Felicio was featured on the front page of the Boston Hearld some 20 years ago, that is when I started making the 50 mile trip to have my hair done. Sure over the years I have cheated on him and regretted it every time I looked in the mirror. He and his team are all experienced professionals who are always attending hair classes to further their knowledge. I read one review complaining of the price for a color, highlights and a cut I was $125, I come from Boston where that is the price for a cut without a blowout. Someone said they were not good with thick,curly, kinky hair, that is not what I have seen when I have been there. I have seen, Felico, Genevieve, Francisco, Leslie and Brooke work on all hair types and have amazing results. Martha runs the show and does an amazing job, my mother comes along and 9 times out of 10 wants to add something she is not booked for, cut, highlights, etc.. and Martha always makes it work so my mother is happy. Francisco is my colorist and he is amazing, always slightly changing the colors for the season so it looks natural. My only complaint is I put on a few pounds each time I am there, Felicio is always running to the bakery and bringing back fresh pastries for everyone in the salon to try and the nearby restaurants are amazing, have this as your diet cheat day. My recommendation is leave the city , head to New Bedford for the best hair experience you will ever have .You can have your hair done, go out to lunch and it will still be less than what you would pay in Boston for just a cut.
I had been going since the place opened, over ten years. They had amazing stylists, great prices, and I always felt beautiful when I went. But over years, all the great stylists I loved left, one by one...I'd call to make an appointment and each one "no longer worked there". The past few years it's really gone downhill, the stylists are inexperienced and never got my hair right. I left with dye still on my forehead and my hair was never what I wanted. One time my hair was FRIED, after highlights and instead of caramel highlights on my brown hair- they were orange. I called to see if they would fix it, and I got the feeling the owners wife would have told me no had I not mentioned how long I'd been a customer without a complaint...the only problem, to fix it, they had to cut A LOT of the fried hair off, I WAS TRYING TO GROW IT. It went from medium length to shoulder length.
Love this place. The employees treat u so nice u wont wanna leave the place. The best place to do your hair and for a reasonable price.

Love this place!! Particularly Liz, I call her the mad coloring scientist. After another place BOTCHED my hair so badly I came in wearing a scarf around my head, Liz went to work. She probably had to mix 8 different colors to fix my hair because it was so uneven, but she fixed it...and my hair only had to go through one process!! I absolutely loved it!!
If your hair type is thick( thick curly, kinky) type of hair DO NOT GO THERE. Not only do they not know how to work with that type of hair, they'll insult you by rudely saying that your hair is unhealthy and that they won't be work with your hair due too "possibly damages your hair already has". Honeslty if you work at a salon you should be able to work with all types of hair. This salon is not for you unless you have thin or pin straight hair.
I also have thick, curly hair. It's been a challenge to find someone who is skilled enough to cut it correctly. I love my new, wash and go hair!
The last straw was the appointment after that, I wanted the usual cut and color. One color, and cut- it had ALWAYS cost around $80 bucks. When I asked how much, when I again had dye on my forehead and "hot roots", I was told $125!!! That's how much I had been charged whenever I got color, highlights and a cut! I was so disappointed. I paid knowing I'd never go back. The hot roots were SO BAD, when I got home to RI...I had to buy box color that night to fix it because I didn't want to go to work the next day like that. Mind you I used to live in New Bedford but I had moved to Providence about two years earlier. It wasn't worth the call or drive, DONE.
