I've been coming to Barb for almost two decades (!) for cut, color, highlights, and various treatments for my very curly/dry hair, and I cannot recommend her more highly. She takes as much time as you need to discuss your options and concerns, checks in while working to make sure you're happy, sometimes even follows up afterwards if you had something big done. Her treatments are cutting edge (in all ways!) and beautiful; she accommodates whatever you need, and is always willing to look into a treatment she hasn't done before and get certified to do it. Personally, she is warm, fun to talk to, always a good time. For high quality hair treatments that won't break the bank, Barb is your woman. **Update: I now live back in NYC and i STILL come to western MA when I can to get my hair done by Barb!

I have very fine hair and had one of the best perms I have ever had and hair is still very healthy. The stylist was excellent and knowledgeable and suggested Olaplex to keep it in best shape. Highly recommend.

Had a very negative experience here with a terrible dye job...long process and extremely expensive. Don’t think the hairdresser knew how to work with pastel dyes. Addressed my dissatisfaction with the owner afterwards but she blamed me instead of trying to rectify.

Have been getting my haircut here for years, and wanted to finally write a review to let people know how great my experience has always been! Barb is knowledgable, professional, warm and really talented. Just got a fresh cut after months of lockdown and everything she's done to communicate & follow the new requirements put me right at ease. Thanks Barb!!

Barbara and all of the talent at Shear Xtreme Salon are fabulous! I stick with Barbara, because that is who I started with, but would happily make an appointment with any of the employees. Now in Easthampton, MA, the salon is equally as convenient as the previous location, in downtown Northampton. Barbara is genuinely invested in the inner and outer beautiful of her clients, including their health and well-being. She is open to non-toxic, sustainable products and is also invested in connection and support of her surrounding community. I would follow her wherever she goes and highly recommend Shear Xtreme Salon!
