sad saffron closed...

by sadsaffronclosed at Citysearch

I was sad to see Saffron closed, but also sad to see the review written by lucky mom 5... I personally spoke with Judy Lyon in regards to the reason for the sudden closing of Saffron. I too had a gift card... The fact was it was not sudden, she had been in a battle with her landlord since 2007, when she discovered she was being charged for twice the space Saffron actually occupied.. Bottom line, Saffron was forced to close by her landlord. She told me all the details and all I can say is that she did her best to keep the business open and if she had a finacial set back, well it certainly was alot more that lucky mom's $100.00!!

It is a shame, small business owners have such a tough time and when the landlords do not work with the tenant to help keep a thriving business alive or if they over charge for space they do not have!!! The smaIl busniess cannot survive, especially in this economy.

Judy did the best she could do..She said for all the people who lost their gift cards, she was so sorry and tried to get her competitors to take them over, but they could not. With the bad economy, she understood..

Anyway, I just wanted to tell another side, as it was told to me by a very fine woman who did her best!

I wish her well...

Stuck with gift card

by luckymom5 at Citysearch

Saffron salon in Concord closed without notice and many (like me) are stuck with unusable gift cards. Apparently, the owner, Judy Lyon, filed for bankruptcy. Pretty lame that she did not notify her customers to let them know to use their gift certificates before she closed.

So disappointed

by bostonroscrea at Citysearch

So I turned up at Saffron two days before Christmas with my $100 card only to find it is closed down. What happened ?

best wax EVER

by mmm21 at Citysearch

I've had waxes before and after Lisa (sadly, I am now 1000 miles away from her expertise) and she is by far the best. A full brazilian is practically painless (the key is the hard wax) and she is both quick AND thorough, even tweezes. On top of everything, she is great at making you feel comfortable. I am so sad that I might not find someone as good as her again!!!

• Pros: great atmosphere, other services sound just as good
• Cons: tad expenseive but worth it

different but good

by SarahNew at Citysearch

I was hoping to get a last min apointment because my hair was really grown out and I felt a little desperate. I had to wait a week, but it was worth it. It was pretty friendly there, everyone liked eachother, and weren't fake or too dramactic in their style. I like to have a very natural blond so this felt right. I loved how my hair was shiny and soft afterwards. When I finished I went to Concord center and walked around a bit. Really nice.

Puts the Ahhhh in Spa

by dhd at Citysearch

New to Concord and wanted somewhere I could count on for everything...nails, wax, cut, color, massage.

Tried a few places in town, but nothing I would go back to. The staff at Saffron have been lovely at everyone of my many visits. Very accomidating when I need to reschedule or need a last minute appt. When I go in for services, I come out relaxed and totally revived. I call this place my little sanctuary now.

Great waxing by Lisa, nails made beautiful again by Terry, and Sandy works her magic with hair.

Saffron is a great go to place with exellent parking, prices, and welcoming enviornment.

Go there and enjoy for yourself.

• Pros: Great location, Comfortable design inside, Wonderful staff

Got to share my besk kept secret - Saffron

by rosebud312 at Citysearch

How could I have been so lucky to find this place? After spending countless full days driving to all the big names on Newbury Street, I happened upon Saffron. After a facial, I ventured out into haircuts and color, with great trepidation, I might add.

Never mind that I was elated, it was a great ego boost to have people compliment me on my hair cut, highlights and glowing skin and ask me where I go. So, though they are near and dear to me, I have to share it with those discriminating patrons like myself who search and search for talented people.

It won't cost you a mortgage payment and you won't have to fight traffic and meter maids or even fuss with the new hig tech parking machines that take mastercard on Newbury St! Skip the 40.00 parking and get a delicious lunch at concord Provisions. It's gratifying!

• Pros: closeby, no drive, no hassles, very economical, considering the services
• Cons: It's closed on Labor Day weekend.

Sophistication in the burbs...

by vissamp at Citysearch

I just moved to Concord from the South End of Boston. A cultural shock in many ways. the thought of trecking back into town for my hair/massage/facial needs was not something I was looking for, but was sure I was going to have to...

Alas, next door to Concord Provisions owned by one of the "Tom's" of Nantucket Nectors, a very swank grocer, there was Saffron, an even swanker Spa.

Clean, light and airy, this Spa covers it all. No more trips to Newbury Street for me. Not only saving in parking and gas, but the pricing is well affordable for those of us use to paying outrageous fees for less of what one can get at Saffron.

Try it out....

Heavenly Massage with Liz

by seattlerains at Citysearch

I'm in from out of town, but am in the area every few weeks. I found this spa on citysearch, so I'm compelled to write my own review. I have had all kinds of massage and I get a massage about every two weeks. Liz's massage was the best I've had - this was the first time she's worked on me and the massage was perfect - she found every problem area, used the right amount of pressure, didn't talk during the massage except when necessary. I'm truly amazed.

• Pros: Best Massage
• Cons: None

Fab Haircuts for my boys!

by rosewoodale at Citysearch

I sent my husband and son in for haircuts to Saffron, after getting a recommendation from a friend. My husband is more the barber haircut kind of guy and I was hoping for a better haircut for him. He was reluctant to go to a spa, thinking it more a place for "girls", but I made appointments for my guys and they went and had a great experience. They were both taken care of by a young woman named Alyssa (very tall and attractive) and they came out looking happy, relaxed, and I must say, handsome. My husband loved his haircut, thought the hairwash much nicer than the barber's ;), and was delighted that the price was so reasonable. He'll definitely go back to Alyssa!
