The receptionists seemed new as we had a few challenges trying to schedule our services over the phone. Patricia colored my hair and did an amazing job. I'd highly recommend her. She's been working at the salon for 7 years and is a pro! Bella did the blowout and she too was a pro and has been there for a long time at 5 years. While waiting for the blowout, I had to ask my mother to ask someone for coffee after seeing everyone else in the waiting area drinking some. For whatever reason, I was never offered a beverage when I arrived or while waiting. It's a great salon with experienced professionals. I'd highly recommend the salon and the staff!

For those of you looking for the highlights (I know, I'm clever): Location is awesome, ambiance is…read moremodern and relaxed, haircut by Charlotte was a perfect trim with not too much length taken off but she was able to balance and readjust the weights of my face framing layers so that the hair sits much better, color by Josh was natural, well discussed, and exactly as he described it would be, essentially the perfect sun kissed bayalage. Brittany at the front desk is super personable and patient with my questions. All in all great location, and the amenities are worth the price. Only thing to be wary of is a cash tip policy that catches people off guard and like most high end salons the blow out after the color is going to be an extra ~$50 which sucks but is more of an industry trend than a default of this salon. For those of you looking for the full story: I'm newly able to afford investing in my hair but I've been coloring it off and on since high school. After reading reviews here, I booked a hair cut with Charlotte with the goal of getting an idea of how the salon as a whole worked and what I would get if I got my hair colored here. Instead, I was distracted by how awesome Charlotte is. She did not even for a second make me feel unwelcome or like an outsider for being used to a more budget friendly salon. I got to tell her in my extremely nontechnical language what the last stylist did in my hair, and she was able to talk me through what she was planning to do without me feeling lost in the jargain. Conversation was easy, and overall the haircut was great. I booked an appointment shortly after for the color with Josh. I'm someone who gives my stylist a lot of liberty to do what they want in my hair, so if you're wondering if he takes direction well, I told him I wanted blonder, natural, and I wasn't a fan of bayalage that goes half way up the hair. I got all of those things. So if you specify tone, thickness of highlight, where you want the highlights, I can't tell you how that goes first hand. I'm sure great though, I saw someone across the way asking him to write down what he did with it and make a few edits and he did that easily. He was just as a sweet as Charlotte, and made me feel like I fit in to the crowd. All in all, great investment and I've genuinely been so happy with the results. I've never received this many complements on a cut and color in my life. As a small aside, I keep mentioning that people made me "feel at home" and I feel like I should explain that for other people who may be nervous about an upscale salon. The first cut with Charlotte was in the middle of the week after work and the salon was very empty, so it wasn't hard to relax once her and I had chemistry going over the cut. The color with Josh was on the weekend, and the salon was packed. I'm not going to lie, the environment felt very socialite-like, and not in a way that was inherently exclusive, just in a way that I didn't know how to act around. I feel like everyone in the salon probably has this anxiety, but the stylists do a great job of making it clear that you're in your own little bubble with them and that was enough to make the rest of it feel a little removed from my hair care.

The place is always clean, well maintained, it helps that it's in a nice location, but, it isn't so much my criteria in rating them 5 star. Of course, they are many good salons in Boston. This one checks all the boxes in primary requirements for a salon. It's not about fads and buzz words in their service. It's the depth of understanding of hair and people. For about 10 years and couple different salons (each were good, just did not give me creative options). They had cookie cutter suggestions which gave me a good hair cut, but it was standard - plain jane type. At Bradley and Diegel, my stylist Maite, has given me 2 distinctly different and new looks in two years. Greg at the reception, took time to understand my needs and recommend the right stylist to me. Each time is a great experience. They never push products on you.

He truly listened to my concerns and treated my hair with so much care and professionalism. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented, genuinely cares about their clients, and delivers outstanding results, Nader is the one. I recommend him 100% and will definitely be coming back! Best, Kelly

At my last routine appointment, I attempted to politely raise concerns on the way my hair was being done, to which Alex abruptly raised their voice at me. I was shut down entirely, and ended up receiving neither the service I paid for, nor wanted. Alex refused to address the results, and rushed me out of the salon as soon as my payment went through. Upon reaching out to talk through what had happened, I was first left on 'read'. When prompted again a few days later, I was sent a critical message that does not align with the reality of our prior, entirely pleasant appointments. While they acknowledged and apologized for their behavior, I was declined further contact, let alone any correction of the service despite the advertised offer on their website. I am left bewildered as to what happened here, and would unfortunately have to recommend avoiding this studio.

Well doesn't it suck to be thousands of miles away from home when this happens? I can tell you it really does. And as well meaning as everyone you know and their lending of their best people as referrals is, most of which are magically too busy, it's no relief. Worse yet is the countless calls, requests, and pestering you do via Yelp. Google is no different. Somehow I kept missing Ben then I saw him and called. When I talk about that OMG I HAVE AN ANGEL moment, I think Ben. From the moment we spoke, he had me send in photos, he looked at them, called and said, "Yeah I can fix this". Within hours he rearranged his schedule and my confidence, my self-esteem, my pride, my enjoyment was back. I know in the light of what's going on in the world this seems like a vane review, but if you've walked in my shoes you know this was as real as any other awful life experience. Thank you Ben!!! You are the best!!!!
