Salon One of Wellesley

I went in to Salon One after reading all the positive reviews online. These reviews were SPOT ON! I had Robin fix my hair after someone else added a red-​ish color to it and my hair was totally uneven! I am so happy with the results and will definitely be going back! There is some parking, which made it so much easier to pop in after work. Everyone in the salon was warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this salon.

Love Salon One! Maria undoubtedly gave me one of the best salon experience I’ve had. I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted. I had a couple of pictures which I thought were similar, until Maria quickly and expertly pointed out the differences between them, and told me how each option would look when styled my usual way (with a wand). After the quick consultation we decided what look to go for and she got to work. I couldn’t be happier with my results, she knew what I wanted even when I couldn’t articulate it and it was obvious that she cared about her work. I would recommend Maria to anyone and everyone :)

Salon One in Wellesley is outstandingly phenomenal. Ms. Robin Carman is the best hair stylist EVER! She fixed a terrible ombré that had been done to my hair at a previous salon. She took her time, she cares about her clients, and she just does an absolutely amazing job. Everyone at Salon One Wellesley was kind and accommodating as soon as I walked in the door. I have already book two future appointments — I cannot wait to go back!

This salon is fantastic! friendly professional staff, very easy location to find and park. Bonnie Flemming was my stylist and gave me the most wonderful blonde highlights and cut! She also had some extra time and put some curls in my hair, which looked amazing! I left feeling a million bucks!

Having naturally curly hair (type 3B), I had been debating for several years over whether to try a Ouidad cut. Posed with the need to find a new hair stylist after recently moving to the area, I decided to give it a try and booked an appointment with Karen Winters at Salon One. I was a bit skeptical of the «carve and slice» & «shake & rake» techniques, and to be honest, I felt my hair only looked OK when I left the salon, but I’m NEVER happy with the way anyone else styles my hair… that’s just me. When I washed and styled my hair on my own the next day, it was exactly what I had hoped for and the compliments keep coming. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is that the price for the cut seems a bit high. Luckily I only need to come in for a cut every other month or so. Karen was very personable and knows what she’s doing. She has definitely earned my business going forward!

I’ve been seeing Lili for facials and eyebrow waxing going on fifteen years now! She does an amazing job and I’m always 100% happy with the outcome! She is the only person I trust with my eyebrow care! I love her skin care products and chap sticks! I would recommend Lili to anyone she is the best!

Nice people, nice salon, good parking, great stylist. Thank you Joanne for fixing the horrible cut done elsewhere.

Lili at Salon One is great. My experience with her was very pleasant. She did my first brazilian bikini wax and my eyebrows. she made me feel comfortable and my eyebrows were beautifully shaped. And I will only go to her from now on. I highly recommend her services.

I was referred to Tara O’Brien @ Salon One Wellesley by an old neighborhood friend. I have been bouncing around to all the salons in the area. I have finally found my new home here with Tara! I loved it! By far she is the most sincere, professional and very talented hair stylist. She knew how to transform my washed out blonde hair into a beautiful natural blonde hair color. Her haircut was just great !! I will most definitely referring all my friends to her! The added bonus was that every time I refer someone to her I get 25% off my next services.
Great salon atmosphere!

This salon is great! If you are looking for a Ouidad cut Maria is wonderful! I could not be happier with the haircuts I have had here!

I always leave Salon One with great results. The front desk person is always super nice. And I love that I’m always colored, cut, and on my way in less than two hours.
Yet I have mixed feelings. One time, after my stylist foiled me, an assistant washed me and then sent me to the corner of the salon behind some mirrors so I could blow-​dry my own hair. It was really weird.
The salon is busy busy busy with lots of chatty stylists flitting about. There’s never the feeling of being pampered. And it’s expensive. But their skills are so good that I end up looking great, and I guess that’s what matters most.

Salon One is a fantastic salon! I’ve been going to Bonnie for years back when she was at the Color Studio. The same owner who opened Salon One founded the Color Studio (Paula) and she brought all of her best stylists over when she opened Salon One. Bonnie is the BEST colorist I have ever gone to and I’ve been to A LOT!!! She is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet! I screw up my own hair sometimes by playing with the scissors in between cuts and she is soooooo patient with me and laughs it off. The other huge benefit of Salon One is that if Bonnie isn’t available when I need a cut or color, Paula is my back up and does an equally exceptional job. My work/​travel schedule is very crazy so I never know when I’m going to have time to fit my color/​cut in.
People compliment my hair color all the time by telling me how «natural» and «healthy» my hair looks. The people who work at the front desk along with the team that washes your hair are all so nice and the place is very efficient! Great team, great ambiance and great service.

Diana is AMAZING. I haven’t lived in Wellesley, or the Boston area for that matter, for 7 years, but she is still the only one I go to for color and cuts. I come home to see my parents and Diana (in that order). She is incredible at color, always knows both what I like but also what will look best on me and isn’t afraid to tell you that you may not be making the right decision. Every time I leave all I get is compliments on the color and how natural it looks, no one ever thinks I get it dyed and highlighted. If you’re looking for a great color and cut in the Boston area, go to Salon One. Every stylist is talented, friendly and just all around great. Lily also does great waxes for anyone looking for that as well.

My girlfriend really likes this place for their spa services (massages, etc). If you’re looking to do Botox (we are not) I just saw a really good deal on CoupFlip that works at this place. It’s a groupon that they are reselling. Check it at:
Also, if you’re looking for a cut, Diana was really great!

My favorite stylist Jen Raymond, who I followed from Ardan Salon, also in Wellesley, just began working here. So I was interested to try out Salon One. I was delighted from the moment I walked in. Happy, smiling people greeted me at the door and walked me upstairs. Jen works in the upstairs loft addition, and it’s a different type of setup for a salon. Separated but connected. It’s adorable, small yet cleverly designed. It’s calm yet fun. All the other stylists seemed so happy to be there, and I think that speaks volumes about a salon. As usual, Jen worked her magic and I walked out feeling a million times better. The color has lasted, her cuts grow out beautifully. She takes her time. You can tell she loves what she does. I’d follow her anywhere, and I highly recommend her.
Another plus, parking is free.

Best pedicure ever by Lisa. She took her time and did a fabulous job. Never going anywhere else!

I was afraid that going to a salon in Wellesley would mean that the employees would be snobs, but that is not at all what you get at Salon One. You get Newbury St color and cut, without the attitude and without parking tickets! I go to the owner, Paula, and she is always up on the new color techniques. She does the deep, deep conditioning treatments at a fraction of the cost at other salons. I just love how real everyone is in the salon — it reminds me of Steel Magnolias in the sense that there is laughter and real conversation. Plus, you leave looking just amazing!
