“Her price is great, her style rocks (I couldn't resist buying a similar outfit to hers with the vest and jeans), and she is by far the most relaxed and personable in that place.”
“For the price they charge, their service should be impeccable.”
“So if you want a top haircut for a reasonable price (about $75) and no airs from a stuck-up stylist, then ask for Tristica.”
Vidal Sassoon.
I had an appointment at the Sassoon salon in South Molton St. It was the worst haircut I have ever had. My hair was literally hacked and for the first time in my life I had a fringe, which does not
suit my curly hair. The rest of my hair looks awful too. I didn't ask for any of it. She was a senior stylist and I guess I just trusted her. I am gutted - it will take months to grow out. Management have proved to be arrogant and brush off any criticism. Not a good way to treat customers. There is no feel-good factor in this salon. Snooty staff that would benefit from going back to basic training school and starting from scratch: how to cut hair!

Go to Tristica. I went to another stylist there who was... ok. Then I read a review about Fiona and Trisitica. So I took the first available girl and it was Tristica. I'm obsessed with keeping long hair. She gave me a great style without cutting off too much. It looked professional, it was flattering, and it flowed. It turns out that Fiona was Trisitica's instructor.…
FIONA IS THE BEST. Some people cut hair to make money. Fiona cuts hair because it's her expertise. I've been going to her for over 10 years and had been to the best salons in NYC, Providence and Boston. She is, by far, the best stylist I've ever had. Absolutely worth the money. Many compliments, even after all these years. She's the tops!…
Vidal Sassoon invented the precision cut. And you want one.
First of all, the history of Vidal Sassoon is a blast to read about. He's amazing.
Second, to become a Sassoon stylist, you have to go to a VIdal Sassoon Institute. If you're a wimp, you quit and take an easier road. And you still might be cutting hair on Newbury Street and making $$$$ -- but you know what? Everyone down the street at Vidal Sassoon will be better than you, more dedicated than you, more committed to the craft.
So lovely ladies of Boston , you can go all over Newbury Street -- and I have -- but if you have the money to spend, go for the highest quality, which also happens to mean sweet name recognition.
No snobs, no waste of time, just awesome cuts and color. Free consultation too if you are thinking of something new!
PLUS: they're NOT like so many other Newbury bastards who won't make an appt unless you give them a credit card #. Don't go anywhere that demands this. That's low class.…
