No. Not if you value your hair. I went there because I thought it looked ""hip"" and I wanted something a little edgy. I had previously been going to a Newbury Street salon which was feeling stodgy, boring, and overpriced. I am a professional and I have my hair bleached. Phillipo told me bleach was ""bad for my hair"" and he would do a ""lift"" and my hair would be healthier and stronger. WRONG. When Phillipo finished with my hair, the entire top layer was burned off. It looks like he cut a short layer on top, but it is simply ruined, broken, and burned off. I am not kidding or exaggerating. When he was blow drying it out (after I told him I do not do blow dryers) and started to style it I noticed all the broken short hairs. I said ""wait a minute, what's this? why is it all short on top?"" And he says ""What?"" ""Oh your hair was damaged when you came in here"" At that moment I realized he was a charlatan, lying to my face. I know my own hair. I had not been to the salon for about 3 months, letting my roots grow out, and I was totally aware of the condition of my hair which was not bad. This guy ruined my hair and then tried to blame it on me! That is the sign of an immature and defensive liar. He should have been man enough to admit that he left the ""lift"" on too long, and it burnt my hair and made it break off. He should have offered to not make me pay for it or offered some kind of apology. I was too stunned and shocked to say much. I paid my stupid ridiculously overpriced bill. I will never ever go back, I will never ever recommend the place, and I will write these reviews so that no unwary customer ever gets the same crappy treatment. Oh, and the worst part of the whole horrible day was the fact that he freaked out when I said my former stylist used bleach and he would treat my hair in such a gentle and healthy manner and my hair would be better off. Instead his ""gentle"" treatment actually made me lose a whole layer of hair on top of my head. I will never ever forgive him for this. AND he cut my bangs too short AND CROOKED! Un-f%$#@ believable. Back to Newbury Street. Stay away from this faker.
