As a fellow designer, I can be highly critical of anything creative. It's part of my job to find fault within things that exist & improve upon them. Add to the mix that I've come to accept the fact that I'm fairly vain, and feel strongly that positive "personal packaging" is more than just a professional requisite, it's an emotional imperative. With all of that being said, please allow me to go on record as saying that Excel Salon, and more specifically, Donna Solari, is a true hair DESIGNER. Regardless of the services that you require, you will leave the Salon with your self esteem through the roof, ready to conquer whatever life throws at you.
***Want the short version? Donna has been cutting my hair for about 10 years, and for about 7 of those years I've been driving close to 100 miles for a cut + style from her -- since moving to the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border. She's just that good.
Pros: Newbury Street style - without the drive to Boston.
Cons: I wish that I lived closer!
