Muse is tucked away in the Southeast corner of the 200 East Palmetto Park condominium, entrance from the street. Like almost everyone I know, you go to a salon because of a particular stylist or colorist who happens to work there. And I'm no different. I've been using the same stylist for more than 10 years, and in another life, before most of my Yelp friends were born, this guy was my stylist, in Great Neck, NY (for those who are curious), in the 70's and 80's [yeah, I'm old] His name is ALBERTO, and he is a seasoned professional. I always kid him cause he has no gray hair, although he is close to my age,, and I have almost all grey, with some white hair. ALBERTO is a pro, and actually starts every styling/cutting experience with a query "Is there anything I need to know about your hair, any problems or issues?", and I always answer "You've been cutting/styling my hair for more than 10 years, don't you know enough about it already, and can't you simply look at it and determine what needs to be done?" Of course, he then responds "Oh, you're in a bad mood today", and I say "no, I'm not, but that question doesn't really apply to me". I do understand why he asks it, I just like giving him a hard time! Most women, the majority of his clients are women, may have specific concerns which they want to bring to his attention, and he needs to know about them before he starts to perform his magic on their hair, creating their eventual "look". This is a long way of stating "He is a professional, cares about your look, and asks for input every time before he starts cutting away". Check him out... The salon is not huge, it is clean, well lit, nicely furnished, and relatively quiet. The music playing is good, streaming from somewhere, not a radio station with commercials, like some salons use. The clientele is diverse as to their age, and tends to be younger, rather than older. Valet Parking (free, other than a tip) is available from the condo building, access it from Palmetto Park Road, or Mizner Blvd. I cannot speak about their makeup, or hair extensions, as I have not have either done, and do not plan on it. I used to have lo-lights done by ALBERTO and he was quite good at it, but I'm all natural now. read more

Joseph is a master. I went in for a big change from long to a short bob. I had a picture and he created it to perfection. He also have me all the tips to make it low maintenance. I could not be happier. I also love the new space! read more

Sadly - what seemed like a decent experience turned out to be a terrible. I had gotten my hair cut really short and wanted hair extensions to hold me over until it grew. Using google - I found Muse a hair salon. I went in that day for a consultation with Kimberly. She was really thorough and explained everything. I decided on tape ins but since it was really expensive - about $800 for 2 packs - I wanted to think about it. I left and called back later and asked to do just one pack. It ended up around $500 with the price they charge for wash and blow, plus the extensions. I was initially happy. I was told to come back in 8 weeks and it would be $150 to remove them and $150 to tape them back in. Plus extra for color, cut, blow. Sounded a bit expensive but it was a short term thing. Well about a week later - you could start to see the extension tape popping out of my head. It was at a concert. My husband saw it. I was mortified. To spend all that money to have the tap visible. I was super self conscious all night. I called the next day. They were nice about it and had me come in to have them fixed. This time someone else fixed them - Israel. My only issue here is he didn't wash my hair prior or dry it. And it was dirty. That's not good for taping in fresh extensions one because you can't wash your hair for a day and two - they can slide on the oily hair. It took no time at all and I'm sure he wasn't happy he had to do this for free. I did tip him anyway. The salon didn't refund any money for the mess up. I felt they should have. I will say Israel placed the extensions so much better. I had no issues with them for 8 weeks. He did a really good job. That's why I have 2 Stars instead of one. Israel wanted me to come back for cut, highlights and to maintain the extensions to the tune of around $600 all in. I told him my hair was fragile - that's why I cut it and was worried about bleach but he said it would be fine. While he was working - the girl from the Medi spa came to talk to me and push something like cool sculpting to remove fat. Okay - probably don't push cosmetic stuff on hair salon clients. That's rude. Also I was interested in getting a couture halo (head piece to wear for nights out) and it was $650 at Muse. I called another salon down the road (Sima) and it was $350! Wholesale is $200. So you can see the huge mark up. I found a new stylist elsewhere to maintain my extensions. And for half the price. My new stylist told me not to highlight because my hair was too fragile. She actually cared about the health of my hair. (Lizett Allen). Overall it was a terrible experience and very expensive. If money is no object - I still wouldn't go because they didn't really handle this right. They tried to reduce the price of my next tape in by $150 but it was still going to be $600 plus tip instead of $750. It just wasn't good enough. Even if I could afford that - my first experience with malfunctioning tape ins was enough to never come back. read more

Very kind staff, asked if I was comfortable and greeted upon entering. Did a great job on a single color, cut and blow dry. Very quick and efficient. Hair feels extra smooth, products were good too. It's been 1 hour outside since I've left and no frizz has haunted my hair. read more

This salon is such a gem! And Claudia is such an incredible stylist and colorist--a superb professional who knows her clients needs and delivers beyond expectations. I was so impressed with her dedication and skills- I've been looking for 3 years in Boca for the right person; and I'm delighted to say that I've found her! And everyone in the salon is very welcoming, helpful (especially with the directions). Even the free valet parking was the best!! Such a great experience! read more

Experienced owner and hair stylist. Friendly staff. Small environment. Clean salon. Wine!

I went to see Joseph after many years of not being in salon today. I was fired from my hairdresser of 7 years this morning..he wasn't going to do my hair anymore. So Joseph to my rescue! They removed all the crap color that took about 25 minutes and I am back to normal. My hair looks healthy and he was so happy to see me. I am so excited to have someone happy to welcome me back and willing to help me and not fire me! Wow who does that? Life goes on and I guess it's meant to be! Thank you Joseph and your amazing staff! Looking forward to seeing you in June! Mickie read more

I have been getting my hair done by Christan for almost a year and she does a great job. I'm a natural brunette but always get balayage. She always gets the color and cut just right. I have a lot of hair and always appreciate the patience and attention to detail. I definitely recommend going to her for blonde/balayage! read more

Muse A Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

My 9 year old daughter has been to this salon about 3 times to have her hair done. It's been approximately 2 years since she's been here but I needed to have her hair done as soon as possible as her stylist is out of the country. I called the salon and asked for tbe stylist who did her hair previously but she's no longer there. The receptionist Sasha offered the owner to do my daughters hair and I accepted. I SPECIFICALLY asked if he was familiar with ethnic hair that's very curly. She assured me that he was and she reiterated he was the owner, has been in tbe business for a long time, and he's worked on all types of hair. Well, we arrive at tbe salon and immediately we are turned down for service. I spoke to the owner who had no shame in telling me he doesn't do our kind of hAir. Yes, we are people with melanin. My daughter was embarrassed and her feelings were very hurt. I would never recommend this salon to anyone who believes in putting people first, and customer service. This man was not up to learning and expanding his knowledge base when it comes to working with all kinds of hair. He was okay with outright turning us down without even an attempt to grow and develop. He was okay with hurting my daughters feelings and that my friend is not okay. I'm confident you will not be in business much longer. Hence your relocation to a hidden location in almost Deerfield Beach because downtown Boca got to be too much for you. You should be embarrassed!! read more

This was my first time at Muse and Joseph did an amazing haircut. It's so hard to find someone with the knowledge and experience to understand both what the client wants and what the hair can actually do. Joseph is a true professional. This cut is exactly what I wanted and easy to style. The photo is from this morning, a week after my haircut. read more

Muse A Hair Salon was a wonderful experience. I had my hair cut very short for the first time in a very long time. Stacy did a fabulous job. She gave me an awesome edgy cut and took her time to recommend the products to use and showed me how to style my hair. I definately recommend Muse and especially Stacy! Thank you read more

They are ok but not the best. I feel like some of the people there are either intoxicated or just plain kooky. It's a funny thing to try to explain unless you experience it.. I went there a while ago and from the moment I walked in I felt a strange energy. Everyone was super uptight and almost acted as if they doing me a favor. Like, hello, aren't I paying you lots of money? Have you ever heard about customer service. Anyways the hairstylist that was coloring my hair smelt like cigarettes and alcohol and I could hear them chit chattering when he walked away. Such an unfriendly and catty salon... I saw a few other reviews that had a similar complaint. I'm from NY and needed a quick fix. I will never come back here when I return to Florida! read more

Very happy with my short haircut by Joseph and highlights by Holly! I'm a challenge - fine, thinning hair. Joseph took time and was precise. He's been cutting hair for 40 years and it's evident that he knows what he is doing. I wanted caramel highlights - Holly delivered perfection. The salon is immaculate, everyone is personable, down to Cesar, the parking valet. Valet parking is in the building and complimentary. I highly recommend! read more

Steer clear of this place. Botched extension job and crooked cut. Extensions fell out of my hair the 2nd day before I even washed it or went in the ocean (Pamela's response below blaming the ocean is completely false! My hair fell out while it was still completely dry.) The owner, Joe, refused to call me back and wrote me a note saying the extensions must have been faulty and he stands by his stylists even though my hair was falling out. You would hope they would make it right and give me a refund. But since they stand by unsatisfactory outcomes (see photos), I need to warn others. read more

This salon is an oasis in the desert that are salons. From the time you walk in, until you leave, you will encounter some of the nicest and most qualified people at any salon I've ever been to. They can really do anything from color to extensions to cuts. I've been going here for years and this review is tardy, but felt necessary because of an amazing stylist and great human, Julia. Her skills are second to none, I could not recommend a stylist more highly. This woman can do anything! If you're looking for a fantastic salon with an unpretentious vibe and exceptional stylists like Julia this ones for you! read more

I recently had my hair done here by Israel. My hair has never looked so healthy and shiny. He did an exceptional job. The staff from the receptionist to the stylists to the assistants are professional, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. I truly enjoyed my experience here and will definitely coming back. I highly recommend Muse Hair Salon. read more

Sara colored my hair and it looks out of this world. The most perfect chocolate brown (highlights on the ends in a few weeks). She told me her vision and then executed it beautifully. I left feeling like a million bucks and can't wait to go back to finish the look. Hands down best salon experience and the MOST professional staff. Perfect experience! read more

Holly is an absolute artist and a wonderful person. If you want the most beautiful color you need to go to holly.

Muse Hair Salon and Joseph is and always will be part of our family. Joseph has been cutting and coloring my hair for almost 25 years. Our entire family has their hair cut by Joseph (owner) even though we moved to Orlando 2 years ago. My daughter who is 27 will not let anyone else cut her hair because of some bad cuts and hairdressers that do not listen or don't know how to cut her hair. I cannot say enough about Joseph and Muse family friendly salon that uses only the top products for hair color. When you age good color and keeping healthy hair when coloring is a MUST!!! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Muse has been my go-to salon since I first wrote this review (Feb 2013) and I wouldn't change a thing! Muse has expanded to include make-up services & eyebrow threading, all done by the creator of the "Halo" makeup line, Israel Edri. Let me tell you, I've never had threading done before and I am SO happy that Israel was the first person to do it! He has literally designed my eyebrows, created a gorgeous arch, and that in turn, opened up my eyes. My stylist, Holly, is the only person I trust with my hair. I'm consistently happy with Muse, their services, and their staff. Oh, and valet parking is free when you visit Muse - what a treat! read more

Thank you, Bianca for saving my hair!!! After I came in from going to Paul James Salon in West Palm, she fixed the terrible highlighting job that he did. Also, I have to give a shout out to Israel for always doing such a great job on my eyebrows...you are the best! And thank you for recommending Bianca for fixing my color that day, as I was so upset at how my hair looked from going to Paul James! I now drive almost an hour to get my eyebrows and hair done at this salon, and well worth it! read more

Quality & knowledge of hair is so high. The only place I will go from now on for any hair service!

I can promise you the best hair color or cut of your life can be done here, by Sarah. The desk and assistants are friendly and attentive, the salon is clean and fresh. Don't expect your hair to ever look better once you've gone here you can't go anywhere else!!! read more

Muse A Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Typical of so many salons...they spend extra time on a new customer. They make sure everything is to the customer's wishes. Everything looks great. Then, when they think they have a regular customer, they do whatever they please. Uneven, no layers, hair falls flat on top because it wasn't touched. The operator said it was because my perm had grown out but I had rods put in, just on top about a month ago. I am sorry about this because now I have to find someone who will try to make a good impression on me with their skills and not tell me to be quiet when I tell them the way I want my hair. read more

THIS IS A GREAT SALON! Joseph is a fabulous hair dresser and I give him and the Salon an A++. I moved here from Manhattan 2 years ago, and continued to have my hair styled there, because I did not trust the salons here to do a god job on my thick, coarse, frizz prone hair. When Muse moved across the street I decided to give them a try and I am very, very glad I did. The haircut that Joseph gave me has allowed me to give up Keratin and retain my curl but tame it. It is July in Florida and I am happy without Keratin- something of a miracle for my hair. The color he gave me is also amazing and my blowout lasted through a 4 day weekend in San Francisco (another first). The highest accolade I can give him is that my hyper critical mother even complemented my hair when she saw it. (yet another first). I don't normally take the time out to review a place but I think Muse (and Joseph) deserve it and I only wish I had found them sooner. From the front desk to the guy who washes my hair I could not be happier. This is a class act. read more

The salon is so professional and exactly what you would expect from a hair salon in Boca. I use Holly for my cuts and color. She is amazing and extremely talented. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed. read more

I'm not sure who Holly's "muse" is but she is certainly an inspired stylist! I've been going to her for years and she has never let me down. While I am more "tame" when it comes to hair styles, I have observed her transform more than one customer with her amazing work, be it with color, cut or extensions. And on top of benefiting from Holly's wizardry, Muse is just a beautiful salon with highly-skilled professionals and outstanding service. Check them out...you'll be glad you did! read more

I was visiting Florida from Texas and decided I needed a haircut. Not only did they take me in so quickly as a walk-in, but they're were all extremely friendly. Alberto cut my hair gorgeously. I decided to let him take over my whole cut and try something new, and I love it! He was truly so kind, funny, and professional. He took his time and we had such amazing conversation! Get your hair done here! You will not regret it! read more

Two friends recommended Muse to me, that's when I knew it would be good. Joseph cut my hair exactly like the picture I showed him and matched the hair color perfectly. Since I was transitioning from reddish-brown to dark brown he recommended a gloss treatment. My hair looks and feels wonderful. I will be back to Muse to see Joseph, he's great! read more

Holly is so awesome! She styles both my hair and my sons. We both always receive compliments on how well we look. Highly recommend Holly. read more

Just returned from my first time visit to Muse after a year of letting damaged hair grow out. Robert knew exactly how to cut and style my hair and did a better job than the last eight stylists I've been to. The staff is very accommodating and the salon is spotless. I definitely will continue to have Robert style and color my hair. Fantastic salon! read more

Disappointed unfriendly salon, starting with the receptionist unwelcoming . While getting my my colored I could hear the other stylists talking about their customers. It was a turn off never back there again. read more

Holly is the BEST hair stylist. I grew up with family that does hair, I'm super picky and Holly met all my needs. Not only is she so sweet, she listens to me and makes me feel beautiful.

I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I am forever grateful I found her! read more

Rachel was amazing! She was supportive of my choices (which were kinda crazy because I had some dreadlocks cut off on the underside) and asked me all the questions I didn't think of to make my hair cut perfect! I was a little nervous going in because I was making big changes, but she quickly put me at ease and became just as excited about it as I was. Andrea washed my hair and it was also to die for! I couldn't be happier! I've found a new home salon! read more

I have been going to Muse for 3 years and I can't say enough fantastic things about Holly. My hair has never looked better! Would recommend her in a second! read more

Staff was very friendly and they were able to offer same day service. Valet parking sounds nice but caused me to be late for my apt as I had to wait ten minutes for someone to meet me. Inside was nothing special but staff was very welcoming and kind. I had highlights and left with wet hair (my choice, I was in a big hurry to pick up my child) and no cut or trim. Cost was 175$ before tip, 205$ with tip. I found it quite pricey for what it was. read more
