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.

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!

I decided to book a haircut and blow-dry with Armando Cassano because of the good reviews but that…read morewas a big mistake. I showed him a photo of the bob I wanted but he said it wouldn't work for my hair and that he knew what to do. My mistake was putting my trust in him. Instead of communicating exactly what his idea was, he cut my hair extremely short. He may have been right about my hair, but I don't know because he didn't give me the opportunity to see how the bob I wanted would look. It was very unprofessional of him not to tell me how drastically his idea was different from mine. He also didn't blow-dry my hair, so once I left the salon and it dried it was even shorter. But it gets worse. He cut my NECK. He slid the scissors along my neck and left a long cut. He didn't apologize or even acknowledge it. I wasn't bleeding so at the time I thought it was a little nick. But at home I could see how long it was and the stinging kept me up that night. My doctor said I would have needed a tetanus shot if I wasn't up to date. I called him the following day and his first response was "I noticed it when you came in". I was shocked at how easily he lied, but I guess he was prepared to do so. I told him I was worried about infection and he tried to assure me that the scissors were clean. Then he said, "You didn't see it when I gave you the mirror." (Which is true because I wasn't wearing my glasses). So, which is it, it already existed when I walked in or it was there but I didn't see it? Armando is the most dishonest and unprofessional stylist I've ever seen and he obviously doesn't care about his customers.
