  1. Even better is her price range, VERY AFFORDABLE!
  2. After years of trekking to Newbury Street, spending a lot of money and receiving a lot of attitude, Shimon Salon has made getting my hair done an enjoyable experience again.
  3. Very talented warm welcome, beautiful Salon, great staff, Loved my Hair , Great prices.
  4. He was really messy with the highlights, leaving huge blond dots all over my head.
  5. And the price is decent for a senior stylist.
  6. have been to the cheapest places in the mall to the most expensive places on Newbury but never found somewhere that I deemed worthy of going back to a second time.

  1. have been looking for a good hairstylist for a long time.
  2. was also impressed with the reasonable pricetag-my hair is pretty long and I am used to paying extra for it (having the option of putting the tip on a credit card is also a big plus).

Boston's (maybe the east coast's) BEST salon!

by Ana K at Citysearch

Amazing! I love this place <3

This salon showed a commitment to excellence in every aspect of my salon experience. Shimon has an artist's eye and an engineer's mind.

Every single client that walked in had the same, stunning, fabulous results. I overheard a team discussion where a stylist sought a second opinion on a color. The stylists discussed and debated the right color, timing, and method, until they came up with an exact plan. There really is that much attention to detail.

I went into the salon a bit nervous, but walked out with the best haircut and highlights I have ever had.

You can completely relax and trust in the results of his amazing team. I give them my highest recommendation!!!

Haircut

by elaph1 at Citysearch

I have moved to boston a couple of months ago and did not really know where to go for a haircut in town. I asked a friend and they recommended shimon salon to me, I called and booked an appointment on the same day with kayla.

I was surprised by the quality of the service, the haircut was one of the best I have had in a while (I was surprised to be honest). Everyone was friendly and kayla is very easy to communicate to. I would recommend her to any of my friends.

Best haircut in Boston

by or1on at Citysearch

I went in with my girlfriend because she wanted to dye her hair, and i thought that maybe while i was there I'd get a cut. They worked me into their full schedule, and I told Kayla to give me whatever she thought would look good.

Kayla knows what's up. Without a doubt the best haircut I've ever had.

Go to Shimon Salon, ask for Kayla.

Do it

Unbelievable hair coloring and foiling!

Contributor at Citysearch

I have been going to this salon for over a year because of the high quality of the work. The owner, Shimon, has done an amazing job of gradually hightlighting my hair. My natural dark brown hair is now a golden blonde that is completely natural looking. Even better,it lasts for over two months because of the careful coloring work. I love this place! Definitely make an appointment if you want quality haircoloring by serious professionals.

Great place, but Dave V is just awesome

by rpmengineering at Citysearch

So as a male business consultant for a big-5 firm in my late 30's, "shaggy" isn't the look I seek. However, Dave V is good enough that I have delayed 6-7 weeks beyond "I need a haircut" time just so that the next time I'm in town (home is 500miles away), he can get the job done. Dave V is awesome! Kind, meticulous, interesting, and collaborative. Tip well and remind old man Shimon to keep him around so that he doesn't leave! -Robert, the guy with the GT-R
