I had a great experience at Solari; I had a color and blowout with Jillian and she did such a fantastic job. I loved how my hair turned out. Recommend!
Welcoming, friendly, clean, organized with talented stylist. I can't recommend this salon enough. Beth is amazing and talented with hair. Everyone there is very helpful and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed.
Thank you Jaclyn for sharing this review and your recent experience with Beth at Solari. We look forward to welcoming you back in for your next visit soon, Lynn
I recently had my eyelashes lifted and tinted by Emma Davis and she was fantastic! My eyes really look more open and defined. I’m so happy with the results and highly recommend Emma’s esthetician services!
Your eyes look amazing and thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We can't wait to see you soon, Lynn
Love Molly!!!!! 💗 Every single time I visit Solari, I leave feeling happy! The staff there are all friendly. We have great conversations. It's a small, intimate setting downstairs and very upscale as well.
Thank you Karin. We love this and our little oasis that we have created and those in which we are fortunate enough to spend it with. We look forward to seeing you soon, Lynn
My experience at this salon was amazing. I was in Portsmouth for my son's wedding and was cancelled by another stylist at the last minute. I showed up without an appointment and explained my dilemma. The gals at the salon went out of their way to help me with a trim, blowout, pin back, and makeup. They turned a tired and travelled person into a beautiful groom's mom with only about an hour to spare before the wedding. They were understanding, compassionate, and did a wonderful job. I will always be grateful for their willingness to help me out of a jam and their genuine kindness. You all are the best!
After a couple of failed attempts elsewhere, I finally found the right place at Solari Hair Salon in Portsmouth. Avy (pronounced Avee) took the time to really listen and understand what I was going for—and absolutely nailed the men’s hair color I had been trying to get right for a while. Thank you, Avy, for your patience and precision! Also, a big shoutout to the friendly and professional team at Solari for creating such a welcoming environment. Highly recommend!
Welcoming salon with a spectacular stylist in Molly. She gives me a great cut that I can wear naturally wavy or blown out. She listens to my concerns and on my latest appointment gave me the most natural looking highlights I have ever had.
This is my new favorite salon. I love my stylist, Beth, and all the staff are so kind and positive. They take real pride in their craft and have made me love my hair again, making it feel fresh and healthy. Thank you!
I forgot to give my $20 gift certificate to the hair stylist which I downloaded from your website. Both technicians in hair and pedicure were good. The only thing I did not appreciate, at the end of the day the technicians were spraying air fresheners while I was still in the office which affected my allergies, made me have difficulty breathing.
Patricia, We are more than happy to apply the $20 voucher towards your next visit to Solari, or apply a refund if you prefer, just let us know what works best for you? The health and safety of our clients and staff is our highest priority - that does include cleaning, disinfecting and the use of Lysol each and every time a guest arrives and leaves. If you would like to speak further, I would be happy to discuss any concerns you may have at any time. Lynn Watters (603) 430-0030
We made a last minute appointment for a group of 5 and could not have had a better experience. The host and nail techs were all fabulous and super accommodating. They use quality products and provided drinks while we waited. Highly recommend!!!
