About

The salon has been in business for 50 years on the first block of Newbury Street. It describes itself as one of Boston's premier hair salons and says its team includes highly skilled stylists, color specialists, and beauty consultants. The salon sits between Giorgio Armani and Concepts. It suggests parking garages such as Boston Common or the Back Bay garage at 500 Boylston, or valet at the Newbury St Hotel or Restoration Hardware, since street parking is not always available.

The salon is a Goldwell color salon. Color services include gloss and root coverage gloss, single process color with or without root coverage, mini foil for face-framing highlights, partial foil on the top or sides, full foil, and balayage, which is a full head of highlights done with the balayage technique. Haircuts include a wash, cut, and blowdry. Blowdry, styling, and updos are also offered, along with blowdry with extensions.

Extensions are a large part of the menu. Options include k-tip, sew-in wefts, tape-in, i-tip, and clip-on extensions, as well as toppers and wigs. The salon makes custom European hair toppers and wigs. Extension pricing is set at a free consultation and depends on length, amount, texture, and color. Clients can also book extension removal and routine maintenance appointments.

For weddings and events, the salon offers a wedding hair trial, blowouts, updos, customized styling, and on-site styling. Bridal parties can be served in the salon with coordinated scheduling when booked in advance, and large parties are advised to book at least two months ahead. Professional makeup for weddings is offered, though availability is limited. Bridal inquiries should be sent by email, though phone calls are welcome. Bridal hair starts at $150 and makeup starts at $200.

Prices are starting rates that vary by stylist, and every service is booked a la carte. Cancellations or changes need 24 hours notice. A change made within 24 hours of the appointment is charged half the service fee, and a no-show is charged the full amount for the missed services. The salon strongly encourages children under 10 not to visit. Certified service animals and emotional support animals are welcome with visible identification. The salon is open Sunday 10am to 6pm, Monday 10am to 7pm, Tuesday through Thursday 9am to 8pm, Friday 9am to 7pm, and Saturday 9am to 5pm.
