Kerastase is a luxury line and it is expensive. The cost to carry each product has gone up each year for the salon owner and that determines the price that we charge. We don't put a price on each product but we do have on the same shelves a framed list of each product and the cost. We are terribly sorry that you did not see this. But just to touch base on the subject of "cost ambiguity" no one should ever feel intimated to ask a price. Whether that be for a service or a product. If something is not clear that just might be because each client is different and therefore its hard to set a flat fee for everything. You can always ask your stylist, the receptionist or email the salon (for I Soci you can contact us through our website) for further clarification.

It should always be included in the price. If you are going to go to Newbury Street for a haircut, you are not planning to leave with a wet head of hair. I find the pricing structures shady on this wanna-be Rodeo Drive. $60 for blow out IN ADDITION to the outrageously high hair cut charge (dependant on stylist) at G2).

Will check out Salon Monet simply because they include the blow out. I am a current customer of Emerge and will no longer go there due to their prices and blow out costs!!

After reading this I realize you are mentioning some of your very own advertisers (past & present). I've worked on Newbury st. for 10 yrs. now 5 yrs owning my own salon (salon Monet) and with the recession going on I am very thankful that my salon is not affected and still going strong. I've trained @ Vidal Sasson, worked @ James Joseph as a Snr. Stylist/Colorist and still have clients from my cosmo school days and all I can say is some salons are very snuddy but not all, I am so into customer service/satisfaction that I wouldn't hire some stylist because of there eagles. we are small but professional and use the best in color & products but get no support from boston mag in-which I've advertised in for 10yrs. Soooooooo what's my point? What I am saying is stop looking over the smaller salons because bigger is not always better. It means fast money on Newbury St. And yes our cuts include blow drys Thank You.
