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.
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…
If you want your hair done get it by Molly, she is amazing! If I could give 6 stars for her I would.
Love my hair color! They are the best. Can’t wait for my next appointment!
Solari spa in Portsmouth is very welcoming experience. Jillian is wonderful, and does best coloring and cuts! She’s the best!
Friendly, helpful, very comfortable, excellent service. Beth is the best!!
My stylist is amazing...the environment is lovely, and nurturing... and the cup of Aveda tea is the icing on the cake.
Truly the best experience! They were able to get me in the next day for a color correction after an unfortunate experience at a different salon and Paige worked WONDERS. Definitely my new hair place from here on out !
A+ experience - 1st time at Solari Salon as I recently moved from Boston to Portsmouth - Paige, my lovely stylist was wonderful - she provided a relaxing & enjoyable time from beginning to end…full foil & cut were excellent & purchased some great products - have already made my next appointment with her for the fall…

Just had a wonderful experience for my first time at Solari. Met a phenomenal hairstylist named Evelyn. She was pleasant, knew exactly what to do with my hair and my hair came out great. Great experience! Ask for Evelyn. ☆☆☆☆☆
Jillian is always very professional and listens to what I want to do with my hair.
Jillian is delightful & professional and I love my cut & color!
Very happy with my experience at Solari Salon. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. My appointment was with Evelyn, she is lovely. I was a little nervous going to a new stylist but Evelyn listened to how I wanted my hair styled and I absolutely love the cut and color. Evelyn is an excellent stylist and I highly…

This was my first visit to Solari in several years, and I had such a positive experience. Lynn was so welcoming, as always, and Molly was fantastic. She listened attentively to what I was hoping for for my hair, and offered her professional expertise. I left the salon with exactly what I had hoped for, and feeling…
My wife thought It was great! Relaxing & Profession. I was on vacation & would/ will come back next summer. I would become a regular if I was in the area.
Jill did an amazing job cutting and coloring my hair. In addition to being talented and knowledgeable, she is both friendly and professional.

I love visiting Solari Salon for my hair appointments, always relaxing and fun!
Emily was amazing. I haven’t had my hair done in over a decade. My last experience was really bad and Emily made me feel so relaxed and informed. I felt really good about the process. It came out beautiful and made me feel so good about myself. I’ve already booked my second apartment with her. Highly recommend.
My experience at Solari Salon & Spa is always relaxing. I feel pampered and leave with uplifted spirits and of course a great haircut. The positive energy of the salon and staff is infectious. I highly recommend them.
I loved my stylist Andrea who highlighted my hair. But I was unaware that I would have had to schedule to have my hair dried, even though it was washed there. So I had to leave with wet hair. I think the fact that everything is ala carte in your salon should be clearly explained during the booking. I was…
Always superb services...
Wonderful, Excellent, Perfect!
A clean and comfortable place with good customer service!
