Green Room

All I can simply say is — AMAZING! More than just a haircut… Jessica is just so impressive as a human being and a hair stylist. I’m at a loss for words… :-)

I simply like The Green Room. Highly recommended.
I have been a client for years now. Jessica delivers consistent results and is definitely service oriented.

For 7 years, the only stylists I had were the professionals of Green Room — Jessica. Since my coiffure is always an object of jaundicing and admiration.
The girls are real artists and a mastery of their subject is presented by awards of prominent competitions.
Except me, my husband and half a dozen of friends are their clients as well. Must say, for years of visiting Green Room salon I had never seen ANY dissatisfied customer.

The Green Room is a hidden gem. It took me 4 years to find a stylist in Boston and I will not be going anywhere else.
Jessica is crazy talented. Here’s how I know: 1) I personally love the color and my hair feels/​looks healthier 2) Without fail, every time I get a blowout or special occasion hair, the stylist comments on my impeccable color. 3) My boyfriend thinks it’s natural — which is impressive because I’m a medium brunette gone very blonde.
This is a one chair, high-​end salon tucked away in Beacon Hill. Service is extremely personalized — it’s completely normal to swap Pinterest photos back and forth for inspiration before my appointment. Jessica has stayed late and squeezed me in before important events.
It’s certainly an investment, but Jessica will go out of her way to make you happy. It’s worth it.

Great place, service, cut. Jessica replaced my Jon Lovitz look with a George Clooney just by cutting my hair.

I started going to Jessica almost a year ago, and I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair now. She and the entire Green Room experience are incomparable, and there is such a perk to it being a single-​chair hair studio. The environment is calm and completely catered to me and my tastes… from the music that is playing to my drink of choice. Jessica always starts our appointment by asking what I want my hair to say about me, which I love. One time I wanted to look like a «Russian Spy,» so she concocted this amazing mink color, gave me some bangs, and helloooo Natasha! My most recent visit (this past Wednesday), I told her I wanted to look composed and still love my cut/​color next month (in case my schedule prolongs the duration of time between visits). Done. She’s truly a color wizard, and I swear, every time I leave I’m like, «Omg this is my most favorite haircut ever.» Another thing I appreciate is that Jessica doesn’t expect me to implement a new hair routine, like other stylists have in the past. She curates a look based on my current routine. I’m fairly low-​maintenance when it comes to styling my hair, so she gives me cuts/​colors/​styling tips and tricks that fit my current lifestyle.
I can’t speak more highly of Jessica and the Green Room. If you want the best hair/​customer service experience of your entire life, GO HERE. You won’t go anywhere else ever again.

This review is way overdue but better late than never! I am one of those girls who walks into a salon and tells the hairdresser to do what she wants because I can never decide what I want to do with my hair. Of all the times I’ve done that, Jessica was the only one who had me walk out with complete satisfaction. She walked me through all the steps and told me what colors would look good on my skin tone, without ignoring my opinions. We decided to lighten my hair from jet black to platinum blonde and then apply a honey brown toner to remove the ashiness. The color came out GORGEOUS — I couldn’t stop looking at the mirror. Because the color in my hair took forever to lift, Jessica couldn’t finish the job in one day without compromising the health of my hair, so she generously opened her salon to me on one of her off days JUST so that I could have the perfect hair before my birthday. That was really sweet of her and I don’t know any other hair stylist that would have done that.
Yes, her services are pricey but I don’t regret a single penny I spent on her. She was professional, funny, smart and very very educated about the hair industry. I would not hesitate to go back to her! She’s awesome.
Also, it has been 6 months since I went to her and my did my balayage so naturally that my hair still look gorgeous AND it is not damaged! I can still run my fingers through my hair without encountering any knots when it is wet. Thank you Jessica!!!

Words can not describe how thankful I am to Jessica and Brogan both for their AMAZING customer service and overall just pure awesomeness. Jessica by far is the most talented hairdresser I have ever seen, and trust me I have seen my fare share of them. She discussed everything with me as the process was happening as well as prior to my appointment (which she also opened early for me 7am). Brogan asked all the right questions to schedule the correct booking! I have never be so impressed and so thankful. Jessica truly fixed what another South End Salon on Harrison (who shall remain nameless) did. I am the blonde I was born to be! THANK YOU JESSICA FOR BEING SO REMARKABLE…

By way of background, Jessica has been coloring my hair for about 2 years. Her speciality really is color and it’s what I would recommend going to her for. Since she started coloring my hair, there hasn’t been a single salon i’ve gone to for a style or cut where they didn’t compliment my color.
She’s one of those people where if you give her the high level overview of what you want (I want to look lighter and younger, i want beach color for my upcoming vacations etc), she can execute it to perfection, you don’t need to handhold her telling her every color you want (and i wouldn’t). I travel a lot so i don’t have a time to come fix my color every 6 – 8 weeks, i usually go 3 – 4 times a year and she’s always been really thoughtful about designing my color in such a way that i can go for extended periods without coloring it and it doesn’t look like there is a harsh divide on the top of my head where the root color is growing and the color begins. It’s a tiny salon, and the service is very good, they know all their customers and their life story. Book in advance, she’s got a stacked calendar. Also, my average color costs somewhere around $ 395 and it’s worth it but if you are traditionally used to dying your own hair at home with a box kit, this may not be your best option.

Wendi is great with kids too! She cut my 6 month old’s hair with great care and precision. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had.

First and foremost, I would like to start with a disclaimer — I am as vain as they come. I start dying my hair and changing my looks on a monthly basis at a very young age, which, of course, resulted in having been through many hair stylists. With that said, Wendi is the only hair stylist whom I trust my hair with. Like dating, you have to go through bad relationships to know what you don’t want.
I have to confess that there were weak moments in the past where I’ve ventured off to other hair stylists because our schedule didn’t align. And boy oh boy, did I learn my lesson the hard way!!! My cheating days are definitely over!
Wendi has been cutting, coloring and transforming my hair for almost a decade now. She has been with me through thick and thin (literally), through blonde and brunette, and through good days and bad days. I have super fine hair and it’s not always easy to work with. She would also correct my coloring when other hair stylists ruin it. You know you found «the one» when she makes you feel and look beautiful, inside and out, regardless of how crappy of a day you just had.
I have 100% confidence in Wendi’s skills, vision and creativity. I just let her go to town with my hair and do what she does best. And she never disappoints. Wendi always takes my hair to the next level — whether it’s with giving texture, the perfect length, and coloring with the right balance of light and rich warm tones. She has the magic touch and I would consider her to be the master of the ombré look — my color is always on point. Is there anything this girl can’t do?
Not only that, she’s friendly, funny, charming and so easy to talk to… and also, easy on the eyes, if you know what I mean! =) I always look forward to our time together. I would follow her wherever she goes. Now that she’s at the Green Room, it’s even better since it’s very convenient for me to get to. If you’re looking for an awesome, grade A hair stylist who will make you look and feel amazing and fabulous, then come see Wendi at the Green Room in Beacon Hill! You won’t regret it!!!

Wendi has been coloring and cutting for the past 2 years and I can’t think of a better stylist to go to. I used to use store bought hair dye to color my hair, but ever since I started going to Wendi, I don’t think I’ll every go back. She definitely has a keen eye for what looks good on you. I trust her judgement 100% and then some. Recently, I showed Wendi a picture of a hair color I had in mind (brighter than what I’ve done in the past) and let her work her magic. In a 2-​step process, Wendi transformed my dull hair to a subtle but vibrant red violet color. A quick trim finished the look to give it a sleek, shiny and healthy feel (pictures included). She definitely knows how to make a girl feel and look good.
Aside from being an amazing stylist, Wendi is very personable. You can talk to her about anything and everything and before you know it, you’ve made a new friend and you walk out with amazing hair. It’s a win-​win relationship.
As long as I continue to need my hair colored and cut, Wendi is my go to girl. I’m so glad she’s in Boston now and closer to work.
I highly recommend Wendi to everyone. Come try her out, I promise you won’t regret it.

Jessica is amazing! When I moved to Boston from California two years ago, I was dying my brown hair red and very hesitant to try a new stylist — I was so worried about it coming out too bright or fading too quickly. After reading Unilocal reviews of the Green Room, I booked an appointment with Jessica and now I wouldn’t even think of trusting my hair with anyone else! She is an incredible colorist; sometimes she’ll just give me a few hand-​painted highlights around the face to «make it look like you’ve been jogging on the esplanade all summer.» She is a true artist and will never let you leave her chair feeling any less than fabulous. Just go see her. Do it.

As someone with crazy curly hair its hard to find a colorist competent enough to know how to dye my hair with out damaging it and Marina was by far the best I’ve ever been to! I got a bright turquoise color with her advice and it looks beyond adorable. I’ve gotten tons of compliments since I went and I’m sure as hell going back when I visit boston this winter

Marina is wonderful! She is very skilled with color, cuts, and make-​up. Super personal, and makes sure you leave feeling like a rockstar. Every time I have her do my hair she is not only providing a service but an awesome experience. I look forward to coming in to see her every time! Prior to working with Marina I had my hair colored by various stylists for many years and it was dry, worn out, and not at its best. Marina was not only able to take me from dark brown to very blonde in a short amount of time, but my hair looks natural, is healthier than its ever been, and shines. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the awesome relationship I’ve built with Marina as a client. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

I’m an artist and maybe it takes an artist to truly appreciate another but Jessica truly is an artist. I have never been able to have that relationship with my stylist where I can sit in their chair and not have to tell them what to do, until now. I have been going to Jessica since 2007 and refuse to go anywhere else. One of the most fantastic aspects of working with Jessica is she’ll sometimes take just as long in her consultation with you as she does to style you. She takes into great consideration your personal style, how you wear it, what you do to style it and how long you want it to take and then couples it with highlighting your facial features
Her coloring skills are out of control. Every time I walk out of there, my eyes are popping with color and my skin is radiant. She gives you a skip in your step, a twinkle in your eye and that boost of self confidence you can only receive from truly great hair. She’s worth every penny and then some.

I’m new to Boston and decided to try this place out after reading other reviews. Actually that’s not 100% true– after reading other reviews I decided to send my HUSBAND to her first to see how his hair turned out. That might seem strange to some, but first you have to understand that my husband has this strangely textured hair as he’s ½ Korean and ½ white– and it’s very difficult to cut (poor guy has had some really terrible haircuts over the years). That said, Jessica did a fantastic job– in fact– I think she gave him the best haircut he’s ever had.
So when I went to see her, I had high expectations and Jessica did not disappoint. She took my ‘California blond’ hair and made it a gorgeous ‘new york blond’. I thought my hair looked good to begin with, but she took it and made it lighter, crisper, and more polished.
Not only did she do a fantastic job with cut and color, but she is a joy to chat with during the the process. And she even followed up with a phone call a couple of days later to see how I liked my hair– it was a great touch and showed that she really cares about her clients and her reputation. I’ll definitely be back!

My hair is a bit out of the ordinary. I sport my hair in a mohawk and like to change the color frequently. Think of it like the top of the Empire State building. I like it pink on Valentines day, Green on St. Patrick’s day, etc…
I tried out a few other places like Shag in the SouthE and Curl up and Dye in Newport, RI when I moved, but none of them really had the same creativity or imagination that I did. I stumbled upon Jessica when I happened to walk by the Salon where she was working and told me that she could color it better.
I was skeptic but gave it a try. That was 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve only let her do it and followed her to the Green Room. Some of the mohawk color jobs include Pink, Orange, Candy Cane Pattern, and a Flame Pattern.
She takes whatever time it takes to make it perfect and I love that she is just as into it as I am. She’s a brilliant person to talk to and I always love going there.
The only problem is that she’s getting so popular that I need to start booking my reservations in advance now. Of course, that is to be expected with the best!

An adorable, cozy salon with excellent service and an amazingly friendly stylist/​owner (whose expertise is color) nestled in Beacon Hill.
After 5 years of testing out places like Beaucage, Aveda, Shimon Salon, James Joseph Studio, and A Côté, I finally found a super-​friendly stylist who did my highlights exactly how I wanted them — I have dark brown hair and wanted subtle, NOT strikingly blond, highlights. I brought in a few photos of what I was looking for — Jessica happily discussed these with me and when we were on the phone discussing the appointment, she had also asked me to bring in a few photos from when I was a kid (so she could see what ‘natural’ highlights might look best on me). Her expertise is by far color and you can tell she loves what she does! She uses a combination of hair color lines, selecting what she considers the best from each of the lines, which she’s able to do because she’s not bound to one color-​line like larger salons.
I also had a fabulous hair cut, and she patiently showed me what I need to do to get my bangs the way I want them — most of the time, I’m not patient enough to do this but it looks great when I do! But, she’ll tell you herself that her passion is really for color.
Jessica is the owner of this itty-​bitty salon (there’s only two stations and so far, she’s the only stylist) and it’s clear she has put her heart into both the services and the design of the place — so cute! (look at the pictures!) I instantly felt like I was visiting a friend rather than entering a sterile salon with snobby personnel (as is too often the case in Boston, particularly Newbury St.).
And, did I mention on top of being a great stylist, she’s also super-​friendly? My first time there, we actually had a 2-​hr conversation and typically, I’m not one to talk much to my stylists (I hate small talk and feigned interest). And, she’s always well-​groomed and stylish (which always makes me feel more comfortable when someone’s about to do my hair!).
Of course, I found Jessica right before I moved to the West Coast — my loss is your gain! :)

I LOVE Jessica. She is so amazing, such some of the best work I’ve seen and is worth every single penny and then some! I live in NJ and I make my trips to her for my highlights ever other month. So happy that she has a new place and it just so cute! Congrats can’t wait to see you in two months!
