In Short – Considered by many to be the best hair salon in town, Mario Russo caters to Boston's power crowd. The chic salon fits in with its upscale neighbors--the Ritz, Cartier and Akris.The services are fairly basic, from highlights to straightening. They do branch out to makeup and nails however, so it's a good spot to get ready before a night on the town.
beautiful hair...finally
by mrscoole
I have always hated my hair - it's so fine that I look like I have about half as much as I should. My wedding was coming up and I found reviews for Rossanne Lopez of Salon Mario Russo - many clients said that she knows how to deal with all types of hair. I thought I'd give her a shot, especially since I was getting married so close to the salon.
From day one, I knew it would work out with her. Rossanne set up a plan for me which included two appointments to color my hair before the wedding. She also got me an extension. Admittedly, I was a little apprehensive, but I believe that if you give a true artist full reign of what they do well, you will not be disappointed.
As far as the color - I have never, NEVER received so many compliments about my hair color. Rossanne told me how to take care of my hair between visits, and all of a sudden, I had great hair!
On my wedding day, Rossanne gave me a big hug and tried to help me relax. She is the most meticulous person I have ever met - no hair was left out of place, literally. My hair was done in exactly 90 minutes, like she promised, and it looked outstanding. No one would know that I had an extension in because the color was an absolute perfect match. I just looked like I had full, beautiful hair!
Usually when I look back at pictures, I think "what was my hair doing???", but my wedding, for the first time, was an exception. I look at my photos and cannot believe how good my hair looked. For someone who has always been self-conscious, my color and extension were worth the price and beyond. I will undoubtedly continue to "treat" myself by seeing Rossanne over and over. At the risk of sounding shallow, my confidence has grown because of the beautiful work she had done!
Hip Salon with Friendly and attentive Staff
by IrishTemper
While I would love to have my hair done by Mario himself, my pockets do not reach so deep. I am not very good at scheduling ahead of time and usually just call to see if anyone is available on the day I feel desperate for a good cut. I have no fear doing this becuase everyone is so talented at Mario Russo and they always listen to what I want.
- Pros: Great Cuts and styles!
Undeniably the best!
by susanmancinone
I've been going to Salon Mario Russo's for almost two years now and I have to travel by way of ferry to the mainland and then catch a bus or commuter rail into Boston, but let me tell you it is so worth it!
From the moment I step into the salon I am greeted with welcoming smiles from everyone. They are all so attentive to me even if they are not doing my hair, the atmosphere is professional, friendly, relaxing, and caring.
I went in with a mousy and outgrown hairdo and left with exactly what I wanted. I felt like a new me again, my spirits were uplifted. Ja'coall brightened my color and Ashley gave me a great cut, both being very talented in their field and spending time talking about what would be best for my type of hair. I have had many hair cuts from Violet as well and she has consistently given me great haircuts. Rachel gave me the most relaxing wash and head massage ever.
I also brought my daughter who is a freshman in college. John did her color and Ashley her cut. She was so pleased with both and absolutely loved her hair as well as all her college friends. Everyone wanted to know where she got her hair done.
I highly recommend Salon Mario Russo, give it a try!
