Hair and Color Studio

I had an appt on 2÷13÷14 with Kylie. Of course, being here in New England, it was snowing/​raining/​icing — you name it! LOL! I had long hair that really needed a cut and years ago I had had a cut that really worked with my face shape, brought in pics and Kylie just hit it right on! I almost cried when she was done — I was so happy and thrilled and had lost about 7lbs of hair too! YAY! I’m one of those really loyal peeps for personal things (hair, skin, etc) and I will definitely be returning! Everyone was super nice and friendly and although we were 2 chatty girls, (I hate sitting still for long especially for hair) the time flew by! I have only let one person touch my eyebrows and inbtwn visits use the ‘olé tweezers — I would actually let it get done there so my regular eyebrow guru will be pleased! They are moving this weekend — just up the road and look forward to my next visit! Thank you so much!

Really love this salon and the stylists! Going on several recommendations, I called the Hair and Color Studio on Main St in downtown Gloucester. Making an appointment was quite easy after I’d described what I was looking for.
When I arrived for my appointment, I was offered my choice of assorted coffees, teas & freshly baked goods. My jacket was hung & I was given a tour. The salon is quite lovely. Each time I’ve been there, the staff has always been friendly, thoughtful, patient, & helpful. They’re a real team of skilled pros.
After I’ve spoken w/​Kelly or Elizabeth at length, they asked questions & made recommendations based on the shape of my head, texture of my hair, preferences, & other factors. They really took their time working w/​me & /(the other clients, I noticed, many of whom I know). Then they brought me back to the soothingly dimly lit shampoo room. They played soft music & explained the products they were using before they began shampooing, thoughtfully checking my comfort level w/​the water temp, etc. The bonus is that they give you a Wonderful head & neck massage while they’re shampooing & conditioning! Next come the warm towels on the neck – ahhh! How luxurious!
They cut & styled my hair, making light conversation w/​me and the others in the salon. They gave me tips & guided me through every step of the way. I loved my hair & have gotten many compliments & inquiries. And, to boot, the prices were so reasonable. The stylist explained to me that their notes go directly into the computer, «so we can keep track of what we did step-​by-​step & the results. Then next time, we can either duplicate that or make adjustments.» And, they all work together as a team, so if my regular stylist isn’t available & I’m in a pinch, one of the others can pick up from there. They also help each other throughout the day. It’s «A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon» & the owner, Catherine is also a National Educator for Paul Mitchell. All the stylists have ongoing education which translates into the latest techniques & styles!
It’s been quite a pleasant, satisfying experience each & every time, & they have a wide range of services that I’ll be trying. I am so happy w/​that I wish I’d come here sooner! (–Would have saved me a lot of time, $$$, & aggravation). Parking is at the metered street level, so plan accordingly.

It was very easy to get an appointment, loved the atmosphere. The stylistic (Elizabeth) gave me the exact cut I was looking for, as well as a great scalp massage! VERY reasonably priced. I highly recommend this salon!

I had such an amazing experience here! I had another local place flake out on me and had to cancel my appointment because they were double booked. Hair and Color Studio was able to fit me in right away, and they were super friendly and laid back with how last minute it was.
The salon is nice and clean, and there is great coffee and cookies for the customers while they wait. Lots of natural light. All the support staff were friendly and amazing.
Trina cut my hair and she was a dream come true in every way. We had a nice chat about how I wanted my hair cut and also what I wanted to achieve with the cut. She was able to make a few really helpful tips that I never would have thought of.
The shampoo was amazing. They take you into a warm room with nice low lights and soothing music. The towels are heated and the chairs are really comfy. It was one of the best shampoos and scalp massages I’ve ever gotten.
The cut itself was great. Trina’s friendly manner and the laid back atmosphere of the salon made the time fly by. The attention to detail was great! Trina made sure everything was perfectly even and exactly what I wanted.
I couldn’t beat the price too! What would normally have cost me around $ 60 at some of the other salons in town cost me half that at Hair and Color Studio.
I have definitely found my new regular place in town.

After going to the same hair stylist for 20+ years, my daughter convinced me to try this studio, which she was using. What a difference! Catherine did a great job evaluating my hair, suggesting a different style and color, and it’s been great. Elizabeth took over and does a fabulous job every time. They keep up with the latest styling and coloring methods, their shampoo room is a study in relaxation, their salon is always spotless. Love them! The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is because they are sometimes hard to get an appointment with because they are so busy!!! Not a bad problem to have.

I booked an appointment here on the advice of a friend who ALWAYS has fantastic hair. Best hair decision I’ve ever made.
I went in requesting a cut similar to my friend’s, but Catherine walked me through a style that would be much more flattering given my hair type and fall and the shape of my face.
The shampoo was phenomenal. You’re in a quiet, dim room with soft music and they give you a scalp massage. I felt so relaxed.
Then, Catherine spent time familiarizing herself with my hair and got to cutting. As she styled, she explained how I should maintain upkeep and made a few suggestions I’ve never thought about.
End result? The cut is so fantastic I skipped the gym just to keep looking pretty for the rest of the day.
Thanks Hair and Color Studio!

Great little salon. I’m only writing about the waxing services, as I’ve only had my brows done there twice, but never had my hair cut, but the service was great. The salon itself is super cute, seems very clean and cozy, and is has been busy (but never rushed) the few times I went there. A different stylist did my brows each time, but both did a great job. It’s $ 14 for a brow wax, which is super reasonable, and the location is very convenient. Yay Hair Color Studio!

This salon is fantastic.
I walked in there a few days before Christmas and was very happy to book an appointment with Kiley later that afternoon. I had heard a lot of wonderful things about this salon, and Kiley specifically, so I was SO happy to be able to book an appointment with her. She really listened to me when I described to her what I was looking for in a hair style and we agreed on a layered, angled bob. She did an amazing job. I LOVE it.
The salon is beautiful. Kiley gave me a little tour of the place before I sat down to get my cut and I loved the design. It was very warm and comforting to be there.
The staff all seem really happy to be working there and working with each other. It really instilled confidence in me as a client knowing that the stylists are happy to be working there.
After Christmas I went back for color and again, Kiley did a fantastic job. I was so happy with the results. It was exactly what I wanted.
I think that if you’re looking for a new salon, I definitely recommend The Hair and Color Studio. They’re a very busy salon, so definitely call for an appointment first. But I promise you that you’ll be very happy with your hair when you leave.

This is the best hair salon I’ve ever been to. It was opened last year by Gloucester local Catherine Cucuru. Originally, my mom and I were her clients at the place she used to work, Ambiance. When she opened her own salon, we followed her there. Catherine is an extremely talented hairstylist and she charges very reasonable amounts. She is much better than any stylist I’ve had for the same price else where. She also does my brother’s hair and he is a rock musician and very picky about his hair. The salon is very comfortable and stylish and always stocked with home baked treats made by Catherine’s mom. I definitely recommend this salon to anyone on Cape Ann.
