What People Are Saying About Salon Mario Russo - 9 Newbury
The Owner
Salon Mario Russo - 9 Newbury
Owner
Mario opened his first salon and then his main salon, Salon Mario Russo at 9 Newbury Street in the heart of Boston's famous retail, arts and business area. Mario wanted to create a salon that, although metropolitan, retained a relaxed atmosphere. Mario hires and trains stylists to be current on fashion trends, but he insists that all staff be highly approachable and eager to cater to the distinct lifestyles of their clients. As one of the oldest cities in the US, Boston retains an old world charm that is refined and distinct. Yet, Mario and other city leaders in fashion, retail and the arts have created a modern city that now creates trends, products and styles rather than just following what happens elsewhere. Mario is consulted by fashion editors and stylists from around the country as they determine what hair and beauty trends Americans will be following each season.

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.

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.

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!

Today I have smooth and silky hair. That wasn't always the case. Normally my hair is extremely coarse, dry, and with the slightes humidity it gets frizzy. But not any more. Monika at Salon Mario Russo suggested I get the "Keratin Protein Treatment". The results are amazing. My hair looks 20 years younger. My hair now has shine, sheen, luster, and body. It never frizzes-up, and never looks dull. In a word, my hair is beautiful. Thanks to Monika, I love my hair again. The first step, she applied the special oil to my hair. After waiting about 45 min. she then flat iron my hair. For the second step, I returned to the salon 3 days later, when Monika washed the oil out of my hair and then simply dried it. At that moment, I saw the amazing results. Since getting this done in January, I look forward to washing and drying my hair - because it's effortless. My husband said he loves how my hair looks every single day. Just ask Monika about this treatment. I gurantee you'll love the results. I almost forgot the write that the results of this treatment lasts for months. It's already been 2 months - and my hair still looks like it did on the day I recieved this treatment. It's really worth the time, effort, and cost. I know I will do this again.
