ABOUT US
ALEXANDER SAFAR SALON
Alexander Safar has been actively working for an impressive 22 years in an accomplished family hair salon business, and he is now thrilled to be creating his own boutique salon, aptly named Alexander Safar, located on the historic and vibrant Newbury Street in Boston. Featured in renowned publications such as Allure and Elle, as well as on local Boston television and radio, his vision is to craft an inviting space where clients can not only feel special but also leave feeling truly beautiful and rejuvenated. Alexander Safar is wholeheartedly dedicated to providing individualized attention in a breathtaking atmosphere that is both personal and uniquely tailored to each client's needs. From the carefully curated music playlists and the modern cappuccino bar to an exclusive French product line—Kerastase—clients should be prepared to be fully immersed in a remarkable world of elegance and sophistication. When Alexander is not busy creating stunning, tailored looks for his clients, he takes great pleasure in traveling to Europe with his family, as well as spending cherished time outdoors with his two energetic sons.
