Style by Grayce

Janeen Jones has been my hair stylist for many years. She has also done my hair and make-​up for my four children’s weddings, showers, rehearsal dinners as well as other special events. Janeen also did the hair and make-​up for
brides and bridesmaids — often needing to do 10+ people for each wedding. She does an absolutely wonderful job. She has such talent and when it comes to making a «plain Jane» into a mother of the bride or groom, she is undeniably top of the line. I am so grateful to Janeen for her skill, vision and calm manner during stressful days!
I highly recommend Janeen Jones!

Remember when you used to go with your mom to her hair appointments and the salons were full of big-​haired ladies with sassy New York accents, those hair dryers that cover your entire head, and those kits of tight rollers for perms? Well, you can jump right back to the 90s if you head up 95 and route 3 to Style by Grayce.
I say this with the utmost love, since a dear friend of mine, Janeen, has a chair at this salon. I first met Janeen when I hired her for freelance makeup work and then saw her portfolio of crazy fashion photography shoots and thought she might know a thing or two about hair. I’d ask her questions about my own hair care routine, and she was nice enough to bring me shampoo and deep conditioning samples to nurse my wounded locks back to health, even though she wasn’t my stylist.
Fast forward to early April, when I needed to move a cut and color appointment at my usual studio and couldn’t find a time that fits. I made an appointment to see Janeen (after she quoted me a rate just over half what I usually pay in the South End to keep my coif looking fresh). As I alluded previously, the salon space is nothing to write home about (though they do have an impressive and current selection of the essential magazines: Glamour, Vanity Fair, and the like). My time in the chair was longer than I expected, but Janeen explained why she wanted to process my color a bit differently than I was used to getting it done – and we took time out to chat and look at videos on her phone, obviously.
I was super pleased with my results and have since gone back a second time. It’s a bit of a hike to Billerica, but the quality of work I get and the absurdly reasonable prices brought me back. It’s also worth noting they take cash or checks only.
But Janeen is awesome, really. She listened to what I wanted, has given me the best cuts I’ve had in a while, and somehow manages to give me a funky very unnatural look (which I love) that also grows out and wears well. She also does hair and makeup for weddings, and she’s an all-​around really nice person.
