Unfriendly Staff

by 104markan at Citysearch

I will never go back. The woman who cut my hair (sorry I don't remember a name) and the woman who took my money at the end of the appointment were both incredibly rude. The haircut wasn't even that great. Definitely not worth the high prices.

My GF go to spot

by NewYork311 at Citysearch

This is my girlfriends pride and joy of Boston. We lived in NY for years, and she used to only get her haircut when she came back to Boston, so she could go to Kayla at Blu Salon. My babe looks hot as ever when she leaves Blu Salon, so I had to write a review. Wow!

  • Pros: Damn she looks good
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love my Hair!!!

by hamomail at Citysearch

I was tired of my old stylist not giving me any new suggestions so I looked up some salons and ended up at Blu. This salon was cool and relaxing. The staff made me feel totally comfortable. My appointment was with Kayla and she gave me two totally different takes on what I could go with for a new style. I felt comfortable enough to let her decide and now I have a look that is all my own! Thank you so much I love it!!!!!

  • Pros: Great view of Newbury street, Not Newbury Street prices
  • Cons: No tip on credit card
3 Star Rating: Average
