I love Mariam!

by Bliggs

Mariam did my eye brown and bikini waxing as well as all my hair cuts for two years while I lived in Boston, and she did an amazing job! She was quick and gentle with the waxing and always gave me exactly what I wanted for my haircuts. I even had my own hair and my bridesmaids' hair done at Salon Monet for my wedding! I have been living in Tennessee for two years now, and I still come back to Salon Monet every few months when I visit Boston, because nobody does a better job than Mariam! And as for the review about them being rude, I have a feeling it was just a language issue, as none of the women at the salon speak English as a first language. They are certainly all VERY nice and helpful people and would never purposefully offend a client!!!

• Pros: Quality, friendly service for a low price
• Cons: None that make a difference

Great salon at a great price

by backbaygirl

I moved to Brookline and decided to try Salon Monet. I was pleasantly surprised! It may not be the Newbury St. experience, but I actually liked my cut better than some Newbury St. places I've been to. Olga is great. She is very friendly and will sit and talk w/ you about what you are looking for, offer suggestions and provide a great cut. The prices can't be beat as well. I thought due to the economy I'd have to give up my regular haircuts, but for $28, I get a better cut than some places I was paying $80 or more, so I can go regularly. The cut lasts a long time too so I don't end up going as often so I save even more in the long run.

• Pros: Price, knowledge, friendliness
• Cons: None

Mariam: Best Stylist in Brookline (Salon Monet 617-566-9096)

I have been going to Mariam for two years now. She is very meticulous - makes sure of what you want and is willing to offer suggestions if you don't know. Mariam is very respectful, friendly and has a nice sense of humor. She is always right on time - doesn't overbook. Although I am just a regular straight man, not even metro, it has been rare that i've actually enjoyed going for a haircut, but with Mariam, I look forward to going.

She offers a full range of services, including coloring and waxing (which I don't use :) ).
