Julie Dion is a true magician when it comes to both color and cut. This is hands down the best haircut I've ever had--different from what I've worn before in the best possible way. It looks equally beautiful whether I wear it curly or straight, which is rare and speaks to her precision and vision. The color is fantastic. I wanted something that would seamlessly blend my greys as they grow in, and she executed it flawlessly. The result is natural, dimensional, and incredibly flattering. Julie clearly takes her craft seriously. Her technical skill, attention to detail, and artistic eye are exceptional. If you want someone whose expertise you can fully trust, she is it. read more

I've been going here for about two years with fantastic cuts, styling (with Tiffany) and color (with Ashley). Highly recommend!

I had my hair cut done by BILLIE DENISCO and hair color by RENEE C. Hands down the best place I have treated my hair to. They were extremely professional and provided the best value. Highly recommend this place for hair cut and hair color service. read more

Julie was beyond amazing She squeezed me as I was having a down day and made sure I walked out of there feeling like a million dollars She is heaven sent read more

I didn't know how badly my curly hair was being cut previously until Samantha Drake cut it. She is a genius with curly hair! I went from triangle hair to perfect layers for my waves. I didn't know my hair could look this good! Samantha is Deva Curl trained and it is obvious in terms of how precisely and carefully she cuts curly hair. Also, the scalp massage that you get during the shampooing is awesome! Prices are a bit steep, but par for the course in the Boston area. I am a loyal customer. read more

I have returned to the salon again and again. They really help me understand what kind of style looks good on my kind of hair, particularly as I have grown into my thinner, gra hair. Lena and Julie are so incredibly well trained And it shows in how they run their salon and how bonded their staff is as a family. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. I can't wait to go back for my next haircut! read more

Billie saved me and corrected an awful haircut I had at a very expensive curly girl salon. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. I am forever grateful and am never going anywhere else!! read more

By far the best place I've ever had a haircut. Everyone was awesome, listened, helped save my hair from a previously awful cut, and were generally amazing. read more

After three bad haircuts elsewhere...the stars aligned and I found Julie and Vinndio Salon. I now have fashion and beauty harmony

I was in town for the holidays and booked a last minute appointment with Billie. Billie was absolutely awesome and helped me get my hair looking from "meh" to awesome. It felt really easy to talk to Billie and explain what I wanted and my haircut turned out great! Love that they use R + Co hair products. Thanks!! read more

Get ready to be greeted with warmth and to find a connection with your stylist. Lena is the best! Did observe other 2 stylist too taking time to get to know what exactly their clients wanted and needed. It's amazing that they are located at a convenient spot in Jamaica Plain, close to the T and parking available. read more

Love each of my haircuts and stylings with Lena. She is a Sassoon trained stylist who just gets it right each and every cut and helps me to understand what I can do to make my hair come "close" to the way I leave Vinndio. Each of the stylists create beautiful hair in every length, color and shape, but I am faithful to Lena whom I followed to JP from Boylston St. The shop is cool and quirky and the vibe says, "come here, stay awhile and relax"! If you haven't already discovered Lena, Julie, Jenn and Samantha, you owe it to your hair to do so! read more

Extremely happy with my haircut! Fantastic place to get a professional haircut from a creative and well-trained staff. Lena worked wonders, giving me a work-safe but fun and playful haircut, and she and the whole staff made me feel extremely comfortable as a nervous first-timer coming from another stylist. Also, really short walk from Stony Brook T station, and right across the street from the Brewery shops and Sam Adams. read more

Sadly I got a mediocre haircut that was not what I wanted at an exorbitant price. First and last visit.

I'm so happy I found this salon! I've had my hair cut twice there, and Julie has been fantastic both times. She sits and listens to you, and has an actual conversation about what would look best on you and make you happy. She takes a ton of care in cutting/shaping your hair, and I've been happy with the end result both times. Definitely coming back! Also, because of The Times We're In, I should say that they have covid protocols in place and I've felt comfortable and safe. read more

Sam rocks. Talented hairdresser and fun to chat with while in the chair.

After 5.5 hours, I walked away with a horrible hair color, texture & cut. It has been over a month since I got my hair color & cut by Julie and I have not been able to put my hair down once, that's how bad it looks. My family members and myself have used Lena's (the other owner) service before and we love it. I had a trim done by Julie before and it was not a bad cut. Hence, when I couldn't book an appointment with Lena, I thought Julie would do a good job too. Big mistake. First, the lack of professionalism in handling her client's appointments is mind-blowing. During my first appointment with Julie she kept interrupting my haircut and going back to another client's hair trying to fix the color that she messed-up for her. I thought this is a fluke and accidents happen. But the same thing happened this time. She actually cut and colored the hair of two other clients while I was sitting in her chair hence, the 5.5-hour appointment. I specifically told Julie that I stopped bleaching my hair five years ago because, although I liked the color, I didn't like the texture of my hair after bleaching. I specified that I would like her to get my hair to the lightest shade possible without bleach. My previous hair-stylist, which I used for a number of years, was able to get the right shade with one treatment only. Julie proceeded to indicate that I would need multiple treatments to get such results. She spoke with such confidence that I thought I'll give her the chance to try. She used three treatments on my hair. My hair is so beaten up, cracked and dry that I might as well have bleached it. At least, with bleach I will have dry hair but with better color. Now, I just have a bleached dry texture but with a horrible color. I usually alternate between Aloe Vera and coconut oil in weekly treatments to maintain my hair's texture and shine. I did not use them daily because they usually over-softened my hair. Since the hair cut, I have been using both on daily bases for over a month now and my hair is still so dry and shedding like crazy in the shower. I usually don't write reviews but after struggling with my hair for over a month, I felt strongly enough to write this extensive review. Again, this is not a review on the other stylist in the salon. I have used Lena and I like her work and her work ethics. I have not used any of the other stylists, so I cannot speak for the quality of their work. This is a specific review about Julie and the quality of her work and her general lack of professionalism in handling her clients. read more

Amazing experience and they were open on a Sunday, which is huge! Renee was awesome! She had great recommendations and did a fantastic job with my highlights! Will definitely be coming here again! read more

Remy cut my hair today and it was great. The atmosphere of the salon is super cool and it was really good deal for a hair cut. Remy even fully curled my hair because i said i was going out later and didn't charge me extra which is saying a lot because i have A TON of hair! I like having short hair but every time I've gotten it cut other places they give me a full bob and i look like a soccer mom and i hate it but Remy fully listened to me and squared off my short hair at the perfect length. Also he's super fun to talk to! Will definitely be going back soon :) read more

Recently went there for the first time and Sam was amazing. Went to get highlights and she took the time to really understand the look I was going for and convinced me to try a toner instead. Looks great and cost way less. I really appreciate the time she spent, everyone at the salon was really nice, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing experience start to finish. Everyone was so kind from the moment I walked in! Julie gave me the best haircut I've ever had. She listened to what I wanted but also gave advice and it turned out perfectly, I absolutely love it. She's kind, genuine and obviously incredible at what she does! The whole place has a great vibe. 10/10!!! read more

Samantha of Adore Styling, who is a stylist at Vinndio, did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! She was cordial and sweet about meeting me at my home in Rozzie for trials and was extremely easy to work with. I got tons of compliments on how natural my makeup looked and that the hairstyle was absolutely gorgeous. I have never had my hair and makeup professionally done for an event before and I could not have asked for a better stylist than Samantha. Particularly with her makeup, she was extremely clean and tidy. There was no worry about cross contamination with another client. I have acne and my skin reacted extremely well to the airbrush makeup - actually looking clearer the next day! She even was a sweetheart to our dog. I recommend her highly! read more

I broke up with my old salon after my stylist left to pursue another career and was looking for a GOOD salon closer to home here in JP. I had a few criteria for a salon and stylist: 1) local, 2) awesome stylists who listen and advise accordingly, and 3) color experts. Vinndio has met and exceeded these expectations, Tiffany is an absolute star! she's easy to talk to, has an artist's eye and as a fellow ginger, she was very thoughtful with me about my color needs, even collaborating with a colleague to ensure my comfort and satisfaction, and ultimately gave me a long overdue, beautiful color and cut! No need to look further, I've found my salon and stylist! read more

I have been going to Lena for cuts for years and I always love what she does for me. She's creative and talks you through what she's thinking before she starts, so you can help direct or just let her take the reigns while she informs you of what you're heading into. I've trusted her when I cut off my long hair to donate and went into a pixie cut inspired by a picture of my mother after she passed (so it was very emotional and risky!) and everything in between. I've moved to the mid-west and have held off on my hair cuts when I know I'm visiting Boston, so I can see her. She can make cuts as conservative or edgy as you want, with styles that will look good when you leave and as it grows out, so you return when you feel its time/longer than you want, but not because it looks bad. read more

Vinndio is a new neighborhood Salon located in Jamaica Plain. I have followed Lena Vinnitsky to her new Salon Vinndio. I've been a client of Lena for several years and I'm so excited to visit her new place. The best haircuts ever - truly the most exquisite haircuts I've every experienced!! read more

Great experience! Sam is a true professional! She sat with me with a swatch book of colors. I showed her some pics on Pintrest, and knowing what I was looking for and looking at my coloring she produce a picture of what she thought might work. This was great for it gave me confidence that we were on the same page! Nice cozy salon with wonderful products, comfortable wash sinks, and tea and coffee offerings! Great salon! Damn! Wish i didn't feel obligated to give the secret away! read more

Omg god, I honestly can say this is the best haircut I've ever had! Mind you I may not have a a lot of hair to work with so I'm usually not blown away with a typical cut. But Julie is the best!!!! Her style and the way she explained how I should have my hair cut was awesome! If your like this king for great cut by a great person Julie is your person! I'll be back for sure!!!!!!! read more

Vinndio is a fantastic hair salon. Julie is my stylist; I have been very happy with all the haircuts I had in this salon. She is talented, passionate and pays attention to details. read more

I was asked through a Facebook Marketplace ad while in town to sit as a model for one of their assistants in training, I cannot remember her name but she was tall with naturally reddish-curly hair. I had long hair that I was looking to keep and when I explained I wanted it simply cleaned up to her, she and I seemed to be on the same page, however because she is an assistant, she had an instructor who was teaching her how to do what I wanted, and so I reexplained what I wanted to her instructor. Almost immediately, the instructor took a section of my hair to demonstrate and took 1-2 inches more off of my length than what I had asked for. I do not blame the girl I answered the ad for, she sincerely seemed to understand what I wanted, and it seemed as though the instructor thought she knew how to explain better than what I wanted and the poor girl couldn't say no once her instructor had already taken the inches off. The girl did a good job considering it was too short for my liking. Clean and friendly place, but make sure you really make them know what you want before they start cutting! read more

I've had my hair cut by three of the four stylists at this salon (Julie, Lena, and Sam), and they're each outstanding - extremely skilled, and just all-around lovely people. If you're looking for a Sassoon precision cut, and don't like the vibe (or price-point) in the Newbury St. Sassoon salon, I recommend this place and these three stylists, as they're all Sassoon-trained. But even if you don't want a precision cut, go - they can do any type of cut, and very well! The salon is really zen, with an awesome selection of teas and really great music. Nothing loud and blaring here - creativity-inducing electronic, and music like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Sam did my most recent cut, and I'm very, very happy with it. I got a lot of compliments from friends and colleagues, but the most important thing, to me, is that *I* love it! If the stylists weren't so great, though, I might be giving this salon a three-star review, and here's why. On my first visit to Vinndio, I waited 45 minutes past my appointment time. To me, a 45-minute wait for service is acceptable in one place only: the emergency room of a hospital. Please, stylists: Out of respect for the on-time clients who follow, reschedule late clients!! As a result of this wait, I was stuck in early rush-hour, ridiculous Storrow Drive traffic on the way home, making the travel time so long and aggravating I strongly considered not going back to Vinndio. But, because of the quality of the stylists, I ultimately decided to give it another chance. I'm glad I did, and this time I was seen not only on time, but even a few minutes early! read more

Just had my first haircut with Julie. She did a fantastic job!!! I appreciate the time she spent getting to know my hair and listening to what I had to say. She also gave me some great tips on better ways to blow-dry my hair. So glad this place has come to JP! read more

I recently moved to JP from New york, and was looking for a place to get a haircut. I'm a man who prefers a salon & doesn't do well with the "buzz it" philosophy of a barbershop. My haircut was from Leanne and was top-notch. Everyone here was nice & it had a great, welcoming vibe. Thank you! read more

Love, love, love!!! SO much LOVE for Vinndio!!! Lena is the absolute BEST in the business!! The location is so convenient- right off of he T... and the space is divine!!! Modern, chic and comfortable! Bonus points for the amazing tea selection too! read more

Samantha Drake is amazing! She's cut my hair for the last several years. I have a very short pixie cut, which I feel like is not an easy cut, but I trust Sam completely--she always does a great job! read more

I had the greatest haircut today by Remy. Lovely lovely shampoo massage too! He's super friendly, and really payed attention to exactly what I wanted- and delivered! I've seen a few stylists there, and they are all wonderful. Great, clean environment too! read more

I was so excited to find a place close to home that had a stylist who knew how to cut short hair! I am older, and don't want a punk look but needed a nice style. My former stylist at another salon just couldn't ever seem to get it right and I finally got fed up. Here, Remy greeted me and knew exactly what I was talking about right away. The attention he gave my hair was unmatched, and I will definitely be back. A nice hidden gem, quiet yet professional! read more

Followed Lena here when she left Vidal Sassoon. I am very picky about haircuts, and she is an excellent stylist , including a 2-year transition from a short pixie to below-shoulder long hair. She is now also doing color. I am equally picky about color and have been very pleased with this as well. read more

Julie has been cutting and coloring my hair for many years now and to be honest I would follow her to the moon!! She is truly one of the best stylist ever. I have short hair and she always takes great care to make sure that everything is just perfect. The space itself is very modern, chic and comfortable. I am so excited for Julie and Lena in their new salon!!!! read more
