Sassoon Salon

For years, I’ve been in search of the perfectly modified, 1920’s-bob, and finally discovered Hazel. Trust me, the modern bob is not the most easy style to accomplish, mainly because no one is perfectly symmetrical. On top of that, people tend to have cowlicks, waviness, and other hair issues, which can sabotage any precision cut. Hazel’s great sense of style, patience, and focus, make her the ideal bob-​stylist. Most of all, she can really cut hair— which is major!
Thanks so much, Hazel!!!

I’ve been going to Chelsey for my hair color for months now and she never fails to do a flawless job. Over the past couple of months I’ve actually had random people approach me on the street to ask where I get my color done and I always push them to go to Sassoon! I called yesterday morning and they fit me right in immediately, I refuse to go anywhere else in Boston. I highly recommend going here for any kind of color you’re looking for — they turned me blonde to a violet-​red that’s absolutely stunning.

Chelsey is my go-​to for fashion colors. I went to her a couple of months ago, and she made my hair a lovely smoky grey. Today, she totally changed it up and dyed my hair different shades of blue. I feel like a mermaid! I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a colorist.

Love Fiona!!! Her cuts grow out fantastic!!! So worth it. Best short women cuts. She is wicked with graduation. She exemplifies the sassoon way. She is precise! All of the staff is talented, kind and fun.

Hazel and Jennifer. Look no further. They are the best. Honest, cool, welcoming, and great at what they do. My hair lasts longer than any cut, and I get lots of compliments. Thank you ladies:)

I had a hair color with Jennifer. All I can say is that she’s artistic, intelligent, honest and professional. I like her and I will always ask for her every time I need a color enhancement. The Salon is very comfortable, good team and prompt. I recommend this hair Salon to everyone who is looking for an elegant style.

Hazel is amazing! I always leave the salon feeling great! I have really difficult, thick, coarse hair and she does a wonderful cut that really lasts. I have a very hard time with many hair styles, but the ones she does for me are really easy to do at home and stylish as well. I always feel that my hair looks good. She is really engaging and asks lots of questions about your hair and is really careful to understand what you are looking for. I
Everyone in the salon is also really friendly and welcoming. Great place!!!

FIONA SINCLAIR is the best hair stylist I’ve ever had! Her cuts last longer than anyone I’ve ever gone to. Even when my hair grows out too long it still retains its shape and that’s a sign of an excellent cut. I love her and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look fabulous!
She is also very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Try her out. You won’t go to anyone else after her!

The best hair salon in Boston. Hazel was doing great hair cutting! I went to this store for three years. It is awesome!

I love Sassoon,
My first appointment I wandered in with frizzy, dry, completely dead and overly treated hair. Renee, one of the colorist there, put a color on my hair that wasn’t as harsh. She’s a miracle worker! She’s super friendly and makes sure you know what’s going on well she’s in the process. Time literally flies in her chair and you often forget you’re in a crowded salon. I was even more pleased on my second visit where I left with even sleeker, silker hair. It feels like a complete transformation!
Also the staff is so friendly. They are willing to talk to you, are very pleasant, and want you to feel comfortable. I get iffy about asking for drinks but they made me feel like it wasn’t even a problem which I appreciated. They don’t make you wait longer them three minutes before you’re seated and ready to go.
The blow dries are also a step I wouldn’t recommend skipping, it felt like heaven!
As far as pricing goes I get pretty iffy about spending too much. But this is a situation where you get MORE than you pay for.
Highly recommend!

Thank you DAVID CLARK for helping me rid myself of my long hair. I was ready for a change and I’m thankful there are stylists in the world like you who are able to give great advice, great haircuts and great conversation! I am now that great mix of rock n’ roll, class AND pretty.

Keely is amazing! I have a super short hair cut, and I get complimented on it all the time, even weeks after i’ve had it cut, thanks to her. In addition, she’s super nice and it’s always a pleasure to see her.
I’ve been to a couple other slightly less expensive salons in Boston, but the quality and service I received were not nearly as good. In addition, I take advantage of Vidal Sassoon’s free «bangs» trim service about 4 weeks after my cuts. which really helps to maintain my ‘do!
Go see Keely, you won’t regret it!

Even after moving halfway across the country, Sassoon Salon in Boston is still my go to place for getting my haircut. I have been to other Sassoon locations, and while they do a good job, Bri at the Boston location consistently makes my hair look like a billion dollars.
What really makes my experience with Bri and the Boston team stand out is the fact that my cut looks just as good after 2 months as it does on my day in the salon. In past experiences with different salons, I have received a great haircut only to have it grow in an unflattering way 3 weeks later. As a twenty-​something with a bob cut, it can be hard to justify spending a nice chunk of money on a haircut every month. The fact that Bri takes the time to consider how my hair will grow out cuts the number of trips in half (at least!) and makes the price here a real steal in the long run.

I have been seeing Hazel for my haircut for 3 years now, so this review is long overdue. Hazel is an excellent stylist in regards to both her technique and her personality. I have long hair which gets dry, tangled, and ratty, especially as I live abroad working in refugee camps. Fortunately, Hazel is there to clean up my haircut every six months. I always enjoy chatting with her as well, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a precision cut.

I’ve been going to the Sassoon Salon for years now. I started out as a hair model for the Salon when I was in my early twenties. I had creative bobs and hair colors that can only be found on tropical fishes in the Caribbean. Now that I am older, I’ve toned down my style to something more natural. What I like most about the stylists at the salon is that they will listen to you and help guide you to finding the perfect cut /​color for your style and face structure.
The colorists are up for anything. If you want fun and funky — they’ll do the best ombré hairstyle you’ve seen on this part of Newbury street. If you want a more natural look– their game and will make your normal hair color pop with some complimentary highlights.
The only downfall is the cost of the salon. But hey, you really get what you pay for here. So spend more and feel like a million dollars when you leave with an $ 80-​$ 100 cut.

I have to add on to my precious review. I now live overseas, about 6,000 miles away and I still make a point to come in to get my hair done by Fiona & Ritchie. I have travelled the world over and these two are the most amazing stylist and colorist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The skill, creativity and professionalism cannot be beat.

they have the best hair stylists BUT the receptionists are the worst!!! they mess up appointments and they have very bad attitudes! If I base my experience on the reception itself i would’ve never came back to them.

I went twice to see the same stylist. The first time was to basically trim long hair, which he did ok. The second time was to get a shorter cut, which was a disaster.
I came in with a picture of what I wanted. The haircut I got was totally different (length, shape, etc.). I ended up with single-​length hair that poofs out on the bottom due to inadequate layering rather than a multi-​length layered cut.
I raised these issues to the stylist before leaving the salon, but he was in a hurry to get to his next client and did not do anything to fix things. He told me that it would look better when I washed it at home (really? $ 100 haircut and you cannot walk out of the salon with it actually looking good?).
After washing it at home, of course it looked even worse. I tried to call the salon to get issues addressed by a more senior stylist, but apparently this would require multiple visits that would all need to take place in the middle of the day and they could not accomodate my schedule. They were also planning to charge for these visits.
This is bad service in every way and I am going somewhere else.

I saw David Clark today for my haircut. I must start by saying I’m a salon owner, who also is Vidal Sassoon trained so you can imagine my level of expectation.
I decided to drive the 1hr30minutes today because all of my stylists are booked this week and I’m leaving for vacation, and honestly, being the owner of a salon you never get to relax… And wanting to be treated to an experience without worrying about having to take a call, or answer questions or talk to clients… You go elsewhere to be pampered.
Needless to say, everyone was very personable, and I had a great conversation with David, all the while he gave me a MASTERFUL haircut!
I would most certainly recommend giving him a try! He’s been in this location for only 2 months having transferred from LA location… So get on his book before he’s the busiest hair cutter in Beantown!

I had my appointment with the salon director — Antonio. Had a Saturday appointment at 10:00AM for a haircut and didn’t walk out of the salon until past noon. He was running behind, and I was left waiting.
Atmosphere: This place reminds me of a bustling coffee shop and doctor’s office. I say doctor’s office, because when you enter, you wait… then after someone washes your hair, you wait again in another section of the salon. and then, when I am in his chair. I wait again for him. Not exactly the experience you want for a $ 120 appointment with the top guy. Despite this dismal waiting experience, this place is packed. mainly with clients that are 40 – 65 years old. I suppose it’s because of the higher price point. Had time for a lot of small chit chat and people traveled as far as New Hampshire and Rhode Island to see their stylist.
Personality: He dismissed the photos that I showed him and did not really seem to listen to what I wanted, but seemed to know what to do. Other than my first name, he didn’t ask for anything else. He literally just stared at my follicles and cut & cut & cut. After drying, more focused cutting & cutting. Very focused.
Skill/​Outcome: I must say that I got a lot of compliments from my hair — even my co-​workers went out of their way to compliment my hair.
Note: He will not be the one to blow dry and finish your hair, he has an assistant that does that.
Will I be back? Tough. he didn’t listen to me, I didn’t like the atmosphere, and he was late & kept me waiting like a doctor, and he has an assistant style your hair… but my hair cut came out awesome! And then after the cut, they push hard to sell you hair products. I don’t like that. One of the best cuts I ever received… and it has grown out so well. However, for the price paid $ 120 plus tip, I expect to get a great cut & great experience… my search still continues.
