Amazing salon, you do get what you pay for here and it's totally worth it! Waited a while for my appointment with Darya but it did not disappoint. Hair looks amazing and my nails have never looked better. read more

It may have just been an off day at the salon but I waited for 20 minutes for my appointment with no one explaining to me why I had to wait so long - just allowing me to sit there with no interaction. When I finally asked how much longer it would be, I was told that the stylist I had booked hadn't shown up but another stylist would take me. I was there for color but once my color was put on, no one checked on me with the exception of once asking if I wanted water (there was no coffee or tea on offer) then I was stuck at the wash basin for 10 minutes unattended with the staff who washed my hair just walking away with no notice. Finally, when the color was washed out, I mentioned that it was too dark and the stylist apologized by saying that it was the first time that she had used that brand of color. The cost at Darya is the same as that at RJ Miller which offers much more professional treatment of its clients - tho it is mid-island and not in walking distance of downtown. RJ Millier also constantly checks in with the client and offers coffee and tea and not just water - a standard courtesy at most salons charging similar prices. Unless you are in a pinch and Darya is the only place to get an appointment when you need it, I would suggest other island salons. read more

I never tend to leave any negatives reviews but yesterday I asked for a light trim with a small fade and the first thing my stylist did was completely shave the right side of my head, I cant speak to the quality of the other services, but if you are a guy looking for a haircut DO NOT GO HERE. I was left with loose strands of uncut hair and looked like I had been struck by lighting when I had got up. After letting my stylist know and asking her to fix it before I had to go to my job, she turned me away and said to come back another day. Only pluses I will say is that my stylist recognized her mistake and was very pleasant to speak to. I understand that people make mistakes but my stylist made a mistake which put me an additional $40 down as I had went to another barber to have the mistake fixed. Overall 2/10 experience would not come back. read more

Darya is my bridal nightmare! Today is Tuesday, my wedding is this coming Saturday, 3 days away, Denis from Darya Salon told me they never booked my bridal party. I was promised that I was booked when I did my bridal trial at Darya in June. I have an email with signature and credit card information from June. When I was at the salon, the ladies there promised they were available and blocked off my wedding date for me. Instead of admitting they have doubled booked and screwed up, every conversation I have had with Denis, she looked for excuses and tried to make it seem like it was my fault. Including "did you use a wedding coordinator? No? That why you lack proper follow up." She said "who did you talk to? I'm the only person that handles bridal." Like it was my fault that I believed the staff at the salon! When she offered to "try to accommodate me" and I asked for a discount to compensate for them putting me in this stressful disaster, she was "you are taking this conversation to a toxic direction." It's a nightmare to try to find someone 3 days before my wedding. It's worse that their bridal person refused to admit it's their responsibility and used aggressive attitude and language to "apologize and move forward." Darya salon clearly do NOT care and is simply terrible. I feel really stressed and mistreated. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE DARYA! read more

My husband and I went to Darya spa at the White elephant hotel in Nantucket! Our two 90 minute massages were outstanding! We had Monique and Melody. They were so fantastic we rebooked again for another two 90 minutes massages again for two days later! We highly recommend Daria's spa at White Elephant hotel! We can't say enough wonderful things about the ladies and their terrific services! It's expensive but we'll worth it! Thank you! It's a Must book! read more

I got a manicure and pedicure. I love how the nail section is separated with doors from the hair section. It was less noisy and more relaxing in there not hearing all the hair dryers. My mani and pedi came out amazing and I loved the atmosphere. My family has a home on the island and I spend most of September there. I'll definitely be back next year to get another manicure and pedicure. read more

I have a lot of hair, but $75 for an hour blowout? Really? Was it a great blow out? Oh, hell yes, but dayummmmm... $75 without tip?! I was actually quoted $60 on the phone, but I'm assuming since I have a hefty head of hair they tagged on some extra cost? _ The salon is conveniently located in downtown, if convenience is downtown as parking can be limited during the busy summer season. This place seems to be constantly busy as it's a full service salon and spa meaning they do hair, nails, makeup, skin and maybe even massages. Definitely upscale and great service, but gosh for $75, I wish I added a haircut on, it probably would have been about the same price. My hair looked awesome, it smelled wonderful, the ladies working seemed to be super nice and professional (high five Jodie) and I was happy. My Nantucket mantra applies here: "if money ain't a thing, this place is definitely for the win." Probably my first and last time getting my hair did on Nantucket; I can't afford it, yo! read more

I've gone in for a polish change a few times and it's been fine. Nothing special, but the staff gets the job done and the salon is clean. Kudos for the new online scheduling feature! Minus one star because it's super expensive for a polish change ($20) and the color selection is somewhat limited. read more

I always look forward to my cut, color and mani pedi appts at Darya. Ina is an amazing hair stylist and Glenis is a fantastic nail technician . I leave feeling like a new person. The talent and professionalism not to mention friendly energy is top notch. I book all my summer appts at Darya read more

Darya's gives exceptional service to the customer. The entire staff is pleasant and professional . Darya gives a great haircut and is a good stylist She really individualizes her techniques to the individual customer I felt very relaxed to be in the salon knowing they were taking all the precautions to make the customer safe and comfortable Darya's salon is definitely a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale read more

I had gotten my nails done about four days prior to this review and they were a mess. I was confused because gel polish usually lasts 2-3 weeks for me! The girl who did my nails also did an incredible job so I know it was not due to her technique/ performance. I called up because I have a wedding on Saturday and well I wanted my nails to look good lol. They took me right in and completely re did my nails! No charge too! They are so understanding and truly did an amazing job. I love the staff as well, so warm and welcoming. I've also gotten my haircut here and they definitely know what they're doing. Treat yourselves here ladies! read more

Be very, very careful when dealing with the folks who run Darya. We had reached out to them a year before my daughter got married on Nantucket, and they sent us a breakdown of costs, which we agreed to. But then, a few months later, they signficantly upped their prices - except that they forgot to let us know! One of their unexpected fee changes was a built-in 20% gratuity. You can only imagine our frustration when they admitted their lack of communication, but then didn't do anything to correct their high prices. Kind of an odd way to treat a client who is spending thousands of dollars on your services. read more

I highly recommend this salon. We are visiting from Florida for a wedding and made an appointment to get our hair done. Our hair turned out fantastic and the management was incredible! I recommend going to Meggan! read more

Meghan did a beautiful job, very meticulous, with a keratin treatment and hair trim. It seemed to have color correction in it, too, since my roots disappeared, and my hair is very straight and shiny. I have to confess to sticker shock; the keratin I had been getting in Florida cost me $125; this is $200 per hour. But this is Nantucket, where things are more expensive, and my hair does look fantastic. The gel pedicure was $95, which included removal of my old gel polish. This was twice what I pay in Florida. The technician did a credible job, but the massage chair was broken. From the way the techs spoke, the chair had not functioned for some period of time. The salon should stay on top of these things. That's why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. The salon was clean and took cautionary steps in our COVID-19 environment. We used a hand sanitizer and wore masks, and shampoo sinks were separated by plastic curtains. I also had to fill out a form that seemed to hold the salon faultless in case I got sick. Fair enough. They can't be blamed if I get sick, not with their efforts. I have made another appointment with Meghan, and I will get another pedicure if the chair is fixed. read more

Wonderful pedicure! Excellent service. Friendly. Very hard to find, however, because of strange address number. Otherwise, great read more

Safe and smooth Covid process. Safety is emphasized but it didn't impact the service at all. Very happy with the haircut. Jodi is great

Jodi is a miracle worker and I owe her my firstborn (or dog, or life, or something similar - you get it). I had my hair done for my wedding at another salon. Not 20 minutes later it was completely poofy/frizzy and pieces were falling out. Darya was close to our hotel and we had to leave for the ceremony an hour later. I called from right outside and they ushered me in and like magic, a swarm of people surrounded me. Jodi and her assistant (didn't grab her name, but please thank her for me!) were so reassuring, calm, and skilled. Should have just booked here in the first place! I'll be back for future styling needs for sure. read more

DO NOT GET A PEDI FROM HERE!! My appointment was at 3:30pm. Doris did not seem to mind that she was running behind when she approached me at 3:55. Hello??? I also live and work here too so my time is precious. The water was cool, but I didn't complain, I just wanted to relax.....however her previous client called her over because her nail was still "sticky".....Doris left me to tend to the other customer for an additional 7 minutes. When she came back to me at 4:09 she appeared shocked that I should be a bit miffed. The other nail tech just rolled her eyes..... They appeared shocked when I took my feet out of the now frigged bath and walked away. Honestly! Just stick with hair folks. Sarah is the best!!!!!!!! read more

This is one of the great businesses on Nantucket! Confess that I have been going there for years for cut, color and blow dry with Darya herself. My most recent experience was this.....walking by salon the other day I popped in un-announced and asked if someone was available to wash and blow my hair. I was feeling really lazy. Mirabelle (sp?) gives the greatest shampoo and scalp massage on the planet and the blow-out was amazing. This was on Friday. Today is Sunday and it still looks great! Happy, happy, happy! read more

Scheduled a mani/pedi today and it was a slice of heaven. The salon is absolutely beautiful...airy, spacious and with lovely decor. Staff is professional and courteous and despite the fact that in high season they could book every slot several times over they provide ample time and attention and make you feel pampered and special. Missy gave me an excellent mani/pedi and was lovely. Should have tried Darya years ago...love it. read more

First mani as an engaged woman! I had a hard time finding a nail salon on the island. Thankfully the inn keeper at Sherburne Inn gave me Darya's phone number. They are right in town on centre street, right across from the bean! There are only about three nail salons in Nantucket that I know of and two in town. At first, I wasn't able to get in to Darya but they called back and squeezed me in. I sat in the back and the nail tech, Rebecca was great. She was very thorough and took her time with the mani. The mani was $45, much pricier than I would typically pay but it was worth it and my nails have not chipped yet! I will return next time I am in Nantucket. read more

Sarah is the most amazing hair dresser, she always knows what I want even when I don't know. My hair has never looked so good, she is a true artist! Highly recommended! read more

I visited Darya salon various times this summer and could not be happier with each experience. I got a great haircut with Ina, and taming my thick curly hair into a nice haircut is not easy. I had a very small wedding at the end of August, and my manicure lasted 10 days without chipping. Never has this happened before! We moved my wedding a day earlier due to the impending hurricane, and Ina and Amanda were extremely patient and amazing when it came to rescheduling just hours before and squeezing in me for makeup and my mom for a blowout. Amanda is the sweetest receptionist and is so friendly when we spoke on the phone numerous times. I love this salon and these ladies are the best! read more

Had a great mani/pedi here. Mine usually don't last, but my nails are still in great shape over a week later. A little on the pricey side, but it's Nantucket after all. read more

The manicures are done well, the place is super pleasant and clean and the staff is friendly. They worked fast (which I loved) and the result was great. Really couldn't ask for more! read more

Darya is amazing, never disappointed. Love this salon. Great atmosphere, gorgeous space, perfect!

Made my unfortunate decision to stay out at the Box until 2am the morning of my wedding disappear! Wish I could share before and after pictures... Really cannot recommend Sara enough, she was super flexible when I had to stay on the phone figuring out decoration questions and who needed to pick up what. They came in on a Sunday for us, and stayed a bit past when the original appointment was scheduled for. Wonderful, wonderful staff, definitely worth every penny! read more

Can't speak for any of the other services, but DO NOT let them touch your nails. I went here while on vacation and in a pinch to find someone to repair my one broken UV-gel nail to hold until I got back home a week later, and the other salons nearby in Nantucket were all booked (I can see why these guys had openings). I've had lots of not-so-great looking repairs in the past from people other than my normal top-notch manicurist back home, but nothing compares to how awful this experience was. From the first minute I could tell this woman had little to no experience or training with UV gels and was totally unfamiliar with the products (which were all in never-opened containers). Not only did it take her 45 minutes to do ONE nail, but it looks AWFUL. I literally had to tell HER how to make it more properly shaped (was literally inverted looking from a side profile, dipped in the center like a scoop!), and honestly was about to just ask for her to give me all the tools and I would have done it myself and done a much better job. It also started lifting at the edges the same day. To add injury to insult (not sure I've ever had to reverse that saying before!), she proceeded to slice a half inch cut into my finger just below the cuticle while filing it down. I can almost excuse the super shoddy looking end-product because again, she clearly has no proper training in gels and should not be doing them at all, however there is NO excuse for careless filing technique that results in injury by anyone employed doing nail-tech services. At least they did not charge me because they knew the awful service I had just endured, but I still left here on the verge of tears. Run. Don't walk. read more

Love the new location--attractive and lots of room for everyone. The staff is first-rate and the online booking process or a telephone call with the helpful reception desk makes it easy to find available times. I don't use polish but Rebeca gives a marvelous buff manicure and pedicure. The staff is most helpful. Darya is great and has a great shop. read more

This is my first time coming to Daryas Salon this year. I had a terrible experience and will not be returning. I'll begin by saying that I have had the same style of high contrast ombré/balayage for 5 years, I know how my hair responds to lightening and I know it is capable of reaching a blonde ashy color. I will also prefix this by stating that I'm aware that you cannot always get your desired level of blonde in one session but my hair was at a level of blonde when I entered the salon that should have easily achieved this. I came to the salon with 4 pictures, high contrast, ashy ombré style color. One of them is a picture of me last year with this color and style. I just needed to bring up the blonde that had grown out. I also brought in my clip in extensions that I wear everyday (and have always matched the ashy tone) so she could trim them. The hairdresser, Ina, says without hesitation sure, no problem. She proceeds to cut and color my hair. After a few hours in the chair, she shampoos and tones but as soon as I sit in front of the mirror I see yellow highlight looking streaks from the root of my hair and around my face. I immediately displayed concern about this and stated that I didn't want anything near the root that would look like streaky highlights. She said "oh we should have talked about that earlier, the pictures you showed me have blonde near the root." She hesitantly goes over my root with dark color in attempts to cover this mistake. While she does that, I look over my pictures, none of them have streaky highlights from the root. But, ok, I give her a chance to fix it and wearily say I will give it a few days. I am clearly unhappy with the results but she tried to just brush it off by suggesting that "maybe I'm not used to seeing myself with this much blonde". And that if I feel unhappy, in a few days we can rebook to tone. A few days pass and I have not worn my hair down, my extensions (which I've worn for years) don't match the hair color AT ALL, I am embarrassed by the brassy yellow color and throw it in a ponytail everyday. I text Ina telling her the situation and she says that I need to book and pay for another appointment with her for partial highlight. I express how unsatisfied I am and that for 400$ I would have expected at least similar results to what I asked for. She responds "I'm sorry for the miscommunication and I'm sorry to hear that you won't be rebooking." I speak to some friends who live here year round and tell them the situation, they are shocked and surprised by the treatment I received from the hairstylist. I can't believe that after getting completely different results than what I asked for, she suggests paying for another session with her. I call the salon over the weekend and leave a long message explaining the situation, they didn't return my call. I call Monday morning and speak to the salon manager, she hears me out and states that I should come into the salon so they can see the color that I'm unhappy with. I go to the salon later that week and speak to the salon manager in person, once again I explain my situation and they are hesitant to admit that the hairstylist did a terrible job and left me with streaky orange highlights! She says that Ina "hesitated to lift me to a level of blonde that would potentially cause damage to my hair." I understand this excuse but if this were really the case and Ina knew she wasn't going to achieve the results that I desired, this should have been clearly explained and communicated to me and I would have brought my business elsewhere. The salon manager offers to book a corrective appointment with a different colorist. I was nervous about trusting this salon that refused to recognize the mistake they had made which my friends said "you have to be blind not to see." I went forward with the corrective appointment. Upon arrival new colorist had no idea why I was there, so unprofessional (they never informed her of my history). She completely overtones my hair, leaving it purple for a week. I am charged again and there go over 500$. Never again! read more

This overpriced salon is a very popular spot for hair on Nantucket, but I just cannot see why. The staff is disorganized and distracted. The owner is very much out of touch with the way the salon is run. It seems as though someone handed this woman a business without giving her the proper training on how to run it. She is constantly running behind and has VERY little regard for her customers' time. During the summer of 2009, the salon ran remarkably well. This past summer was a nightmare and I doubt the owner will have gotten herself together enough to run a tight ship. Efficiency and customer service is not a priority here. read more

a friend gave me Darya's name and I am so glad I went to see her. She is a color expert and a lovely person. I will definitely visit her salon again. read more

I am sorry that the previous reviewer had such a bad experience, but all I can say is that they do a great pedicure and standard manicure. In addition, Darya does my hair cut and color and I prefer her to my stylist at home. She is a complete professional and I look forward to the times when I can have her do my color and cut. When she does highlights, she uses at least three colors and the result is natural and shiny and great. She uses organic products which I really like. She really is the best on the island. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! I had a gel manicure and it began to chip after 6 days. The price was $55. When I went back to the salon the receptionist Adrian told me they had similar complaints but weren't doing anything about it. She was extremely rude and arrogant . I would not go here again! read more
