A customer at a Kittery hair salon

Being the southernmost town in the state of Maine, Kittery is uniquely situated to allow consumers to also easily take advantage of amenities just across the Piscataqua River, in Portsmouth, NH.

Not that there aren’t more than enough on offer in Kittery, mind you; some consumers just prefer more options than others when it comes to not only choosing where to dine, shop, and stay, but also when selecting service-related needs…like hair salons.

And while there are certainly plenty of these establishments in Kittery, I’ve also included a few mention-worthy shops just over the state line to consider for your hair care; drive time from the “outlet zone” is listed below alongside the address for each of the Portsmouth salons.

How about a keratin treatment, agave smoothing, facial hair waxing, or hair extensions? They can do all that, too…and more.

According to reviews, the salon is updated, spotless, and comfortable, and the four hair designers here are all friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

Modern Love

Bright, airy, and chic, this salon features highly-skilled, independent stylists, each with their own specialties, schedules, and pricing.

But note that, if you’ve never been to Modern Love before, you may have to wait a while before stepping through the doors; this salon is extremely popular, and oftentimes, the books are closed for all of the stylists.

The products on offer are just as impressive as the staff—whether you’re looking for vegan, cruelty-free, or planet-friendly, you’ll find exactly what you didn’t realize you were looking for when it comes to woke hair care.
