Salon 6a & Spa — Local services in Barnstable

I knew I would have some time to kill between leaving one summer rental and moving on to another in another town on the Cape, so I decided I would (very last minute mind you) maybe get a massage or facial. I didn’t have a lot of faith that anyone could take me so last minute, so I was pleasantly surprised that Salon & Spa 6A had an unexpected opening for both. My experience couldn’t have been better. Sometimes the vibe in spas can be off putting or elitist. This was not the case here. The vibe was warm, relaxed, friendly, and low-key.

My massage with Gail was wonderful. I’ve had a lot of massages in my life, and this one was one of the very best. I felt relaxed and very well cared for afterwards. Gail seemed highly intuitive in her approach (meaning - it seems like she can really read bodies) and I appreciated the perfect balance of light “getting to know each other” conversation and silence.

My facial with Emily was unlike any other facial I have ever had, in part because she includes energy work, but also because my skin actually looks 10 times better. I have struggled with acne & rosacea my whole life, so I have approached skin care & facials with very low expectations. Mostly I went because I like when someone touches my face, & most massages don’t include the face. So here I am the day after, and I still notice a difference; I’m really surprised. My face has much less blotchy redness & inflammation, and the overall tone is more even. Even my age spots don’t stand out as much. My face feels soft without the usual oily texture. I have never put much faith in “products,” but whatever she used or did produced noticeable benefits. I’m beginning to wonder if the combination of the facial and the energy work was what “supercharged” my results? If I lived on the Cape, you better believe that I would be getting a facial from Emily on a regular basis, no lie. I consider that experience a healing experience for my face, and I am so grateful for having found her. Her talents go beyond skin care, and she is worth way more than...

I give 3 stars only because of the treatment from one of the employees (a short male employee) My family and I went in for a haircut for my baby boy (1yr old) who was very fuzzy, crying and being difficult while Liz was cutting his hair. Liz remained very patient and truly did her best effort. The bad experience was because my daughter who is 3 years old screamed while watching her brother cry getting a haircut. Immediately, this male short employee came, raising his voice, pointing at us, telling us that we needed to leave. I grabbed my daughter and waited outside the salon while my husband was with my baby boy finishing up his haircut. The owner of the salon went outside and apologized to me for the way this employee spoke to us.

I truly get that no one likes to have children screaming or yelling, I get it, but at the same time, they are kids, and sometimes they font react the best way possible.

I have had amazing experiences in this salon in the past but I truly hope that something is done to this employee about...

I was looking for a new salon and a Google search brought me to Salon 6A. I was impressed with their service from the moment I made the appointment. The front desk staff is warm and welcoming and there's no "attitude" like with other salons. Everyone was super friendly. Deb did a great consultation with me, asked me what I wanted and what I liked, and even asked what I don't like. I've never had a stylist ask me that before but it was her way of making sure she gave me exactly what I wanted. She did beautiful highlights and a cut and blow dry. The whole salon was clean and neat and their prices are totally reasonable, too. I usually don't buy products at the salon but I decided to buy a heat spray Deb used on me. There was no pushy product sales tactics which I really appreciated! I am so happy I discovered this salon and will definitely be...
