Don't come here. The stylist was nice, but my hair is ruined. I mentioned to both the girl washing my hair and the stylist that my foils were dripping and smelled like vinegar. They said they didn't know what that was. Now, my hair is breaking off about 1.5 or 2 inches from my scalp such that I am going to have micro-bangs. I called and the woman I spoke to just offered to have my come in for deep conditioner or shine treatment and I kept saying that's not going to fix this situation because my hair is gone. Conditioner won't bring it back. She asked if I had breakage when I left and I said no but it takes time for hair to react. She scoffed when I said no, as if this is my fault. As if I would break off the front of my own hair! I got this done at Dellaria two days ago; I haven't done anything to damage my own hair. I don't use a straightener or a curling iron. I didn't do this. The processing damaged my hair. I looked up what vinegar-smelling liquid dripping from foils means, and it is the result of over-processing and heat used on foils. It means severe damage. I also have "hot roots," which is also caused by heat on foils and foils slipping. I had hot roots as soon as I got home from my appointment, right after being toned (for a really long time), so toner likely wouldn't fix it, either. My hair is irreparably damaged. They "don't offer refunds," which I get in most cases, but I can't believe they can damage my hair like this and just basically shrug. You can't condition my hair back onto my head. My only saving grace is that these are highlights, so my strands of natural hair are not breaking. I'm not confident that it will be enough in the long run. She kept saying if I come in, they can assess the damage, maybe do the treatments I mentioned before. I said I was happy to come in, but those treatments won't bring my hair back, so what else can they do? Nothing. They will do nothing. Updated to add another photo (Tuesday morning, three days after foil) to show how far from roots the foil was, the hot roots, and how uneven it is. I have the broken hairs tucked under layers and smoothed down with gel and wax so you can see how bad the color looks. read more

Five stars because my girl, Debbie, is here. If you are looking for a hair artist with deep knowledge of the intricacies of hair coloring and style, SHE IS AMAZING!! Hear me out: I have thin (yes, we call it 'fair'), dry (aka, frizzy and crazy), semi-curly hair. Seems like my hair is going a never ending middle age crisis, with my original color going between reddish brown to white!I tried a couple of different stylists in the Boston area with really disappointing (and quite expensive) outcomes. Enter Debbie. I met her at a different salon, and followed her at Delaria. I am a scientist and I love every time she patiently explains the magic world of hair coloring and styling with me, no matter how naive my questions are. And she patiently listens to my every mood when I visit her, even when I walk in screaming about needing a polished look for upcoming high-profile events. It is so precious to have a trusted hair stylist who understands what works for your skin palette and lifestyle and adjusts accordingly. So, come to Delaria and ask for Debbie! You will thank me afterwards!! PS: during Covid, we tried crazy hot pink highlights. We should have fun from time to time read more

I'd been coming to Dellaria Brookline for about a little over a decade now and am sad to note that the salon has gone way downhill over the past year. It's disappointing to see what was once such a customer service focused salon change this way. The staff isn't empowered, and management is completely absent, so when issues occur, there's no one who can take care of it. They've repeatedly been out of needed products, including basics like color. Salon is not being cleaned well and stylists just blow client hair at you if you're sitting waiting for your appointment. There are cameras everywhere, including outside the bathroom. Front desk staff turns over on a monthly basis. I feel bad for my stylist and continue to see them, but if not for them, I'd definitely go elsewhere. read more

I had my haircut with Jacqueline Early. I have long curly hair. She is a lovely experienced hair stylist. She specializes in hair color as well. I enjoyed all the care she had given me. Thank you so much! read more

I'm happy with my experience and my haircutter Allie, but shocked by the price--now double what I was paying just a few years ago. With many neighborhood barbers now offering $25 cuts, it's getting harder to justify Dellaria's costs. Inflation can't explain this and it feels more like price gouging. I suspect the money isn't being passed on to the staff. read more

I've visited Dellaria - Brookline Salon a couple of times for haircuts, and I've been consistently impressed. Conveniently located near Coolidge Corner with plenty of shops nearby, it's very easy to access. I especially appreciate the option to book appointments online and choose a stylist, which makes the process super convenient if you prefer not to call. Denise has been my stylist, and she's fantastic! She is highly skilled, professional, and very kind. I've been very happy with the results every time. I definitely recommend her and the salon for anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable haircut experience. read more

I went for an updo a few months ago and had an experience that left such a bad taste in my mouth that I felt compelled to share. I have had updos before for proms and weddings and have truly never experienced anything remotely like this. The hair stylist was SOOO rough with me I almost started crying and genuinely wondered if she was going through things and taking them out on me or whether she got enjoyment out of hurting someone. She teased and curled my hair so aggressively, constantly pulling and yanking until my skull was so sore all over. She could see I was visibly pained and said "sorry I know I'm heavy handed." I admitted it was quite painful (and usually I'm a suck-it-up kind of person) and she brushed it off and did nothing to make the experience gentler. In fact, it got worse when she started jamming Bobby pins into my head like I was a voodoo doll. I expect mild discomfort with Bobby pins (usually with long wear), but this was something else entirely. She assured me it was all in the name of beauty, again acknowledging that she knew she was causing me pain. To be honest, I don't care how great it turned out for that kind of service. And it turned out pretty awful. It was fine from the front but looked like a bird's nest from the back and had lots of visible Bobby pins poking out. Nothing at all like the photo I showed her as inspiration. I had another, more intricate updo a few weeks later for another wedding (different hair stylist/salon) and it was night and day difference. She was SOOOOO gentle (yet the hairstyle still lasted all night) and it looked 10000% better. Still bummed about the whole experience months later :-( read more

The staff is always friendly, and Rachel is truly the best hairdresser -- highly recommend!

I LOVE Dellaria Salon and have been seeing Rachel for both cut and color for about eight years. A highly professional and friendly staff and management; and top level stylists. Rachel is a phenomenal stylist worthy of way more than five stars. It is located in the lovely Coolidge Corner-- easy street parking, T access, or the parking lot located on Beacon St. (behind the salon). Easy online booking, too -- 10 stars : ) read more

Worst experience ever!!!! I had a service Monday full foil with cut i was quoted one price charged a different price the girl at the front desk treated me horrible. My hair stylist santiago was horrible. Aggressive did not provide me the color is asked for i wanted blonde it looks like it did before. I left there in tears from my head hurting and the bad service called and spoke to the manager with my mother who teaches hair manager wasn't helpful I was charged 355 for horrible service and no resolution read more

I have been getting great haircuts from Tuen for over 20 years. Have never found anyone as good. I hope to get one again SOON.

Excellent salon - good scheduling and reminder system, busy but cheerful vibe, and Anna is a gifted and meticulous stylist. Highly recommended. read more

my stylist is very talented and I have been her client for many years. I travel a fair distance and keep returning to Brookline for her. But, the salon itself is dirty and in dire need of a deep cleaning and then regular cleaning thereafter. The bathroom is disgusting and I have trouble believing that the management and the leadership of Dellaria are not aware of these deficiencies. The hair is so deeply ingrained into the carpet going downstairs that it appears that it would be almost impossible to get it out. I have directly spoken with 4 different managers about these issues and each time I return there is no improvement. It is sheer arrogance on the part of the Company's leadership that they feel they can ignore these issues due to Dellaria's name recognition and the Coolidge Corner location. read more

- I called on 3/17/24 regarding walk-ins and men's haircuts, and they said that they had an opening that day, so I decided to go. Only later would I realize I should have asked for specifics on who I was paired with and their experience level. - Got to Dellaria and waited. Met the stylist named Messia and showed her pictures of exactly what I wanted (this was never an issue in the past with previous stylists I went to). - Messia proceeds to cut the bottom half of my hair all around my head with a "4" electric shaver. Then she has me waddle over for shampoo and conditioner with my hair that is half uncut (at this point, I have a bowl cut). - Her electric shaver has also completely cut up and injured the back of my neck and the sides of my face and ears (see attached pictures). - Coming back to the chair, she took scissors and did not blend the cut at all. She chopped it up and gave me bangs, LOL. - This is when she realized she had failed. So, during the middle of the cut, she introduced me to another stylist named D to take over. My haircut experience had inevitably turned into a training session for Messia. - D miraculously fixes the haircut to some extent, and my hair turns out somewhat normal, but I am also left completely cut up from the electric shaver they used. Messia also did not have the equipment for trimming beards and made me feel uncomfortable after questioning if I exfoliate. (I have perfect hygiene.) - After the tragic haircut, I spoke to the woman at the front and mentioned everything that had happened. She was extremely dismissive, did nothing to help rectify the situation, and, as I was speaking to her, she just walked away, went to the back of the salon, and never returned. I should have been given a refund without question. By far, this was the worst experience I've ever had with a hair salon or barber shop. read more

Salon needs to freshen up, seating is old and uncomfortable. Seat at hair washing station had rips

So, I debated about posting this for a while but I previously posted a one sentence review without a reason, and I wanted to expand on that...I am very disappointed with Dellaria Brookline as I do not think that they handled this situation properly at all. I've been coming for about three years and I had one woman, Zaza and I would go to once or twice a year for the color and the cut on my hair. I never had any problems with her nor did she tell me she had any with me. I went to various other people for a blowouts, and normally not very picky. Most stylists had done a great job. The last time I visited Dellaria I requested that Zaza redo the color because it was very streaky and not what I asked for. It looked great afterwards. When I called to schedule an appointment a year later (I had moved and not been back since) They then stated that apparently because I asked for a redo that I was banned (?) which the policy was never communicated and I did not think that I had asked rudely and I just called and asked if they could fix it and I would pay for the difference. Apparently, another stylist Nicole, complained who I've only worked with once or twice, but the one time that I do remember, she put a product on my hair that made it sizzle, and I asked if it was fully dry and she became very offended telling me not to tell her how to do her job and pointing out that I seemed uncomfortable, which I said was because I'm not normally used to my hair popping in sizzling under a straightener as that normally does not happen. There was another stylist, Denise, who did a blowout, who scratched my scalp to the point when washing it where she ripped out hair and my hair was left very thin on the scalp, and they tried to tell me that it was due to dying and hot tools, which was not the case I have not color treated my hair in at least a year, and I have been to another salon where my hair has since grown back and they did not manhandle my hair as she did...They also claimed that I did not fill out or refused to fill out paperwork which I have no idea what they were talking about as I was never provided with any. While I will not be going back to any Dellaria location anytime soon this was very disappointing and honestly a bit offensive for someone who would've been coming to the salon for so long. Ultimately, I'm very shocked at them not communicating any of this and I was only given this information after calling to schedule an appointment. Kind of glad to be leaving the Boston area.... read more

First appointment today with Stella for color/highlights/cut. Always slightly nerve racking. Stella was awesome! Love hair color/highlight's and cut. She didn't overdue highlights. They are very soft and blend well into my color. Her personality was very friendly and professional. Being in the salon was comfortable. Music was at a comfortable level. Booked my next appointment the way out. Five stars to Stella. Highly recommend her!! read more

Absolutely fantastic salon. Best in Boston. The staff is friendly, the stylists are personal, highly professional, and caring. The client is treated like a dear friend or family. Unique and wonderful experience. read more

One of my worst experiences in a salon - bad enough for me to warn people against this place. My hair-stylist, Anna was extremely rude and unprofessional. I typically like to hear opinions from the hair stylist on what style would suit my face and I like to be experimental - precisely why I emphasized on having a consultation when I booked my appointment. They said that's included automatically, but Anna was unresponsive from the start and didn't offer any suggestions whatsoever. I tried to explain to her 3-4 times what I wanted after that and she just absent-mindedly nodded without implementing any of it. If I didn't spell it out, she would have left my hair asymmetrical on both sides! She seemed eager to just get me off the chair and be done with. Her body language was very off-putting, and she told me to my face that I was being fidgety, because demanding a reasonable haircut upon paying a hefty price (it cost me $60+) seems to be a big ask. That's when I just had to leave even though I wasn't done with the haircut to my satisfaction. The woman at the front desk offered to bring it up with operations, and management only called me to ask if they can call later only to never call back. HORRIBLE customer service at every step. Never going back there! read more

I've been coming to this salon for 20+ years, so I am very satisfied! I have been seeing Allie for many years, and she's the BEST!!!

I have only good things to say about her and Dellaria! read more

I've used Celeste as my colorist for many years and she's amazing!!!! She always listens to what I want, and knows what colors look best. She also does a great job cutting/styling my hair.

I've had good experiences in the past, but this was the last time I'll ever go to Dellaria in Brookline. The receptionist was very rude, and the stylist absolutely butchered my hair. It was choppy and uneven, and the layers weren't even blended in. I had asked for a bob that grazed my shoulders, but she hacked it off around my ears. Hopefully, I'll be able to find another salon that can fix it. read more

I first went to this salon about a year ago. I had someone bleach my hair unprofessionally and it was absolutely destroyed. I went into Dellaria just hoping it will come out all the same color. Well Shelley did say more than just one color. I have been to her three times and today is going to be my fourth time going to her. She had transformed my hair into my dream hair within three appointments with her. Never mind the amazing conversations we have had with each other while being with her. Not only is the stylist more than amazing for her work. The owner Sandi is very friendly to her customers and remembers you when you come in for the second, third, fourth appointment. They saved my hair and I couldn't be more grateful. read more

I took a chance on this salon after going for years to a salon in Cambridge. And I lucked out big time! Heather, a senior veteran stylist, cut my hair and styled my curls better than anyone has in YEARS. She taught me tricks that, at almost 30 years old, no one has ever shared with me about how to care for curly hair. The rest of the staff at Dellaria Brookline were warm and accommodating and I will be making this my permanent salon!! They had people of all ages in there (which made it feel like a real neighborhood gem) and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Great energy! read more

Dellaria Salons Brookline - The best curls I've ever had! - Hair Salons Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Dellaria Bookline is the best! It took me 4 years to find a hair salon with the level of professional expertise Dellaria Brookline has. Coming from Barcleona the stakes were high. Zaza (Isaura) is outstanding as a stylist and her knowledge of coloring is amazing. She is also very good at listening to the client and working with you to understand how right or wrong you might be in your expectations. She also nailed my color (I wear blond highlights) and gives great advice when slightly changing style. She does that across all age groups; my teenage son is a big fan of her after several cuts...he will not get a haircut elsewhere. She is also ALWAYS on time. The other stylists seem great, but I can't talk about them bc I only ever had Zaza take care of my hair. Finally Sandy at the front desk is sharp, fast, and always on point. She brings the atmosphere together, is always ready to smile, and can solve any problem, scheduling mishap are anything else that might arise. Not to mention her quick wit and humor! You will never go wrong with Dellaria Brookline. Truly. read more

This is the second time I've seen Anna for a cut and color and she was just as great the second time! Attentive, talented and professional Unfortunately, the receptionist Sandy, seemed to have a hard time keeping her mask on or thinks she is the exception to the rules even though there are several "mask required" signs at the entrance of the salon. read more

Came in for a last minute appointment with Heather, recommended by Celeste (who is also awesome) and it was AMAZING! I had gone from very dark brown (natural hair color) to blonde and in between, I had a fading of strawberry blonde tone. So, 2 months into the blonde I decided it wasn't for me and preferred the strawberry blonde. Heather was blew my mind!!! She tweaked all the coloring to my liking and it resulted in a gorgeous red head She even taught me how to take care of my curls! I had never seen my hair go from Sahara dry to silk soft in less than an hour Then, she taught me which products should be used for my hair, and will be going back in 2-3 weeks to get my roots and maybe some baby lights! In loveeee with the great hair technicians! The prices were amazing, and the manager plus everyone else are so nice, my favorite Dellaria Salon by far is the Brookline location They won't disappoint and treat you incredibly well!!! A before and after! (I didnt take proper moisturizing care for my blonde, so that's why it looked frizzy) read more

Dellaria Salons Brookline - Hair Salons Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

I came to Dellaria in Brookline looking for a new salon since I just moved here. I am a pretty basic client- long uncolored hair, and I just need layers touched up and dead ends cut. I made my appointment for 9am knowing they open at 830 so I wouldn't be opening the location. I arrived at 8:50 and the salon was dark. I thought maybe I had the wrong place and triple-checked my emails and texts where I got even more confused. The address in the emails says 332 Harvard but the business says 322. At 9:05 the receptionist ran across the street and let me in. She didn't ask my name or check me in at all so I awkwardly sat down in the waiting area and waited for direction. Then she started to straighten her hair at the salon chair right in front of me. I sat there for another 15 minutes until another girl walked in and completely ignored me. She went to the back of the building. 5 minutes later, she came out and asked my name, and escorted me to my chair. It was 9:20 when I finally sat down with no apologies about the lateness. The cut itself was okay but I asked for long layers and can confirm that I have ZERO layers in my hair right now. Id also like to add that the receptionist ignored two calls while she was straightening her hair. When I was ready to check out, I waited at the front desk for Sasha for another 3-5 minutes before she came in the front door with Starbucks. Like I said above, I am pretty easy about what my hair looks like and I have never complained or wrote a review about a bad restaurant experience but this salon experience was absolutely terrible and I won't be going back or referring anyone here. I understand people run late and that some requests are difficult to execute but all of these combined experiences added up were awful. A bad haircut is fine and I can live with it and give a salon another chance but the way I was treated here is unforgivable. A front-facing person for a business should not be as rude as Sasha was. This was quite possibly one of the worst salon experiences I have ever had. read more

Dellaria is the best! They create such a welcoming environment, are so helpful in choosing products, and continue to do a wonderful job in creating a safe environment amidst Covid. My hair stylist, Heather, is the bomb! She knows just how to cut and shape my curly hair as a trained Deva Curl stylist. She is the best listener, not only in terms of my hair preferences, but about my life overall! I cannot say enough about Heather and Dellaria overall! read more

Juliana is the best! I went in for a simple haircut to get rid of my super long hair for the summer. She listened to what I want, gave me suggestions on where to part my hair, and talked about dry shampoo options. I wasn't going to get a blow dry but she seemed so excited for my hair, I changed my mind and the blow dry results were great. The 4-star instead of 5-star is for the front desk person. It was my first time at Dellaria and she was not positive about offering the 20% discount. I had to ask and inquire more than I needed to. I did not like her attitude. It is $37.2 after the discount. She was going to charge me $45. I will return only for Juliana. read more

Great job by Tuyen. I have curly hair and it can be hard to find a hair stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. I got a quick consult with Tuyen, showing her photos of hair styles I liked. She was able to see me later that week and I am very pleased with the results. She taught me some strategies to help me keep the look going at home on my own. The salon had a positive, fun atmosphere. It is accessible via MBTA bus and subway. read more

Agreed with another poster that the online booking is great! Also, I was seen a few minutes early, which was nice. However, Dellaria does not accurately list the prices for each stylist on the website. They list the price for a cut and blow dry at "$45 & up," but when you book a stylist it should tell you their personal rate! My total came out to $50 (not including tip, which brought me to $60) for no rhyme or reason as I got an incredibly basic trim and quick blow dry. Be sure to call and ask what each stylist charges! I was sent to get my hair washed and I'm not sure who washed my hair as they didn't introduce themselves--the only thing they asked was if I wanted 1 or 2 washes. When they finished they moved onto the next person without a word--as it was my first time in the salon I didn't even know what chair my stylist was at and was confused about where to go. I tried to ask a question but they had already moved onto the next person. I felt totally ignored and embarrassed. My stylist, while they answered a few of my hair questions, was incredibly rough (it was quite painful at times) and walked away a few times without saying anything (such as "be right back"), leading me to wonder how long I would wait while they tended to another customer. It was irritating. My hair is challenging to style and I didn't pay the $15 extra to clean it up with a flat-iron as I could do it for free at home, but when I went to pay I was embarrassed in front of several people waiting when the receptionist asked me "who are you here to see?" and then quickly corrected herself to "who did you just see?" Clearly my hair looked like a disaster... I quickly put it up for the walk home and had to work on it for another 15-20 minutes to make it look presentable before re-emerging in public. If you're getting something basic, like a trim, I think it's well worth driving to the suburbs or going to a chain like the Hair Cuttery. $50 plus tip for an embarrassing unfinished product and painful experience makes me consider learning to cut my own hair. read more

Okay, I love that Dellaria's offers free bang trims for FREE (you're only required to pay tip). HOWEVER, I hate the uppity/snotty atmosphere. So what if I'm rolling into the salon wearing casual clothes? So what if I don't want to pay a zillion dollars to have my hair colored/cut nicely? I'm still a customer. The receptionist was SO RUDE, and was trying to speak as little to me as possible. Even when I went up to pay (well, ask for change), she was just chatting away on the phone, and didn't even bother to reply when I asked her a question. SNOTTY I tell you! On the bright side, my bangs turned out really nicely. Even though this particular receptionist was top grade itchy with a capital B, I would sadly return to get the same cut. read more

I went here about a year ago for a drastic coloring and a trim and I'm still not sure how I feel about the place, and if I'll be back. I have been going to the Hair Cuttery ever since. My dye job ended up being a double process because I was going from blonde to brunette, and I felt the stylist was very knowledgeable about what we needed to do. I also told her that my hair tends to pull red no matter what I do and I didn't want it red. At the end- it looked dark to me but days later I went on a trip and looked at pictures. My hair was totally Auburn. She had asked me if I wanted to do another level of brown because she wasn't sure but in that lighting it looked fine and I am not the one who is certified in cosmetology so what do I know. As far as the vibe of Dellaria, I didn't feel unwelcome. My boyfriend was there with me and ended up waiting quite a long time and they were very nice to him. The kicker for me- and possibly the deal breaker was this: I was under the drier for either my first or second round of color and I see my stylist walk by. 20 or so minutes later, she comes back with a Starbucks cup and her lunch. SHE LEFT HER CLIENT UNDER THE DRIER TO GO TO STARBUCKS. Now granted they were busy that day but she didn't tell me she was leaving or even tell me who to yell for if my head caught on fire. And she didn't ask if I wanted anything. Then when she came back she was coughing and made a huge deal about having a reaction to something and needing Benadryl. Super. The price was what I would've paid in Maine and this place is walking distance to my apartment so I might be back. But they could definitely use some training in customer service. Finally- in terms of accessibility it is NOT really handicapped accessible. You can get in the door where they keep the hair products and cash registers but then there are small steps to get to all the hair stations, so poor BF couldn't even keep me company when I got ditched under the dryer. Close Dellaria, so close read more

I've gotten my hair cut and dyed here by anna and she did a great job listening to what I want as well as color suggestion (I've never done a demi-permanent and it was perfect for someone like me who doesn't have time to keep up with it at all times). The star docking was more for the service desk. I was hung up on mid-sentence (both bookings) after she received my information. I have only had that happen when ordering Chinese take out. Aside from the rude service desk I've enjoyed my experiences here and found it to be a nice, laid back atmosphere. read more
