About

Pathos Salon Boston is a hair salon at 270 Newbury Street on the first floor. Its stated mission centers on a memorable experience, exceptional service and a relaxed atmosphere, with an emphasis on professionalism, teamwork and customer satisfaction. The salon describes itself as a Green Circle Salon, as organic and as top-rated.

The color menu covers root touch-ups, toners and glazes, root shadow, single process and double process color, vivid color, and corrective color. Foil highlights come in partial and full versions, and balayage is hand-painted rather than foiled, with a consultation offered beforehand. Color correction addresses uneven regrowth, brassiness, banding, color that is too light or dark, bleach damage and patchiness, and it may take several appointments. Single process root coverage is offered for natural gray coverage, and vivid color can be paired with balayage, highlights, pop-up pieces or the whole head. The salon says it guarantees satisfaction with its balayage results. Color services do not include a blow-dry.

Saphira Salon Treatments are the salon's signature, built on mineral technology. Five 60-minute treatments are priced at $150 each: Scalp Renewal and Hair Glow for dry, damaged or sun-bleached hair; Holistic Hair Infusion for scalp irritation, extensions or very dry hair; Volume Lift for thin, fine or brittle hair; Seaside Beach Waves for fine to normal hair; and Curl Power Definition for curly, wavy or textured hair. Mineral DeFrizz Treatment is a 90-minute service at $350 suited to all hair textures, which the salon says reduces frizz with low heat, no fumes and no processing time, with results lasting up to 5 months with proper aftercare. Keratin smoothing treatments from Cezanne, GK and Magic Sleek are offered, with formaldehyde-free options; Cezanne Express Keratin starts at $280 and Magic Sleek Traditional starts at $600. Clients planning a trip with chlorine or salt water exposure are advised to book a Magic Sleek treatment at least 10 days before leaving.

Extensions are custom ordered for each client, as the salon keeps no extension stock on site, and an initial consultation is required unless the client supplies their own hair. Options include tape-in, hand-tied weft and bonded extensions, with removal and reinstallation available in one appointment. Consultations cost $50 and are credited toward a booked service. For weddings, the salon offers bridal party styling at the salon or at a location the client chooses, with bride styling starting at $150 and makeup available when a makeup artist is scheduled. Stylists can set up a privacy screen on request, and clients can book by phone.

The salon uses a selection of natural products that can be worked into a daily hair routine, and it trains its staff in the latest hair innovations with ongoing advanced education.

The salon aims for a relaxed setting.
