I don't often leave Yelp reviews, but needed to share here that V&O is absolutely fantastic. I've…read morebeen traveling for several months and really needed a full set of highlights and cut on my stop in Boston. After scanning previous reviews, I made an appointment with Olti. He put so much attention into my hair, specific issues, how it had been colored in the past, and I ended up with what I think is the best color I've ever had! My 20 year old daughter was with me and she agreed. Really beautiful highlights, toner, and treatment for my damaged hair. The cut was equally great. It's always nerve wracking to find a hair stylist in a new city and trust that it's going to work out ok, but Olti absolutely exceeded what I thought I might be able to find. Plus, he is a super chill and kind person to hang out and talk with. Ralphie the Frenchie who hangs in the shop was an added bonus. Definitely recommend making an appointment here. You won't regret it!

I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.

I called on a Tuesday night asking if there were any lunchtime appointments available during the week and he was able to book me for a 12:30pm appointment for the next day. I showed up to my appointment on time and waited a few minutes while he finished up on another customer, but a wait was expected since he's a one-man salon. I showed him a photo of the kind of long layers I wanted and he was able to provide without any issues. He also asked if I wanted to thin my hair since it's super thick in the back, which I appreciated, since I had forgotten that was an option after having not been to a salon in a while. Overall my session was about 40 minutes, which included the cut, wash, and blow-dry/styling. It came out to $48 (not including tip), which is his baseline for women's haircuts. I would definitely recommend coming here! Just be sure to call ahead because he doesn't take walk-ins.

Walking through the door you immediately have a sense of relief knowing the great care that your hair is in.

This fact is the mark of a masterclass hair stylist in my opinion.
