I went from pretty long hair to VERY short hair in a matter of minutes. It is hard to walk in a trust a total stranger to make that happen for you.

Thank you to Caitlin!

In the past, whenever I asked for trims at other salons, my hair would be cut way too short and not suitable for my waves/curls. This was my first time getting a trim I actually love because of Cory! He explained how to better care for my waves/curls, and my hair is the waviest I've ever seen after my appointment with him. Looking forward to coming back in the future. Thanks, Cory!!!!

Mop is in a new location!!! Make sure you're looking at the newest reviews as there have been…read moreseveral big changes since Nicole and the Mop team moved from Tremont in the South End to Dedham. The drive is not the best from Boston, but the parking is so convenient and you're still seeing Nicole, the best in the business. If you're coming from the city, avoid rush hour and take advantage of the Saturday hours. The website has a convenient online scheduling system and you can email the salon to get on the waitlist. My other reviews about Nicole's talent and awesome personality hold up- she's so good at curly haircuts. Price is well worth the service! The new location is in a kind of a market of stylists and the niche room for Mop recreates the South End vibe quite well. Nicole has her drinks fridge, magazines and photo books, super fancy dryer, and excellent products, so nothing has changed. There is a kind of overall waiting area at the salon building with 2 chairs, but Nicole is punctual, so you won't be waiting there long. There are also general use bathrooms for the salon building that are nothing to write home about and not something Nicole can really influence anyway. I'm sensitive to smell/aerosol products and because it is a building of salon rooms, it is INTENSE in the hall/general waiting area. I wore a mask, which helped a lot, so if you have asthma or bad allergies I recommend bringing one along just in case. Of course, Nicole has some on hand because she remains awesome about COVID precautions and generally creating a safe and welcoming space. You're not going to wait in the hall long, but good to know just in case.

I always book a 90-minute combo massage with the CBD add-on for my joints, and let me tell you, it's pure perfection. Kelly Shannon is my go-to masseuse, and she is nothing short of amazing. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she is also one of the kindest people I've ever met. She's been my only masseuse for a reason; her gentle yet firm touch and genuine care for my overall well-being make every visit special. She's become like family to me, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. If you're looking for a top-tier massage experience, book with Kelly and tell her Shaleah sent you and you won't be disappointed! My only reason for giving four stars instead of five is that they were out of slippers in my size last time. Stock up those closets, Keldara! Other than that, this place is simply the best, and I'll keep coming back again and again.

If I could give no stars, I would!! Here goes the story of my first and last visit here:…read more I came in with an allover brown color and showed Armando a picture of myself from about a year prior, with ombré hair. I asked Armando if he thought he could achieve the look and he said yes, but that I would need to sign a waiver in case my hair burned off since we were going lighter. That was a red flag - never been asked to do that before! Why didn't I leave then?? Ugh hindsight is 20/20. Anyway I sign the handscribbled letter his receptionist provides and he gets started on my hair. Only he is not using foils, brushes, a cap, etc.; no, he has separated my hair into 3 sections (left, right, back) and is SCOOPING bleach from the container into his hands and rubbing it through the first section of my hair from about my ear down to the ends. Omg why did I not run to the sink and get the hell outta there!! I check with him to make sure this is the best way to achieve the look and he tells me not to worry!! He wraps each of the 3 sections in foil, round and round and round and sticks me under a hair dryer. I am under there no less than an hour and a half. I check one of my hair sections and it is ORANGE. I tell Armando it's not lifting past orange and he slops more bleach on each section, rewraps foils horizontally, tells me not to worry, and I go back under the dryer. Came out another hour or so later with the bronziest most uneven hair. They passed the buck on who was going to dry it, obviously because they all knew how awful of a job it was!!! It should be noted that upon expressing my extreme unhappiness to him privately, Armando never apologized, and insisted it looked like the picture I showed him. I will let this photo of what I wanted vs what I got speak for itself. This is the next day at work - smh did I really let myself be seen like this(?) If you know what is good for you, you will not come here and see Armando!! He is not looking out for your best interest and he will yes you until you actually believe that you might come out of there looking even semi-okay (you won't). PS he waived the cost but really he should have been paying me the money it took to fix this hack job!
