Great experience!

brought to you by

Citysearch

I heard about Shimon from a friend and decided to try them after I moved back from NY and needed a new salon. I was really pleased with my cut and color! I have hard-to-manage hair and my new cut is so easy to work with and looks great. The stylists were friendly and the salon itself was very clean. I will definitely be back!

this was the worst hair cut I've ever had. I felt like she just took her scissors and was cutting all over the place and didn't know what she was doing. she seemed as if she was in a rush. she kept using all these products in my hair trying to get me to buy them. i think she should be in sales rather than a hair stylist. i paid $70 for nothing which is horrible i could have done a better job... more

I tried to make an appt to see Julie. I was told she wasn't there, but Shimon himself said that he would do my hair for the same price that Julie charged (I get partial highlights and a trim), I didn't want to try it, but I was overdue, and I didn't know where else to go. He did a horrible job! He was really messy with the highlights, leaving huge blond dots all over my head. I ended up... more

There really isn't one piece of constructive criticism that I could offer about this salon. After years of trekking to Newbury Street, spending a lot of money and receiving a lot of attitude, Shimon Salon has made getting my hair done an enjoyable experience again. First of all, I found the atmosphere very relaxing (and spotless!). Secondly, I received the best color (thank you Erika) that I... more

The attention to detail and knowledge of hairstyling that Helen employs is paramount. She never rushes and and actually talks you through the methods she uses to make your hair the way you want it. Her key technique that stands out from the rest, is that she follows that patterns of how your hair grows and cuts the hair from those patterns. and especially for men shes great with the razor... more

Erika gave me the BEST foil and cut I have had in probably my entire life. I had the same hair dresser for 25 years and I left her to go to Erika, and it was WELL worth it. I have had so many compliments on my hair I feel like a new woman! Thanks Erika! See you in 6 weeks!

I have bounced from one salon to another trying to find a great hairstylist. I found one at Shimon Salon! Helen (she's relatively new to the salon) cut my hair and it was amazing!
