Literally the day after, after trying to style it it to gaslight myself into thinking it looked good!
Nathalie L.

I asked for even a portion of my money back and they said they'd "pass that on to management." They also said I'd be contacted by management. Instead they had the stylist call me. While kindly offering to fix my hair, she also continuously spoke over me and talked to me in a condescending manner. She said she feels she got the accurate results and that she stands behind this work. I told them I'd still like a call from management but I'm sure they'll just ghost me after this. She says that the other stylist I consulted with after are wrong about my hair being over processed. Her other work is amazing... don't really know why it's so hard to admit you just didn't do a good job. We all mess up. Humble yourself. Don't waste your money here, especially since it's not guaranteed you'll get it back if they mess up. Seriously, don't go. Update: LOL at them trying to bury my review! Incredibly arrogant people working here. Reshared a review of someone that had a similar experience. I wish I'd seen it sooner.

after!!!

Amazing service! I came in as a new customer for Colleen, looking for a trim with lots of layers. Absolutely got what I was looking for! She was very patient, very willing to make adjustments based on what I was looking for, and so accommodating overall! The haircut was efficient but didn't feel rushed at all, and the salon is beautiful. I came in pretty early in the morning, so it was nice and calm inside, not too busy!

Fresh root touch up! White hair by Leslie at Viselli Salon

I've been going to Leslie for years! She's incredible at getting my hair to the platinum white that I love so much! She's also done weave-in extensions that look so natural. I appreciate the steps she takes to minimize the damaging effects of lightening my hair - such as using cotton on my scalp during root touch ups, recommending hydrating hair products from the salon, and recommending high quality brushes from the salon. If you're new to the platinum blonde life - lightener is damaging to your hair, but there are things you can do to mitigate most of it. Leslie is a real master at platinum/ white hair - please take her advice if she says to do only a few levels at a time, especially if you have other color dye in your hair! I've been on the platinum journey for 8 years - it doesn't happen over night, but Leslie is the only colorist I've ever known to be this skilled at blondes and always going the extra mile to make sure my hair is as strong and healthy as possible!

I am so relieved to have found this salon!! I am very particular about my hair and have had some challenging experiences at other places. However, I have been going to Cristina for the past three years and every time the results are amazing! I have level 5 dark brown hair and Cristina foils it to a beautiful, natural blond that grows in gracefully and has actually gotten substantially longer! In the past I had so much breakage and I could never get it as long as I wanted - and now it is down to my bra strap! Also, Cristina has been giving me keratin treatments twice a year and it has made a HUGE difference with styling and battling the summer frizzies. Now I don't have to heat style as much and my bangs don't curl up even with ocean air or light rain! I even drive 90 minutes to get here, that's how much I love this place!

I asked to for blonde highlights to cover grays ‍
Rebecca K.

I feel as though I need to share my experience. While the salon was nice I spent over $400 for highlights + haircut and it came out like this you know it's bad when the hair stylist took a picture of my before and NOT MY AFTER. In their defense they offered to fix it for free when they called to ask if I was satisfied with my appointment but I just couldn't get myself to go back after paying that much and I felt it would be very ackward. Just be warned.

Haircut by Jenn
Sinny S.

This review is for haircut only. I was running errands yesterday (Mon, Nov 29th) and decided to stop in to see if Viselli had time for a haircut. The receptionist was really kind & accommodating and found a hairstylist (Jenn) that fit me in last minute. I absolutely loved Jenn, she was very professional and made me feel comfortable right away. I love my fresh haircut! The salon is super clean and covid protocols are in place which I appreciate very much. This was my first experience with the salon, but it won't be my last!

I'm going to post this here because I want to warn others of my experience at Salon Viselli. I went in on 9/3 to have a cut and color before I left Boston (I'm a travel nurse), I was also taking a much needed vacation to Las Vegas that I was much looking forward too. The service I requested was a touch up all over color of a chocolate brown and a very light trim. I was informed by Stanley my stylist he wanted to do a "double process." I wasn't completely sure of what this entailed but he said it was to "remove some of the old color to make this come through." Mind you my hair was already dark brown and there is no real difference in my hair now after this accept I have streaks of copper that he didn't get color onto and my entire head looks like an uneven color not a nice chocolate dark brown. "Dusting the edges" that he agreed on apparently meant taking off over an inch and leaving my cut very uneven. I bought their salon products to repair my hair because it was VERY obvious my hair had damaged as he fought to "blow it out." I am also using multiple products to attempt to repair my hair including: smoothing Pureology shampoo/conditioner/and hair mask, Moroccan oil, Kenra Blow dry spray and heat protectant, it's a 10 leave in treatment and the Kevin Murphy restore I bought at Viselli. I thought this would help my hair and I was patient before calling to discuss my concerns with the wonder Cristina. Unfortunately it became clear as my hair was falling out that this was not repairable. It should have been an indicator when the first time 2 days after my appointment I washed my hair and a chunk literally fell out in the shower. I called Cristina and explained to her I left Boston on 9/9 but wanted her to do something to correct the issue. I even offered having her help me find a salon in Minneapolis (where I moved to next) and offered for her to speak directly to the stylist there to get their opinion so she would know my concerns are very valid since I couldn't physically come back to her salon. She requested I send her pictures of my hair. I did and since that I have called her 4 more times and left messages and she is just ignoring me and most likely avoiding me. I have since contact my bank to dispute the $350 I paid this salon to RUIN my beautiful long brown hair. I will be contacting the BBB I will be contacting the Massachusetts board of cosmetology because this can't go unnoticed. I literally spent my last night of vacation in Las Vegas in my hotel room because I couldn't stomach blow drying and styling my hair, I couldn't stomach more hair falling out and I surely wasn't going to go out with my friends with my hairstyle of my "air dried hair" trust me, my natural drying hair isn't one you would call a "hairstyle." I've cried over my hair and I now refuse to go out because I refuse to touch my hair until the damage has repaired. This salon is not well trained, over priced for the service you walkout with and the owner lacks any professionalism to addressing someone's hair that's absolutely DESTROYED!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND going here!

Blonde hair with extensions

THE place to get your hair done in Boston! Come see Leslie (@BlondeandBronde), she's fabulous and specializes in lightening treatments and extensions. Here are some pics from my latest appointment with her where we did a double process and extension installation. Since working with Leslie, my hair has never been healthier -- despite all the bleach! She really does it right.

I've been on a Yelp hiatus but felt the need to come back and post a review because my experience here was SO GOOD. Some main points: Safety: Salon has all the right Covid precautions- hand sanitizers everywhere, partitions between booths, everyone wearing masks, temperature check, and you wait outdoors on the benches for your stylist to come get you. I came on a Thursday noon and the salon was spacious enough (plus not as many patrons) that I felt very safe. Service: Receptionist was very friendly when checking me in and getting my temperature, and even gave me a goodie bag of products when I told him it was my first time here! Got me checked in very quickly and didn't have to wait long for my stylist. Okay, now let me take some time to rave about Constantina: I went in not really knowing what I wanted exactly, I just knew my hair was NOT looking cute after months of quarantine (and grown out DIY bangs, oof). I told her a few things I didn't want, and that I wanted to keep my length. She took a look at my hair and immediately was able to point out parts that needed fixing, and work with me to come up with a "game plan": long layers, blunt ends, and face framing pieces. She walked me through all the products she used, each step of the haircut, and showed me exaxtkhow much she was cutting off so I wouldn't freak out about accidentally going too short. Honestly, this kind of communication makes a HUGE difference, and Constantina is a pro- you can just tell. I was in and out of there in under an hour (blowout included). It's the first time I've ever let a stylist have free reign of my hair and I couldn't be happier! It's like she read my mind (which is amazing because I didn't even fully know what cut/style I wanted!) Definitely coming back again before the holidays to get another haircut from Constantina. 10/10 absolutely would recommend!

The work is impeccable to a level that I've been stopped by more than one stranger on the street post appointment. They have fantastic pricing and easy booking but what really sets them apart for me is the personalized and comfortable experience in the chair. I've been in salons where you can clearly tell you're their hundredth appointment, they aren't listening to you, they just want to get it done and worst of the staff don't get along with one another. That's not ZenaRose. Every staff member at ZenaRose genuinely gets a long and helps one another out; creating a wonderful atmosphere to spend what is some times more than an hour or two for an appointment. I connected with Kelli on my first visit and no matter what time or day I have booked with her over the years she makes me feel like I'm the only client she's seeing. She is kind, fun and her attention to detail makes me feel so confident when I leave her chair. I had my first every professional make up done by Yuliya today and WOW! I went in with no pictures and stunned with the results. As someone who has never gotten their makeup done I wasn't sure what to expect. Yuliya made me very comfortable, most notably making sure to pause to let me blink while she was doing my eye make up. I hadn't even realized I needed to blink and she's pausing for my comfort. Will definitely be back. Last note on booking, I called ten minutes before they closed the night before I needed a morning appointment. Fully expecting that a Saturday morning in late Feb would be booked solid, I got a call back in less than 10 minutes saying they had worked something out and it's all booked. No matter who you chose at ZenaRose you're going to have an incredible experience.

She styled my hair with a flat iron but I was still charged for a bouncy curl blow out which I didn't feel was the same value. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience.
