Absolutely loved my first experience with Caren. So attentive and knows what she's doing. Such a fun personality too, had me smiling and laughing during the whole haircut. Even with my asian hair, she knew how to best approach it and even walked me through the specific differences that she accounts for in different hair types. She gave me exactly what i wanted and even provided input and advice about how to imrpove the look. There's a special kind of feeling in finding a hairstylist who you know will be your go to. I'm glad to have found someone I can go to for the next 4 years while in college.

It isn't easy to find a great hairdresser but it was easy to see that my next door neighbor's hair started looking great, with a new hairstyle that brings out her beauty. just right for her. That was several years ago. I'm forever grateful to my neighbor and to Caren, who studies the science of hair, is highly skilled, and has a knack for design that suits the person. And her cuts grow in beautifully.

Caren is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. She is like if Einstein and Picasso had a baby for curly hair. If you have curly hair, or any hair for that matter, go see Caren, she’ll change your life :)

I attend regularly for hair cuts. Caren is amazing, attentive and cares very much about what she does.

Came here for a wax, and Caren provided the best experience I've ever had! She's a true expert; she made sure I was comfortable throughout, and was awesome to chat with. Will definitely come back.

Caren totally ignored what I asked for even though I showed her pictures, both of what I wanted and what I didn't want. It seemed like she just didn't like the style. She also hurt my feelings by making an ignorant and uncalled for comment about my acne. She came recommended, but it was a huge waste of money. I'll never go back.

Caren has a lot of glowing reviews, but I'd just like to add that she really knows men's hair too. Having lived in a major metropolitan area, I was used to a certain standard of cut and style, and that's been very hard to find — until I ran into Caren! She listens to what you want — and then makes it 10 times better than you were expecting.

I came here a couple of times about 2 years ago because of the glowing 5 star reviews. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't so great. Caren is a lovely person; however, the last time I went there she decided to cut my baby hairs on the side of my face (I'm not white, so I tend to have quite obvious baby hairs) and honestly ever since then they have been a total nightmare to deal with; just 10 times worse. Never went back.

I went in to have my hair dyed back to my natural color (brunette) after a couple years of having it bleached blonde. Caren expertly mixed colors to get just the right tone and explained every decision that she made with great detail. I could tell how experienced she was and she shared a lot of tips about after-color care that I hadn't heard from any of the professionals I had visited before.

Megan... You are right. You did have a terrible experience. There is no excuse for that service you have received this week. Generally common compassion dictates there are reasons for faults. suggestions for any clients who would like to avoid this issue... please have the person taking your phone number repeat the phone number you gave to the business. The reason a business takes a phone number is because there are personal matters that may interfere with business appointments and when it is incorrect or your voicemail is full, it is difficult to call you. Such as this instance. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Also, when a stylist is busy and may run late, these issues may come as a result of clients running behind themselves, and when a stylist has more than 2 in a day things can get a little messy for others down the line. Most stylists, like myself sometimes, need to skip their lunches in order to keep a balance in their day for coming clients. The best I can say to this matter as soon as possible is to say that I am regretfully apologetic for this young woman's experience, and I would invite her to return if she so wished. I would Never hold her comment as invalid or as harsh. She spoke the truth, and I see it as an educational opportunity to address it and even legitimize her moment; sadly not in my chair. And my chair is still open for new clients for future appointments. Thank you. Caren: Amherst Hairstylists

First of all, the service here was terrible. This lady is impossible to get ahold of! I spent two months trying to book an appointment! I called multiple times a week and left many messages with my phone number and she never got back to me. Then when I did finally make an appointment she made me wait 30 minutes before I even got in. Then I made another appointment because I figured I would give her another shot, and I go to my appointment and she already closed even though I was 20 minutes early. She did not even call me to let me know. Such a disappointment. Terrible service, and terrible business etiquette. I would not suggest going to see here. She seems to be fine with the clients she has and clearly has no intentions on expanding her business to new clients. Never going back.

Caren is a very good hairstylist intuitively. She is caring and understanding and she reads my mind very well. When I told her that my Asian hair is quite hard to cut, she immediately assured me that she had tons of experience with Asian hair and she knows exactly the difference and which techniques she should use. I had some doubts when she told me that but my hair turned out great after she cut it so now I'm a believer. Besides when I try to describe what I want, I said I like my hair look young, current but smart, she understood it right away and showed me a picture of my desired hair and I agreed completely. I will definitely come back!!!
