Franklin, MA's Award-Winning Salon
Cuts that grow out beautifully. Stylists who actually listen. Master Stylists with decades of experience and a complimentary consultation before every service.
More Than a Trim
Anyone with scissors can give you a haircut. A precision cut is different — every section is measured, every angle is intentional, and every decision is made with how the cut will grow out in mind. The result is a cut that looks intentional from every angle, holds its shape between visits, and works with your natural hair pattern instead of against it.
At Brian Richard’s, our stylists train continuously in the latest cutting techniques. Master Stylist Brian Richard Aiello leads the team, and the standard he sets carries through every appointment — from a quick clean-up trim to a full transformation.
Whether you’re coming in for your regular cut, growing out a previous style, or finally ready for a major change — we’ll talk through the result you want and the maintenance you’re willing to commit to before we make a single cut.
Your Two Options
Both tiers deliver excellent precision cuts. The right fit depends on your needs, your hair, and your budget. Either option is appropriate for most clients — and your stylist will be happy to recommend the right tier at your consultation.

For Every Client
01
From precision bobs and layered lobs to long, healthy ends — we cut for shape, movement, and how the result will grow out. Coming in with a photo helps but isn't required. Your stylist will translate what you want into a cut that works with your hair.
02
Modern fades, classic cuts, scissor-over-comb, and longer styles. We do men's cutting at the same precision level as women's — no shortcuts, no rushed clipper-only services. Includes a shampoo and finish with every cut.
03
Patient, friendly cuts for kids of all ages. We work with first-time-cut nerves, growing-out phases, and parents who want a real haircut for their child rather than a quick trim. Available with both Stylist and Master Stylist tiers.
What to Expect
01
Every cut starts with a conversation. Your stylist examines your hair, asks about your daily styling routine, and looks at any inspiration photos you've brought. We talk before we touch the scissors — every time.
02
Every cut at Brian Richard's includes a shampoo and conditioning treatment in our massage shampoo chairs. Wet hair cuts more cleanly and lets your stylist see your true hair pattern before cutting.
03
Your stylist sections your hair systematically and cuts with intention — not freehand. Every section is measured, every angle is deliberate. The result is a cut that's even, balanced, and grows out evenly.
04
Every cut ends with a professional blow-dry finish so you leave seeing the result the way it's meant to be styled. Your stylist will also walk you through how to recreate the look at home.
Beyond the Cut
A precision cut is the foundation. A great blowout is what makes the cut feel like a luxury experience. Whether you’re getting ready for an event, picking up a lunch-hour glow-up, or just want to feel polished for a night out — we’ve got you.
All blowouts and styling services can be added on to any haircut appointment, or booked separately as a standalone service.

Common Questions
A precision haircut is a cut where every section is sectioned, measured, and cut deliberately rather than freehand. The result is a cut that grows out beautifully, holds its shape between visits, and looks intentional from every angle.
Precision cutting requires advanced training and is typically performed by Master Stylists or experienced stylists. At Brian Richard’s, every cut — Master Stylist or Stylist tier — is performed using precision technique. The difference between tiers is the experience level and the complexity of work the stylist can handle, not the quality of the cut itself.
It depends on your cut and your hair. Shorter cuts typically need a trim every 4–6 weeks to hold their shape. Medium-length cuts usually go 6–8 weeks. Longer hair can stretch to every 8–12 weeks for shape maintenance and split-end removal. Your stylist will give you a personalized schedule at your appointment.
Master Stylists have advanced training and years of experience with complex cutting techniques, intricate layering, corrective work, and challenging hair textures. Stylist-tier cuts are performed by talented stylists who deliver excellent results at a more accessible price point. Both tiers use precision cutting technique. For complex cuts, corrective work, or major changes — choose Master Stylist. For regular trims and classic shapes — Stylist tier is a great fit.
Yes — and we cut men’s hair at the same precision level as women’s. Modern fades, classic cuts, scissor-over-comb work, and longer styles. Every men’s cut at Brian Richard’s includes a shampoo and blow-dry finish as part of the service — not an add-on.
Most stylists recommend cutting before coloring, as the cut shapes the canvas the color is applied to. If you’re booking both services in the same visit, your stylist will handle the order — typically cut first, then color. If you’re scheduling them separately, prioritize the cut first if you’re getting a major change, or color first if you’re just getting a regular trim.
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Bringing 2–3 photos of cuts you like helps us understand the result you’re going for far better than describing it in words. Your stylist will look at the photos, assess what’s achievable for your hair type and texture, and walk you through any adjustments needed.
