Hair & Grace Salon

I have never been more disappointed in a hair salon and rather shocked that they have received such high ratings. I went in over memorial day weekend for what I thought would be a great hair cut after reading all the reviews. I wanted a simple full foil and trim and hopefully a new salon I could call home. I consistently get full foils and they ALWAYS cover all my grays, I have NEVER had an issue.
Unfortunately, neither happened that day. To start, I arrived on time only to be told they were «running a bit late». The assistant/​receptionist asked if it was my first time and how did I hear of the salon. I quickly answered that I found it on Unilocal,hoping it would show that I did my research and was looking for a new place and that as a potential new return customer, I would be well taken care of at the Salon. This did not happen either.
LITERALLY AN HOUR LATER I WAS SEATED. There are not enough magazines to get through a grueling hour of waiting to get your hair done-​oops I mean to just get seated in a stylist chair. I was baffled at how this seemed OK, especially for a new customer and better yet, someone who found it online and on Unilocal.Do they not know Unilocal?
AN HOUR ON MEMORIAL DAY!!!
While I was seated, the assistant at that point let me know that the front desk help had double booked me (although I booked two weeks prior). I thought to myself, how is this my problem? Minutes later, I wondered why the hell I waited two weeks for this place and that I should have taken my business elsewhere, clearly. Moreover, I was hopeful that I would probably get some form of compensation, most places I go to I will get a discount or some swag for having to deal with this type of a wait. Oh wait, I have NEVER HAD TO WAIT A FULL HOUR to just get seated! But if I have to wait over 15 minutes, I get compensated.
Anyway, the stylist seemed agitated that I was there and barely said one word to me. It was awkward and uncomfortable, I tried to make small talk and than wondered why was I, «the customer», trying to maker her comfortable? It was bizarre. I asked if I was the last person of the day (it was now 4PM, my appointment was at 2 PM– Pool parties, BBQs, the usual memorial day party type thing was completely out of my agenda at this point– not that she cared). I had figured since she seemed so agitated, perhaps she was just trying to get through me and end her day, nope! I was not the last. The assistant was pleasant and i like her, but she was not the one doing my hair. They stylist worked fast to get my foils in and than set me aside to go on to the next client.
So, finally it came time to me to get my hair washed. I thought maybe some good would come out of this alleged great scalp massage when getting shampooed. Color me underwhelmed, the water was cold and she left dye in my ears (found it when I got home and it gave me a rash– thanks).
She did an ok hair cut, then again, how can you mess up a trim? The FULL FOIL looked like a partial as you can still see a lot of gray. I always get a full foil at other places and it is always covered. This is just ridiculous, I have had MULTIPLE people tell me to call and have her redo or get my money back. I paid full price for this alleged full foil, because I never got a discount or money off for the ridiculous wait.
I FINALLY got an apology as I was cashing out from the stylist. Because, she never apologized for the wait until I was handing her money and tip. And when she handed me a slim box and her card, I thought, oh maybe she is going to do something nice, perhaps a lipgloss, mascara, or something… only to find a pen? That was the topping on the cake of distaste.
Honestly, I wanted to go in and like this place but at every turn it fell short, I wish I had a warning and took my business elsewhere.

I called last minute to see if they had any availabilities today or tomorrow and they said they could take me if I got there right away so I rushed over. I was hurriedly throw in a chair and asked how I liked my hair I told her sleek and straight. I had just gotten straight dream catcher extensions but have naturally curly hair. I informed them this over the phone. The whole blow dry she was making comments under her breath and pulling and ripping through my hair then had the gall to ask me if I had SYNTHETIC hair in! Are you serious?! Then her next client came in she huffily finished my hair. My ends were terrible and she didn’t even use a straightener at the end! My hair was still frizzy and on top of that didn’t use hairspray or add volume in the back like I asked. As soon as her client came in she basically wanted to get me off her chair as quick as possible. Terrible service. I hate my hair and for what the price was I should’ve left happy. Go anywhere else but here.

Trying to find a good Korean hair salon, let alone a good Korean restaurant in the Boston/​Metrowest area, is as hard as getting a 2400 (now 1600 I guess; screw you new generation of high school students!!!) on the SATs.
BUT!!!
Hair & Grace Salon is a GAME CHANGER. I do not have to drive all the way to Allston (a.k.a Boston K-​town) and struggle to find parking, just to get a haircut.
Grace (from…
«you GUESSED IT! hair n GRACE salon»
seems to be the only one running this business, but she gets the job done in a prompt and professional manner. So make sure to give her a ring and get yo appointment scheduled ra now (her schedule is more packed than your Chipotle burrito so make sure to do this in advance)
*****PRO TIP
If you’re coming from the dirty south, make sure to stay on the left lane on {126} because the right lane is right turn only
I had to learn it the hard way and take a full loop around and back at it again

I can’t say enough good things about Grace. I’ve had a hard time finding anyone in my area that is consistent. I have been to her twice now & both times had 5 star service. She’s a one woman show for her business but still goes above a beyond to make sure each client gets her undivided attention.
My first experience was getting an ombré. It was busy that day & she had a couple clients but still gave me the attention I needed and my hair came out amazing. So amazing I let it go for MONTHS only getting a trim once. I loved it so much I went back with my horrible dead ends and all. She brought my hair back to life ! I got highlights and some angles cut. There was one other client that came in while I was there & the phone was ringing off the hook but she still made me feel like I was her number one client !
Not only is she skilled & professional, but she is so sweet and personable as well, she even remembered me from the first time. I don’t think I’ll ever go to anyone else, I travel ³⁰⁄₄₀ mins to go to her !

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This salon is located directly on Route 126 (at 914 Concord St). It is NOT located on Old Connecticut Path, no matter what my car’s GPS might say!
I’m a bit late in writing this but wanted to note that I had a 5 star experience. All the other reviews are right! I had a very important event to attend, and my previous hair stylist was fully booked and could not fit me in for an appointment. I checked good olé’ Unilocal to find a highly rated local salon either in or near Sudbury. I was able to book an appointment with Grace on short notice as her last appointment on a Friday evening. She apologized that she was running a little behind and was still working on the prior client when I showed up because the client before that one had been late after being stuck in rush hour traffic. No worries, I made myself at home in the small but comfy seating area, well stocked with coffee/​tea (and real teacups), bottled water, and plenty of little snacks, all free.
When it was my turn, Grace consulted with me in advance of going to wash my hair. I showed her some photos from the internet on my phone of the kinds of things that I had in mind, and discussed generally my concerns and preferences. I was going for a different hairstyle than what I had coming in. Or, I should say, I was going for an actual hairstyle, versus the complete lack of style I had coming in. It required cutting several inches off my long hair and going instead for a shorter/​medium-​ish haircut, just brushing the collar.
Grace is very gifted with scissors. I have had my hair cut in several different countries and major world cities (London, NYC, Japan, Australia, Singapore, etc) and I’ve never seen anyone move that fast with scissors, and the fact that she produced such an expert cut at such high speed is beyond comparison. Sometimes I couldn’t see the scissors actually cut, she was that fast with them. That said, she wasn’t hurrying me by any means. She was just VERY skilled with scissors. She spent a long time making sure everything that both she and I were extremely happy with every aspect of the haircut and style. She never once complained about the time (last appointment on Friday night), or hurried me, or seemed tired in any way. The only thing I noted was that her stomach growled one time, but so did mine! The poor lady was working straight through dinnertime after working all day, without any break between customers and she gave me her full energy, expert attention and enthusiasm as if I were the first customer of the morning and an old friend, not the last customer at night and a new one as well.
My hair came out better than I expected. I have naturally slightly wavy hair that gets limp and fine on top and frizzy and puffy on the ends. I usually end up working hard to straighten it to get some order in it, or else just pull it back. Grace gave me a style and cut in such a way that it looks pretty either straightened, or straightened plus a curl/​flip on the ends, or just left naturally wavy and scrunched a bit to bring out the wave/​curl. It also looks good completely down or partly up in a barrette, and is just long enough that I can pull it back into a little short ponytail for when I want to keep my hair off my neck or out of my way, like when burping a baby on my shoulder or when exercising. It also looks very professionally put together, but in an unfussy way. I LOVE that I can take the time to make it look different with heat tools, or if I’m in a hurry, I just scrunch it with a dab of serum or a spritz of hairspray and let it air dry and I’m good to go in a minute. I’m really impressed because the one and only time I ever had a hairstyle that supposedly worked equally well with my hair wavy or straightened it was such a disaster that I literally cried and then waited several months (of wearing it up) to grow it out enough to cut it into a more basic style. So, I am, a month or so later, still so thrilled with this haircut! I’m a busy working mom and do not have time to mess around with styling tools most days, but this hair style is easy to take care of and looks nice! It somehow just works! Grace adapted the styles I showed her with modifications so they would suit my hair type and hair thickness. Oh, and the price was very reasonable!
Also note, there is loads of parking in the parking lot. If you are coming from north, the salon is tucked behind a high row of hedges or trees so it’s hard to see it until you are just about to pass it, so just after you cross Old Ct Path (headed south) it’s right after a row of houses, just look on the right for a sign that says a massage spa and pull into that same lot (just at/​before that massage sign) and the salon is in a small converted house set back at the back of the parking lot.
I will definitely be going back to Grace and will also be sending my mother to her as well, since her hairstylist just moved away.

This place is a gem! Grace is very cool, very friendly and very professional. Her salon is nice and clean with a modern feel. Best of all, Grace knows hair! I’m thrilled to finally have found this place and I plan on going back regularly!

This place is a hidden gem! I went here based on Unilocal reviews after deciding that a trip to my previous salon in Boston was not worth the drive. Grace the owner/​stylist is the nicest and warmest woman I’ve encountered in this business. She gave me a great haircut and lowlights to darken my blonde hair to a beautiful light brown with golden highlights. The entire time I was there Grace and her assistant made sure I was comfortable and relaxed by offering water/​tea, magazines and even cookies. The salon itself is warm and cozy that you instantly feel comfortable the moment you step in through the door. It’s beautifully decorated and very clean, you can tell that Grace takes a lot pride in her place. I will definitely be coming back!

Thanks to the glowing 4– and 5-​star Unilocal reviews, my sister & I discovered this gem of a salon when my mom was visiting from out of town and needed a haircut over the Christmas holiday of 2014. Grace did such a fantastic job on my mom, that I had to try her services for myself since my normal stylist was sidelined with an injury. I was so happy with with my cut and color that I am now a regular client! Grace is a good listener with great ideas and technique that she puts into action for your benefit.
In fact, I booked Grace and her makeup artist, Carol for my wedding this summer. My bridal party & I all loved how Grace & Carol brought out the best in all of us! The photos I have posted should speak for themselves. Hair & Grace is also now my go-​to place for getting glam for special occasions.

Grace is extremely kind and a great hair stylist! I am new to the area and was worried about finding a new hair salon. I am so relieved to have found this place. She cut my hair exactly as I wanted and the price point was great as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone. :)

After moving to Framingham, I had to find a new salon as my old salon was 45 minutes away. I am so glad I found Grace! She is one of the nicest ladies I’ve ever met and can she do hair! She is now my go-​to stylist! I have done 2 colors and 2 cuts with her and each time I’ve walked out with a smile on my face! The salon is nicely decorated and her hospitality is exceptional. I would recommend Grace to anyone!

I had a wonderful hair cut experience at Hair & Grace Salon. Grace herself is a very nice lady. She listened to how I wanted my hair to be cut, added her advise and cut my hair perfectly. She also gave hair care tips for me.
The Salon itself is kept very nice clean. The waiting area has complimentary coffee and tea. The restroom is cutely decorated. This shows how Grace really dedicated to her Salon.
This really ends my long searching for a great Salon. I am definitely a regular customer here. And I strongly recommend anybody looking for a Salon to try Hair & Grace Salon.

Love getting my hair cut here best cut so percise. The color they do is wonderfull too.

Great find while attending a conference in Framingham. Intimate salon with beautiful décor. Accommodated me and a friend for an unscheduled pedi on a Friday afternoon. Gracious owner and staff. Loved the pedi too.

Best haircut and highlight I have ever gotten!!! I love it sooo much! Thank you, Grace!

Best haircut I’ve had for years!!! I have the most difficult Asian frizzy hair. And Grace did a fantastic job with it. Her price is so reasonable for her service. You will have to pay a lot more for this level of expertise in the city. So happy that I found her in the Metrowest area. And I will not go to anyone else but her from now on. Not to mention her salon is so clean and nicely decorated, super cozy. Give her a call for everything you need for your hair, you would not be disappointed!!!

Excellent performance by Grace today.
Since my go-​to hair stylist had moved out of the state, I have been trying several stylists in my area for 8 months. After having all the unpleasant to average results, the search has finally come to an end.
I am a somewhat captious male client.
I have typical straight Eastern Asian hair.
I do not possess much knowledge in hair styling (but picky anyway), hence, I usually end up ineffectively communicate and interact with the stylist.
None of above bothered Grace at all.
Despite my fuzzy instructions, Grace effortlessly optimized my hair in accordance with my skull shape and facial structure. That was after she saved my hair from a difficult situation left by the previous hair stylist.
I appreciate her professionalism, skill and experience, which she has demonstrated today.
A «5-​star» rating well deserved!
Key factors of today’s pleasantness,
–High-​end professional techniques/​attitude;
–Sincerity;
–Delicate environment;
–Well maintained equipments;
–Intuitive communication, minimal instruction;
–Hair dryer education (been doing it wrong!);
–Hair product application education;
–Extra scalp massage (!!), eyebrows trimming.

Grace is an AMAZING hair artist — I cannot rave about her enough! She did my hair for my wedding (June 2015) and did an incredible job, not only me but all of my bridesmaids and mother. She is a true professional, a GEM to work with, and IMMENSELY TALENTED!

Grace is amazing! I went in last minute for my eyebrows and she was so meticulous and great, I’ve never had such a good experience. They have NEVER looked so good either… I will be going back for sure! Best part is my three month old daughter loved her just as much. Go! Go! Go! You won’t be disappointed!

I wish I could give 7stars. Grace was very nice and the salon is clean and nice. I got hair cut, she knew the type of my hair and adjusted the layers and shape that fits to my face!

I also found Hair & Grace through Unilocal.I’ve gone to the same hairdresser for a long time and the haircuts were good, but never great. The haircut that Grace give me yesterday was the best one that I’ve had in years.
In the past I’ve had to wet my hair and take a brush or comb to get the same look as when it was cut. Not any more. This morning I just dry brushed it and every hair fell right into place. The haircut looks exactly as it did when I left the salon.
Grace was extremely kind and welcoming and makes you feel comfortable.
Hair and Grace is my new salon. If you’re looking for a stylist who listens to what you want and knows how to cut hair, then look no further!
