed results for hair but just last week Katie fixed my grey roots and it’s looking awesome.
Leah is AMAZING for eyelash extensions and the best facials ever. Laura is BRILLIANT for waxing — minimal pain! Eva does phenomenal massages.
Pedicures are expensive — $ 50 plus — but everything is spotlessly clean and the services are very thorough.
After 7 years of using Interlocks, the reception team recognize my number and are super friendly and will squeeze me in for last minute appointments/​put me on a waitlist.
