Paula Avery – Hair Stylist

I first met Paula through her daughter who is one of my good friends. It became a plus that her mom just happened to be an amazing hair stylist. I’ve been getting my hair done by her for at least 6 or 7 years and have never had a bad experience. She always is up to date with the new styles and does EXACTLY what you ask for whether it be only cutting an inch or the right color you want. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants their hair done right and love the way it looks and feels. I posted a couple of pictures of my hair done by her today. She and Mae did an amazing job as always!

I went to see Paula at Salon D’Bella with a gift certificate and incredibly damaged, flat hair. Unlike a lot of other hair stylists I had seen in the past, Paula asked in depth questions about what I wanted my hair to look like, how I regularly styled it, what kind of tools I use, etc. She took my answers into consideration and gave me the ideal cut – a medium bob with lots of beautiful layers. She even went the extra mile to curl it into beachy waves when she was done (which I was able to wear for several days after the cut/​style). Not only was she able to transform my old boring style, she was incredibly friendly and seemed to truly enjoy her job.
I’m in love with my hair now – thank you Paula!

There are only a few times in life when your hair needs to be on point… your wedding day probably being #1. I have really fine hair that does not curl easily, but wanted a full curly updo for my wedding day. Paula met with me for a consultation and i instantly felt at ease, because she understood exactly what i wanted. Same thing on my wedding day. Paula came equipped with all the tools /​products to get me the look i wanted! Not only did my hair last thru pictures, but it lasted 5 hours of dancing & a 5 hour plane ride to mexico. Thank you paula for making my wedding day ao special!

If you are looking for a hair stylist for a wedding (or in general) do not look any further — Paula is your girl. Paula did my hair for my wedding and it was perfect. Beyond perfect. I gave her a few pictures of what I thought I liked and she took them and put them on steroids. She made those pictures look like child’s play compared to what my hair looked like. It was absolutely perfect. I have A LOT of long curly hair and she made it beyond beautiful. The compliments I got were amazing and best of all — it lasted all night –literally. I took a picture and sent it to her at the end of the night and it looked just like it did when she did it 12 hours earlier. She is a hair goddess. She did 4 other bridesmaids and my mom’s hair. My mom was over the moon with her hair and she’s picky! I cannot say enough things about Paula and her professionalism and personality. She was one of the girls that day and we are so grateful for that!

All though I like to read Unilocal reviews, I’ve never felt compelled to write one until now .
I guess there are always exceptions to the rule I think that Paula Avery is extraordinarily exceptional in her craft.
From colors, cuts, perms, updos… from young to old she truly is a stylist in every sense. Glad I found her.

Being a long time client of Paula’s, I had the pleasure of my first appointment at her new location in Saugus. She has been cutting, styling and coloring my hair for over 20 years and I’ve yet to ever be disappointed. She knows exactly what cuts and colors will look good on me, and her suggestions are always the most flattering. When she first starting doing my hair, I was only 13 years old, and it was very convenient that she was located in the same town I lived in. As I got older I moved about 30 minutes away and refused to look for a closer hair stylist. The travel for me was worth it. And her new location, though farther away for me has not deterred my insistence that she be the only one who touches my hair. It is very conveniently located only a few minutes away from her old locale.
She has done everything from perms (when they were stylish) to adding gorgeous blonde streaks to my otherwise dark hair to cutting off over 10 inches into a fantastic bob. Every time I leave there, I feel fantastic. She styled my hair for my wedding and I’m still receiving compliments on gorgeous my hair looked on that day. Paula never rushes through a cut or style to get to her next client. She will step back and analyze her work so far and see if there’s something she can do to make it even better.
As for my appointment yesterday, it was my first trim in about 6 months, just a wash, cut and blow-​dry. Nothing fancy, but when I left, I felt amazing. On my way home, I had to do some errands. Well, I received two compliments from an employee and customer at Whole Foods. As well as a «Wow, your hair is so beautiful!» from a random stranger in Target. Being a mom of two little ones, these kinds of compliments don’t come often, and I knew it was a direct result of my trip to Paula.
She is a talented hair stylist who takes the time to know her clients and their styles, and is always keeping up with the latest trends and learning new tricks of the trade.
