They are the best ever. Nothing else compares as far as I'm concerned. Umi Salon is the very best - great stylists - great service - I'll be going back for sure. (more)

I have a brand new look that I love. The atmosphere was so nice and everyone very helpful. I love the Umi hair products! The best hair cream I've ever used. (more)

Founded by award-winning stylist Jeffrey Dauksevich and popular with local models and artists, Umi has received national acclaim. The salon's sleek, ultramodern loft reflects its commitment to modern style... (more)

I had what can only be described as a total hair makeover at Umi Salon. What's noteworthy is that I had no expectation of having a total makeover. I've never, ever had a better haircut in my life. They have their own... (more)

I had the worst hair cut and salon experience here of my life! The teacher was a dictator, and I wish I had gotten up from the chair and walked out so I could pay someone else to fix it. They did a short pixie cut that was... (more)

I went to Umi for a haircut model call. I had short hair, bob style, and so the only haircut that they could get from that was a pixie cut. Angela gave me the haircut. She was professional, had gentle hands, and did a great... (more)

Umi Salon was a perfect fit for me. It's ultra clean, the styling is meticulous, and the staff is thorough and perfectly accomodating. (more)

Umi is the salon visit in Boston. It's very expensive, but you will leave the salon feeling new and fresh, as I did. The stylists there do very good work and the place has a nice feeling about it.... (more)

Umi Salon is unique. You can tell they are serious about what they do, but they don't take themselves too seriously. The salon projects a cool and confident vibe and they deliver with really beautiful looks.... (more)

Of all the stylists that have done my hair over the years, nothing will ever compare to the way Jeffrey Dauksevich cut my hair. He is the undoubtedly the best hairstylist I have ever sat with, period. Brilliant,... (more)

I went to Umi Salon recently because I really needed to change my style. I could not have found myself in more capable hands. Everyone there was very nice, creative, great looking, and very professional. I was also... (more)

I love Jeffrey. He?s the only hairdresser that ever had the finesse and poise to not make me feel like a ?client?. He has a clever way of making you feel like you?re the only person in the room, and he keeps you in his quiet,... (more)

And she did a beautiful blowdry. She was professional, attentive, and caring. I plan on returning for a new haircut- the styles being done there were absolutely beautiful. (more)

I found Umi Salon when I was about to give up after so many disappointing tryouts at every ?best? and ?award winning? hairstylist/salon in the area. It?s surprising how hard it is to find a knowledgeable expert... (more)

I went to Umi Salon to see Jeffrey not knowing what I wanted to do with my style, so I requested a trim. Well, he wasn't having any of that, and within 45 minutes my hair was cut into something completely new and exciting. I... (more)

I found Umi Salon to be well worth the trip and the heavier price tag. They have a high level of experience and it shows. It was an absolute pleasure getting my hair cut there. (more)

Jeffrey cut my hair last week and I've never, ever been happier. My hair has never looked or felt better. Bonus- he is very, very comfortable to be with, and his salon is top of the top.... (more)

First of all great haircut and color. However, nothing more special then what I have had elsewhere! Grant you I am not a stylist or colorist. But, I do know my hair and I have been around a few great salons in my life. I know... (more)

Umi was a really good find for me. I went there not really knowing what I wanted to do with my long grown out layers, but that was not a problem- they had plenty of ideas that I'd never thought would work well on me, so I put my... (more)

That's how I felt at Umi Salon. There is no doubt that they have a very distinct edge, and that they are all about design and presentation- you can feel it the moment you enter. The best part is that you leave with a little... (more)

I think the the way this salon presents itself is very appealing, the service is direct and informative, and the feeling of the salon is very high design and style- in the most positive sense. My haircut was with owner... (more)

Jeffrey Dauksevich gave me an incredible haircut last week. My time with him was pleasant, intelligent, and an overall incredible salon experience. I later had the color of my hair adjusted with one of his... (more)

I am new to Boston and recovering from a year of bad highlighting jobs in Seattle. Because of my previous experiences with very bad low lights... I made an appt with UMI for just a root touch up of my blonde highlights. I... (more)

I'm in Boston frequently, and have had haircuts at Umi Salon twice. The first time I was not happy, but thought I had not communicated very well. So I tried again, this time, I am sure I was either ignored or they just are... (more)

They do really beautiful short hairstyles at Umi Salon. Very up-to-date, pretty, and sophisticated. I'm glad I tried them, and will definately return. (more)

I met Jeffrey at his salon Umi and had my hair cut with him. He was a pleasure to meet, but very tough to get to know. He is clearly a very, very brilliant hairstylist, able to answer any question or explain every detail of... (more)

Umi salon is arguably the finest salon in Boston. Sounds like there are some people out there who have a lot of growing up to do. Umi will be better of without these people- I'm happy to hear I won't be sitting next to them... (more)
