Elegance Hair Design

Tao was FABULOUS! She knows what she is doing and does it so well!

Tao is amazing. She has been my only hair stylist for last 8 years.

Forget the "barbershops" T gives the best men's cut in the area. For over a decade I have been consistently happy with every cut and conversation. I would trust her with my life! Look no further.

We found TN Beauty by chance. She is great to work with and runs a tight ship!

Very friendly atmosphere, and great salon for nail. Sometimes get a hair cut too short but it grows in.

Thao is wonderful and very talented! Our entire family has been coming here for years. Wonderful business.

Wouldn't go here for eyebrows. She made my left eyebrow about 3 centimetres shorter than my right.

Thao is awesome and she is the only one my wife allows to touch her hair even though its an hour to drive there from where we live. Wife has long gorgeous Asian hair and Thao knows how to work with it and keep it looking gorgeous.

I have been going to TN for haircuts since 2009 after reading the reviews. I have gotten highlights and lots of different haircuts from Thao. She does an excellent job with my curly hair and keeps her salon neat, clean, and friendly.

When I wrote my previous review I didn't notice that there were stars to check off. I meant to check 5 stars.

Wonderful service - thao is great. my babyfine hair needs a little extra help to look like anything at all, and i get a great razor cut from thao that looks great when i walk out, still looks great the next day when i style it (not the case with other places i've gone), and that grows out well.

Really wonderful small salon. TN salon is the kind of small business you should root for. Thao is great, personable, and does very well with my hair. That alone is enough to warrant a 5 star review. But the thing that set the salon over the top is that she successfully cut my 10-month old baby girl's hair for the first time. This is not one of those gimmicky kid salons with bubbles and entertainment. But Thao is a mom with mother's intuition and my baby was happy for the entire cut and when she left the salon, she could see again! Hallelujah!

This is the second time I've been and I have to say Thao is great. She's easy to talk to, funny, and most importantly a very good hairstylist. I've moved from Japan 3 years ago and have had tried many hair stylist around the greater Boston area and she does my hair correctly. Correctly meaning I don't have to go home and immediately wash my hair and restyle my hair or hope my hair grows faster.

The overall experience is very good. update: I have to say she's my favorite hair stylist now. Every time my hair was done right and she has a very happy and upbeat personality.

I made the HUGE mistake of trying to find another stylist when I moved away from Belmont, even though I loved Thao. I went to a chic salon in Woburn, where I now live (Paul Kenneth Salon, check on my review), and have never regretted anything as much. They butchered my hair. Not only was Thao really nice about everything, she managed to transform the disaster into a cute cut. She really is amazing, and I will never make the mistake of trying to find someone else again!

I had major hair anxiety after getting multiple bad haircuts in Chinatown (I don't want to look like a Taiwanese pop star, thanks), so after reading yelp reviews I decided to check out TN Beauty Salon. I was very vocal about my anxiety, and thankfully Thao was patient with me and talked me through my haircut. I realize I sound like a head case, but it really helped!

She tediously worked through my thick hair to give me a very cute, stylish cut. She had my trust from then on. Since then I've recommended her to many friends, and my husband goes there, too. We're moving to CT soon, but I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna come back to Belmont every few months for my haircut.

I came here because of the positive reviews on yelp and I was very satisfied with my experience. I went in on Tuesday after work to get the walk-in discount. I got there at about 5:30 and there was an appointment before me. I decided to wait since I really needed a hair cut. I'm not the type of person to know exactly what I want when I go in for a haircut, I usually go for something easy to maintain.

I gave T, hair dresser, vague descriptions on what I wanted like layers and lighter volume for the summer, and I just told her I trusted her judgment and to make it look good. I was very satisfied with the cut and style. I really appreciated her staying much later than her operating hours and being meticulous with my haircut. She spent over an hour including the wash, cut and simple style. BTW, I have Asian hair and she def knows her stuff. I cut about 8+ inches, it felt like I lost 2 lbs. A lot better for the hot summer weather!

I read the 12 existing yelp reviews I am so pleased with my haircut, and I've never quite known what to do with my hair, so I gave her a lot more freedom than I'm ussually comfortable with. somehow, she read my mind. And I have since gone back for another haircut of the same perfect styling!

I love my haircut that I got today. I had super heavy, really long, thick hair. Thao thinned my voluminous hair to something much more manageable, and did lovely layers. I must have lost a good pound or so of hair. and gotten the haircut that I absolutely love. She also spent time after the usual working hours on a Saturday! And I brought a friend to get his hair cut afterwards too. T has been nothing short of amazing. She chatted as much as I wanted to, and made sure that I got the haircut I wanted.

I went back in today for another haircut. I have been so busy that it's been months since my last cut (incidentally at this salon). T is so sweet and just makes the experience so pleasant. She remembered me by face and listened to what I wanted to do with my hair. She even suggested some great tips for my fine (as in thin not hot) Asian hair.

My haircut was less than $40 and I didn't have to deal with the pretentiousness of Newbury Street. She even took the time to curl my hair after my cut! I told T to check out Yelp since she has some very positive reviews on here. I hope she reads this and knows that she has earned yet another loyal and appreciative customer!

Most successful haircut I've had in ages. Everyone has noticed it, though I didn't take off tons of hair. and no one ever notices. Thao was really nice and asked lots of questions. and didn't get too annoyed when I explained that I really didn't care, as long as it looked good. She made it look great! I walked in on a Wednesday and got a discount. A random little place with a great hairdresser. It has grown out a bit now and still looks great.

I went for a cut on the weekend after reading all the good reviews. She seemed a little nervous as we were cutting quite a bit off, but she was very careful and meticulous. I am at work today and have had many many compliments. I think she did a nice job giving me a feminine short cut, and that isn't easy with my very fine straight hair.

Great clean place but a little hard to find. It's close to the Dunkin Donuts. I came to the salon in desperate need of a haircut. I'm extremely picky with my hair but the new owner Thao blew me away. Her name is actually Thao but since most people can't pronounce her name she also goes by "T". I left with light flowing layers, and I'm happy that she took the time in carefully cutting my hair.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays she has a special running for walk-ins: wash and cut for only $15! I think that even on the weekends she's running that special too but it would probably be best to call and ask. I have found my new hairdresser and will surely be returning.

I'll admit that I went because Kate raved about it, but when I first arrived, I thought, "That's kinda an ugly sign"--superficial, yes--anyhow. moving on. I was gonna go with Janna but ended up with the NEW owner, Tea. At first, I was thinking, "Gosh, I hope I'm not making a huge mistake here" but then learned that Tea worked for a year at an Asian Salon in Quincy so had plenty of experience with Asian hair.

Since I've already broken my "one sentence" rule, I'll hurry up and get to the conclusion. Cuts are $32 or a lot cheaper if you walk-in on a Tue, Wed, or Thu. I walked out with an amazing hair cut with layers, style, and sway. Ooh, doesn't it feel glamorous to be swinging your lovely new do around? I felt like I had flashing lights pointing out my wonderful hair as I walked down the street.

But then again, I have illusions of grandeur. Point is, I'm goin' back man. And if you need a good hair dresser in a no-frills salon, take my advice and bring those split ends in for a choppin'. ***Update*** The salon is now called "TN Beauty Salon" - and, after round two, I'm still happy with it.

Janna is the head stylist at Elegance Hair Design. I met her for the first time when she was working at another salon, and then followed her when she opened her own in Belmont. Her salon is tucked away and small inside, but what really matters is the way she does hair. She's amazing with color and her prices are great. She's also really nice. I've referred like 10 people to her and everyone keeps going back.

Everyone thinks my hair looks amazing after I see her. She's basically Newbury St. quality for Belmont pricing. You should check her out DEFINITELY. And tell her that I sent you :
