hair straightening
Angie C from Insider Pages11/22/2011 8:33 pm
Ok, so my review isn't about this salon, it's about hair straightening in general. Does this YUKO Japanese hair straighening really cost 800 bucks? How is it different than other Japanese straightening? I remember a little over 10 years…

Slatch1 from Citysearch05/06/2010 8:36 am
I have been going to Deneen for 13 years. I moved to Boston and by luck found her at another salon when I was looking for highlights. She does the best highlights bar none. She also styled my hair for my wedding a few years ago. It…

FreeFoodBoston from Citysearch02/19/2010 2:36 pm
I got my hair cut here to donate to Locks of Love. I don't know why more people don't do it. The people are really nice, the service is fabulous, and it's free! Cherylann was a sweetheart. I was nervous because I hadn't gotten so much cut…

Want a hair cut that means everyday is a good day?
debra stark from Citysearch11/26/2009 9:38 am
When you have a great haircut, you can wear rags or riches and always look terrific. When you have someone who knows hair, who can look at your face and complement it with a cut that looks as good on day 45 as it does on day 1, you're in…

jbrady177 from Citysearch11/13/2009 12:36 pm
I am very particular about my personal appearance and have been to many salons in and out of Boston. Since I found Betty, my hair has been fabulous. Ever since I started going to Betty, even strangers compliment the color and cut. Betty's…
Brazilian Keratin Treatment
Sonyas from Citysearch10/31/2009 6:41 pm
I just got the Brazilian Keratin treatment done for the second time at DeKwa. It was great, my hair came out so nice. And the great thing is that it didnt even damage my hair because it was a subsitute for flomohydrat. Which means the…
Fabulous cut and color
Julie K from Citysearch09/28/2009 10:53 am
I recently had the pleasure of having my hair cut and highlighted by Deneen at Dekwa Elements of Hair. In the past at other salons I've had to give more description of the color I wanted, yet, never really quite got the color I was…

f you are thinking about going to see KYLE, RUN DON'T WALK! I got a Locks of Love hair cut and I was very nervous as I have always had long hair. Kyle made it simple and easy, and made me laugh the whole time. Cut four pony tails...wash…
Yuko and Keratin Straightning saved my hair!!!
Momi from Citysearch07/27/2009 5:08 am
I was ready to cut off the long hair I have had all of my life. It is EXTREMELY nappy, frizzy and completely unruly. When I was younger, my hair was naturally curly but as I got older the curls turned to ugly frizz. I called Betty…
Bad experience with Japanese straightening & Betty
horriblehair from Citysearch07/11/2009 2:21 pm
Back in October (9 months ago) I did the Japanese hair strightening with Betty. I did my research and thought about this for years.....and was extremely disappointed with the outcome. I hesitated to write anything before now because I…
Yuko with Betty a NIGHTMARE
bostongal3 from Citysearch06/23/2009 5:15 am
My experience with Betty was horrible. First of all, the girl at the front desk quoted me one price but once I got in the salon on the day of the appointment Betty quote a much higher price. She promised me I would just have to use my…

Kwan is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!
fuzzyLogic from Citysearch05/03/2009 5:41 am
Kwan has been my stylist for quite a while now, probably about 5+ years. She is truly a great stylist and obviously very skilled and knowledgeable in her chosen profession. What makes me keep going back to Kwan is her opinion and sense of…
My best haircuts ever
hkboston from Citysearch04/26/2009 2:45 pm
My hair has always been just ok. But since I have started coming to Deneen people are constantly complimenting me on my hair style -- even this past week 2 days before I was getting my haircut again after 3 months. That never happens.…

davewohlgemuth from Citysearch04/26/2009 1:28 pm
I have been a client of Deneen's for close to 10 years and have never had a bad experience while at the salon. She always gives me a great haircut and engages me in fine conversation. I am always greeted with smiles from the time I enter…
Disappointing experience all around
purpleorchid89 from Citysearch03/13/2009 10:29 am
I was so excited to go to DeKwa after all the reviews I has read, but it was so disappointing for me. I wanted a big change, nice and stylish, and all I got was shorter hair. Seriously. It just looked like my old hair but much shorter. In…
Bad cut from Kwan.
rezel from Citysearch01/10/2009 2:07 pm
I got a terrible cut from Kwan... very disappointing. She did the opposite of what I asked for and it is just the worst cut I have ever had. I'd have someone fix it but it needs to grow before I can do that... fortunately my hair grows…
Kyle serves Locks of Love with all the care it deserves!
phdbride from Citysearch12/16/2008 10:56 am
I am so late in posting this that I am embarassed. Anyway, Kyle gave me a great cut back in September after I gave up 10 inches of my hair. What did I end up with? Something I can style into business chic or Gwen Stefani Rave night cool.…
