I’m pretty picky when it comes to who I let cut my hair, but when I saw the reviews, I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this place. But I was wrong. They were able to get me a same day appointment, which I was very happy with, but when I got there I waited for a while before there was some slight confusion to who was suppose to cut my hair. The stylist I ended up getting was suppose to cut another woman’s hair, but she made it very clear that she did not want her, and had requested someone else. This should have been my first clue to leave. The stylist I got, barely spoke any English, and when she washes my hair, she repeatedly “slapped” my face with her wet fingers, and she NEVER even attempted to put a towel around my head to help dry the hair afterwards, which resulted in cold water running down my neck and onto the apron. I showed her multiple pictures of “long bobs” which is what I already had, just that it had grown a little too long for my taste. She started out with “brushing” my hair with a brush that had long blond hairs in it and then split my hair into 7 different sections. She on multiple occasions literally pushed my head around to different positions she needed it to be in, without saying a word expect “sit still!” I was truly hoping this lady in the end would turn out to be this master cutter who just had some weird ways to her, but I ended up with my hair at least 0.5 inches shorter than what I wanted, and no layers whatsoever. I am now walking around with what looks like a hair helmet from a Lord Fuaquat costume that I could literally have done myself by putting my hair in a low ponytail and then just cut above the hair tie... Not Recommended!

Friendly and professional staff that do great haircuts 90% of the time. Prices are reasonable for a 'salon'. They could improve their customer data management and tracking though.

I've been coming to this salon for years. The stuff is extremely nice and friendly and the services are outstanding anywhere from haircut, color, blow out or waxing. Definitely would recommend this salon to others.

I've gone to barbers all over the country when I travel and I've been to a bunch in the Boston area. I have to say I've never had a better cut than the one I've consistently received at Alexander Salon. This review is far overdue as as I've been a client for a couple years now. Sam is what I would actually describe as an artist, along with the other barbers & hairdressers. Everyone I've sent there has been impressed. All the staff are friendly and professional and the place is clean and well kept. I'd highly advise anyone to check this place out, just be sure to make an appointment as they're sometimes booked out for a couple days to a week in advance.
