Founded in 2006 by Marisa Marino, Stilisti, a Salon Retreat on Newbury, was created with a clear vision: to redefine luxury in the beauty industry. More than a salon, Stilisti represents an experience—a place where artistry, education, and authenticity come together in perfect balance.
From the beginning, Marisa sought to build something different. A woman-owned salon in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay, Stilisti was designed for men and women who appreciate sophistication without attitude. Every detail, from the elegant interior design to the handpicked team of award-winning stylists and board-certified colorists, reflects a commitment to excellence and an understanding of what true beauty means.
The Stilisti Philosophy
At Stilisti, luxury is defined by care and connection. The team’s goal is to make every client feel valued, confident, and completely at ease. Each service—whether a precision haircut, a custom color, or a bridal styling session—is approached with thoughtfulness, technical mastery, and creativity.
Under Marisa’s leadership, the salon operates on three core principles: education, empowerment, and experience. Every stylist, apprentice, and colorist is encouraged to grow both personally and professionally, continually refining their skills through advanced training and mentorship.
The Salon Experience
Stepping into Stilisti feels like entering a modern retreat—a space designed to inspire relaxation and renewal. Clients are welcomed into a setting that blends warmth with sophistication, where every visit feels personalized and unrushed.
From custom robes to complimentary wireless internet, the salon provides thoughtful amenities that elevate the experience without distraction. Whether visiting for a single service or a complete transformation, clients can expect exceptional craftsmanship in a setting that feels refined yet inviting.
A Commitment to Education and Community
Marisa’s passion for mentorship extends beyond the salon chair. Through her guidance, countless apprentices have honed their skills and gone on to achieve their professional dreams. Stilisti is also deeply rooted in giving back—supporting global and local causes such as BEADS for Education and HairRaising for Boston Children’s Hospital.
These efforts reflect Marisa’s belief that beauty and compassion go hand in hand. Stilisti’s commitment to service, both to clients and the community, continues to be one of the salon’s proudest achievements.
