Andrew Williams Salon & Spa

I recently found this salon after moving to Tyngsborough and I’m so glad I did. I got a bit lost trying to find it at first but once I got in my appointment with Marianne was off to a great start. She was welcoming and really listened to what I wanted to do with my hair. We talked for probably about 15 minutes before doing anything so she could understand my style and what I was going for. I needed to get rid of some dead ends and length that was driving me crazy but I have really fine hair so most shorter cuts leave me with a really triangular fizzy shape. She took the time to explain the layers she was going to do and how it would prevent that while giving me a thicker overall look. After sounding too good to be true she didn’t disappoint! She took off over 5″ and my hair looks and feels great. We even discussed what type of highlights would be best for my hair and I wanted to book another appointment right away. She was busy well into February but worked with my schedule and rearranged hers to accommodate me after work not even a week later! I can’t wait to see how the highlights come out and I have a feeling I will be a long term customer here!

I’m super late on this pre-​Christmas review but Marianne has done it again! Always love what she and Anne Marie do with my hair.

I came here a 3^rd time as a customer asking for dark blue hair. This time though it did not come out as great as I liked it because she painted the roots black and although she soaked it in the perfect blue I wanted, the whole head was not dark blue as I liked… I would go to Marianne for regular ombres and natural colors but I wouldn’t recommend going to her for unnatural colors. Way too much money, and the pictures i showed her looked nothing like what I had… it looked more like black hair with blue tips. I asked if I could go back in to get it fixed because it came out much darker than what I wanted but she wanted to charge me again, but considering that I spent nearly $ 230 already (including the tip) I’m not going to bother.

I absolutely recommend coming here for any of your beauty needs. Andrew Williams Salon is full of professional women who really know what they’re doing. The atmosphere is amazingly maintained with a sophisticated industrial look. As you’ll see below, I consider Andrew Williams Salon my one stop beauty shop for everything I’m looking to do.
Lori Anne Deeley: Lori is not only an amazing woman, but she’s an absolute artist with everything she does, and truly knowledgable at it all too. I’ve personally delved in many of the services she offers, spray tanning, facials, waxing and makeup applications to name a few.
Spray tanning — Lori is quick, extremely accurate and even shows her artistic nature when applying a spray tan, something I’ve never thought too much about. A completely even application, and amazing color every time.
Facials — I have extremely troubled skin — sometimes so bad I would be woken up at night from the pain of my breakouts and needing some sort of control over it all. I started going to Lori in hope that something would bring me relief — and honestly, she really did the trick. I usually go for getting her acne treatment, she works on me being gentle and working along with my skin and it’s composition instead of a standard routine she could use on anyone. The room she has is relaxing, a heated bed under the sheets, calming music playing while she works, it’s really hard to not fall asleep through each session. I really trust every opinion she has on the follow up routines — every recommendation she has made for me has always helped me maintain the good outcomes of the treatment and they’ve become a part of my daily routine. Again, she really knows what she’s talking about!
Makeup — I will never go to anyone else for a makeup application. I’ve seen Lori work her talent many times and on all different types of women (she was the beautician for my wedding). She is able to look at an individual, work with their facial structure and perfectly apply the makeup so it not only looks perfect, but it’s natural looking too. As explained above, I have tough skin, I’m sensitive to certain makeups (something she checks on with her clients before starting), and I usually have a blemish or two that she perfectly masks making my skin look evenly toned and normal. I’m going to have to post some pictures of her work to let them speak for themselves, but I really cannot say enough good things about Lori and her ability to transform someone so effortlessly (and again, in a way that works for them).
Thank you, Lori for all you’ve done for me, I truly look forward to working with you again!
Kristen Ormonde: I absolutely love Kristen. She is an incredibly talented woman with the ability to see a person and create the perfect cut and color for your hair so it looks perfectly natural. She works so effortlessly, it’s always fun getting your hair done, getting lost in it and just letting Kristen do her thing, then suddenly — you’re done and it looks just like you imagined. I’ve also gotten the keratin treatment by her, this is something that can take a long time generally to do (no matter where you go), but it goes by quickly with someone so easy to talk to. Her treatment she offers is also my favorite of the ones I’ve gotten. Thank you to you as well, Kristen! I always look forward to being able to come back to you and see what magic you can work on my hair every time I come in.

Looking for a stylist you can trust to do an amazing job? I was lucky enough to find Kristen! Each time i get a cut I have people for days asking who my stylist is. As If that wasn’t enough to keep me coming back, her color skills are on point. Perfect ombré every time! You won’t be disappointed trust me!

I am SO HAPPY that I found the Andrew Williams salon and spa! I recently moved to this area from California and had to find a new stylist/​colorist from scratch so of course I hopped onto Unilocal and began my search… I am so happy that I did because I found and chose this salon based on their great reviews.
I hadn’t gotten my hair cut or colored in 7 months because I was so apprehensive about going somewhere new with no actual referral from someone I knew, thank god for Unilocal!I booked an appointment with Marianne based upon how many positive reviews there were about her work specifically. Let me start off by saying it is in a really cool mill building and had a really nice open vibe to it with tall, open ceilings and beautiful/​peaceful décor, I booked a full foil with a cut and blow dry.
From the moment I walked into the salon I was well taken care of. I didn’t wait at all, went straight to the chair and explained to Marianne what I wanted, which was caramel highlights– and to cover my gray hairs that are just in the front… side note– i can’t tell you how many times I have asked for «caramel» highlights on my dark brown hair and they end up coming out too blonde or really «ashy,» so I was nervous but Marianne totally understood what I meant and even went above and beyond in coloring my grays brown then doing highlights over them so there was no trace whatsoever of the gray! She was a total sweetheart and within 20 minutes we knew each other’s life stories, which is also a sign of a great stylist, lol… she was really fast with the highlights which was nice because I can’t stand when I’m at a salon for 4 + hours… after the color was done she did a great deep conditioning treatment to help my damaged hair and terrible flyaways on my head due to having too many tight pony tails, and then she did the cut… she did a great job on my layers and made sure there was no definitive line that looks so bad when people get layers and it doesn’t blend… I can’t say enough about how happy and satisfied I am with my cut and color, seriously… I guess that’s about it for my marathon review, thank you so much Marianne!!! I will DEFINITELY be back!!! –Maura

I had to wait two weeks for an appointment and selectrd this place based on reviews here. When I walked in, for a Saturday appointment, I was the only client in the building! On a saturday! That should have been my red flag. I had a cut and color. Color was ok, cut did not come out even close to the picture I showed the stylist. Also, when I got home I noticed the right side was way shorter than the left. In over an hour that I was there only 1 other client came in. I won’t be going back and I don’t think this place will be around very long.

After moving to the area I was in need of a new salon. I had been living closer to the city and had been seeing the same stylist for years. After reading all the positive reviews about Andrew Williams, I figured I would give them a try.
I scheduled an appointment with a stylist who has MANY years of experience in hopes of them being able to meet my hair needs. When I arrived to the parking lot, there were no signs directing me to where to go. The building was an unmarked maze of empty store fronts and I had to call the salon, after 10 minutes of navigating the building, to get directions. Their website had no mention of how to find them within the building.
When I walked in, the salon was nice and inviting. There was a woman at the nail station and one woman behind the receptionist desk. The woman behind the desk was my stylist. I was the only customer in the salon which I thought was odd. I sat down with the stylist and told her my story.
I had been living closer to the city and had been seeing the same stylist for many years. Since I had moved away from the city, and did not want to drive the hour+ to Dorchester for a haircut, I was in need of a new stylist. I showed her pictures of my last hair cut and told her I was hoping to replicate it. It was pretty clear that I was nervous about having someone else cut my hair.
We began.
When she washed my hair, she was a bit rough. She walked me over to the chair and started to cut. Rather than cutting my hair, she started to slice it. I had never had anyone use this technique before and the sound was horrible. It was like she was taking a medieval tool to my hair. I had been used to a stylist meticulously sectioning my hair and cutting the ends ensuring everything was even. This technique seemed very haphazard and I could tell that pieces of the «layers» from section to section were not the same length. The photo I showed had the length in the front pieces as long, before I could say anything she angled the pieces in the front at such an extreme angle there was nothing I could to but let her cut the other side, I could tell they were not even. She keep trying to make small talk with me even though it was quite clear I wasn’t in the mood to talk.
After she was done cutting, she did not apply any product to my hair and her blowout was less than par. She dried the front pieces of my hair in a similar style to Farrah Fawcett which was not even close to what I had asked for. When she was done she seemed very proud with the cut. She could tell that I was not overly impressed and I told her I had expected the cut to be shorter. She then told me that since she had already done the blow out she would not be able to do much to cut more. The BS meter in my head instantly went off because the majority of my styles were done when my hair was dry. She quickly went at the bottom my my hair to bring up the length to where I had originally asked it to be. It was clear she was rushing because her next appointment had come in.
I graciously tipped her well, took her card and left.
I got home and I knew I hated it. I hoped that with my own product and styling the next morning everything would be ok. After I blow dried my hair it looked horrible! It looked like I was wearing a wig, my hair felt heavy and there was no movement to my hair. I felt ugly. I went to work and my co-​workers said «Oh, you got your hair cut… it looks… good…» I felt horrible. I went home that night and cried. After my husband consoled me, he told me I could call my old stylist and have him fix my hair.
Sadly he did not have any availability to help me, but highly suggested a stylist at a salon in Medford. I drove the hour to get there the next day and was seen by a Senior Stylist. The Stylist was less than impressed by the cut I had received two days previous and informed me that the style I had asked for would never be able to be achieved by the slicing technique. After combing out my hair, she put her hand over her mouth and said «I don’t want to show you this, but you have to see this… do you mind if I show my student the back of your hair?» She spun me around and combed out the ends. The bottom of my hair was completely jagged. When the Andrew Williams Stylist cut my hair she did not cut the bottom straight. After an hour and a half in the chair I walked out with a haircut that was significantly shorter than I had originally wanted because she had to keep cutting to get rid of what had been done to my hair. I was told, «I can’t undo everything, you’re going to let it grow for a few months before you come back»
Needless to say I am less than impressed by the skills of this particular stylist at Andrew Williams. Maybe it was an off day for her, but I by no means will be returning, ever. I will keep spending the big bucks to see a highly trained stylist closer to Boston.

Lori was great. She gave me an experience that I have never had at other spas. I came in after receiving a coupon in a Valupak. It was half off a signature facial. Definitely a steal. She treated me with a little ultrasonic even though it is not provided in the package. I told her that I try facials with my BFF all the time so she gave me back the coupon for me to give to her.
Will come back. Great time.

I went to Andrew Williams for the first time yesterday; as a natural, curly redhead, I’m a difficult client – Anne-​marie NAILED my color. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, and really worked with me to find the perfect combination. I’m so happy! She’s amazing!

Must see Kristen Ormonde for your hair care needs! She is so in tune with what you’re looking for, and checking in every step of the way to make sure you’ll love the outcome. Not only did she turn me onto the «bayalage» look, but also cut into my hair that made the color flattering and to fit my face. Again, she is a must for a happy outcome!

I went searching for the hours they’re open and finally found them.

Outstanding!
I have recently moved to the area and was looking for a good hairdresser. I actually made my appointment at the Andrew Williams Salon based on reviews here at Unilocal and am living prove that these reviews work!
My whole experience at the salon was fantastic from the minute I walked in the door and was greeted by the lovely Marianne. She made me feel confident in her ability to transform my lacklustre locks into something amazing for my up coming wedding and boy did she deliver. She talked me through each step of the whole process from color to cut and even gave me a mini master class in blow drying and styling my hair. The end result was just transforming. I have had lots of positive comments on my new hair style (the best one being that I looked younger lol)
Marianne knows her stuff and is a super nice person, thank you Marianne. I am thrilled I have found such an amazing hairdresser in my new home town and am looking forward to my next appointment.

PERFECT OMBRÉ
If you want a professional/​gorgeous/​starlet hair you NEED to go to Kristen Ormonde! this is the best my hair has ever looked, and Kristen listened to what I wanted and then instead of «trying» to make it look like the pic of Kate Beckinsale, she DID it. I have the perfect ombré — she used a new technique (because she stays on top of trends) called bayalage (sp?) and my hair looks seamless. No cheesy lines of dark to light, no orange-​y tones. Perfect rich tone into lighter. Better than any kardashian! Kristen is legit, she is also very sweet and personable and really cares about the outcome because she loves what she does!!! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a natural spray tan you found the right place, LORI does an amazing job! She makes you feel comfortable standing their in your underwear! She is super sweet and great at what she does. My sister and I think she gives the best facial, you really will fall in love with her,

This salon is a very peaceful environment, which is a big deal. It’s calming and beautiful. Ever been to a salon where you’re kind of crammed in there? Well, come here. It’s great.
But on to the best part.
Dawn Stickney gave me a haircut that I absolutely love. Okay, I’ll be honest. She’s given me a lot of haircuts that I absolutely love. I don’t even know how I want my hair done half the time but she always understands my confusing ways of putting things and turns it into exactly what I want.
Dawn is so intuitive. In addition to her magical hands that perform miracles on just about any head of hair, she’s a great person to talk to. She could double as a psychologist! Personality AND creativity go hand in hand with this woman! Don’t forget to ask her for her pumpkin bread recipe either!
Don’t worry about missing out on new products with her either. She’s right on top of the game with products that she feels would benefit your hair. And boy is she NEVER wrong. She knows my hair better than anyone.
Of course anyone this great will already have many people who love her so call and schedule an appointment as soon as possible! If you can’t though, it’s probably ok. Dawn is the most flexible stylist out there. She works hard to get all of her clients in her book according to their schedule, which is not easy. But she does it!
If you’re looking for a new stylist, go see Dawn Stickney. You won’t be disappointed.

I went to Andrew Williams salon last night for the first time to get my hair cut and ombréd. I was nervous about this since I have been going to the same stylist at another salon for over 20 years, but I knew I needed a change. They set up my appointment with Kristen, a lovely lady who immediately put me at ease. She worked her hair skills, and two hours later my hair was beautiful and just what I wanted!!!
This is the salon for me!!!

Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere! I have been seeing Marianne for over 10 years, but recently I moved to Boston and had a baby so getting to chelmsford was an ordeal! I decided to go to a popular aveda salon in Boston and paid WAY too much for something I did not want. I asked for an ombré and they basically gave my strawberry blond hair with 3 inches of dark roots! Luckily Marianne was there to save my hair and give me a beautiful natural looking ombré. I couldn’t be happier!

I have been going to Kristen at Andrew Williams Salon since 2005; you will not find a better stylist, colorist, or person! Since she recently moved to Andrew Williams, I’ve witnessed what a wonderful business this is; Kristen fits in perfectly with the awesome members of the staff, and the space itself is calming and beautiful.
I started seeing Kristen all those years back when I commented to a co-​worker that she had some of the best color work I had ever seen… She sent me straight to Kristen, and let me tell you… I’ve never been anything less than thrilled. I’ve gone from blonde to red to dark brown to light brown and have ALWAYS gotten comments on how great my hair looks afterwards (and it lasts, too!). Also, this salon is chock full of awesome people; this is not the gossip fest that you might have experienced at other salons. I am a guidance counselor at a high school, and my students always comment on my hair (which is such a compliment to Kristen, especially coming from teenagers!).
If you’re in this area, this is the place to go!

Called the morning of for a last minute decision to get my hair done for a night out, wait a few minutes to be seen for my appointment so don’t stress of your running a few minutes late! My hair stylist was awesome, Vanessa, and my hair out good!
Only cons was if set me back $ 40 for loose curls!
