on Citysearch Jul 13, 2009They told me to leave in one location because I was 10 minutes late, then I was "told" the next service was complimentary, but when I got there I had to convince them to give it to me that way, they said it wasn't in the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 13, 2009I went to this salon and got a hand and foot relieving treatment. The whole thing cost $105 and it was one of the worst mani/pedis I have ever gotten. There were bubbles in the polish, my nails were not fully painted (she... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 29, 2008I went here for a manicure just to try something other than Sasha (my favorite). It was OK, but there was nothing special about it. Well, actually it was a nicer environment than Sasha, but the nail technician was not as... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 18, 2008I took a guest to Pyara for manicures last week. What a disappointment, an embarrassment really, as it was a gift for my friend. The top-of-the-line manicures were adequate at most; mine was done better than my... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2008For my first haircut in over six months after a seriously traumatic event at my previous hairstylists, I decided it was time for a change. I came in around 2pm on a Thursday, and though the staff were busy, it wasn't... (more)

on Citysearch May 24, 2008I go to Pyara for waxing (generally a full leg and bikini), and of several places I've tried in Cambridge this is by far the best. My favorite person to see is Jessica; not only does she make ripping the hair off my body... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 19, 2008I am one of those people guilty of "stylist cheating" as I couldn't find one that I liked. After going for a facial in February (gift from my bf) and the overall positive experience, I was committed to trying their... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 19, 2008I used to work at a Spa, so sometimes I forget I don't need to think so much when I'm getting treatments. I booked a massage, facial and brow wax for one day. The choosing of the essential oils was wonderful a wonderful... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 17, 2008I woke up this morning (my first day off in 10 days) feeling totally wiped out. I am constantly on my feet, so I often wake up feeling sore. I just knew that I needed a massage asap. Now, because I am "in the business," I'm a... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 17, 2008I have spent the last year trying to find the salon and stylist that I was consistently happy with and I found them. I highly recommend Taylor as a stylist. She is a real pro but is also kind and makes you feel comfortable... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 17, 2007I've always enjoyed my experience at Pyara. Anna is a great stylist and very easy to work with. She even took time to show me different ways to get my hair out of my face (stylishly) as it was growing out. I did have a bad... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2007I went to this salon three times to find out if I would really like it. The staff is surface friendly but not really all that interested in you. I felt not even like a number at this salon but more like a DOLLAR SIGN. My last... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 14, 2007Besides the slightly indifferent counter girls, the 2 stylists I went to (one for the original cut, the other to attempt to 'fix' the original cut) were friendly and nice. I have curly hair, needed a simple trim, was... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2007Once I started coming to Pyara two years ago I haven't tried another salon/spa for waxing, facials or haircuts. It's become my one stop for all because the quality of their service ... my haircuts have come out nicely,... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 07, 2007It's hard to believe this salon is in Harvard Sq. Look and feels like trendy NY Madison Ave retreat (without the pretension). Love coming here any chance I get. Sammy is a miracle when it comes to pedicures. Aveda... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2007When it comes to spas/salons, I must say that I have been to them all. I was always looking for the right color blonde and the feeling of relaxation when I entered into a spa. I wanted to be treated like a princess and be... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2007I'm not a spa or salon connoisseur by any means, and one of the best things about my experience at Pyara was that I didn't feel I needed to be one. My hair stylist was friendly, helpful, and genuinely listened to my input... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2007The best color around, hands down! I return time and again to Pyara Aveda not only because their colorists have perfected the sun-kissed blond of summer that I miss during these dark days, but also because of the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 01, 2007The stylists in this lovely salon are quite talented in both cut and color. Over the course of a year, I was primarily pleased with my services, happy to pay the $2-300 price tag per visit. On my final visit to Pyara,... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 26, 2007I have to say how unhappy I am with the front desk staff at Pyara Aveda salon. I've dealt with this on more than one occassion at this salon. They have attitude and I don't mean that in a good sense. You can have attitude and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 12, 2006If you have straight hair, ask for Taylor!! I have very straight hair and in the past when I went to Pyara, I wasn't that thrilled with my haircuts - just uninspired, boring, blunt cuts with no movement or body. But this... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 29, 2006I've been having my hair cut at Pyara for two years now, and I won't go anywhere else as long as I'm in Boston. Elizabeth is the best! I always leave the salon thrilled and the cuts even get better as the weeks pass. (That,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 29, 2006This manicure was one of the worst I ever got. The nails were filed unevenly, and the polish applied in a very sloppy manner. At checkout, I mentioned that I was unsatisfied with the service, showed how bad it was, to... (more)
