Bethany and Holly have been wonderful. The salon is a really nice environment. Very comfortable. I've never been disappointed and this is my go-to place and people!

I had just bad, painful and most expensive hair cut. It was nothing fancy just regular haircut costing me $120 with tips. While blow drying, my scalp was totally burning, I felt like the heat was too too much for me. But, I felt like not being rude and kept on getting tortured with the heat and pain. Now, I have rashes on my scalp which I never ever had in my entire life. I regret of giving the tips now. I had worked in service industry in the past and did it, but I did not like the service here at all.

I am so glad to have found this gem of a salon. Super welcoming, friendly and caring vibes from the whole staff. I always leave feeling great and excited to come back the next time. Amy is awesome and we always have such fun, easy conversations while they color and style my hair.

Mackenzie did my hair for my wedding day and I absolutely LOVED it!! I was very nervous about getting my hair professionally done on my wedding given past poor experiences I've had as a bridesmaid. Mackenzie was a breathe of fresh air - she truly listened to me and brought my vision to life. She was so kind and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Mackenzie for your wedding day hair!

We just got married May 20! It was an amazing day, in large part due to my fantastic hair and makeup artists, McKenzie Enright and Amanda Melo (done at Salon Bianco). We currently only have family-taken photos, but I will update the post when our professional photos come back. I live in Federal Hill so discovered McKenzie at Salon Bianco, and she put me at ease immediately, which I knew would help on my wedding day. She recommended Amanda Melo for makeup, as McKenzie is in the wedding industry and used Amanda for her own recent wedding, and said she was the best in the business. I could not agree more! Both McKenzie and Amanda were kind and calming be with, and more importantly, they were meticulous and made sure my hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted and looked perfect. I felt beautiful. The best thing was that everything held up all 12 hours despite running around in the rain for photos for two hours in the afternoon. I honestly don’t know how they did it, but my photos at the end of the night were just as good as my photos at the beginning of the day.

I needed a new hair spot and I don’t know why it took me so long to decide to come here, cause it’s incredible. I think I assumed anywhere on Atwells would be over priced and mediocre and this is not that at all. Izzy at the front desk is so sweet, patient and helpful (& you can text when you’re busy at work and don’t have a few minutes for a call!), and Amy who is my go to hair babe is ????. Knocks it out of the park every time for my cut and now new color, has a great personality, is super talented, really listens well, and even offered to break down how much it would cost before we did a big color change. There’s also a small dog and a cat and the owner has done my hair for a style before and it was also fab. Decor is cute and they’re super inclusive, I even remember reading about how they have a back private room able to accommodate folks who due to religious practices so they don’t have to be exposed in public. Like how seriously thoughtful. Covid practices are also great and they still require masks which is nice to see. Availability is flexible and it hasn’t been super hard to find an apt that works with my schedule and basically everything is 10/10.

LOVED Mackenzie - she did my & my full bridal party's hair for my wedding. She is extremely professional (and nice), and was able to take my bridesmaids' vague ideas for hair and make them a reality! Everyone looked great :)

Everyone is so nice and if I could I would give it 10000000 stars and they also have gender neutral bathroom ??

Amy is absolutely phenomenal. They took the time to explore potential options for me and gave me some wonderful options that turned out amazing. Once settled on a cut and color, Amy reviewed pricing with me and the prices are the fairest I’ve ever seen for a quality salon! Amy is so sweet and I loved our conversation during the session. The house cat and dog are a nice little perk too! Will be returning and recommending!

I will absolutely never go to any other salon. Everyone at Salon Bianco, particularly Amy and Bethany, are beyond caring, friendly, and most importantly professional! I always leave the salon feeling my absolute best, and have one hundred percent trust in the both of them. Always impressed and never disappointed, I’m convinced there is nothing they can’t do!

This place is beyond words with its amazingness . It's super clean, beautiful an inviting inside . the staff is very kind and LGBT friendly/understanding and respectful. My stylist was very knowledgeable , extremely friendly and relatable. It felt more like I was visiting a old friend rather than a hair salon. My hair looks so gorgeous now. Though it was relaxing it took the stylist no time at all to take my frizzy split end hair and to give it life . They styled my hair beautifully getting rid of all the dead ends without getting rid of the length by any truly measurable amount. Even though I walked in with confidence I walked out with even more. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone . They went above and beyond. Simple words can't describe how wonderful everything was i just can't say enough good things about them. Thank you Salon Bianco !

Absolutely love this spot. Everyone there is kind, colorful, and queer friendly. I have to particularly recommend Amy, they are so talented and have incredible attention to detail. Super sweet to work with and always makes me look and feel my best!

I love salon Bianco. It’s truly a federal hill staple/atwells landmark. I’ve gotten my hair cut by Amy numerous times, wonderful cut and conversation every time. I also recently went in to see Bethany, the owner of the shop, for a perm and she was an absolute gem. If you’re looking for a solid, kind place for a reliable cut or other hair service, look no further. Bethany works damn hard to create the best space for her fellow stylists and clients and it shows. I will always give my business so salon bianco!

Betha gave me the hair I've always wanted! We talked about my hair type and stylistic choices, and I'm so happy with the service and the outcome. Great experience!

That was the single most expensive bad haircut I have ever received. I have never written a review online before and probably never will again. I only hope these words help me accept and move on lol. Probably the right place for getting some fancy doo if you're looking for that but I look like an absolute knob. Goodnight
Sari G.
I've been going to Amy for a year now and have never felt so seen when it comes to my hair goals. They really get what I'm going for and like to pause to check in with the haircut and if it matches my vision. I highly recommend going here if you want a truly validating haircut.

Best Place to go and get some hair love! The whole team is amazing and they treat you like family! My hair looks amazing everytime I leave!

I was so excited to get in the very same day when contacting Salon Bianco. It has been over 20 years since I've had hair on my head as I shave it daily. But recently decided to try and grow my thick, dense beard out for the very first time ever. Of course when growing it, you go through the 'awkard stage" and pretty much look like a caveman. I needed serious help! Beth rescued me with some beard tapering and shaping that I surely would not have been able to properly do myself at home. I am more than thrilled at the way my beard looks now..ecstatic! Huge thank you to Beth for being able to accommodate me on such short notice (with no wait time!) Even bigger thanks for the rock star job you did!! As my new beard growth progresses, I will definitely be going back ????????

Amy is great:)
Norah P.
Fabulous and friendly service. The owner, Betha, cut my hair and gave me a cute look! This was an expensive cut, but well worth it as these are some of the most professionally trained stylists in Providence.

Amy listens to what I’d like and makes it happen.

I have gone to Salon Bianco for at least 15 years. I see Bethany the owner and she treats my hair like gold. I am there every 4 weeks for pampering and outstanding service. Everyone there is meticulous with their clients. My hair is gorgeous and I receive so many complements. I wouldn’t dream of leaving. Highly recommend!!!
Anna G.
I am complimented on my hair at least once a month and the credit is entirely due to the amazing team at Salon Bianco! I recommend them to everyone. The experience is great, everyone is super nice, and your hair will never look better.
Jade D.
I go to Amy for my cut and color and I have never been more in love with my hair! It always looks and feels amazing, I appreciate how much care Amy puts into making my hair dreams come to life.
Luna N.
Amy is the absolute sweetest! I request a lot of mixed fantasy colors and my hair always comes out stunning.
Hollis H.
I see Amy at Salon Bianco for all my hair color and cut needs! They are so warm and inviting as well as talented with fantasy colors! Amy will really listen to what I'm looking for and give me options every step of the way! I've never had a bad time in their chair and recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a change big or small!

Seriously a gorgeous and honestly pretty sexy place to get your sexy on.

Worst haircut ever !!!!!!????????????

I'm going to assume the negative reviews I've read are fake haha because I've been coming here for years for my hair and microblading and have had nothing but positive experiences.

I did like this salon but had to cancel an appointment one day and when I called to cancel the receptionist said "ok! your appointment was canceled!" then when I called back to reschedule I was told I can't schedule a new appointment until I pay a $35 cancellation fee. I told the receptionist when I canceled she didn't tell me about the fee otherwise I wouldn't have canceled because that's an outrageous fee. I was then told I signed a form a year ago when I made my first appointment and it was written on there so I should have remembered what's on that form. I'm very shocked the owner would have the receptionist work this way and not have them say that during the calls. Seems like a way to lose customers. I obviously won't be going back here and won't recommend it to my family and friends.

BEWARE RIP OFF !!!! I am literally in shock that this place stays in business. I went in for a partial foil on straight shoulder length hair. Charged me 200$ and all my friends and family could not even tell I had hair done. I literally met my family and friends for lunch an hour later and they said hair looks nice, did u decide not to get a foil?. I get hair foil every 2 months for 10+ years. I have always loved it and even got compliments from complete strangers. My hair is dark blonde and I showed a pic and told her I wanted it several shades lighter the woman says to me your hairstylist who I've used for 30 year's probably didn't use bleach right? I said definitely have always used bleach that scared me. I wish I left then never again. Also website said 85-125??? Also this is the first bad review I have ever given. It took me a week to get over the shock of being robbed by this "salon"????? Don't go there !!! I'm traveling 2 hours to have my hair done right next week. Well worth the drive! Worst day EVER P.S. I was in shock I actually left a 20$ tip on top of 200$ I couldn't even think straight I guess I hoped the lighting was bad or it would lighten up in a day or two. LOL

I recently got my hair done and this was the Worst place to EVER get your hair done! I do not recommend this place even for those i do not like!! I went in to dye my hair a specific color (blond) and it came out ORANGE. Mind you my hair has been natural with no dye for years!! Not only that but i also wanted a blow dry and it was horrible as well. When i stated that it was not what i wanted and i did not like it they called the police on me because i did not want to pay for what i didnt ask for!! Now im stuck with orange hair which i had to pay for or be arrested! Please go somewhere else.

I love Salon Bianco and have seen Amy a couple of times now. Amy is an amazing hair dresser, her chair is a safe place, and her hands are the embodiment of talent. Now if you scroll through the reviews you'll see a couple of negative remarks regarding this salon. Yes they are expensive but your hair is the first thing people judge you on. I don't make a lot of money but I go to this salon because I value their service. They use great products and those are built into the price as well as their time. If you cancel your appointment last minute that's a money loss for them so yeah there is a fee since they can't always fill that lost spot. And as with any artist be clear on what you want, bring example photos and utilize their consultations (free if I recall) to get on the same page. My latest hair creation was bright orange, like fire orange, which is just what I wanted and I get compliments on it EVERY day I'm out and about. Worth it for me.

Brittany my fav stylist
Dotti F.
My stylist is a wonderful creative artist who nailed it. Been going to Amy for a short time. She aims to please and devotes her time just trying to make you happy. I thank you Amy for making me feel good about my hair. Emily does my lashes, another talented person who does a fabulous job. If you are looking for a salon who has many experienced individuals, I highly recommend checking this place out, you will be happy you did. Dotti

Excellent stylists for the best cuts, color and makeup. Expert stylists listen and help you achieve the look you want or guide you to the best looks. I don't have hair extensions but have seen other clients at the salon getting extensions and they look awesome.

Amy is great!

I got a massage by Danielle! I will definitely be back! It was perfect!

Very welcoming, relaxing, and friendly environment. Just moved here and went there, it was the best experience. My hair came out GREAT I cut it, blowout, and flat ironed. Not even expensive.

Best place ever ????????

Awesome awesome service, as always. I was in traffic and running late to my appointment and they stayed open later to accommodate. And a beautiful cut and keratin.

Best hair salon in Providence!! My hair has never been more healthy and manageable. Amy's hands are amazing, she has the most gentle touch.

Jocelyn is a miracle worker! My hair needed serious help. After 2 visits to Salon Bianco, my hair looks fantastic. The environment is very relaxing as well. Highly recommended.
Sarah D.
The staff at Salon Bianco is always professional an pleasant. Junior is nothing less than a miracle worker n terms of cut and color. I have fine but thick hair, and most people either leave it looking flat or out of control. He worked with me to find exactly the right style for my hair and needs.

I had an appointment at 9am. I showed up at 8:50. Was left waiting until 9:40am until I decided to leave and the woman that was supposed to see me still had not arrived. Very unprofessional and a big waste of time.

I had a 1:00 appointment with Britney, when I got there Britney was supposedly "finishing up" on another customers hair style which took about 30 more mins even though the customers hair had already appeared to be finished. I got in the actual salon chair around 1:40 for what I expected to be nice, voluminous curls (showed the girl a picture and everything) she was done in 15 MINUTES. By the look of my hair it was obvious she had completely IGNORED the picture I showed her, not to mention my hair looked horrible which I think she knew since when she was done she said "I think it looks beautiful" Emphasis on the "I"part. I was left with plain regular everyday curls I could have done myself. Not only was I running behind schedule on my PROM DAY. I was now stuck with a crummy hair style that I eventually had to go home and fix myself. I could have sat there and told her to fix it but it was obvious by how she was using the curling iron that she did not know what she was doing. I don't doubt that Salon Bianco is a good salon, just be mindful of who is doing your hair. Just because you're licensed, doesn't exactly mean you know what you're doing. I highly recommend Betha, it's obvious she knows what she's doing and put's a lot of time and effort into her work and making sure the customer loves it. I've seen a lot of her work and she's amazing.. my fault for thinking the rest of her employee's were on her same skill level.

I went to this salon once, as a last resort on my graduation day. I tried to get into one down the street but they were snooty, rude, and didn't accept walk ins. So I drove down Federal Hill until I came across Salon Bianco. I walked in & was greeted by the kind receptionist. Within 5 minutes, I was seated & was getting my hair done. I wanted simple curls that would fit under my graduation cap & the stylist absolutely understood and didn't argue or try to suggest something else. It took about 10 minutes, they looked great, lasted me all day & only cost $20! & everyone was very kind, congratulating me on my graduation. I'm hoping to make an appointment there within the next week to get a hair cut :)
