About

Brian Richard's Salon opened in Franklin in 2010. Master Stylist Brian Richard Aiello built it from the ground up with color as its centerpiece, and the salon says it is built around color work rather than being a chain or a quick-cut shop. The salon states that color makes up more than 75% of its services and that it performs over 8,000 color services a year. It describes itself as award-winning and says it received Franklin's Readers' Choice Award for most trusted salon.

A colorist chooses the formula suited to each client's hair, and stylists keep notes on each client's color formula so results stay consistent between visits. Prices are set at booking, and listed rates are starting points adjusted for hair length, density and how complex the service is. Hair extensions are priced after consultation, and the salon says it gives a clear price before work begins. Appointments are said to start on time. Clients can relax in massage shampoo chairs and enjoy complimentary coffee and tea during appointments.

The salon serves clients from across the surrounding area, with many coming from Bellingham, including the town center, North Bellingham and Crooks Corner. It is about ten minutes from Bellingham center by Route 126 north, and parking is available at the Franklin location. The salon also retails Oribe and Moroccanoil products. According to the salon, senior stylists mentor newer team members in a team-first, drama-free setting, and staff have consistent days off, including Sundays. The salon offers continuing education support for training and certifications with Goldwell and Wella.

Color is the core of the work, and every service begins with a consultation covering hair history, lifestyle and maintenance preferences.

The salon describes its culture as team-first and drama-free, with coffee and tea served during appointments.
