Despite being a renowned seaside resort community for the well-heeled, the powers that be in Kennebunkport apparently assume that both visitors and residents are perpetually well-coiffed, as well, because there is nary a hair salon to be found in town.
But don’t despair about the state of your hair, dear readers, if you plan to be in the area—because thankfully, the surrounding communities have got you covered.
There are a variety of salons to choose from within a short 20-minute drive—everything from chic, boutique-y studios to utilitarian, one-chair operations. Something for every preference and budget, in other words!
