Great hair cut at this salon. I heard about this salon offering hair cuts for $25 so I decided to try it. Great cut. I'm happy. My shampoo massage was heavenly. Really relaxed me. Had a deep conditioning treatment that helped repair my hair. Definitely will go back again. Well worth the money I spent. Lovely salon.

My visit to Runway lived up to everything I wished it would. It was simple yet stylish, professional yet not too stuffy. I was really surprised at the attention to detail that was put into my hair. I received a great highlight and an even better cut. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit.

NINO IS AWESOME!

I went to Runway Salon for foil highlights and a haircut with Billy and Nino. This salon is the ultimate. Both Billy and Nino gave me professional advice and service. They both know alot about hair. You can tell they're experts. My hair color looks so natural and my haircut is excellent. My friends and family really liked my hair. When I told them I went to Runway Salon ...they actually... more

I recently got a hair cut from Nino at Runway Salon and I have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY HAIR! I am VERY HAPPY with it. Anyone looking for a new look should absolutely go and see him. I feel and look like a totally different person. I'm so happy I decided to get on the RUNWAY bandwagon.

Runway Salon is definitely where you should be getting your haircut. I almost didn't want to write this review for fear that Nino will get too busy and not be able to fit me in when I need an appointment (Ive been going to him for over a year now). But, I must give credit where credit is due! Like other reviewers have said Nino does a superb job. The salon itself is really impressive... more

Runway Salon is the best hair salon on Newbury Street! I was very happy with my experience there. I saw Nino for a hair cut (which I love, by the way). He did an excellent job in giving me a style that suits me and that is easy for me to maintain. The salon itself is really nice and relaxing. When I left the salon, I felt as though I had gone on a mini vacation. I really recommend this... more

After years of receiving and complaining about my bad haircuts, my friends finally had enough of it and demanded that I go see Nino at Runway. Reluctantly I went but did not have high hopes. I have to admit that I went into the salon that day expecting to receive an "o.k." haircut at a not so "o.k." price - but I was wrong. The attention I received from Nino was like nothing I have ever... more

Was a bit intimidated with the salon's location & interior, but my colorist Billy was SUCH a sweetie and simply one of the best artisans ever! He's your man for beautiful color.

Runway Salon is the best salon on Newbury St. I've been going there for almost a year now, and I have to say my hair has never looked better. I get so many compliments and have referred countless people to this salon. The staff is always so pleasant and attentive. Nino (the owner) is the best. His detail is amazing. Whatever you are looking for he will be sure to make you happy.

I have never been so happy with a hair cut. It never happens when I bring a photos of my dream haircut and actually walk out with it. I have finally found this rare experience at Runway. Nino gave me the best haircut ever. He also made valuable styling recommendations. I can't wait to go back.

Pros

+ Wonderful cut, Prompt

Cons

- Little pricey

Too much attitude - no service -

The only thing going for this salon is thier location. Other than that, from moment I entered the salon to the time I was in the owners chair, I was treated with too much attitude. My cut was not what I desired and the cost of the cut was outrageous. Do your homework before you go here.

Cons

- expensive, bad service

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

I got my hair cut a couple days ago thought it was okay, but nothing great I was expecting something spectacular and wanted a change, but I walked out with a shorter version of what I already had. Don't get me wrong it was a good cut, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. Probably will not go back.

Thank You!!!

I'm new to the salon experience. I usually cut my own hair or, at most, go to super cuts. Newbury St. kind of intimidates me, but I was sick to death of my hair and needed change!

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... more
