The stately entrance to 77 Newbury readies you for a regal experience- a haircut at Bradley and Diegel. Once inside and upstairs, you're comforted by quiet white walls and carefully placed edges - the atmosphere exudes clean warmth. \r
\r
The service is tremendous - and vastly more accomodating than at the other two Newbury Salons I'm able to compare it to: Vidal and James Joseph. \r
\r
But what's most important - the haircut - is what truly makes Bradley and Diegel the only salon I've found over many years in Boston that's truly worthy of the coveted ""Best of Boston"" award. At Bradley and Diegel, hairdressing is an art. The shear becomes paintbrush, your hair - the canvas, and you'd rather watch the artist behind you create your very own living masterpiece than struggle through the same small talk that plagues so many lesser salons. If a salon is a place for you simply to chat - Bradley and Diegel is not for you. \r
\r
However, If you are ready to discard all preconceived notions of what a salon, hairdresser should be/is capable of - then you will have finally found home at Bradley and Diegel. I'm glad my search is through. \r
\r
And for those of you whom only the best will do - I strongly urge you to meet with Dirk Diegel. He is a true artist and virtuoso of his craft. As soon as Dirk's paintbrush touches his canvas you become acutely aware that Dirk Diegel is capable of things that others simply aren't. He is hairdressing's Monet. Words, however, can not do Dirk proper justice - you must experience this many times ""Best of Boston"" winner yourself. \r

Pros: Atmosphere, Expertise, Haircut
