Naz Kupelian Salon

Naz and the crew are fantastic! I have been going to Naz for color/​cut for years and wouldn’t trust my hair with anyone else! I never even need to explain what I want done… just a simple ‘same’ or ‘something different, classy, sexy, whatever’ and leave it up to him. He never disappoints!

This is a month later after I visited the salon, I still love my haircut. I called on a Saturday morning and I got an appointment with Kelly, when I walked in it felt like a welcoming environment, everyone was friendly, Kelly was very professional listened to what I wanted and did a great job. Now it’s time for a trim and I’m definitely going back.

Highly recommend a visit here! I had a fabulous cut, color and style by Kelly. She is an awesome stylist, patiently listened as I described what I was looking for. She asked how much time I spend on it each day so she could factor what style to cut based on how much daily maintenance is necessary. The color is perfect, exactly what I was looking for! My style looks great, a much needed update and am still getting so many compliments over a week later!
I’m obviously partial to Kelly because of the awesome job she did, but the rest of the stylists created a salon full of happy customers! Even though he was busy with his own customers, the owner of the salon made sure he took the time to stop by and check in to make sure I was pleased with how my cut was going!
Easy parking and an easy to get to location.

Issues:
1. overprocessed, orange and yellow striped straw.
2. totally miserable haircut.
3. out of control eyebrows.
Solution:
Naz and his wonderful staff!
Naz LISTENED to me!
Naz started w/​a great haircut, spent a great deal of time explaining how he intended to treat the straw on the top of my head, and taught me how to blow dry my new ‘do’. Then off to have my eyebrows threaded-​I will never ever have them waxed again! Threading is almost painless, and afterward, there is no screaming stinging like a wax job. AND they look like real eyebrows, not something painted on.
A great experience all around.
BTW, Naz does not try to cram products down your throat!
BTW, also, there is parking, a big deal around here.

My maid of honor and I had our hair done by Wafaa and make up from Tamar for my wedding. They did a beautiful job! We looked amazing, beautiful and got many compliments. The hair and make up lasted through out the whole wedding. I highly recommend them!

My son wanted a simple hair cut with a hair cut machine and was expecting the price to be around $ 20.00. The saloon charged 30.00 for a simple boy’s hair cut. He didn’t have enough money and I had to go there to pay his bill. I would never recommend this place to no one.

It is unusual for a woman to stay with one hairdresser for 12 years and to be more than satisfied after each appointment. However, this has been my experience with Wafaa at this salon. As she cuts my hair she explains exactly what she is doing, this results in my being able to maintain the wonderful cuts and styles she provides. In addition she never recommends a product that she herself has not tried. This has resulted in my thick frizzy hair looking sleek even in the tropics.

After one visit with Azad I can say with confidence I do not think I will go to any other hair stylist. I had never dyed my hair before and was quite nervous. Azad suggested doing a lighter color to see how I liked it and I could go darker in the future. The cut and color exceeded my expectations. It honestly was the best haircut I have ever received.

My favorite salon in three states. It’s a fantastic family-​run salon. I absolutely love and trust Azad — he’s helpful and knowledgable. He has a no-​pressure approach and a fantastic eye.
I recommend this salon to everyone I know.

Went in for a color with the owner’s son Azad about a week ago. All of my friends have been complementing my new color since! I color my hair every 4 – 6 weeks and I’ve never received such a positive response from my family, friends, and co-​workers. I’m so happy with the color myself. He did an amazing job at lightening my super hard to lighten dark hair because it was already colored over. He did a great job of making sure my virgin hair roots didn’t come out lighter than the rest of my already colored hair. He also took the orange out of my hair that I got from being on an extended vacation, my hair has an amazing rich light brown color to it.
Also, I really like that he didn’t force getting a much needed trim on me. So in the end I asked him to trim the BARE MINIMUM of my dead ends and he did just as I asked. I hate when hair dressers go on a cutting spree but thankfully Azad cut only what was essential, a true rarity among hair dressers.
No complaints at all, highly recommended for a nice, rich color and someone who wont cut all your hair off.

Naz is a whiz with a pair of scissors. He’s simply the best. He can work from a picture and make it look great. Naz has his own line of products and also uses Rusk products. He is a rep for Rusk, working for them in their shows around the world. As a result, he knows his products inside and out, plus he keeps very current on hair trends. I came to him wanting an updated look, and I got it, without looking ridiculously teenaged. Naz instructed me on how to style my hair step by step, including which products to use and why.
Great attitude too, not a diva, doesn’t have an enormous ego. The staff is welcoming and helpful, led by Naz’s personable wife, Susan. His son is a stylist there as well. This is a family business run by nice people who know that great service is the key to success. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. And Naz runs on time. The staff will try to fit you in if you have a hair emergency. I have had my hair done by several Newbury St «Best of Boston» winners, and I recommend this salon without reservation.

Kathy is the best. Im always thrilled after my haircut and I can get away with not having to cut it for months. She is fun and its always like visiting a friend. Kathy deserves 5 stars but she has left Naz and is now at Michaels Hair Design in Winchester center. Didnt want to incorrectly give Naz 5 stars but didnt want to take away from their rating either. Refer my review for her on Unilocal under Kathy Troiano. Im glad I found her again!!!

I went to Naz at the suggestion of a friend who has been going there for a few years. I always find it difficult to find good hair salons because of my hair type-​it is EXTREMELY thick and has tight curls. I had Ahmad as my stylist– after I got my hair washed Naz actually came over to inspect my hair. He basically told Ahmad step by step how to cut it and handle it. Throughout my haircut I was extremely scared because at times Naz would come running from across the salon telling Ahmad that he was cutting it incorrectly. To my surprise it came out incredible– I absolutely love it. And im happy my hair was able to provide a teaching experience as well

I went to Naz Kupelian last year around August and I have NEVER EVER! had such a poor job done with my hair cut !!! Not only it wasn’t cheap but I was waiting for 30 min because my hairstylist was running late!!! It’s not only rude, but also unprofessional to make a punctual client wait so long and leave dissatisfy with the end result!
Any professional hair place would give you 10% OFF your service just for running late on you!
You guys should learn from them!!!
For those who consider going there, please save your $$$ and time, it’s not worth it!

I’m giving this two stars instead of one due to the amazing experience I had the first time I went there.
Like others have said, the first time I went there Demetria got my very unruly brows (I have to get them waxed every 3 weeks) waxed and shaped. Awesome experience and also thought I had found my «place» since I’m new to the burbs.
Today, I had a 9am appointment which was apparently the first appointment of the day. I arrived and they said the person, I think it was Lisa, was running a few minutes behind. No big deal. Finally after much running around and phone calls, the owner (I think) came up to me at 9:20 and said that «Lisa» had called in. There was no one there to do my brows. I was then asked if I wanted to reschedule. That’s it.
I know things happen and I’m an easy going person. But it seems like this salon should have a backup plan in mind or at least be able to call ahead if they have to cancel. I was not offered any incentive to come back again, like half off my next appointment or anything. Not a good customer service experience at all. It is really a shame because this place does a great job – but I’ll have a tough time considering returning to this place.

Demetria has just given me the brow shaping of a decade!
I’ve become so waxing, threading, tweezing shy from far too many sweet yet woefully untalented that i shamed my own face for months over risking another fail.
This gal… This gal is an exhale.
Her manner is inviting, direct, grounded and kind. She tells you what you need to hear with out sugarcoating and free from bitterness. Her eye is intuitive and accurate, her conversation relevant and uplifting, her touch is quick, smooth and so gentle.
I barely knew she was touching my face much less uprooting hair from it! Amazing. Finishing with a gentle temple rub that set the rest of the day right… yeah.
She gave me the foundation shape best for my face and I feel a good number of years brighter (and not a paycheck lighter for the value of her expertise).
I’m lazy in vanity and über frugal on upkeep– yet I left feeling pretty ;-) and encouraged to maintain her good work.
Brava!

I have been to every salon in this city from Newbury Street to Wellesley and nothing comes close to Naz Kupelian Salon in Lexington. Their staff is highly skilled, attentive and extremely friendly. They really listen to what I wanted and yet they were very honest. If you don’t need a color they will advise you otherwise but they will always do as you ask. It pays to listen to the professionals. They are the experts.
Will never go anywhere else, this place is the BEST there is!

Tamara is the guru of eyebrows.
A friend told me to go to her, because everyone was getting sick of looking at my unruly brows so I went and she truly made my face look different for the better.
My first experience with threading too.
Honestly, it’s amazing how brows can make or break your face, with Tamara she finds the best shape for your face.
Do your face a favor and get your brows done here. She is there on Fridays.
oh and fyi tips can’t be put on your credit card

UPDATE 7÷9÷2011: I got to Tamara religiously now, she only works Fridays and she is an amazing threader! I switched from waxing to threading.
And now I use Jen for my hair here. She rocks!
Original review from 2009: I second and third and fourth the opinions about Tamar for eyebrows. I think she only works on Fridays. Cost is $ 20. I’ve never paid more than $ 10 for a wax before but this place changed my mind.

I have been going to Kathy for about 7 years now and every time I come out of there I feel like a rock star. She knows exactly how I like my hair and even sometimes offers to try a new technique that was learned at a recent hair show and I am happy to help out! The prices are great with the experience that you get and the great cut/​color/​style its well worth the money!
Plenty of parking as well which is great, a lot of other places I have gone to in Boston lack that aspect and charge way to much and have horrible stylists!
Ya Kathy!
