I just went to Deep Blue Studio for the first time. Kali is new to the salon (but not the business), I loved everything about the experience. Kali listened, asked questions, and was understanding -I ended up with a great cut (I often leave a salon disappointed). I'm looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I've been here about 5 times, and since my initial haircut the service has steadily declined with each visit. I had to come back the last time so Candice could fix my cut, clearly annoyed, and left me with a choppy bang-like piece that I ended up fixing elsewhere. Then this last visit I showed her a photo of what I wanted - a very blunt shoulder length bob. Pretty simple. I was there 20 minutes tops and wasn't shown the back with a mirror, and when I got home and looked with my own mirror, I found the cut was uneven, angled, and longer at the front. Sure it looked nice after being blow dried, and I typically play around with my hair afterwards to to be sure the cut flows nicely, but I felt uncomfortably rushed with her standing at the register waiting for me. The floor should also be swept between each client. That was definitely my last visit there. read more

I wanted to wait to write this review until I actually saw how my hair looked post-styling, but I'm happy to say that I was really pleased. I have thick, curly, often frizzy hair and I'm always nervous finding a place to get it cut (I've lived in the area for 8+ years and haven't yet found a place I'm comfortable going to regularly). As such, I hadn't gotten my hair cut in months (like, 8 months) prior to this appointment. I got my hair cut with Candace, and she looked at my hair dry and asked me around where I wanted it to hit afterwards, which I really appreciated with curls. She was able to blow dry it straight afterwards, and I was scared it was going to be too short once it dried curly. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised! It might have been 0.5-1 inch shorter than I anticipated, but it looked great! Deep Blue was the perfect combo of well priced with awesome results. and I might have finally found a place that I can go to regularly! P.S. The online appointment system is also pretty helpful. read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever had, and in a studio that has amazing vibes and even nicer people. Not to mention, incredible prices! My hair grows slow so I won't be back for a few months, but I can't wait to go back when it's time. read more

I have seen Candice, Sylvia, AND Christiana and they are all fabulous, talented, and lovely to talk to! I always come back here :)

Christiana is AMAZING. She got me ready for a photoshoot on short notice, she listened to what I described and gave me the perfect cut. She styled it so well, used great products that made my hair soft and moveable, so it looked awesome for the shoot. Everyone commented on what a great hair day I was having :) No wonder she's so often booked up. I highly recommend this whole place. read more

See all

Christiana has been cutting my hair and doing my eyebrows for a couple years now. She's easily the best hair stylist I've ever had, and is especially great considering the price. I have medium length hair and I've liked every haircut I've gotten from her and she's amazing at brow waxing. She is able to clean up my brows without making them too thin, and the products she uses don't irritate my skin like some salons do. She also seems like a genuine and sweet person. Overall, I would highly recommend. read more

I just got a hair cut and partial balayage with Christiana and I absolutely loved how it turned out. It was very reasonably priced and the best cut/color I've had. I have curly hair that can be hard to deal with sometimes, but Christiana clearly knows how to handle curls. I should also mention that I felt safe with the Covid precautions Deep Blue is taking. Thanks so much! read more

I've been having my hair cut and colored here for a few years and been totally pleased. Candice is my stylist, but I wouldn't hesitate to go to Sylvia or Christiana. I felt I needed to post about my COVID experience at the salon yesterday. The team did so much to ensure the safety of their clients by limiting the number of people in the salon at one time, wearing both masks and visors, and also long plastic aprons, placing a barrier between the chairs, making sure I disinfected my hands, taking my temperature, not talking during the hair washing, and no blow drying. I felt very safe and was awed by the care they took to follow the state guidelines. And my cut and color was great, as always. read more

I really couldn't say nicer things about my appointment with Sylvia today. I not only walked out with a really cute pixie but she took the time to look at my hair, ask questions about its texture, and (post-cut) talk me through how she was styling it. She was also an absolute gem about getting the bangs just how I wanted them. I'm that person who'll just say "it's lovely, thanks" when I have a bad 80s mullet, so it says a lot about Sylvia that I felt comfortable and happy enough to get exactly the cut I wanted! read more

Deep Blue advertises children's haircuts and I called and confirmed that they cut children's hair, but now it's clear they don't really want to do this. Stylist was not friendly, did not even wet my daughter's hair, made about 5 cuts, and then told me she was done and charged $40. What? If the haircut is only going to be 5 minutes, it would be good to know this in advance so we can go somewhere else. Discovered at home the cut was uneven too. Perhaps they spend more time on adult haircuts but not worth the risk and cost to find out. read more

I've been getting my haircut here for many years and absolutely love it here. Zara and Candace are exceptionally talented hair stylists who strive for excellence. read more

I had been here before and didn't schedule enough time to do what I really wanted done - but Christiana did a great job with the time we had. I just returned for a trim and color and I practically cried from disappointment with the trim. My bangs were just awful. Is it normal now for salons to NOT do any style whatsoever - even just to make sure they did well? Do people have no pride in their work anymore? I travel for work so it is not easy finding someone with whom I don't have a relationship. Since when does it cost so much extra to simply blow dry in a fashion that shows a) you did a good job or b) this part needs to be fixed. Is it that much trouble to take a flat iron at least? Perhaps she was just having an off day. read more

Love this salon!!! I don't usually write reviews, but after coming here for a year and a half and only having perfect experiences, it seems necessary. Deep Blue is easily the best salon I've been to in Boston--and really anywhere for that matter. Both Candice and Sylvia are extremely talented and just plain cool to chat with during a cut. The salon itself is amazing: it's modern and stylish, but without any pretentiousness. Plus--and I wouldn't be a true patron without mentioning--Sylvia and Candice have the cutest dogs in the world who never fail to make my day! As long as I'm in Boston, this is the only place I'll trust with my hair. read more

AMAZING staff, everyone is super friendly and hospitable. Doritt did a full balayage on my hair in a rose gold and gave me a fantastic cut. After 3 years being in Boston and getting hack job haircuts I'm thrilled to have found a new reliable salon nearby in Brookline. Also, there was a staff puppy there named Panda, so A+ all around a great time! read more

So to preface--I have NEVER gotten my hair cut before (professionally that is--my sisters would take care of that!) so naturally, I was pretty nervous about signing my locks over to someone I didn't know but I'm so glad I went to Deep Blue!! I wanted a good chunk of hair cut as well as layers and Candice listened to exactly what I wanted and was super nice the whole time. I would definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere was super relaxing and laid back, definitely not intimidating like I had heard about other places. Upon arrival I was greeted by the CUTEST puppy, who was super fun to play with (since I arrived 15 minutes early). Being a dog lover, I would probably have come back to Deep Blue just for the dog (whose name is Panda...I mean come on!!) but luckily for me, and the rest of Brookline, Deep Blue is a great place to get your hair cut and the prices were super reasonable (which you can see the prices ahead of time when you book your appointment online). I will be going back! read more

After recently moving, I needed a new hair salon and chose Deep Blue based on other online reviews and proximity to my apartment. The other reviews weren't wrong! Priscilla was friendly and easy to talk to, and steered me in the right direction to help me reach my hair goals. Loved the style and will be back! 5 stars on the haircut!! I also got an eyebrow wax, it was quick, easy and professional. Very happy with how they came out. read more

Candice cut my hair. I got a cut with no blowdry and it said it was supposed to be for 30 minutes. The appointment lasted about 15 minutes and I had to pay 45 dollars, which is beyond absurd. The cut was completely botched and she completely neglected the left side of my hair. When I felt the back of my head, the hair that was the deepest and closest to my neck was much shorter than the hair in front of it, it was so strange. I looked at the way she cut my hair, and I could see that her technique was not as refined as some other places I went to, and she didn't seem focused on the cuts she made. Overall I'm very disappointed and now I have to go pay more money to fix my hair and make it symmetrical and even. If I wanted a basic cut, I would have gone to Supercuts, and at least they would make the cuts even. Don't come here if you want a good quality haircut. This amount of money can get you so much more at other places in the Boston area. read more

Service was great. But my hair dresser asked me where I was originally from. So sadly I don't think I will return.

Soooo easy and stress-free, which is a big deal to a person like me who gets a trim like once every 1.5 years because the whole haircut thing is usually so uncomfortable/annoying/drawn out. Not here: Sylvia got my pre-wedding trim-plus done really quickly, correctly, and with just the right amount of small talk (friendly but minimal). I usually stumble into a random cheap hair salon to get the dead ends taken care of (hi, Wavelengths), but wanted to take a bit more care with my pre-wedding locks, and I'm glad I came here- totally worth the (reasonable) price. Extra points for an online booking system too- it's amazing how much that little detail alone makes the whole experience 10X better. This may even make me want to start getting my hair trimmed regularly... [UPDATE: Christiana does a efficient and accurate trim as well, and the last time I was in there, I was greeted by an adorable puppy named Panda, which made my day.] read more

I've been a customer here for over a year and I've always had nothing but good experiences so far. Christiana cuts my short hair really well, always asks how I want it and makes sure everything is OK (and as an extra bonus, she is really nice). I found this place after trying many places and I love that the atmosphere is super friendly and there's a good quality-price relationship. They always have tiny details that add a special charm as a place and there's even an adorable puppy who's super friendly :) Last but not least, their online booking system is really efficient and convenient and it even sends you a reminder for your appointment. read more

I just got my hair done here tonight! I called this afternoon and they were able to see me in a few hours, which was great because I am busy all the time. I didn't know what I wanted exactly, but I came in and described what I was thinking. Candice and Sylvia took their time making sure we were all on the same page with my color and cut. The place is really easy to get to on the train, and really comfortable/cute inside! They were very welcoming and didn't rush! My hair came out perfect, actually better than I had expected. (It never seems to come out how you want it) I love everything about it and this place! I am so happy I finally found a salon in Boston that I really like! I would recommend it !! read more

I've been showing hairstylists a picture of the cut I wanted for over a year but it wasn't until I decided to check out Deep Blue and met Zara that I finally got the look! She totally nailed it! read more

Worth the higher price - I really trust Candace with my hair & once I find that I tend to stay as in the past my thicker wavier hair can be overwhelming for some cheaper places. She really knows her stuff and can tell my daily routine/bad hair habits just by looking at my hair before I say anything & gives helpful tips. They are taking covid precautions, friendly staff and flexible appointment times. read more

Sylvia and Candice are the coolest chicks...ever. I've been coming here to get my haircut since I moved to Boston in August, and I've been nothing but incredibly satisfied with the results! They are nestled in Brookline with a small but cute shop right off Washington St. The interior is so chic and incredibly artsy, which is a great reflection of the two lovely ladies who own Deep Blue. I get my haircut with Sylvia, and she is such a great person with whom to have a conversation! We share a good amount of laughs in the half hour that I spend there. I've been working on developing my own business, and she always asks how it's coming along, and every now and again she will give me some pointers! I have a lot of respect for Sylvia and Candice and their ability to run this small business professionally but with a ton of character and personality! read more

Service on 3/15/14 While looking for an appointment to have my hair done again I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that Deep Blue now has an esthetician and now offers skincare and waxing services. Christiana has a very nice set-up downstairs which is spotless and well lit. She is very friendly, and took good care of my eyebrows. I'm looking forward to trying some of her other services. Her facial (complete with hand and foot mittens!) is definitely on my list to try! Service on 3/18/14 Yep, I'm back 3 days later to get my hair done again with Sylvia again. I got so many compliments last time there was no way I was going anywhere else! read more

I really like deep blue salon. I get my hair cut by Candace. She always does a good job and has given me good info about hair care and styling--she totally changed the way I blow dry my hair so that I don't need a straightener anymore. She also doesn't use industry language in a way that's confusing. They have an online booking system that's really convenient, too (but now I book when I leave my appointment). read more

Sylvia has been doing my hair for over a year now, and I've been very happy with both the color and cut. She really listens to me, and has made a lot of helpful suggestions. We even looked at Pinterest together when I was considering highlights, so that I would get exactly what I wanted. I visited her new salon for the first time yesterday. It's a beautiful space, and there's a big parking lot in the back. The location in Brookline is great, so I can go get a drink or a bite after my hair is done. I highly recommend you give the salon a try! read more

I absolutely love this salon! Sylvia and Candice are excellent at what they do. Candice has consistently given me excellent cuts. The last two times I went in I got color treatments. The first time I went from brunette to blonde. This was a big change for me, but Candice made sure that I got a color I was comfortable with. I received many compliments on the color! The second time, she gave me an ombre which I absolutely love and get lots of compliments on! I even convinced my boyfriend to get his hair cut by Sylvia. That was last year. He is also a loyal Deep Blue fan! I also got a facial and eyebrow wax a couple weeks ago with Christiana. The facial was lovely and she gave me an amazing brow wax. I will be going back this weekend. Also, the interior is very cute and they use organic products. For me, service and skill are most important and these three women do a stellar job! I highly recommend this salon. read more

Sylvia and Candice are the best! I love this salon! The atmosphere is lively and the staff is very attentive. The establishment is well taken care of and very clean. The salon is located in a great place, just a short walk from the Brookline Hills stop. (They also have parking available in the back. After trying to find a salon in Brookline, going to many and feeling disappointed, I was so happy when Deep Blue Hair Studio opened. I've been getting my hair cut by Sylvia for a while now and I'm always very happy with the results. I usually don't know what I want, but she listens to my convoluted suggestions and makes some magic! I've never gotten my hair done by Candice, but nevertheless, she has been very attentive and friendly. They are both great owners of a great establishment. I highly recommend it. read more

Last night I got the chance to check out the new salon of my stylist for over 2 years, Sylvia. The studio is fantastic! The location is perfect with bonus parking right around back. The space is clean, warm and welcoming. It just all flows together in a really cool way. Their website is a bonus too. Easy online booking with great reminders to confirm your appointment. For those of us that struggle with calendars, this is fantstic. And of course a note about my stylist, Sylvia. She is the best. I've recommended that people to go check her out since the beginning and several of my friends have been become her clients. She always listens to what I want, offers suggestions (but not in a pushy way), and it is really a group effort to get me the best hair possible. Love the studio. Love Sylvia. Love the price! Definitely go check them out! read more

I'm not a conventionally feminine woman (no makeup or hair dye, etc) so hair salons make me uncomfortable in general due to the hyper-femininity and feeling like women are sizing each other up. I was excited to visit this place due to the glowing reviews re: the friendly customer service. I asked my hairdresser for a dry cut (mostly because I had been reading about the benefits) and the woman who cut my hair gave me the most passive aggressive and awkward response: "Ummm ok. Is there a reason why you want a dry cut?" I wish I could describe the condescending tone better. I replied that I simply wanted to try it out and again her interaction with me was off-putting "ok then." The conversation that followed was extremely forced and uncomfortable and I used all my best sense to diffuse the tension and at least make the conversation interesting/enjoyable for both of us. The haircut itself was fine but I had to endure about 30 minutes of what I interpreted to be an exaggerated response on her end due to a simple request. I tipped the hairdresser well only because of my general ethos re: how folks in the service industry should be paid 1000000x more than they are. I won't be coming back. read more

I followed my hair stylist Candice to her new salon and I honestly can't complain. I have been faithfully going to her for years and she continues to do an outstanding job. Her new salon carries a natural product line which doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. I find that my hair is VERY responsive to this and I will continue to use them. Lastly, I should mention that I find this location to be particularly convenient with free parking behind the building. WOOT WOOT! read more

Since I moved to the US, 8 years ago, I never truly trusted a hairdresser here and would always do my hair in Brazil since I go back twice a year at least, but that was before I met Candice. She is AMAZING! I've been nothing but incredibly satisfied with the results! The salon is small, cute and very artsy! I always relax when I go there. The only downside is they are incredibly busy, and because I can only do the weekends or evenings I always have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to get an appointment. Good for them, bad for me. However the wait is so worth it. Kuddos to Janice and Sylvia who are able to run the salon by themselves with so much professionalism! It is indeed as good as it gets! read more

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES Christina was super nice and kind. It was a very pleasant experience. I had a Keratin treatment and paid almost 400$ (well, including a generous tip) the only problem was that after I washed my hair, it was just as it was before. I went back and asked if this is what they expected, and got a polite smile. Bottom line to pay 400$ for very nice conversation, and a blow-dry it is a bit expensive. I am very disappointed. ​Wouldn't recommend. read more

I am not one to post reviews on Yelp, but I absolutely have to for this salon!! I have lived in the Boston area for 3 years and was never able to find a great salon... But Deep Blue has finally filled that void!! Candice is great and was recommended to me by another client, and she has done awesome things so far! She "fixed" my awful cut I had from another salon and it has worked out great. Today she put in highlights - my first ever! And they look amazing. I had always been nervous to get them until I found someone I trusted with my hair. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Reasonably priced, parking in the back, kind, awesome stylists you can trust... What's not to like?? Go check them out!! read more

I had a fantastic experience today at Deep Blue Hair Studio! I've been living in Boston for a few years and haven't had much luck finding a go-to salon. I'm happy to report that the search is now over! My appointment with Candice was excellent; she didn't finch when I told her that I hadn't had my hair cut in about six months or that I often like to wear my naturally thick curly hair straight. Instead, she listened to what I wanted and made some additional suggestions. The end result is a haircut that I'm confident will look fantastic whether I choose to wear my hair straight or curly. read more

I'm a guy with longer (shoulder+ length) hair, and I've been to see Sylvia for my haircut twice now. She's awesome, really friendly, and instantly makes me feel welcome. Sylvia always listens to what I'm looking for, and is great about using her expertise to deliver I want. I've been extremely satisfied with both of my haircuts, and will be returning in the future for sure. read more

I visited Deep Blue Hair Studio today for the first time and was very pleased with not only my haircut but the customer service and salon itself. They use (mostly) organic products, which is fantastic and my hair feels like silk! Stephanie was an awesome hairstylist, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting her at Deep Blue Hair Studio! Bonus: they have parking! read more

I had a very positive experience at this salon. I am always hesitant to try new stylists, but I just needed a simple cut and blow dry to take care of the dead ends. I booked with Candace, and loved the experience! I would definitely recommend this salon to friends, and will certainly come back again. Pros: online booking (nice touch, very convenient!), tip on credit card, friendly environment, price (the price is moderate, but in this area, it's a good deal for a good haircut) read more
