In 2015 I was able to create the beautiful space that is - Starling Hair and Beauty. Holding true to my vision, we offer clients a high standard of excellence and skill in an approachable yet sophisticated setting. The name Starling came from my deep love of nature and how it constantly fuels my inspiration.
Mary is the most amazing stylist, and she creates a masterpiece EVERY time. I have been a client of hers for the past 4 years, and I am so happy she has branched out on her own. Starling is a a much nicer location, and the atmosphere is not only more pleasant, but much more professional than the previous salon she was at.

I'm hers for life! Mary has been my stylist for nearly 20 years now and is as passionate about her work today as she was on day one!. Mary truly is an artist AND a stylist, and now also a dear friend . She delivers consistent cuts ( important to me with really short hair), offers ideas for a "new you" every few years to keep it fresh (if so desired), and nails it every time! After decades in the "bizz" she still challenges herself to stay relevant in her field. You won't find this caliber of a true styling professional anywhere else north of Boston. It's a delight to be "in her chair" every 5 weeks

I haven’t seen the inside of a salon since before COVID. To my delight I had the pleasure of having my hair colored by Jaclyn. I wanted something a bit funky and true to my authentic self. Boy did she deliver!! She was very patient with me and is the consummate artist! Thank u so much Jaclyn and Mary, the salon is gorgeous and so is my hair ❤️

My first time returning to see Mary since February. I arrived feeling tentative. But I've known Mary for a long time, and was sure she would create a safe experience. I was not disappointed. She is a perfectionist ... cut, color, music, sense of humor, and taking her clients and her own safety seriously. Thank you. It feels so good to have another amazing haircut. Look forward to seeing you in seven weeks :)

Mary has been cutting my curls for many years. My most recent visit was different with health precautions in place, and the Starling Hair and Beauty salon was especially clean, comfortable, and inviting. Mary has always been professional and competent in her skill - now is no exception. I highly recommend her and the Starling team during these current times, and always, for anyone looking for quality in the seacoast!

I have been spoiled for many years with precision cuts and superior color. When people are suprised to learn I color my hair, all of the credit goes to Mary and her seemingly magical skill. The past few months proved that if I miss an appointment, my cut will grow out while holding its shape and looking good.
My visit to Starling yesterday gave me the same killer service and then some. Mary's preparation of the salon in response to state guidelines is far and above what is required. Not only did I appreciate the measures in place to keep the salon team and me safe, I felt cared about and respected

Mary Dolan has been my stylist for a long time. Her talent and professionalism has always been exceptional. However, my experience this past week at Starling was above and beyond amazing! She and her staff have gone to every possible length to create a safe experience. Not only did I receive a wonderful haircut and color, I felt extremely secure. I highly recommend any of the stylists at this salon!

I am impressed with Mary's cutting and color techniques, as well as her responsible Covid safety practices. She's very thorough. Her attention to detail on my haircut was great, and I loved my cut six weeks later. She also added some beautiful dimension with color and I am very happy with the outcome.

Starling gives the best haircuts, has a comfortable and inviting space, and is in a great location. Mary and staff are very talented
I moved to Boston a little over 5 years ago and tried 3 or 4 of the top rated barbershops/salons without luck, they just don't cut it compared to Mary and Starling Hair and Beauty. I happily travel up from Boston for a haircut each time and always walk out feeling great.

I'll be honest, I had an appointment today to get my haircut at Starling, and I was a little tentative going out into the "new" world for the first time since February... I knew there were protocols but would they be in my favor?
All that went away when I arrived at Starling. Amazing! The concern and care for my well being (as well as their own) were miles above anything I expected or have seen. What a comfortable, intelligent and safe experience. Thank you, and thank you Mary for the great haircut. It had been awhile! Be well and safe.
