I've been going to the SmartStyle salon in Gorham, NH for several years now.JC and the rest of the crew are always warm and welcoming as well as professional...They do a great job and I never go anywhere else.
It was great. Madeline was friendly and did a great job. If I had an idea she let me know that it was ok.

I had Lindsay cut my hair and was very happy with my cut. Lindsay was very good asking about what I wanted and made sure before cutting we were on the same page.
Just the other day I had Lindsay do my hair and she did a terrific job. Thanks Lindsay
great service, amazing price wife was extremely happy with how her hair turned out. I can't recommend this place enough
Thoughtful and friendly service. Perfect.
Very accommodating, personable and professional. Set me a same day appointment, made a thorough consultation feel like a very natural conversation, and delivered results I was thrilled with. 11/10 would do again. Thank you Lindsay!
If im being completely honest my experience here was phenomenal, my hair was in a nightmarish condition it had been growing for 3 years and hadn't been properly brushed in months. It was very knotted and painful any time my hair got pulled. The woman who I had seen to fix this I believe was named Sarah, she was very…
The best salon I’ve ever set foot in. Super sweet and gentle. I love my hair and how it came out I definitely needed a cut. She was very patient and understanding and did a fantastic job. Would recommend 100%😍
Loved it
Sara, I enjoy Sara tremendously . Always have a wonderful experience with her..
They took me right in and were friendly and professional. I got a very good cut which I am very happy with. I have used the salon before and have never been disappointed.
Sara always does a great job she alway welcoming, pleasant and upbeat
The staff are friendly, personable, and take time to talk to each individual client they are with. As well as making time to talk to others who are waiting. I give 5 stars for that, their products, and clean environment.
Sarah is my hair guru! I only go to her, she knows my hair, my likes and dislikes, always a beautiful job!
Did a walk in and the hairdresser was very friendly and cut exactly as I had requested.
Straight razor fade? Hell yes.
Sarah, the stylist was more interested in her visitors hanging out. I asked for a basic cut not too short (below jaw line). Basic cut is an equally layered cut around the whole head. Sarah parted my hair in the back... then I heard the razor. She started a buzz up the back of my head which ended in a gaping hole.…
I love going to j c she is such a sweet kind ,funny Hairdresser Who knows her stuff love her ❤️
Sarah and the staff there are always really nice and Sarah's an amazing hairdresser it took me almost 10 people till I found her my hair is difficult and and it's really rare for me to feel comfortable like I do there and I here she does amazing with kids too
Sara and her staff ALWAYS go above and beyond . Our son is autistic and Sara makes sure to take her time and go at his pace. 10 10 10 across the board.
Got a high and tight with a razor fade. Very happy with the service and will continue to come back!
I live coming here yo get my hair done they take good care of me and make sure iblike what they do and I love what they do..thank you again Lindsay, Sarah and Tacha
I have been coming here loyally ever since I moved up here 9 years ago. The staff has always been amazing, kind and willing to help. I have never had a bad experience there. I definitely recommend SmartStyle to anyone who needs their hair done.
The employees always make me feel like I'm at home and I simply love the atmosphere. The manager has helped me with some non listed services as well such as dematting of my hair and I was so grateful. They always help me feel like myself again!
We were in desperate need of haircuts. We book appointments easily on their website. JC is excellent, very personable and works safely and in a timely manner. Salon was clean and music was good too. We had appointments back-to-back 1:15 & 1:30, we were out of the salon by 1:50. We will definitely be back. Thanks JC
My boyfriend and I scheduled an appointment with JC to get our hair done. My boyfriend Noah came with long hair and was super nervous. I only needed a bit done, so I wasn’t nervous at all. Luckily, JC took us in and made us feel at home. She was extremely comforting and made us both look amazing! Now we have two Prince Charming’s! Love ya JC!
Jc and James will be forever my favorites. They are amazing at everything they do from cuts, color, and even eyebrows too and so much more! I've never been disappointed or with all the selections of hair colors available. I've been coming here for over 4 years. Always an amazing experience ✨️ of course I'll be going back too!!
I’ve been going here for years!! This is my go to place for trims and colorings. JC is the best!! She always does the most amazing job, and she is such a hoot. I always have the best time when she’s working her magic!
I want to start by saying what an amazing atmosphere to be in staff is friendly!! I got my hair cut by Sarah, she was the first stylist I have ever had that asked me if I wanted/liked face framing in stead of just going for it because I really don’t like the face framing she truly cared about what I wanted and…
James gave my hair life again! My hair was extremely dead from chemicals and I came in wanting to cut what was dead. He cut it and make me feel so beautiful! Thank you James!
Very professional and timely cut with great results. Thank you Jacy!
We had a great time my daughter and I we had 2 of the greatest hair stylists awesome women I loved them they treated us so well.

JC Styles did an awesome job with my hair. When it was long and I wanted to go blonde, Then later on I had her cut it all off and go gray with purple. Ooooooh! Thanks JC!
james has colored and cut my hair multiple times, and i’m always satisfied and happy with my results! he’s bleached my hair too, and has never ruined it! he is awesome at working with vibrant hair color too! work pictured below
I went to get my hair done for the first time here today and Sarah did amazing. My hair is pretty weird to deal with due to the 2 different textures and how thick it is but she did amazing. Thank you so much Sarah!
Jc is beyond amazing with haircuts for my 3 boys and myself. She is very patient with my 2 year old and 4 year old. I never have to worry about them with her. She always does a great job at cuts and styles. I always tell my friends and family to go see her.
The people that are in this smart styles are the best I have found in any. JC knows her stuff and always you feel like you are family. James is the energetic young man that will go to the extreme with your hair if you let him( ps go for it!! It’s worth it!!) Overall this has been the greatest place to go. They make…
JC did a great job on my kiddos' hair when it was messed up from a previous salon cut/dye. She salvaged the hair cut and re-dyed it (the color was great!), and she did all this by squeezing us in right before school pictures! She's such a nice person, too, and makes the qhole time with her pleasant and enjoyable.
Love the services and the staff. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
JC and the team are amazing! My wife has been seeing her for years for all types of styles and myself and the kids for cuts too!
Jenn (JC) is absolutely amazing. She is always going above and beyond for her clients. I am walking proof of this. I always leave feeling absolutely amazing. I highly recommend you stop in and see JC. You won't regret it.

JC is always so kind and professional. She is always accommodating to my schedule and always manages to squeeze me in to her busy schedual.
I loved this salon.. I fell in love with two of the people there… James and JC… they were my favorite hair stylists and if I ever move back to New Hampshire I’d gladly hit them up for another hair appointment ☺️Love you guys!!!
Absolutely the best. Hands down. JC is the absolute best hair stylist ive ever had privelage of knowing.... Definately wont catch me going n e where else.
Jc did an amazing job in my hair! She spent time telling me exactly what she was doing before she did each step she did highlights and lowlights, haircut and style. I did not feel well that day and she was very patient, kind and professional with me. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family and I will go to her again.
Jen is wonderful. She goes above and beyond to make sure people are happy. She accommodates people very well. She is very good at her job.
JC is my go to hair stylist! I always go in having some kind of idea of what I want, tell her, and she works her magic. I never leave there disappointed as she always creates a look that goes above and beyond what I could have imagined. Would totally recommend her.
JC always works with a smile and my hair always looks wonderful!
We absolutely love going to see JC. She’s been my hairdresser since I moved to the area, and I now take my son to see her. She’s become a good friend over the years and I always look forward to chatting while I’m in her chair
I love how JC and James do my hair they do not disappoint what so ever they do a beautiful job
JC is the hairstylist to go to! My husband and I both go to her and we are always very happy with our hair!
JC is my go to stylist. She is absolutely amazing. I can go to the salon with full confidence, tell her to just do something different, knowing I'll be more than happy with the outcome. Today I had the privilege of having her and her assistant ( James, I believe) work on my hair. Thank you both so much. I'm so happy 😊
My daughter and I went about a year and a half ago and both got our hair butchered! Showed her a picture of what I wanted and she cut the top of my hair to about 2 inches long. Just got my hair cut last week because I finally grew it out enough and was comfortable to get my hair cut again...somewhere else!!! Today…
