sometimes too many awards =ego

by beatrix

I Soci has won tons of Boston awards and holds a great deal of parties. I went there for years and really liked it but every single time I went it was huge changes. I understand the constant updating of *cool* but it was too much. They also give you the complete "bums rush" the MINUTE your hair is done and i HATE that. They are even frustrated if you have to go to the bathroom!

• Pros: cool ppl
• Cons: egos, constant change

Eyebrows

by girlie girl

Mondi is very sweet and very talented! I live in Nyc but travel back and forth to Boston. I look forward to my visits with Mondi. She waxes my brow first to clean them up and then goes in with tweezers and scissors to fine tune the shape. i always leave looking and feeling beautiful!!

• Pros: Best Eyebrow in Boston

They're artists, really.

by FPlover

I got my hair colored by Daryl and cut by Melissa. Love it more than I've every loved my hair. Not kidding. I'm an artist who appreciates it when others take pride in their craft and do it well. My hair was a mess from a bad dye job I got elsewhere-- I had four different colors going on when I got there and I didn't know if it could be fixed without compromising the look I wanted. Thanks Daryl & Melissa!

• Pros: helpful, friendly and talented colorists and cutters
• Cons: um... no mimosas?

Daryl Drake - An Outstanding Colorist

by EGT02

I called I Soci Salon in a panic after a new hair dresser fried my hair and left me with roots leaving the salon. I did not know what to do to fix my hair, but I knew that something needed to be done fast. A co-worker recommended I Soci and I called and begged for a last minute appointment. Daryl Drake had just returned from the UK and luckily was able to see me that day. Daryl is a life saver. He made me feel like I was in good hands immediately. He listened to my likes and dislikes and worked with me on a plan to bring my hair color back to what I wanted. Daryl is truly the BEST colorist I have ever gone to. He is a real artist and has mastered his craft. I wish that the original disaster had never happened, but feel lucky that it brought me to Daryl. If you are looking for an amazing colorist with a great personality, I recommend calling I Soci Salon and scheduling an appointment with Daryl.

The BEST colorist - Daryl

by bostongirl35

If you are looking for a relaxed, but professional salon on Newbury St., I Soci is the place. Everyone that works there was friendly and nice, not snobby AT ALL. I called in dire need of color and they put me with Daryl. I am EXTREMELY picky about my hair, I hate ashy blond on me and a lot of stylists have a hard time making my hair warm without being too gold or red. Not Daryl, I have never been so happy with my color. He made my mousy brown hair a gorgeous and natural (no stripes, I hate stripes in my hair!) honey blond with lots of sun kissed highlights. And he was sweet as can be too - very down to earth! I'm so happy I found I Soci Salon and DARYL!!!

• Pros: Down to earth staff, nice relaxed atmosphere, talented stylists
• Cons: Parking, hey it's Boston!
