In 2007, Boston magazine called Fia Salon/Spa the Best Hair Salon on the West Side. Citysearchers give it an average of four stars, and Yelpers give it an average of 3.5 stars.
- If you’re after Newbury Street panache minus the hassle of driving in from the ’burbs, Fia has the experts on staff and swank products in stock to deliver the goods… Afterward, you’ll feel as if you’ve just stepped out of a big-city salon—and yet there’s your car, easily stashed, hassle-free, in a lot across the street. – Boston magazine
- [Owner] Fia is a true artist, amazing with hair but also an interesting combination of professional, kind and gentle. Her staff is professional, talented and approachable -- there's no haughty attitude in her salon. It is a jewel in the middle of Newton Center. – jritmt, Citysearch

About Fia Salon/Spa
Stepping into Fia Salon/Spa is like stepping into a Mad Max fashion show. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city proper, the owner and namesake has spread her European roots and visionary eye, carving out a landscape that swirls together industrial sensibilities with a steam-punk edge highlighted by gunmetal-gray roses. Yet despite hard accents, the studio space is surprisingly inviting, balancing the chrome and steel with gold and copper and an open layout that gives visitors space to breathe and think. There, perhaps drawing inspiration from the metal spin-lock door or perhaps imagining a vault behind that door filled with toupees, clients dream up fantastic hairstyles that Fia and her staff make into reality.
International training with the likes of Toni & Guy and Vidal Sassoon has helped Fia cultivate a team of skilled master colorists and stylists. To stay swimming in the rushing current of fashion, the team regularly undergoes training on the latest techniques and uses products by Coppola, Sebastian, and Wella to transform looks. Several staffers draw from experience working in salons on Newbury Street and in the greater Boston area, and Boston magazine, which named Fia Salon/Spa the Best in West Boston in 2007, touted the spot's "Newbury Street panache minus the hassle of driving in from the ’burbs." The staffers’ know-how has also earned them recognition on WGBH's Boston A-List, including the award for Best Hair Highlights in 2011. When the team is not tousling hair into the last trend, Fia Salon/Spa's team pamper visages with luxurious skincare treatments aided by Dermalogica products.
