Best of Boston

We all know that Newbury Street excels in the microcosmic world of individual stylists with cult followings and sought-after colorists with organized fan clubs—but that’s why this no-nonsense salon wins for overall best. If you’re in from out of town and need to clean up your bangs, or you live across the street and just need the perfect blunt cut, Francisco, Jimmy, Robert, and Tennessee—to name only a few—are all equally adept. Sure, people develop personal attachments, but it’s reassuring to know that everyone in the shop has been rigorously trained and can take of you with professional skill.
