Jamie Pratt is the only girl i trust one i would ever trust to color my hair! Runway Salon in Newburyport
March 27, 2009 at 7:53 am
I don’t think I could say enough good things about my hair color. The stylists at Spa Ni’ Joli have helped me go from blonde to brunette to red and back again in a safe way, keeping my hair from becoming over processed and completely damaged. I love every color I have ever become there!

Spa Ni’Joli knows what they are doing. The stylists know exactly how to blend the perfect colors. From the color consultation to the end color result it is a grest experience.

SpaniJoli. I would not let anyone else touch my hair (cut or color). I am impressed with the continuing education the stylists are involved in. Tina is top notch and always listens to my ever changing needs.

KC Donovan @ Spa ni’joli is AMAZING!! She is by far the best colorist I have ever been to (I’ve lived in several states so been to a lot of salons) ….her haircuts are nothing short of perfect ….she can help you figure out a style and cut that will bring out your best features and she really listens. I trust her to do absolutely anything at all w/no input from me, and she never disappoints. The products they use at the salon are top notch as well.
