Louis Du Gal

My husband and I both go to Georg and wouldn't think of going anywhere else! I get highlights and color and receive so many compliments, right up till it's time to go back and get my roots done! Strangers will comment on how beautiful my color is, I guess that's why they are award winning! I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair and all the girls that blow-dry my hair are amazing at making it stay nice and straight, even in the highly humid Boston summer months! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment to see for yourself! more

I was on a search back in 2007-2008 for a new hairstylist/colorist. I have been to so many who charge too much and do too little. Or are just too bored/apathetic to put any effort into it anymore. I've been to Newbury Street and didn't get what I paid for - except attitude. So I took a chance and went to Louis Du Gal after looking around the internet and seeing some good reviews on City Search. I got booked with Erin, and when I sat down with her, in April 2008, she was patient and listened to me. My hair had grown long and a bit shaggy. She gave me a cute cut that was a bit shorter than I had first asked for but when I looked at it, loved it and thought she had good foresight to go for it. Then she did color for me, whoa! LOVED it! She has highlights down so well! I love it even more now that she suggested some lowlights on the reddish side with my blond highlights for a more natural, less processed look. Looks very professional. The one time I thought the color was lacking, I told Erin and she went out of her way to re-do it to my satisfaction without even a hint of attitude, not even a slight eye roll, and of course she didn't charge me. I usually have a 2 year rule with hairdressers, after 2 years it's time to find a new one because they usually start to get complacent. Not so with Erin at Louis Du Gal, I will continue to go out of my way to Newton to see her. And if she leaves, I will follow her to her next salon. more

Extremely pleased with the varied professional services provided by the friendly staff at Louis Du Gal! More importantly though is the personal rapport with my stylist Sam who has been keeping me trim and in style for twenty years. One of the best in my book. more

After looking for a long time consistant hairdresser, I finally found one at Louis DuGal. Crystal gave me the best color and cut I've had in ten years. I'm very satisfied! more

The worst haircut for which I have ever paid. Worse than the free one I received after being drafted into the military. A clipper queen named Crystal hacked me so that I now resemble a lopsided porcupine. Abysmal. Pros: perfected the prison cut Cons: criminally bad haircut more

I knew a girl I worked with whose hair always looked gorgeous. I asked her who did her hair, she said Erin and she would never go anywhere else. Well it worked for me too. Everyone keeps asking who did your color? It is streaky, which is what I love about it. It doesn't grow out with roots. Can't wait for my next appt. I just love my hair!!! Pros: I got my hair done early August and it still looks fabulous! more

While I realize the quality of a haircut can vary even within the same salon, the hair cut I received was awful espcially now that it has grown out-I'd skip it and go elsewhere Pros: Nice salon/staff/good location Cons: Hair cut not worth the price more

I visited Louis Du Gal for the first time. I asked for a simple cut and summer highlights. Yet, they were unable to do this. They made extremely amateurish mistakes and even the highlights were very streaky. I felt like I must have been the first customer the stylist ever had... I tried to tell the stylist during the process that my hair did not look right and she basically ignored me. I held back my tears. I had to go to another salon to correct the mistakes. This salon is a joke! Never again! Cons: Terrible stylists more

When I was a kid, my parents tried the Flowbee on me. I think they thought it would be fun! Suffice to say, it was not a good hair cut. The flowbee haircut though was amazing compared to my haircut from Louis Du Gal! I know the staff is young, but it was the worst haircut I've ever had! The owners also creep me out. I've been to high-end salons in Boston and numerous other cities before and this is more like a low-end barber shop. Go at your own peril! more

I had the Keratin Smoothing Treatment with Kady over 3 months ago, and I am still loving it! My hair is still much straighter than usual with NO frizz! Pros: Great process, awesome stylist more

Very friendly staff, but all very young. I got color and a trim here. The stylist was unable to cut my hair as it had been previously styled and went against my color wishes. In the end, my hair looked great. BUT, it could have gone so wrong. I would inquire about the stylists ability and techniques before he/she starts and make sure the color is agreed upon. I would go back here though. The price was reasonable and I had a fun day in the salon. more

I am so happy to have found such a place as warm and welcoming as this one. There is no attitude whatsoever. I leave this salon not only LOOKING (much much) better, but actually FEELING better as well :-) My stylist's name is ERIN. She's funny, talented and she knows what she's doing! I'm even able to stretch the time between my visits since her color and cuts grow out so well. I'm Already looking forward to my next appointment... Pros: Thumbs Way Up! Cons: What Cons? more

I have been geeting my hair cut from Louis Dugal's Hair Salon for 4 years, and have had my hair cut by one of their best stylist's, Kady. Kady is an experienced stylist who has excellent skills and is a warm, compassionate person who truly cares about you. I love chatting with her and she always books an appointment for me, even at the last minute. I highly recommend her for male and female customers, as I am one of her male customers. Pros: friendly, eager to please, and always welcoming Cons: non I can think of more

Everyone in this salon, is so great. They are so nice to be around, they are talkative, and they listen to what you really want. I see Crystal Caruso, she has been doing my hair for years. I love her. She has colored, styled, and cut my hair in so many different ways its amazing, and everything that she did came out wonderful and I loved it. I highly recommend her and everyone there in the salon. I will never change hair salons ever. Try it, you won't regret it. You'll love it. more

I have been a client of this salon for a year. Before that, I had been on an eternal search for ""just the right place"" . As soon as I had my first appointment here, I knew I did not need to look any further. Erin has been my stylist and colorist. She is an artist who takes the time to make sure you are 100% satisfied. I am so glad I continued to search and found this place! Everyone is very helpful. Dora, Martha, George, and all the other staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and sincere. This place cares about their clients! I can compare it to those awful other places I had gone to...with $100 haircuts that take 3 minutes, rushed service, the hard sell by the staff for expensive products, long waits, inferior hair products, etc etc. None of that here at Salon duGal!! Pros: Highly professional staff Cons: weekend / evening parking sometimes tight more

I love coming to this salon. George does my hair. He is so welcoming, really listens to what I want, and consults with me to get me the best final look. I swear that I get compliments for several weeks following my appointments here. I am a huge fan! Pros: Expert staff, variety of services offered Cons: Parking can be challenging, but if you get to the lot behind the building, not a big deal. more

Erin has done my color twice ( multidimentional highlights) now and both times it came out perfect. Exactly what I wanted. She really has a gift with color. She also cuts my daughters hair and has done a fabulous job. By far the best cuts my daugher has ever had. Erin really takes her time with cuts and color and does and awesome job. She is also a really sweet person to chat with. Kudos to Erin!!! more

I've seen Erin twice now for multi-dimensional highlights and she's done a fantastic job both times. And I love that the salon owner has his two yellow labs there hanging out! Pros: great color Cons: Parking can be tough, A bit pricey more

george has a great eye for color and is excellent! Pros: skill, listens, great color results Cons: price is going up more

I've never been one of those women who's had a regular stylist, until now. Everyone who works here is really kind and helpful, never snooty. I've had so many compliments on my hair since having Erin style it. In addition to hi-lighting and cutting, she's also the first person who's ever been able to blow-dry my hair ""the right way""... I highly encourage you to try this salon if you're looking for something different and special! You'll be happy you did! Be sure to ask for my stylist, Erin. She'll make you look AND feel BEAUTIFUL! Pros: parking, convenient, bright more
