Best hair cut in ten years!
Mr. Marc Harris is just brilliant. He transform my helmet hair to somthing with lots of volume and texture, and it takes me five minutes to style my hair to perfection. My global search for perfect hair stylist is finally over ( yes, I traveled to LA and NYC to get haircuts from celebrity hair stylists)! Marc is the guy!!

Avoid if you don't want orange hair!!
It was my first time at this salon and i read all the great reviews and i googled as well:) I haven't colored my hair in 2 years due to wanting to get my hair healthy..My hair became very healthy and natural.. but i reallly wanted my blonde highlighted hair again:) I was extremely nervous and the girl was really sweet but i left w/ orange hair!! I am extremely upset and i will never recommend this place due to the fact my hair was such an easy thing to do.. no prior color or anything. I was told to try my orange color hair for a few days and if i still feel its orange come back.hahaha....the way i feel is .If you ruin my hair once i will never have you touch it again.. i hate ..hate my hair right now and i am scared to color it again b/c i don't want damage!! and i hate looking in the mirror.. its that BAD!! anyway if anyone reading this has a good colorist that maybe can fix this brassy/ carrot head (thats me) let me know:)

Not worth the money- The worst hair cut I have had in a long time
Don't go to Christina if you plan on keeping any of your hair!! Being new to Boston, I took a lot of time researching and looking into Salons and stylists. I heard of Salon Marc Harris through a friend and she recommended two different stylists to me. Although she gave me recommendations- I decided who to go to based on the Stylist profiles on the website. Christina looked like a good match for me- her profile states that she believes in classy/beautiful hair cuts. When I got there- she barely paid attention to me. She made me sit in the "massage" chairs while I waited for a shampoo. While the other stylists made sure their clients were comfortable, she was chatting it up with her other stylist friends. When I finally sat down with her- I wanted to show her some pictures of what I wanted- she kind of rushed me through these. She then started cutting my hair and informed that she would be "thinning it out a little bit" - she NEVER explained what this actually means. Needless to say- my once beautiful thick hair now feels ratty, dry and all of the shine is gone. It was ABSOLUTELY not worth the $70 dollars- I could have gotten a better hair cut at Hair Cuttery. When I called and complained she blamed my hair looking bad on my SHAMPOO!!!! I will never go back and I will never recommend it to anyone.

Overrated... Not nearly what I expected!
So I am new to Boston and I came on this site to find a good hair salon.I read the reviews and decided upon the Marc Harris Salon. I was very excited about all the rave reviews and I couldn't wait to get my haircut. Well when I get there I am greated by a receptionist that is very short with me. I am taken aback by this, as I had thought they would be more cordial. I write it off as possible snottiness which occassionally occurs at the top salons around the country. So I go over to help myself to a drink and all I see is hot drinks like coffee and tea, and it was blazing heat on the 3rd floor of this old building. I was going to ask the receptionist if they had anything cool to drink but with the way she greeted me I thought better of it. So I decide to forget it and just sit and wait patiently. My stylist greats me and is very nice. I tell them exactly what I want done with my hair and they seem to understand exactly. But as the cutting begins it does not look like they are doing what I asked but of course they are the stylist, the expert. I am not one to tell someone how to do their job, so I just sit there patiently. As the time ticks on I see my hair getting shorter and shorter. I end up having my hair cut at least 3 inches shorter than I had specifically stated. So now instead of my long hair that I came in with it is now nearly shoulder length, much shorter than the "trim" I had asked for. So I was not thrilled to say the least. I am not one to be a pain so I politely thanked the stylist and even left a great tip. On the way out the receptionist was again rude and abrupt with me. ** To top things off the electric went out 2 times while I was there and we just had to wait about 10 minutes each time for it to come back on. I must say all and all it was not what I was expecting and I am very disappointed. I would say this salon is average but I am only giving it 2 stars because for the status and the price it should have been a lot more than what it was.

Long Hair is Safe Here
I went today to see Lauren. I was nervous, because I have waist-length boring hair , which I have no inclination to change, and the past few years I have been to 'long hair specialists' in NYC. I also survived a number of hair nightmares between ages 10-17, so I know what I do and don't want, but am not too good at withstanding pressure. I've also been to numerous fancy salons.

Your long hair is safe with Genevieve!
Yesterday was my first visit to the salon, and I saw Genevieve. I was first pleased to enter a salon that was clean, trendy, and upbeat, but not at all pretentious for such a classy Newbury street salon. I was even more pleased to meet Gevevieve, my sweet, understandng, and talented hairstylist. She listened to everything I wanted, and gave me a beautiful color that was just what I asked for: a medium brown color with warm highlights. This trip was a big one for me in that I was to cut my middle-of-the back long hair a bit and get bags!! (longer swept-to-the side bangs). Gevevieve totally recognized my slight apprehension and walked me through everything. She also kept my long hair just where I wanted it: only an inch less than where it was when I walked into the salon. I definitely reccommend both Genevieve and the salon because of my great experience. I've already received a dozen compliments, and it's only been 2 days! Trust this place it you want to make a hair change in your life--it's a bit pricey, but you'll be so happy with the results.

Best Salon!
I went here for the first time last week and have finally found "the one!" I moved to Boston a little over a year ago from the west coast and have had the hardest time finding a salon that really caters to you and is up to date with the newest hair styles and techniques. I went to Genevive for a cut, color and highlights and it turned out perfectly. I also asked for advice on shampoos and conditioners and I did not feel pressured to buy products (I did anyway) and that was a refreshing approach.

Great cuts!
I loved the cut I got there! Especially as I wasn't sure in the beginning, you know how it can be: you have a general idea, but need a specialist to tell you how it can be done to become you. Rogue is that person! Got lots of advices too. Will definitely come there again. Been there at 12 pm, nice and quiet.

WARNING - terrible place - especially don't go to Janet Warner!
Please do not book here! I booked in to have my wedding party's hair done at this salon with the stylist Janet Warner, over three months before my wedding. I paid $300 for a trial and put a 50% deposit down for the wedding. Less than 3 weeks before the wedding, the salon called and said Janet had to cancel, because she had other plans. Three weeks before a wedding is not enough time to find someone else! And only after fighting with them and threatening a law suit, did they finally repay PART of the money, but not all of it! This salon and Janet Warner are completely unprofessional and unethical and terrible! Please don't make the same mistake I did!!!! If I could give this zero stars I would!

salons competing for wrong titles
Why is that hair salons that can't win their own catagory pretend to be barbershops to win a title that doesn't belong to them..... this a licenced hair salon not a licenced barbershop.....i wish hairdressers would stop pretending to be barbers...two different schooling techniques and licences ..... lets keep it real!

Best hair color - David Feener
I am a model in Boston and get my color done by David Feener. Often, at modeling gigs, people will ask me who did my hair and I'll tell them the name of the salon that styled my hair for the event - but what they really want to know is who did my hair color. I'm not sure how David does it, but someone he is able to get my hair blonde blonde blonde without bleaching it - my hair couldn't be any softer that it is. He's also the best there is at color corrections, and often tells me about clients who come in with bad color situations and how he totally fixes their hair. For top notch color, definitely trust your tresses to David Feener at Salon Marc Harris.

Fashion forward, engaged stylist...
I recently relocated to Boston from the midwest and found myself flying back to Chicago to have my hair done...I did my research and thought I would give The Marc Harris Salon a try and made an appointment with Genevieve. IF YOU ARE NEW TO BOSTON AND ARE LOOKING FOR AN AWESOME STYLIST, GO TO GENEVIEVE! I cannot begin to tell you what a great experience I had! Beautiful color and cut...long or short! Genevieve is great! Well worth the cost.

Super Soft Colored Hair - Best in Boston
I've been a bottle blonde for a while now, and when I moved from California, it took me a while to find a hair colorist/stylist. After trying a few other salons on Newbury St, I finally found David Feener at Salon Marc Harris. David is somehow is able to make my completely processed hair feel touchably soft and silky. Most people can't believe that my hair is acutally colored, because it looks and feels so healthy and smooth. Even other hair colorists are impressed by how light my hair is and how great the texture is. If you are interested in changing your hair color (or maintaining your new color), see David Feener so that you can have soft, unprocessed-looking/feeling hair.

I'll never go anywhere else
I've been getting my hair cut and colored at Marc Harris for over a year now and I would never go anywhere else in Boston! Lisa is a whiz with the scissors...I always walk out feeling rejuvinated. The atmosphere is trandy, yet unpretentious...and always comfortable.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair!
I was new to the city in September, and when I needed a cut and color I came right to citysearch. I found Salon Marc Harris and called that very day, and they were able to give me an appointment that SAME night! I was thrilled. They set me up with JACQUI who is so nice and friendly and AMAZING! She gave me the best cut and color i have EVER had! The prices are reasonable ($45 for a haircut and $45 for a single process color). And I am short and always have a problem with the sinks when they go to do the wash, but the sinks here are adjustable for your height, and the chairs in the wash section as MASSAGE chairs! great! plus, there is wireless internet there if you need to use a laptop while your color sets... everyone seems really friendly, but i definitely recommend asking for JACQUI... she's the best (she's been there for years and works different days at both locations)...Go here and you won't be disappointed!

Great price/cuts for a Newbury St. Salon
So it's not the most luxurious salon on Newbury Street, but for a high-end salon, the prices are fab. My aunt has gotten her hair cut for years by Yesi, and got me a gift card to try her out. I honestly felt a bit rushed by her, and she didn't try to talk to me too much. Her shampoo was great, though, and the products smelled so yummy! The cut itself was a bit more dramatic than what I hoped for, but I got SO many compliments on my hum-drum hair upgrade. For $45, it was definitely worth it.

Found Chris Kishfy!!!!
I finally found Chris Kishfy, he is by far the best colorist around. Every time he does my hair I feel a million times better about myself and get more compliments than I can handle! He's now at Salon Navid at 63 Park St. Andover 978-470-4704. I have nothing but great compliments to say about him and the service that he provides!

Loving My Haircut!
I am so completely happy with my experience at Salon Marc Harris! I was a little late and the front desk was very understanding and quite friendly. I took advantage of the Cut-A-Thon for Childrens Hospital. What drew me there was that haircuts were $40 (cut a thon price) and I've wanted to go there for a while, so I figured this would be a great opportunity. I was pretty sure I'd get a great haircut but I was SO incredibly happy to get one of the best cuts I've ever had. Anthony listened to what I wanted and incorporated that into what he knew would be the best cut for me. I'm just blown away with this cut! He took his time with me and really helped me with styling tips. I'm totally sure I can replicate the style at home. I'm very impressed with Anthony and will be a client from here on out and gladly pay $55 for a perfect cut.

Scalp got burned and started to flake after seeing Robert
If you have wavy, frizzy, dark hair, whatever you do, DO NOT get your hair colored by Robert, or even better, stay away from Marc Harris. A few days after my cut and color there my scalp started peeling off in chunks because he put sooo many different types of coloring products in my hair. He couldnt get the color right and kept trying different things, I finally had to put an end to it after the 3rd attempt. I also requested a haircut style similar to someone else who cuts hair at the salon and he proceeded to do something completely different. Horrible experience from the beginning (bitchy receptionist - he was on the feminine side, dark hair with blonde streets) to the end (horrendous color job + hair cut, burnt scalp, and lost $150 + tip and 3 hours of doing things to my hair).
