Zona Professional

I got a groupon in my email at 10:47 this morning advertising a cut and botanical hair therapy for $ 29.00. It was a great deal so I hit buy at 10:50. All sold out but the more expensive offers were still available. Seems like bait and switch to me.

Just had an appointment with Dana this afternoon for my first visit to this salon, and couldn’t be happier! She was knowledgable and able to understand what I was looking for. My color and cut are perfect. I have fine hair and have never loved my haircut due to lack of volume or it being flat and thin when it’s blow dried. The blow dry after my haircut today was better than any high end blowout bar I have been to. My hair is so full of volume and styled perfect for my hair type. I will definitely be back!

I recently came to the salon by reading reviews on Unilocal about how wonderful the service was-​because I am VERY particular about my hairdresser, I was a little nervous. I recently moved to the Boston area to attend graduate school and needed a little distraction as finals came to a close.
I scheduled an appointment on a Saturday and was paired with Colleen. WOW. She is amazing! She is naturally artistic and has a great eye for design. I got a color, deep conditioning treatment, and cut. I cannot remember the last time I LOVED everything about the experience at the hairdresser. My hair looks fantastic and I am so so so happy. I would definitely recommend giving the salon a try.

I don’t stick to one stylist and for the most part, I have experienced satisfactory cuts UNTIL NOW. My recent cut looked fine down, but when I went to put it up at the gym… I was aghast to find a huge chunk cut so short that it is impossible for me to put my hair up. Don’t get me wrong, my usual perspective is that hair grows back and I would say I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to a cut. But leaving your customer with a huge chunk of hair sticking out the side of my head is haircutting 101’s NO-​NO. Shocking.

Recently moved to the area and not making the trek in to Boston just to get my hair cut. I drive past Zona all the time and I always thought it looked nice and decided to give it a try. I called Thursday late morning and got an appointment for 7:30 that same day. The receptionist was very polite and I liked how she asked me what I was looking for and asked me specific questions.
Kristen cut my hair and as long as I live here I’ll be going to her. Everything from the wash to the cut to the style was amazing. When she started to style it I was a little skeptical, I don’t usually like my hair curling around my face which is what she was doing when blow drying but I’m glad I didn’t say anything. It looked fantastic when she was done. Just before she was done she asked me how I felt about bangs, and she’d been doing such a great job I told her to go for it. So glad I did.
my appointment was an hour long and the service was great so I was surprised at how inexpensive it ended up being.
Great location, great staff, great facility, fantastic price.

I have been living in the south shore area for over a year and before that, I was living in Brighton, and only getting my hair cut once a year (sometime longer) from the hairdresser an hour away that I had always gone to! Over the years I have tried a few salons but none of them wowed me. Zona WOWED me. From the atmosphere, to the head massage, to the excellent stylists and the perfect haircut! I found out about them through Groupon, but I will gladly be going back. And more than once a year finally :)

I found Zona through a Groupon, and have never looked back! I love them.
Shannon MacDonald is the best stylist I’ve ever had. She is so sweet, professional, and talented. I recommend her 100 000%. She does phenomenal work and truly cares about her clients. I genuinely look forward to getting my hair cut with her! I always look awesome!
The salon is very nice and easy to get to!
Love this place!

I gave Zona a shot after moving from LA to MA and getting some great recommendations from family members in the area. My aunt and cousins get their hair cut here, and they’ve always had great experiences and walked out really happy, so I figured I’d give it a try.
I’d never been to an Aveda salon, and when I called I asked the receptionist to book me with someone senior who was good with creative color.
Short version of hair back story: I like to play around with my color, and have done two (now three) color corrections in about two years. I’ve done the ombré thing and gone back, and my target color is an even, red copper, a smidge brighter than naturally possible.
I go to my appointment with high hopes, after finding the receptionist and facility to be really nice. It’s been a few months now– I actually debated writing this review as I don’t like to write the not so nice ones– so I don’t remember the stylist’s name.
The stylist was perfectly nice, but as I explained the history of my hair and talked a little about expectations, she got nervous in a subtle way. I didn’t think about it until after the fact, but I should have known I was in trouble when she didn’t show me a swatch.
Anyways, I ended up a brunette.
I’m naturally a brunette. I mean, I think I am. I haven’t seen more than a quarter inch of my natural color since I was eleven.
Side note: I was leaving town for training for a new job two days after this appointment. Where I was having professional photos taken. That will now follow me for the life of my tenure at this job.
In the salon lights it looked vaguely red. I didn’t panic. I didn’t cry. I knew what this meant.
Color correction to go lighter again. More color to try to get it brighter seemed plausible. Maybe I’d like being a darker shade of red?
I washed it. All vague red notes washed out. Took pictures. With a nice shade of brown hair. Damn.
The next month I figured I’d make an appointment and see if the stylist could help me get back to my redness. She’d left the salon group by that point… so I tried again, this time at the Hingham location, because they are open Sundays.
Again, very nice salon, really lovely staff… and this time, Sharon Osbourne cherry coke, dark blue-​toned red hair. No swatch shown. Under the salon lights again, it just looks red.
A week later, I officially hate it!
I decide maybe I don’t like getting my hair done on the east coast. Maybe I should make millions at my new fancy job so I can fly back to California monthly for color? Unrealistic.
Long story short, I’ve found a new spot, done my color correction, and I’m copper red again. I almost, ALMOST didn’t write about it, because I didn’t really give these guys a chance to fix their mistake, and considering that it was a great experience, i certainly wouldn’t want to write a truly bad review over something that’s essentially a training point for us both.
That training point? Swatches.
If you’re crazy like me, and you color and color and color, make sure you see a swatch the first time.
If you’re a stylist and a nut job sits in your chair with a back story, show her some swatches, and deliver the color she’s asking for, even if it means you have to pull in a manager!

Love this salon! I recently had a cut, color, and foil done by Bob– he was excellent! The stylists and receptionists were all incredibly friendly and accommodating; the overall experience was definitely above average. Plus, you can NEVER go wrong with Aveda products!

I desperately needed a haircut before leaving for the Christmas holiday and since Zona Norwell was totally booked, I was advised to go to Zona in Weymouth since they had openings that afternoon. I had an appointment with Eileen booked.
When I got there, the salon was running behind, but I was offered the chance to work with Shannon (who worked as a junior stylist under my normal stylist, Kristen, at the Norwell location). Sure! It seemed like the front desk was a little unorganized, but it was clear that they had a lot of last minute appoints to attend to.
I received a great haircut and had a great time. The salon was really clean and modern, but there was just a lot of empty, blank space. Yet, it was still warm and inviting.

I’ll keep it short and sweet… Eileen is by far one of the best stylist I have had style my hair! Every time I return Eileen welcomes me with a hug and her genuine personality. Everything from her colors, foils, cut and styles are on point! If you’re looking for a down to earth, personable, talented stylist you have found your girl!
Donna the receptionist was very helpful as well… Job well done Zona.

What an excellent experience! Walking in I was greeted by Ashley the receptionist who was sporting awesome blue hair and a warm welcome! She immediately offered me tea or water, I choose water, which was flavored with fresh lemon! Yum! She introduced me to my stylist Meredith who sat me down and hashed out what cut and look I was going for. During my wash she gave me and amazing massage which set me up for a relaxing day at the salon. Meredith walked me through the products she was using and what they did to enhance my look. After my cut and styling I got another massage!!! That’s right two! I left the salon feeling relaxed and beautiful! You can see why they won Boston’s best! I’ll be sure to make it my new salon!

Purchased a Groupon yesterday and was able to get right in. Shannon did an excellent job! I will be returning!

So pleased to have finally taken the plunge with an appointment at Zona in Weymouth. Bob did a great job with my color and cut — exactly what I asked for. Multidimensional color that looks natural and «me.» He was also very nice and helpful.
The salon is also very nice. Minimalist but inviting with reclaimed wood and big open spaces. The receptionist was so sweet and helpful too.
It can be traumatizing trying to find a new hair stylist, but I had no reason for fear coming to Bob at Zona! Thank you!

Very nice salon I used a groupon deal and had Lindsey. She did a wonderful job with my hair color, cut and deep conditioning. I would recommend this salon and will definitely be coming back!

The first time or two I came to Zona was with a fantastic Groupon deal, but I’ve had such great experiences generally that now I’d consider myself a regular. The prices are fair and much more reasonable than the city. I most often pop in for a blowout, but have also had several cuts and color at least once or twice (with Kristen or Allesandra). Getting an appointment has been no trouble at all far in advance or day-​of, the entire staff is pleasant and friendly, parking is easy, and the ambiance is high end. Highly recommended for a great salon experience on the South Shore.

Got my hair done by Eileen, she is fantastic! My highlights look so natural and healthy, I’ve been getting compliments from everyone! I highly recommend her and the salon.

Hillary is the BEST! Just had my second cut with her, and I really can’t say enough about her. I’m so glad I decided to buy my initial groupon for a cut here. Hillary was generous enough to offer me the groupon rate if I rebooked a second appointment with her, and she did such a great job I couldn’t wait to rebook.
It is so hard to find someone who understands curly hair, but she cut it exactly how I wanted. I had to do a pretty substantial chop because I had a bad ombré done, but she eased me into it, and made the style work so the length didn’t seem so daunting. Also she gives a kickass blowout. I am so happy to have found a good stylist!

New to the area & bought a Groupon for haircut. Kristen cut my hair and did such a fabulous job! Easy to chat with while sitting there. I will definitely be retuning to Kristen for all my regular cuts! Also, they are an Aveda salon so you can get all your products on the way out! Wonderful place, courteous staff!

I can’t say enough about this Salon and my stylist, Eileen!
I bought a Groupon knowing little about this salon other than that it is an Aveda salon. My ‘regular’ stylist is on maternity leave and when it came time for my summer do, I knew Aveda’s reputation, training, and high standards would translate. I was not wrong!
From the moment I walked into the gorgeous, industrial loft-​style salon, I was treated like a VIP. My sweater was taken off my shoulders and I was immediately offered a choice of replenishing beverages. Talk about hospitality!
My stylist, Eileen, came to greet me with vigor and excitement. She was as thrilled to be styling my hair as I was to have it styled. I described what I wanted for color and came with a picture in tow (see the picture I posted of my hair vs. the photo Mrs. Timberlake :-) Eileen was gracious and confident. She made sure she understood what I wanted, and moreover, made sure I understood what she was doing and why!
Other than walking out of the salon with the perfect cut and color, Eileen made this new, unfamiliar salon feel like a place I’d been a million times. Her friendliness, comical conversation, and a genuine interest in me (not just my hair) made this experience one I will be happy to pay full price for in the future!
Thanks again Eileen!
