I have been going to George for a little over a year now, and I cannot say enough good things. I have naturally curly hair, and the pattern only came in recently. Several hairdressers have used methods that made my hair thinner and look unhealthy. I went to George explaining this and how I wanted my hair to be thicker, and he knew exactly what to do. He has improved my hair health, my confidence with my natural curls, taught me how to use a diffuser, and more. Highly, highly recommend!!

George is fantastic! I was referred to his salon by a friend as I needed desperate help with blonde color correction before my wedding. George was extremely thorough, meticulous about getting the best color possible and so generous with his time. My hair has never looked better. You can tell he loves what he does and that he's a color expert! George talked me through every step of what he was doing and consulted with me before highlighting and toning to ensure that I would be happy with the color. I cannot say enough great things about him and his expertise. He absolutely underpromised (to set appropriate expectations) and overdelivered. I will be going back to George for all future hair needs.

I had the most incredible experience at Salon George de Mello! George did a complete transformation on me, taking my hair from a dirty blonde to the most gorgeous, natural-looking red. I was especially nervous since I have virgin hair, but George was meticulous in ensuring the color was applied perfectly. His attention to detail and the care he gave to both my hair and overall salon experience were truly exceptional. Earlier this year, I had some less-than-ideal layers done elsewhere, and while they weren’t fully fixable yet, George worked his magic to make them look significantly better., and thoughtfully outlined a plan to bring my hair back to full health and beauty over time. George’s passion for his craft and his dedication to making his clients feel their best really shines through. I left the salon feeling not just transformed, but genuinely cared for. I will be going back and I can't recommend enough!

George was recommended to me by my sister who sees him for his color expertise. I do not color my hair anymore but I’ve been getting extensions since I was 18 years old. I’m 33 now— that’s a lot of extensions. I’ve tried every extension on the market and had never heard of nano laserbeam extensions until my sister mentioned them to me. I was immediately ready to try them since I had been using weft or tape ins for years and was always self conscious about the tapes showing. I don’t mind that people know I have extensions, but I do feel uncomfortable when it looks like I have scotch tape all over my head 🫠. Driving into the city for hair appointments feels overwhelming for me, but I went in for a consult and knew I was in the right hands. George underpromises and overdelivers by a long shot. He took his time with my hair, made sure it was perfectly installed, and blended the hair so beautifully and meticulously. I love that I can pull my hair back and braid it without worrying. Yes, George is a great hair stylist and has worked his ass off with continuing education, always staying up to par. But more notably, he’s an incredible human with and incredible story and everyone would benefit from knowing him. Wherever George is, I will follow!!!!!!!

Sal has kept my hair stylish and easy to maintain for at least 15 years! For color, no one has been better than Amanda! She is terrific at suggesting tweaks to my highlights to keep them interesting and looking great. This is why I keep going back! In addition to being talented, they are both sweet and wonderful people!

My hair looks amazing, i got my blonde touched up after not having it done for about 6 months and literally could not have asked for a better colour, cut etc. it was exactly what i asked for !! Got a bunch of compliments about it over the last couple days also !!

It’s all about excellence with this salon. I got delicate color and a cut that somehow looks good in a ponytail when you don’t have time to properly dry your hair. The color is so perfect and the cut makes my low-touch style look like actual style. I’ve been getting so many compliments about how I look, and the only thing that’s different is my hair. A thousand percent worth the drive up from the NYC suburbs. It’s right in the middle of Newbury street. If you have the opportunity, treat yourself to lunch and shopping and make a day of it.

I contacted George a few weeks ago about the combline method of extensions as I have the dreaded cowlick at the crown and my hair is fine. I have had k-tip extensions for years, but those can't be placed very high, and my goal was to better hide the extensions at the back/crown of my head using combline. George did combline for me about 3 weeks ago, and the results exceeded my expectations. George managed to successfully hide all extensions along the crown of my head, and also placed long layers around my face, something I have never had due to my own hair being shorter with breakage/thinning in this area. I am still stunned by how amazing my results are! I can now wear my hair down whenever I want to, and straight which wasn't the case before combline since if I was outside on a windy day I would be concerned my extensions would show, and I wore my hair curly or wavy most of the time since that better hid the k-tip bonds. I have received so many compliments on my hair. At about 3 weeks since the appointment, my hair still looks great with good retention. I also want to add that George is an extremely kind and compassionate person with incredible attention to detail. George, thank you so much for helping my hair look amazing and I look forward to working with you.

I am very satisfied with the service provided by the hairdresser, I think I will become a regular customer.

I first saw George for my haircut in 2012 and ever since he is the only one I trust my hair with. George is simply the best! He is very good at his job and can see what hairstyle looks good me . After every hairstyle my hair looked like a million bucks :) Even after moving to Connecticut I still drove to Boston to get my hair done by him! George is a wonderful person too, it’s always a pleasure to see him. I’ll miss that I can’t see him often after my relocation, but I think I’ll fly down to Boston just to get my hair cut by him !
