The Founder

I have been seeing Esmeralda for several years for my Keratin treatment and every time she treats my hair it looks amazing. I love Esmeralda because she listens to you and gives great advice on what hair treatment, style and color is best for you. Esmeralda helped me transition to grey and I could not be happier. Esmeralda is caring, patient and loves her career.

Alice Lee

I've been to five salons in the Merrimack Valley. This is the one. Esmeralda took thirty minutes just to look at my hair before she touched it. It shows.

Megan R.

Adriana's color is art. My blonde has never looked like this. It reads as sunlight, not highlights, exactly what I asked for.

Priya K. Manchester · Balayage

I love Esmeralda's Beauty Bar! I have had my hair and lashes done multiple times by Cedar and she is always so welcoming and a fun person to be around. She pays attention to close detail, very precise, and takes pride in her work. My lash extensions have always been comfortable and long lasting for a great price. My hair is always looking healthy and shiny after she works her magic. Highly recommended!

Cassidy Piroso

Maria is absolutely amazing! I went in as a new client with a very particular gray blending / blonde / dimensional idea and she was so skilled at bringing the best version of that to life. The salon is welcoming and bright, and all the staff made me feel pampered and valued. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Kelly

Nobody rushes you here. It's ninety minutes of being considered, which is a thing you stop expecting from a salon.

Sarah D. Derry · Signature facial

I walked in after a bad box-dye correction from another salon. Esmeralda fixed what three stylists couldn't. Worth every mile of the drive.

Jenna M. Windham · Color correction

Esmeralda's Beauty Bar is a beautiful reflection of the care, talent, and dedication Esmeralda has poured into her work for years. I've been going to her for over a decade and I truly can't say enough good things. She has an incredible gift, especially when it comes to cutting curly hair. My hair is thick and can be tricky, but Esmeralda gives it shape and style that lasts for weeks.

Cari Knuckles

I took my teenage daughter for a haircut here today and could not have had a better experience! Esmeralda and her whole team are amazing, and my daughter couldn't be happier with her hair. She took the time to really listen to what she wanted and made her feel so comfortable from the minute we walked through the door. I can't wait to go back!

Amanda Arria

My hand-tied extensions have never been this comfortable. Jules matched my density perfectly. I genuinely forget they're in.

Taylor S. Salem · Hand-tied

Bridal trial was the calmest hour of my entire wedding week. On the day, my hair outlasted the reception.

Olivia K. Nashua · Bridal

Esmeralda's been my stylist for years and her professionalism, knowledge, and demeanor are the reason I have remained with her over time. Her clients are loyal, and the team she's building and mentoring are bright and engaging. The salon is clean and the location is easily accessible. You will walk away feeling and looking like a million bucks.

Deb Bussiere

I tell everyone at work about this place. My cut finally moves the way it's supposed to.

Danielle P. Londonderry · Precision cut

Saw Esmeralda! She got my color updated and got my pixie back into shape. She has been doing my hair for 15 years and getting to go to her own salon is truly wonderful. I have never had a bad experience here and highly recommend!

Anna Strong

I had the best experience at Esmeralda's Beauty Bar! From the moment I walked in I was totally taken care of. I trusted Esmeralda to do what she thought would look best and she did not disappoint. We had great conversation and everyone was so kind and wonderful. The space was clean and so aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to go back!

Savannah Rivera

A real consultation. A real conversation. A real result. I've never left a salon this happy.

Amy L. Derry · First visit

My roots used to be a stripe. Now they're a whisper. Whatever Adriana is doing, she's doing it right.

Rachel T. Hudson · Dimension

I've been with this location since it was Salon Bogar. When it changed to new management I stayed on and haven't regretted that decision once. Vicky is amazing, from giving me a fresh haircut that emphasizes my curls to a fun black-and-silver balayage. She did a lot of careful work over a couple of months to make sure my hair wasn't destroyed in the process. I will absolutely be back.

Linda H

Love this place. The service and the attention are exceptional. Esmeralda and her staff are truly fantastic, pleasant people to work with.

Deb G.

The whole team is sharp. I bounced between three stylists over two years and every single appointment has been excellent.

Kimberly B. Manchester · Cut + color

I drove forty minutes to book with Esmeralda and I'd drive twice that. She tells you the truth about your hair.

Nicole G. Bedford · Color correction

The space is quiet. The music is right. Every detail is intentional. You feel taken care of.

07 · Questions
VII

Questions, answered.

The handful we hear most. If yours isn't here, call us, we'd rather answer in person.

Yes, it's the foundation of the house. Every new guest receives a complimentary thirty-minute consultation before the first service. We block it separately from the appointment. No scissors, no chair time, just a conversation about your hair as it is, and where you'd like it to live.
Three to four weeks for new guests, especially for color and extensions. Returning guests who book their next visit before leaving generally have no trouble holding their preferred time. Friday and Saturday are typically reserved four weeks out.
25 Orchard View Drive, Londonderry, NH 03053, just off Route 102, five minutes from exit 4 on I-93. Free parking in front. We're a short drive from Derry, Windham, Manchester, Hudson, and Salem.
Everything on the shelf has been chosen by the stylist who uses it, we don't carry anything the house doesn't reach for itself. L'Oréal Professionnel for color. Olaplex for structural integrity. Oribe and Kerastase for finishing. Hydropeptides for Skincare.
We ask that children attending an appointment for themselves come with a parent who isn't also being serviced. The salon is a quiet room, it's part of the experience we're protecting for everyone.
