Editorial Review for Daryl Christopher – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Despite its haughty Newbury Street location (above a DKNY showroom, spitting distance from the Ritz-Carlton), this acclaimed spa rates low on the pretentiousness scale by specializing in natural, holistic services. First-timers notice a distinct lack of "old money" in the air due to the absence of well-heeled matronly types, as well as the spa's use of purified ozone to clean the air. Soft colors and tranquil music complete the calming environment.
The Services
This healthy hedonist's playground extends over two floors and offers an endless amount of pricey, trendy services. About 20 facials are offered, and not all pertain to the face (treat Dad to a 50 minute "back facial"). Most notable are the quality and uniqueness of the salon services; specialists are certified in state-of-the-art Bio-Ionic hair-straightening systems, while all-natural products like biodegradable paper (used instead of foil) leave hair healthier.
The Details
Waterfall shower (fee). Massage, body treatments, Reiki, facials, sunless tanning, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, full-service salon, makeup application.

I currently live in boston this summer and was recommended by a friend to get my hair done my Ashley Saltalmacchia at Daryl Christopher... she is young, edgy, and won't let you leave the salon until you truly love your hair. She is passionate at her work and is currently building her clientle. I ended up getting a color and a cut and loving every bit of it! Her cuts are affordable for newbury st in boston. Since i was a student she gives out these 20% off cards for your visit and if you recommend her to a friend! in my opinion she is a great hairdresser but also great to talk to!

I moved to Boston about a year ago and I was soooo nervous to go to someone else for color! I loved my colorist at home. I have brown hair that I color and highlight and I hate red!!! Luckily, I found Kathleen at Daryl Christopher in Boston. I get so many compliments now on how natural my blonde hair and highlights look. It's so shiny too! She does something each time she calls a "color glaze". I thought my color was great before, but my hair is in so much better condition than it used to be and it's so much more natural looking. A little pricey, but I find I can go longer between appointments because the color is done so well so I don't mind. I don't usually write reviews, but I had to tell everyone because I am so happy...
Pros: Open late nights and Kathleen works Sundays in the Waltham location.
Cons: Parking (Newbury Street!)
