Haute Secrets Boston: Mario Russo of Salon Mario Russo
When Mario Russo, owner of Mario Russo Salons (on Newbury Street and a second location opening in the spring in the Fan Pier), opened his two-story Newbury Street salon 25 years ago, he changed the way hair cuts were done in Boston. From modern styles and trendy cuts to beautiful highlights and romantic bridal styles, Russo and his team of award-winning professionals will transform your look into one of natural beauty that will complement your lifestyle.
