The Designory Hair And Makeup Studio in Salem, MA

I came home from my appointment today and a neighbor goes "your hair looks so good! Where did you get it done?". That should tell you everything you need to know! I booked an appointment online to come in and see Alaina. She spent 3.5 hours bringing my vision of wanting to go back to blonde to life. Her knowledge and expertise shine through in the results. On top of that, the products in the salon are top notch. I am so happy with how my hair came out and cannot wait for the chance to go back!

Had a hair cut here with Mel, it was just okay. On a positive note the salon itself was very clean and lots of windows made for great natural light.

I hired Ally and Liz for my wedding hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. I cannot say enough about this buisness. They transformed me from an ordinary girl to a disney princess on my special day. Ally listened to exactly what i was looking for and my hair came out gorgeous. Elizabeth took the time to find out what i was looking for in a makeup look and really delivered! They came to our hotel and finished 8 members of our bridal party and myself right on time. 100% recommend for anyone wanting to look their absolute best on their wedding day

FINALLY I have found my hair place, Alaina is amazing! I am not one to leave reviews, ever, but I am so happy with my hair I needed to share! I moved here last year after 5 years in the city, where I became used to a consistent and reliable stylist that always gave me the perfect blended and natural looking honey gold balayage I was after. When I moved here I started to scour Yelp reviews trying to find a local hair salon to make my new 'go to', and had A LOT of trial and error (crying in my car at the orange streaky highlights on my head 3-4 times). I was about to give up, but decided to try one last time and stumbled upon the Designory. I had Alaina and she immediately made me feel super comfortable and welcome. She asked me so many more questions than previous stylists did to assess what I was looking for, asked to see my pictures more than a few times to triple check she understood what I wanted, and she just nailed it. I finally felt like I looked like myself after a long year of botched hair. She was so personable and easy to talk to, gave great hair product advice and tips without forcing product on me, and the salon was super clean, COVID friendly, and comfortable. I couldn't be happier, trust me when I say-do not hesitate to book here!

I got my hair done at the Designory a couple weeks ago, like I always do, and it looks amazing as ever! Melanie is my stylist and she is just the best. She is so good at what she does. The vibe at the salon is so relaxed but so fun! I can't wait to go back for my next color!
