Adesso Hair Salon

I have been going to Lucia for years and she is AMAZING! A true artist when it comes to hair. I can always count on her to give me great advice and do a great job making me look & feel beautiful when I go into the salon. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great hairstylist. She’s THE BEST! –Kathleen Cooper

I bid on a series of services at a charity event so I went to this salon for a try.
The first time I got one of the best blow drys ever. Came out perfect as well as a miracle conditioner that made my hair glen. Don’t know what they used but it was wonderful.
During the service I was asked if I wanted a cut. Since I had a cut recently and wear my hair long I said another time. Clearly this did not please the stylist.
During my time at the salon my stylist had a long protracted conversation with another stylist in Albanian shouting over the sound of blow dryers.
Still the beautiful blow dry won me over.
My next visit was the same rude treatment but a great blow dry. During the time of my service I was bAdgered over and over to allow him to cut my hair. I said next time as I was happy with the blow dry that I would get a trim.
Well, on my third visit I got my haircut. The worst mess I have ever experienced. I wear my hair long pass shoulders. He cut hunks of uneven layers in my hair.
I went to my regular hairdresser and she could not believe it and showed me with a mirror the chunks he took out of my hair.
Just the worst place. I left no tip. Told them they were unprofessional and did not listen to me and gave me a bad haircut.
Never in my life have I written a bad review and thought long and hard before doing so.
Beware.

Worst highlights I have ever gotten. I decided to try this place out after seeing a groupon. I made an appointment to get FULL highlights and walked out with less than partial. My highlights were sparse and symmetrical and therefore very unnatural looking. Definitely not going back. Also Frank inappropriately hit on me the whole time. Squeezed my cheeks and my legs. The whole experience was uncomfortable and unfortunate.

Finally got a real haircut for a decent price! Frank was super friendly! I have been trying many salons and now i am done searching! These guys are real professional!

I just graduated from Holy Cross in Worcester MA and I’m so angry I found this place so late during my 4 yrs. I got a haircut my senior yr and it was the best haircut I’ve ever gotten! I wish he moved to Boston where I’m at now.
Have Nardi cut your hair, he’s Albanian and very polite with his customers. He basically pampered me by washing my head and gelling it up for me just how I wanted. It cost something like $ 17 exc. tip and for that you can’t beat the price with the service/​attention that you receive.
If you’re in Worcester and not getting a haircut by Nardi, you’re doing it wrong. The ladies love it!

Had a GREAT experience here. I came in about a week ago to get a cut and color. Walking in I was absolutely impressed by how spacious it was and how luxuriously it is decorated. I was immediately greeted by the person sitting at the front desk and then he informed the stylist I had arrived. She attended to me promptly and brought me over to her station at which point she offered me an espresso. She was very friendly and very efficient with her time. She mixed up the color and applied it very well. After setting the timer she gave me a magazine that had hairstyles similar to the one I had described I might be interested in and helped me pick out one that would work with my hair. Afterwards she brought me over to the shampooing station and made sure I was comfortable, and by the way their sinks are very very nice, they don’t make your neck cramp, she made sure the water temperature was comfortable while still making sure the color would stay sealed in, as I got a shade of red and red washes out easier than regular color. She then brought me back to her station and go to cutting my hair. She did a phenomenal job making sure to cut only as much as she had to and giving my hair a ton of body and volume with some layering. Lastly she dried and styled my hair so well that it still looked great the next day. The next day all of my coworkers wanted to know where I’d gotten my hair done because it looked that phenomenal. The stylist that attended to me was Lillian and I would recommend this place to everyone I know. They are professional, courteous, and the salon itself is just enchanting and the prices are very reasonable.

I went to Adesso Hair Salon (108 suit 114 Shrewsbury Street, Worcester, MA. (508) 757‑7977) for the first time last week for a haircut. I drive by this salon every day and the large picture windows with a view into the salon leaves the potential client interested in going in to give them a try. Well, that’s at least how I felt. I walked in to my appointment and the place was dead– there was only one stylist (with a customer) and one other person sitting on the couch. (BTW, the couches are extremely uncomfortable. They must have been purchased because they look cool.) I was not greeted in any way when I walked in. I understood because the stylist was with a client, so I gave him some leeway here. I was finally greeted after the stylist had finished with his customer and answered a call on his cell phone.
The stylist ended up being the person who I had made an appointment with, (F.). He looked very unprofessional, unlike someone who works at high end hair salon. I showed him a photo of the hairstyle that I liked from a book they had, as well as several pictures of similar hair styles that I brought with me. He told me he understood what I wanted and proceeded to bring me to the sink to wash my hair before cutting.
The sink station was incredibly uncomfortable and he was scrubbing my head in a very rough way like he was washing a wet dog. Usually this is one of the most relaxing things about going to a salon! Not here.
His combing and cutting style was very rough too. The comb he used was the black thin kind that kids used to be given in middle school for picture day or to check for lice. All throughout my appointment he was distracted by the other person who was there when I first arrived– they were talking about where he put his car keys. I’m not sure what the relationship between the two was, but it was a clear distraction from what I was paying him to do. He also answered his cell phone in the middle of my appointment. When he was finished, my hair looked straight and flat, and nothing at all like any of the pictures I showed him. He didn’t even show me the back of my hair to make sure I liked how he cut it. Good thing I was going directly home or I would have been embarrassed to be seen in public.
F. told me that they have been open on Shrewsbury St. for about a month now and that they recently moved to this location from their June Street location (due to an argument with the owners, for which he was one of them???)
Over all, the salon was awful. No music playing– absolute silence. I was not greeted when I arrived, nor was I asked if I wanted anything (most salons will offer at least a glass of water). I will never go in there again and wanted to warn others about the lack of professionalism in this salon. The location might be great, but the service sucked.
And, this is the response I got from them «what kind of person are you!!! you get a haircut talked bad about it!!! we dont need people like you!!! because you go around salons and talked bad!!!» REALLY? Does that sound professional? Hence, my review.
