  Review:

  I found this salon on naturallycurly.com and found the amazing reviews. I started going to Erin back in March. Before my first DevaCut, my curly hair was frizzy and the curls were a mess. Since March 2009, I have gone back 3 times and every time I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my curls. I used to hate my curly hair and wanted to straighten it often but now, my curls actually look amazing. Erin does not pressure me to try a new cut or style. She actually said that my hair looks better longer so she made amazing layers by cutting it dry. My curls love it. The Deva products are excellent and Erin is great to talk to about other products too. She knows curly hair and I keep going back for more.

  Erin is amazing! I took my bi-racial 3 year old daughter for her first hair cut there. She hates me doing her hair, so I was nervous. Erin was great!! She cut her hair, dry, then washed it, conditioned it, combed it, and dried it. Her hair looked beautiful and my daughter loved the experience. Erin was full of useful information about how to care for very curly hair, and made my daughter, and my whole family, completely at ease. I will definitely go back there. My daughter is already asking to go back. Thanks so much, Erin!!!

  Review:

  I have wavy hair and never found a stylist who knew what to do with my hair until I found Cala. Cala turned me on to the Deva hair products and gave me the right cut, and for the first time in my life I like my hair! I also like the natural color line she uses. It doesn't have the harsh chemicals that would dry out my hair. I still get excellent coverage and my hair feels healthier.

  I've been to Erin....gosh, I lost count. But I have to say, she does not dissappoint! EVER! I went for another DevaCut and decided to go for a Deva Deep Treatment too. Oh My Lord! My hair came out soooo shiny and looked amazing! It is now...3 days later and I still have sooo much shine. I totally recommend Erin and the Deva Deep Treatment. I so am doing this treatment every time I go for a cut now.

  Not impressed with this Salon. Maybe they just don't understand wavy hair. I tried them 2X and was dissapointed BOTH times. They only cut the top layer and left the rest of my hair as it was.

  Here I am 38 years old, and didn't realize I had curly hair! I thought my hair texture was 'frizzy.' I happened upon this website, got the book, went to Cala. I LOVE my hair now and have gotten so many compliments. Cala and her staff were so welcoming, professional, and most importantly, they really know what they are doing. I have "2a" type, so I was thinking a curly girl cut wouldn't really make that big of a difference, but Cala did a terrific job of cutting and explaining how to style. I recommend her highly.

  Erin gave me a great cut! She took the time to discuss with me what I wanted and how to achieve that look. She showed me carefully every step I will need to take in order to keep my curls looking great. It was worth traveling the distance to go there. Everyone in the salon is friendly and welcoming. Love my haircut.

  Review:

  I had been bouncing around to different salons in the Boston area, and spent A LOT of money on products and cuts, trying to find someone who could make my hair look good. After a lot of wasted time, I went last weekend for a Deva cut with Erin, and it was the best haircut of my 30 years. This is extra important, because I'm getting married in the spring, and was desperate to find someone who could tame and shape my fine, curly, color-treated hair. Erin was amazing, patient, and explained the whole process, giving me her card and encouraging me to call with any questions. Would highly recommend seeing Erin, even if it is a hike from where you live--it is SO worth it!

  I went to see Cala and I have to say I am very happy with my cut. I traveled over 2 hours each way to see her after reading all of her rave reviews. I am convinced this is the only way to cut curly hair. Cala and her staff explained every step of the process from the cut to the products and my hair has never felt or looked better. Thank you Cala!! Curls on Cape Cod

  Review:

  I have posted once before about how amazing Cala is with curly hair. I had my 3rd appointment with Cala a few weeks ago and I just had to post again. I LOVE my hair! The first two cuts we just trimmed the ends and shaped it up really well. But this time I wanted a change. Cala had recently cut her hair quite a bit shorter and it looked amazing. So when she asked me if we were just trimming I said no, I wanted her to cut my hair shorter. I haven't had a short curly style for over 15 years. It would always turn into a poof-ball. Well not this time. It looks AMAZING! I now have a wonderfully shaped curly bob that's cut to about an inch or so above my shoulder. Not only is it fun and sexy, it's also much more professional than the length I had been wearing it (about 2-3 inches below my shoulders.) It also seems to make my face look thinner and I have been told it makes me look younger. Now I am only 32 so I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing, but everyone just keeps telling me how great it looks. My husband told me daily for at least a week how much he liked it. Me and my curls are very happy and it's all thanks to Cala.

  Review:

  I just had my first DevaCut by Erin today and I have to say I couldn't be happier with it! I must admit, I was a bit skeptical coming into the whole situation. I thought it would be just another regular haircut that I wouldn't be crazy about. She soooo proved me wrong. She gave me fabulous curls and such an awesome shape to my hair and she took the time to explain everything along the way. She converted me into a true believer. How exciting it was to walk out of the salon and not have to rush home to wash and redo it. To all who are Boston area and surrounding. Call now to make your appointments. And don't worry if it's a bit far off and you have no car. It's literally across the street from the commuter rail (Newburyport/Rockport Line, I believe). Erin, thanks for my best haircut ever and for the education of a lifetime. See you in 12 weeks. Giovanna

  Just had my DevaCut today with Erin. She was awesome. I'll definitely be going to her from now on. She took all the time needed to tame my mane and she explained everything as she went along. I was very skeptical of the whole thing. I thought it would just be another haircut, but she proved me wrong. She gave me such beautiful curls and a wonderful shape to my hair, I just love it! I've been to many salons and this by far was the best haircut I've had. It's wonderful to actually walk out of a salon and have fabulous hair. No running home to wash and redo. Erin, I'll see you in 12 weeks! Thanks for a great cut and for a great education in handling curly hair. To anyone in the Boston area and surrounds. This is definitely a salon you must go to. It may be a bit far off from the city but it is just across the street from the commuter rail. I believe it's the Newbury/Rockport line. Call now and make your appointment and finally be happy w/a haircutting experience. Giovanna

  I saw the raves for Cala, the owner of Cala Renee Salon and tried to get a Saturday appointment with her. She was booked more than a month in advance so I made an appointment with Erin, who recently completed the Lorraine Massey "curly girl" training. For the first time in my life, I got a haircut that is actually intended for my kind of hair (somewhere between wavy and curly). Erin was sweet and attentive and took the time to explain each step. Now my hair looks even better the 2nd day (after I've slept on it!).

  Review:

  I was so excited to find the Cala Renee Salon. Back in January I had purchased the book "Curly Girl" and had been following the care instructions for corkscrew curls. While I was looking for salon recommendations I found this website and saw a lot of other recommendations for Cala. She trained in NY under the woman who wrote "Curly Girl". So I made an appointment for this past Saturday. Well all I can say is it was the best hair cut I have ever had. Normally when I leave a salon the first thing I do is fuss with my hair because while the cut may have been ok, there is always something wrong with how it was styled. This was the first time ever that I did not feel the need to fuss with my hair after I left the salon. And because Cala explained every step of what she was doing while she was styling it I was able to duplicate the look the next day. So if you have naturally curly hair of any kind I would definitely call and make an appointment with Cala.

  I lived in NYC for many years and went to both Ouidad & Devachan for my cuts. When I moved to Cambridge, I thought I'd have to pay the airfare back to NYC a few times a year to keep up with my curls. BUT - I found Cala and make the trip from Cambridge to Beverly (about 45-1 hour) to get my haircut 3-4x/year. She's amazing - quick, reasonable, the best! If you're not close to Beverly, it may very well be worth the trip!

  After a lifetime of bad haircuts I was schlepping from Boston to Devachan in NYC twice a year for healing. When grad school began I sniffed around Boston and am thrilled to say Cala Renee is everything her awesome reviews suggest. It's the closest I've had to a Deva cut - she's done their training - but at half the cost and no bus required. The cut grows out really well, too. If you don't have a car, consider joining Zipcar; it's worth it for this appointment two or three times a year. Finally, manageable hair again so close to home! Make sure to ask for the Deva cut as it's her area of super expertise. And she's booking a month ahead now so call early!

  Review:

  I haven't been to a Salon in years, all for the typical curly girl reason, when I went to see Cala for a consultation. OH MY GOD!!!, Cala made me feel so comfortable about her cutting my hair that I set up an appointment for the following week. So, I went to her she did an AWSOME job on my hair. When I got home my family said "only you could get a hair cut and come home with it looking longer that when you left." I thought that was great because with kinky hair like mine having an inch removed looks like I had 6 inches removed. Because of all of the information that Cala gave me during the process my hair is better than ever. I will ALWAYS send my fellow curly girls to Cala.

  Look no further. Book an appointment with Cala. She is not only warm and welcoming (no Newbury Street hoity-toity crap) but she is a master of her craft. From the second I stepped into her salon, I knew I was safe. Not one moment of panic while sitting in her chair. She took her time to really study my hair and then, like a magician, cut pieces of it here and there while dry and brought my curls to life. Next, she washed it, put in just the right amount of product (no helmet head, thank you) and sat me under a dryer to wait for the results. When it was dry, she examined it like an artist, made a few additional snips here and there and wa-lah - I had a beautiful, new head of hair. I am 35 years old and have never felt more peaceful during a haircut. I left feeling totally satisifed and like a woman with a new lease on life! She is WELL worth the journey. On a side note, her right hand woman, Erin, is a doll and the two of them make a wonderful team.

  I finally have a curly cut. Cala was wonderful.I was asked to wash and let my hair dry naturally with no product before I came in for my cut. My normally wavy hair almost looked straight and I was beginning to think I was wasting both Cala's and my time. Cala examined my hair and cut it dry. Wow - all my curls bounced back so much that I'm even thinking I am a 3 rather than a 2. It was a drive for me, but well worth it. Thanks Cala!

  Sorry I'll be brief because this is now the second time that I have typed a message and it keeps getting erased. I have been to Cala now twice for a cut and highlights and I highly recommend her services. She recently completed her training in NYC on the Deva concept and she really understands curly hair. I am so happy to finally have found a stylist that not only will not butcher my hair but that is also 5 minutes from my house.

  I'm not one for contributing to a comments section of a web site, but I have to tell you that there is no way I can keep Cala's outstanding service and expertise a secret! Cala shared just three new tips with me about how to handle my curly hair and I will never subject my hair to blow-dry "torching" again! Cala listened to my "whine" about my dry, brittle, unmanageable mane and the result was a shaping and product application that made all the difference in the world! I highly recommend Cala and will definitely be going back on a regular basis :) El
