About

Salon XS opened in 1990 on California Street in Newton, founded by Linda and Patti.

The stylists continue their education to keep up with current looks and more advanced cut and color techniques. The salon says its experienced team uses its own techniques to create individualized looks, and it describes itself as offering the best hair care and beauty products.

Services cover hair cutting and styling including children's cuts and barber cuts, color and chemical treatments, hair extensions, hair treatments, waxing, and bridal packages. Not every service or stylist can be booked online, so anything not listed online needs a phone call. Some prices vary by stylist depending on how much demand there is on their time.

Clients can buy e-gift cards through the website, and the online shop sells hair care products.

The salon stresses ongoing stylist education and individualized looks built with its own techniques.
