The team behind the chairs

Cheryl

Cheryl

Salon Owner & Master Stylist

Come take a seat in Cheryl’s chair, where nearly five decades of experience meet unmatched passion and creativity. Cheryl began in the beauty industry at 19, graduating from Brockton Beauty Academy. That’s 48 years behind the chair, 42 of them as the proud owner of A Cut Above.

Her clients enjoy her deep expertise and her boisterous personality, warm spirit, and a truly full-circle salon experience. She’s especially known for permanent waving, advanced cutting techniques, and finding creative solutions to any hair challenge. Outside the salon she’s all about family: two daughters, three grandchildren, and cheering on her grandson at his motocross races.

MaryEllen

MaryEllen

39 Years of Experience

A passionate professional in the hair industry since 1986 and a proud graduate of LeBaron Hair School, MaryEllen has built a reputation for excellence, especially among mature and senior clientele. Whether you want a sleek, modern style or classic glamour with big, backcombed volume, she delivers.

Before her career in hair she worked as a nurse’s aide, which gives her a compassionate, hands-on approach. Outside the salon she enjoys the beach with her husband and two children, and heartfelt conversation with everyone she meets.

Ginna

Ginna

Precision Stylist

A 2017 graduate of the Bristol-Plymouth Cosmetology Program, Ginna loves hands-on, detailed services — men’s haircuts, special event makeup, and all types of hair extensions. She holds certifications in every major extension method, plus Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Treatments.

Outside the salon she’s goal-driven and adventurous, often planning her next trip abroad or attending events with live mediums.

Brittany

Brittany

Certified Color Specialist

A 2020 graduate of Rob Roy Academy with certifications in Brazilian Blowout, Masters of Balayage, and Keratin Treatment. Brittany focuses on beautifully blended, lived-in color and keeps growing through ongoing education in lived-in blonding techniques.

Outside the salon she keeps up with pop culture, reads psychological thrillers, and loves time with her family.

Meadow

Meadow

Custom Color & Creative Cuts

A 2023 graduate of the Cosmetology Program at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Vocational Technical School, certified in Brazilian Blowout, Barbicide, and Malibu C treatments. Meadow specializes in custom colors and unique, personalized cuts, with a focus on lived-in blonding and alternative haircutting styles.

When she’s not behind the chair you’ll find her exploring antique shops or enjoying a good movie.

Salon policy

  • Our salon is entirely cash and check only for all services and retail products. We do not have an ATM on property; after your service your stylist can direct you to a recommended ATM.
  • Rough cost estimates and starting prices can be provided over the phone. Consultations are free and encouraged and can lead to a more accurate estimate.
  • Gift cards are treated as cash. If one is misplaced and you cannot physically present it, we cannot honor it, as we do not keep a log of gift cards sold.

  • Any more than 15 minutes late is subject to being cancelled by your stylist.
  • If an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours before the service date, half of the service total will be charged at your next service, in addition to that day’s service.
  • A no-show is responsible for half of the full service total at the next appointment, in addition to that service total. Repeated no-shows may lose the privilege of booking in advance and will need to wait for walk-in availability.

  • One-week guarantee on all haircutting services, and a two-week guarantee on color services, for small corrections if you feel a mistake or oversight was made.
  • Free corrections don’t apply if the client was advised against a choice and insisted on it, or if recommended aftercare was not followed.
  • If you have a change of heart about a style you chose, full price applies to change it.

  • We welcome clients with physical and non-physical disabilities; our staff is well seasoned and adaptable.
  • There are zero steps or stairs to navigate our salon, and all restrooms are wheelchair accessible and equipped with grab bars.
  • Clients who come with personal health aides are asked to have the aide or caregiver present for the whole appointment. The same applies to clients who are a potential fall risk or have extreme mobility problems, and for clients with a verbal disability, a person they are comfortable communicating with should accompany them.
  • If a wheelchair has an attached headrest, it must be removed before the haircut, with the tools to remove it brought along.
  • Stylists drape to Massachusetts cosmetology board standards, which does not include protecting assistive technology or medical equipment. Stylists cannot assist with restroom visits or physical transfers. Receipts are available on request.
