best. stylist. ever. – I've had my hair cut/styled at most of the salons on Newbury, and to be honest, I was never really pleased. After a particularly poor cut at Giuliano's, I went back to getting it cut at LaFlamme in Harvard Square. That is, until, I got it cut/styled at Dekwa. Apart from the entirely different atmosphere (soothing zen, as opposed to the salsa blaring from the two floors below), my stylist Richard asked precisely what I wanted my hair to look like. He also respected the fact that I don't usually like tal... read more

Kwan: The BEST SERVICE! – DeKwa is a salon that manages to create an environment richly afforded with ambient music, trendy comfortable furniture, and original art work. The staff is very friendly, good-looking, and attentive. I enjoyed reading the eclectic architectural magazines while sipping a warm cup of ginger-spiced, mint asian tea. Everything about this salon screams: ORIGINAL. Kwan, my stylist, surpassed my expectations of what I've always wanted with my hair. The right color, texture and managibility. HIGHLY RECOMME... read more
