WORST SALON  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

first off, my appointment was at 2:30 they made me wait around until 3:00. Then they took me to wash my hair, the girl that was washing my hair left me with shampoo in my hair while she talked to a co worker about for 10min. Then I finally I sat down and waited for Nino to do my hair. He came over and asked me really unprofessional questions like, "do you have a boyfriend, when was the last time you were on a date, why did you break up?" Without even asking what my name was. He only spent 5 min cutting my hair then he had someone else blow dry it straight. The girl blow drying my hair got my hair caught in the blow dryer twice! She did a horrible job! My head still hurts from where she pulled my hair out. Nino didn't even layer my hair, even though I had told him several times. I've been to many hair salons all over the world and I have never been more disappointed. He even counted the tip right in front of me! I never wrote a review good or bad on anything but I feel like I should let people know that they are wasting their money if they go to this salon.

Fabulous Saloon  4 Star Rating - Very good

The atmoshphere of the salon is stylish yet comforting. The decor is clean and modern. The staff is professional, intelligent and welcoming. They work well as a team and it is evident and the hair styles they produce. Only things to consider is it is very expensive. You need to spend minimum $50

Too high  5 Star Rating - World class

Wow when I ever went in there and they told me to style my hair would cost me 60 I ran out because I can get it done elsewhere for 30. That was nuts o my you know it was a great place very highly respected but too high in price. Looks great to go there and have your hair doen but too high.

Dress to Impress!  4 Star Rating - Very good

Runway is a great salon if you are willing to pay approximately $100 for a simple haircut. The salon is extremely trendy with a European feel. The receptionists are extremely friendly and cater to your every need. The clients tend to be dressed to the nines for their hair appointment and that makes the scene a little intimidating.

Although it is extremely expensive, this salon is truly a luxurious treat! Just make sure you are dressed to impress when you go in....

Runway Salon is IT! 5 Star Rating - World class

If you are looking for a flawless haircut this salon is your first and last stop! I had my hair cut and colored and it still looks like I just stepped out of the salon. I was truly happy with my services and have never been more impressed. Lovely decor, fabulous people! Try Nino and/or Billy!

Pros: Staff is talented and knowledgable
Cons: zero

My Alltime Fave 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been to salons in Boston, the north shore and the south shore areas and this salon is my fave. I've had my hair done 2 times at this salon and I liked it both times. I would recommend booking an appointment with Hayley or Eric. Both have cut my hair there and both times I walked out of there happy with the way my hair looked and felt. The price was reasonable too.

Pros: price, salon, people, sanitary
Cons: parking

My Hair Is Amazing 5 Star Rating - World class

I had my hair done at Runway Hair Salon and it's really, really amazing!!!
I was adventurous and decided to go for a totally new look. Above shoulder length, with lots of long layers. (My hair used to be down near my waist). So happy I cut my hair!
Going back next month to get highlights. Can't wait!!! This salon has alot of promo offers and savings. I got a gift certificate offer for the next time I go back to have my highlights. This salon is worth trying. For sure.

Best Salon In Boston! 5 Star Rating - World class

How did I miss this salon? Absolutely loved my haircut at Runway! I have tried so many salons in Boston, up and down Newbury Street and have finally found a great stylist who knows how to cut hair! I'm not sure about other people's experience here but mine was great. My hairstylist was Nino. Originally I had booked an appointment to see Eric but he wasn't available. My hair looks the best it has ever been! I'm glad I tried this salon.

Pros: expertise, location, atmosphere
Cons: parking
