Dellaria Salon

First let me start by saying that I am one of those people who prefers to fly by the seat of my pants. Therefore, I very rarely make an appointment ahead of time and I’m the type who will just call in a moment’s notice and ask who is available. The benefits of this, is that I get to try out a variety of stylists and I would have to say that I have not been disappointed. Each stylist at this salon offers a different talent and a different outlook. I love that I have that flexibility to be able to see whoever is available and know that I’ll be in good hands and that they’re well qualified to do what’s best for my hair. I also love the fact that this Salon seems to work together cohesively as if they’re all in the same team, which is how it should be. I feel that they communicate with each other about what’s best for the client so if you do end up needing to see somebody else because your hair stylist is not available rest assured that you will be well taken care of. The only reason I do not give it a 5 star is because of the pricing. I agree with the other reviews if you’re going to pay that price you might as well go to Boston, but since Boston drivers are crazy… I choose to go here. ;)

Meg is amazing she is very nice and knows what she is doing. You can tell she actually cares about her job! I would highly recommend her!

If you have curly hair and still haven’t found a stylist who gets that your locks require a whole different level of cut– look no further! Meagan P. is awesome! I left feeling good about my hair again. She knows what she is doing, and an added bonus is she is incredibly personable. Give her a try, you won’t be disappointed.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how great an experience I had at Dellaria. I have been living in the area for almost two years and have yet to find a salon where I wanted to go back for a second appt. Problem has officially been solved. I had a cut and color with Shawna and she smiled at me as I explained how I had used a box of hair color on my super thick blonde hair, where two boxes would have been necessary, leaving a botched at home color job. She helped me solve my color problem without making me feel stupid about it and cut my hair while making judgement based on my texture and thickness. We even talked about going pink at a later time where she also made assessments on what it would take. I felt that she was knowledgeable and looking out for my hair’s best interest. Plus my hair cut is AWESOME, when I had given her vague and disjointed direction on what I wanted/​needed. I will be definitely booking a return appt.

As a woman with short hair, finding a stylist who has a clue when you live out in the suburbs is somewhere between difficult and impossible. After getting what I consider to be «old lady haircuts» (sorry old ladies) at two different Acton/​Littleton salons, I no longer wanted to take anyone’s advice on their «great» stylist! I have gotten good cuts at other Dellarias in the past, so I randomly booked a Friday night appointment at this Dellaria with Sue.
Sue listened to what I wanted, looked through the pictures that I brought, made suggestions, and gave me an excellent, age appropriate (mid-​30s), haircut and blow dry. I could not have asked for more. Her techniques are very good, and it is clear that she is an experienced and knowledgable stylist. Her level of chattiness was also just right.
The price was high for out here ($ 65 for cut/​dry), and I would imagine that some would complain about it. However, I have paid a lot more for a cut, and had to go into Boston for it too. I will happily continue to pay the price here for an excellent cut in a convenient location with great hours.

I went to Dellaria a few months ago for a cut. I saw Meagan P. (long wavy blond hair), who was so sweet. She offered me coffee, which was a nice little perk. Meagan did exactly what I asked for, expertly. I always have a problem with stylists cutting my hair shorter than I want, especially my side bang (Does this have a name? You know what I mean), which I was trying to trim and shape a bit while it grows out and she fixed me right up and blended the bang right into the rest of my hair and shaped the sides a bit to frame my face.
For the blow dry she asked if I wanted to go stick straight (I have very straight hair) or add a little waviness to it and I opted for the latter. Its always nice to have something different and special, even though my hair tends to droop out of it after about 15 minutes– you can use a hot curler in my hair and shellac it with hairspray and it will be flat in 30 minutes. Seriously you have to be a wizard to keep a curl in my hair. Meagan styled it and added a little product and gave it as much oomph as my hair will begrudgingly accept. I looked *Good* walking out of that salon. I am not a selfie person, and I took some selfies in the parking lot before getting in my car. My hair felt light and airy and bouncy, which just does not happen haha. It still looked good and had some volume when I got home later on that night. It feels awesome walking around with sexy hair. Go see Meagan.
This was me, after leaving the salon.

Pleasant from first phone call through cut to paying.
Meagan was my stylist. Very friendly. We talked about what I wanted then headed to the sink. I’d already shampooed/​conditioned that morning so she just wet my hair. Now, first you need to understand that my fine, curly hair needs a proper cut. Many stylists, oddly, don’t know how to deal with it. Meagan did. She asked if I wanted product applied (yes), and we discussed options. Again, my hair dictates product that works with my hair type. She offered for me to apply (no one ever asks that!), but I wanted her to do her magic.
She cut exactly the way we discussed, and the result was better than I’d anticipated. I’d had a great experience years ago in the Summer Street salon, but I no longer work right there. I’d received a gift cert for Dellaria and discovered the Acton location, and luckily — Meagan. Anyway, she was fast, but I did not feel rushed.
In her non-​pushy way, Meagan made excellent recommendations. I will absolutely return for my next hair cut. (Meagan is the one with the long, curly hair. Sorry, don’t know her last name.)
While I didn’t partake, I was offered a bevy from their bar… coffee, tea, water, juice.
If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would. Pet peeve: florescent lights. Makes me feel like I’m in an office.

I have been a Dellaria client for 14 years. I have had the same stylist and am very pleased. I always leave the salon very happy.

This place is sort of tucked out of the way in a small shopping mall next to the Donelan’s in Acton (Rt119). From the outside I was expecting your run of the mill «hair cut» salon typical of a mini mall. However, I was quite surprised to find a nice layout of a professional salon when I walked through the doors. The place was busy and all 10 or so chairs were filled with clientele getting styled. They have a pretty wide selection of salon products which takes up most of their waiting area (only a couple of chairs for folks to wait on their appointment).
My appointment was with Lynn — from what I could tell a well experienced and professional stylist. We talked about what I had in mind and she went to work. She was upbeat and nice as she gave me a fairly standard guys cut and style. Overall I was extremely pleased with her work. After going to another establishment in the Acton area which left me feeling like «what the??», i was pleased to find Lynn and Dellaria Salon.
The only reason I didn’t give this place a 5 star rating was simply the price. I paid almost $ 40 for a men’s wash, cut, and style. I know this is a well-​to-​do area in Acton, however this price is something I would expect to pay in downtown Boston — not the suburbs. I have lived in Seattle and Old Town Alexandria (just outside DC) and have never paid more than $ 35 for the exact same cut/​styling. I know this isn’t something Lynn was responsible for individually, but set by the Dellaria establishment itself. So my recommendation would be to check this place out, and be sure to ask for Lynn, just know that you are going to pay top dollar for the experience.
