The new G2O is a dream... 8/30/2010

The new G2O is a dream! I've been a client there since 2006 and their space is finally worthy of their awesome talent. I am able to get my cut & color done with Alexander, my nails done with Kim, and my waxing done with Sasha all in one trip to their ""urban oasis."" The new salon/spa is totally ""green"" and feels both clean and trendy at the same time. I only wish I worked closer so that I could take my lunch break in the spa's ""nap pod"" or jacuzzi! Get your appointment in while it's still nice out, relax on the roof deck and take in the view. Kudos to the G2O team! more

Fantastic Experience and Full On Customer Service 5/17/2010

A completely fantastic experience!!! I have been to a number of salons on Newbury Street and after five years, have finally found a salon with everything I need. After a full hair makeover with Jessy, I am thrilled with G2O. Had a great cut and color, strong consultation, and felt totally appreciated for the service. Wonderful staff at every level from check in through check out. Pros: Great customer service, great products, beauty experts more

Fabulous experience with Alexander 5/11/2010

I have been having Alexander cut and color my hair for awhile now- he is not only skilled but very friendly. At his suggestion, I decided to try the Ultra Tress extensions to add more length and volume to my hair. I am so happy with the result! Alexander did an amazing job making them look and feel natural without draining my bank account. I can't wait to see the new G2O location when it opens this summer! more

Great Facial! 1/18/2010

I was in Boston for the day and called last minute to see if I could get a facial. The staff was very helpful and was able to schedule one later in the day. My aesthitician, Olive, was very experienced and gave a wonderful facial including a hand massage plus lotion and the warm hand mitts. That was a real gift on a freezing cold day!! Olive effectively tackled my ""T-zone"" area. If you are sensitive, ask for gentle treatment. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will definitely return! Pros: Very relaxing and professional more

Worth Every Penny! 1/15/2009

I am an extremely picky customer. I've gotten my hair cut in salons across the country, and I have to say that the best cut and color I've ever gotten was at G20! The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, and I didn't feel like anyone was trying to rush me anywhere. My stylist made sure I was comfortable with every step before he continued. I wanted something new and fresh, and I got an extremely versatile hairstyle that was phenomenal. The thing about the cut I got was that it grew out very well. The stylist made a lot of bold color and cut decisions, but they were all in great taste, and I was thrilled with the results. It was expensive, but you get what you pay for, and I'm waiting until I can save up enough to go back! more

Better services elsewhere on Newbury 12/21/2008

I went here for a facial and haircolor and was less than impressed by the service and skills of the staff. First of all, the facial I received was the least relaxing facial I have ever received. I have been up and down Newbury Street for facials and, on a whim, decided to try the facial at G20. BIG MISTAKE. Compared to other spas, G20 was by far the worst for the amount of money they charge. The technician was really rough with my skin, left me alone for several minutes during my facial and I ended with several bruises on my face the following day! Other spas are much more relaxing, professional and technically competent! DO NOT GO HERE! more

Best Women's hair cut/style ever 9/2/2008

I can not believe the review by TeenyDancer. She must have a Teeny Brain! Honestly, the only way I could see a bad result from Darren's work, would be if he had little to work with before he started. He is, after all, NOT a magician. After searching for YEARS for a competent stylist, I stumbled upon Darren. His technique and skills landed him on Boston's Best list for 2007. HELLO! I have been driving a 150 mile round trip about 6 times per year for the last 5-6 years just to get a spot in his chair. While he is cutting my hair, I notice other stylists studying his techniques. It's obvious that he is an artist with great talent. Anyone who wants to believe the awful review from TeenyDancer, please go ahead. That means I've got a much better chance of getting in Darren's completely crammed schedule! more

Great haircut! 5/11/2008

My girlfriend has been going to G2O for about a year now(maybe longer) and gets her hair cut and highlighted with Brady and she always looks great. She's been trying to get me to go see him since I usually go to whatever's cheap and I can walk right in and get a cut. Only problem, half the time I come home and my girlfriend freaks out when she sees me.....yeah I've had a few really bad haircuts. My last one was so bad that she insisted on making an appointment with Brady for me. I have to say it's the best $50 I've spent in a long time. Brady gave me by far the best cut I've ever had, easy to keep as well. My girlfriend won't let me go to anyone else now. She's happy, I'm certainly happy and the salon is really nice. Highly recommended! Pros: excellent cut and my GF's color always looks great more

Never Again 4/28/2008

I was referred to Darren at G20 on Newbury by two friends who have great hair, so after commuting to Manhattan every time I wanted a cut, I bit the bullet and tried a new place. While I must say that my highlights are great - really natural and exactly what I wanted - I will NEVER let him come near me with scissors again. My hair looked great in the chair, but as soon as I left and started to play with it, everything changed. I tried to live with it for a week, but ended up going down the street to a much better (and cheaper) salon in Somerville to get it fixed. The new stylist didn't believe me when I told her I had just gotten a cut - my ends were a mess, the shape was all wonky and the layers were all uneven. Speaking of layers, he gave me some thick, choppy super-short layers that give me a judy jetson style bubble head (with some random long pieces underneath) which unfortunately can only be fixed by time. Plus, he had left a hole on one side of my face and a 2-inch wide chunk in the back that was longer than everything else. Not cute. Pros: Ambiance Cons: terrible results more

Impressed in more ways than one! 5/17/2007

I am pretty new to the whole ""spa experience"". A good friend recommended, G2O and I thought ""why not?"". My first time and I went all out with massage, mani/pedi, hair and a facial. They even served me a GREAT lunch! The experience was amazing! I am totally hooked and I will have to do it all again! The staff in general were very caring and thoughful at all turns... but the thing that I have to say impressed me the most was when I was checking out, the woman before me was throwing a fit. The poor man behind the desk stood there, taking a verbal beating from this woman... and I am not too sure exactly what happened but you could just tell she was being unreasonable. He remained polite and was attempting to calm her in every way. I thought he had amazing customer service skills and when she was done blowing up, he checked me out as up beat and cooly as if nothing had happened. This is a great skill and more people like him in general would be a vast improvement in the world. I will with out question be going back! Pros: Great service, and amazing staff Cons: parking more

best massage ever! 4/21/2007

I had one of the best experiences of my life at this place. I have been getting regular massages for the last 8-9 years, and this massage was BY FAR the best ever. The massuse was a very, small and attractive girl (not like that should matter), with surprisingly strong hands for a girl her size. She was very caring and intuitive, also very funny- strange sense of humour, which I enjoyed. I left with no knots or tension, just a great feeling of peace with the world. Very powerful. more

Confused... 4/12/2007

I'm confused as to what other users are saying when reviewing this spa and salon. I have been a regular for years, and have never received less than superb services. Everyone I have encountered, managers, front desk and technicians, have been extremely friendly and helpful. I'm a regular salon client, come in at least 4 times a year, and also treat myself to the Suddenly Slim body treatments every once in a while. Whenever I leave I feel like a princess. I really disagree to what the other users are saying. I have never received anything less than excellent service here. Pros: Exceptional service, friendly staff more

Delays, delays, delays 4/6/2007

Over the course of going there several times a month for a two-year period, I also experienced some of the rudest staff in the world. You'd step in expecting to be pampered and it sometimes took up to 45 minutes to even be acknowledged by the staff. Occasionally, I'd call on the phone and ask for my hairdresser just to assure her I had been sitting there. Of course, the one time I got caught in traffic and arrived 20 minutes late (despite the fact I called in advace to give them a head's up) I was chastised severely. After two bad hair experiences, I have up and never went back. And, no one ever called to see what had become of me. Pros: Great product selection & they offer you cookies and something to drink Cons: Lousy service, no parking nearby more

The worst people ever DO NOT GO HERE! 3/30/2007

These are without a doubt the worse people ive ever had to deal with within any organization ever. The manageress is without a doubt the most ignorant person working today. She should not be holding a position that requires her to deal with the public as she is far too rude. Even when you do go, it's expensive and the service is bad, very below par. Do not under any circumstances give these people your money. If you own this spa and you are reading this, be known ive never had to write a review or to complain about anything in my life before, that is how put out I am about your establishment especially your manageress, who needs some serious help. Pros: Non at all Cons: The rudest people ever more

Best manicure / pedicure I've ever had! 3/19/2007

My wife dediced that the best way for us to bond is to have a pedicure together. I was NOT happy about this but for the sake of my marriage, I agreed. I've got to admit that it was once of the most relaxing experiences I've had in a long while. A friendly man by the name of Van greeted me, assured me that lots of guys do this (LOL! I must have had that look across my face!). I'll do it again just for that amazing foot massage he gave me. I've got to admit, I didn't realize making my wife happy could feel so good! more

Best Haircut Ever!!!! 1/19/2007

I recently went to G2O for a cut and a color. The stylist (Justine) was amazing with the color and, on the first try, gave me the deep cocoa that I have always wanted and somehow never recieved. The haircut was perfect. Originally I had a different idea of what I wanted, but she explained my face shape, etc... and her reccomended cut was PERFECT! This place is amazing! Pros: color ability, great atmosphere, great stylists Cons: parking more
