People are Talking

Our clients continue to thank us for their experiences. Take some time to read some of the testimonials below to get a first-hand account of the things people are saying.

"I love this place. As soon as you walk in they have you change into a black smock. They ask if you want coffee, tea, or water. The hair stylists are amazing and so friendly. But the BEST part of all is the massage you get while they are washing your hair! Oh My! Wonderful. And it's not a short massage, it's a good 5-8 minutes. Love when they go really into your scalp!"
- Jill M @ InsiderPages

"This is the first salon that I have gone to where I left loving the way my hair looked! And believe me, that's not an easy feat for a stylist to achieve with me. Cuts can be a bit on the pricy side (comparable to a Newbury Street salon price) but for someone like me with long hair who only needs to go to the salon a few times a year, I didn't have an issue with the cost. The staff are all polite and professional and make you feel relaxed and at ease. The salon atmosphere is clean and comfortable. Also, while having your hair washed, they offer you a complimentary scalp massage (which I highly recommend you do!)

Daryl Christopher is a full-service spa and salon, offering a wide range of other services in addition to hair care. I had a Swedish massage there as well and would recommend this service as well. This was my first time getting a professional massage and Mariah walked me through the whole process to help put my mind (and body) at ease."
- Jennifer F @ InsiderPages

"They have all the typical spa services but they have them down to a science. I received a facial and let me tell you, my skin looks amazing! They are pricey but worth every penny."
- Elena P @ InsiderPages

"I was given a gift certificate for a massage right before my wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The masseuse was fantastic and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The prices are a tad high but it is well worth it. It certainly relaxed this frazzled bride!"
- Connie N @ InsiderPages

"I was in the Waltham area over Valentine's Day weekend and spent a very relaxing few hours at Daryl Christopher. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and while I was about 15 minutes early for my appt they took me right away!

My first appt was for a Daryl Christopher facial. Wow!!! The room was very cozy, the bed was heated (unexpected pleasant surprise), it even had a relaxing smell!! I was asked a few questions at the beginning but was basically left to chill while she did her magic on my face! I think I fell asleep! Afterward she gave me a little advice on my skin and my regimen but did not push any product whatsoever which was good (nothing worse than pushy sales people wanting to sell you their product)!

Next up was a wash, cut and blowdry with Hilda. I was a little hesitant at first having a complete stranger cut my hair as I have been going to the same hairdresser for 10+ years at my home in FL. Should not have worried at all, Hilda did a great job. She listened to exactly what I wanted! The products that she used on my hair left it so shiny and in amazing condition that when checking out I had to buy them!!

Last but not least was a manicure and pedicure. As I sat back and read the abundance of magazines that they had on hand the technician went to work! I love that the manicure and pedicure was not rushed. There is nothing worse than having someone not take their time! She did an amazing job, and I was surprised that the polish stayed on my nails longer than usual! Need to find out what she did different as the polish usually chips off within a day or two. At one point I asked if they had a mint as I was super hungry and knew I had at least an hour before I was finished. The technician came back with a plate full of yummy ginger cookies and chocolate! So sweet!!

Checking out was a breeze. The receptionist was extremely courteous and very friendly! I wish I lived in the area so I could make this my local go to place! They have everything under one roof! Heck there is even a gym upstairs. The salon is located in a corporate park and not that hard to find! I live in FL and was able to find it with no problems. I will definitely go back to Daryl Christopher next time I am in the area ... I might even book a trip for an excuse to come back!"

"I had one of the best facials ever at Daryl Christopher's Salon this weekend. Lola did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend her."
- Diane D @ Yelp

"I can't rave enough about Waneeta at Daryl Christopher. She is the best. Her facials are relaxing and effective. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she will put to use to give you the best results and the best looking skin possible. Her waxing is absolutely exceptional too. I have never met anyone who is as talented and produced such dramatic results.

Waneeta has a spirit and warmth about her that makes for a wonderful experience each time I am in her capable hands. I recommend Waneeta to anyone who wants impeccable service and opportunity to meet a great lady."
- DanielleB @ Citysearch

"I've been using Olga's services @ Daryl Christopher for a couple of years, and I can compare her work with other places I've been so far for facials and massages. Olga is a very knowledgeable esthetician with variety of skin treatments in her repertoire. Her strong and caring hands will make the lines on your face seem to disappear and will help you to restore the energy you've lost. Highly recommend for my friends and anyone who is looking for ways to relax."
- nellichka65 @ Citysearch

"Looking for an Esthetician/ waxer that makes the experience as comfortable as possible, I have found her. Go to Waneeta at Daryl Christopher's Spa. She is simply the best around. Friendly, and professional making the waxing as pain free as it can get. (I am so glad she waxed me first ) then I received the best facial ever I was so relaxed and informed all at the same time... as i was put under the steam, she gave me a facial massage then a hand massage and then put my hands in mitts, by this time I was in lala land.... other places just leave you as the steam works, but not here....Then came the deep cleaning, I did not realize that my skin needed all that cleaning( I get facials every 4 weeks) when she finished I looked wonderful. She also explained what I should do at home. The staff was so nice, and i loved drinking their water with the floating lemons and oranges in it. I really felt like i was away on vacation."

"I have been going to Naomi at D. Christopher in Waltham for about a year now and she is amazing!!! I live in the back bay and work on Newbury st. so, I have been to few places around the city and always thought it was mediocre and over priced. A friend highly recommended Naomi and I scheduled an appointment with her...the rest was history! I have long hair and not much had changed since i was little. She always changes it a little by adding color, new layers, she recently gave me bangs for the first time in my life!!!! I have a spa that I usually go to so, I have not tried any spa services except for manicures and pedicures which were with Penny. She was very good, paid attention to detail and so friendly! Overall I have experienced really great service from the staff and Naomi and highly recommend going there. Someone complained about the prices, but I think they are reasonable, I have definitely paid more for a lot less . Very happy with all of my experiences here."

"Miriam did a wonderful job on my highlights. I am a new client so I was, of course, a bit nervous about trusting a new person with my color. She is very pleasant and I will definitely go back to her in the future. She also did a great blowout and styled my hair exactly like I wanted. Sometimes they just do what they want. I really enjoyed my experience with Miriam and highly recommend her."
- bethanyhumphrey @ Citysearch

"It was my first time at Daryl Christopher. I had booked my appointments well in advance (my fiancé was out of town for his bachelor party and I wanted to treat myself). What a treat it was! Everyone (including the front desk) was friendly, professional, and the services were excellent. I left feeling SO relaxed and my nails and skin looked SOO good! I'll be back soon! Thank you"
- superitgrrl @ Citysearch

"I've been going to Daryl Christopher for about 4 years now for highlights and haircuts and I love this place. I have had more compliments on my recent color...it is a combination of highlights and low lights that look extremely natural. They use an Italian hair color that doesn't contain ammonia but has some combination of natural herbs that actually smell good and has got to be better for your health. I'm actually pretty confident that this salon is very health conscious all the way around. I usually see Angela for color and she is amazing but I also really like Katie in Waltham for cut and color."
