About

Owner Alyssa Jackson opened Volition in 2021 after years of training in salons in Newton, Hamilton, North Andover and Wenham and building her own clientele. A second location opened later at 300 Main St as a newer salon, which the business describes as a short trip from Boston.

Color work begins with an in-depth consultation that uses visual guides. The consultation walks through how many appointments the look will take, how often it needs upkeep and which products to use at home. The salon uses a gluten-free, vegan color line and offers a PPD-free color plus an ammonia-free option for clients with allergies. The salon also says its color processing technology gives a quicker processing time and healthier results. Complimentary video consultations are available to help clients choose services, and clients are asked to book everything they need for a visit together.

The head spa and infrared sauna are offered at 300 Main St. Head spa services take place in a private room and range from a 45-minute Spa Blowout to a 150-minute clinical ritual. Infrared sauna sessions are private and use red light therapy, chromotherapy and a Himalayan salt wall, and can be added to head spa visits. Men's haircuts are available at 300 Main St only. Free parking is in a private lot reached from behind the salon, and each client is given a robe on arrival. The salon serves one client at a time, so each stylist works with a single client during an appointment.

The salon describes itself as a luxury salon experience and says it aims for every visit to feel relaxed and pampered from arrival to finish. It also reports several recognitions: Salon Today Top 200, Best Salon in Essex County from Business Rate, a Neighborhood Favorite award from Nextdoor, and Best Salon North in Boston magazine's Best of Boston 2023 awards.

Aims for each visit to feel relaxed from arrival to finish, with a tailored consultation before each step and one stylist working with one client at a time.

The salon describes its atmosphere as drama-free, with open communication.
