Richard is fantastic. It took me forever to find someone to cut my hair in a way that looked awesome for less than $50. Every time I did find someone, three months later, they would end up at a different hair salon far away, or for lots more money. Richard is reliable, his aesthetics match mine, and every time he disagrees with me about what to do with my hair, 2 days later I decide he was right.

I've been a client of Richard for several years. Followed him when the shop moved from Newbury Street, Boston to Somerville, MA. Highly recommend Richard - he listens to your preferences, makes suggestions, and delivers all the time! Highly recommend Richard at Back Bay Hair designs!

I had such a wonderful experience at Back Bay Hair Designs!! Richard listened to exactly what I wanted and -- importantly -- made suggestions of his own to give me a haircut that works well with my face. I usually dread haircuts, but Richard made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I've gotten so many compliments! Thank you so much!Service: Haircut

I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair— Richard never disappoints! I’m never good at articulating what I want but somehow Richard gets it and makes me feel and look like my best self. He’s definitely a hair guru.

I moved to Boston over a year ago and was terrified of seeing a new hairstylist as I have wavy/curly hair and have had stylists in the past butcher it. After reading the reviews, I decided to visit this hair salon. I have been a client of Richard's now for over a year and he does a BEAUTIFUL job. He is a precision cutter and clearly takes pride in his work.

Just had 10 inch cut by Richard and gave him a vague description of the style and length I wanted. He cut it to perfection! I would trust him with any kind of hair cut or styling.

Richard is a dang artist, he's an absolute wizard - what I mean is, he's great. Both Richard and John are welcoming, courteous professionals. I can't recommend Back Bay Hair Designs highly enough.

John Piazza is my hair stylist/colorist and he is awesome!! I have long curly hair and since making the move to Back Bay Hair Designs in 2013, I wear my hair down vs a ponytail!

I typically go to different places for my hair cut. I know how to communicate exactly what I want wherever I go and I always get more or less the same cut. So I came here and told one of the stylist what I wanted and he said he could do it and went to work. I take a really tight fade on the side and back of my head. The stylist who cut my hair took one size clipper and went all the way around with it. I wasn't sure if he was planning to fade it later, so I just mentioned "you
