Worst experience at a hair salon in my actual entire life. Sat down and was immediately, and very rudely, dismissed saying she couldn't do anything to my hair because she needed to be ready for her next appointment in an hour. Straight up he did not care at all. I was literally in the chair for 30 seconds. No apologies. She said I made an appointment for a certain process (not true) and thats why she couldn't do my hair. Actually never been more disgusted.

I had recently visited this location after some very high recommendations from friends. Setting up appointment was easy but that is where the trouble began. I show up at my scheduled time 10:30 am and was told I didn’t have an appointment. Then they scheduled me at 3:15 pm instead. No apology. I later get a call saying my appointment was moved to 4:30 pm. Alright. I needed a haircut so I moved my schedule. I show up at 4:30 pm and the stylist introduces himself in a rush and I am made to wait another 25 mins. Finally I get in the chair and he chops my hair off with a machine without using any scissors or comb. I am appalled. Alright, so after a quick wash, he gets me back in the chair and I ask him to blend it all, he gets pissed and is super rough. He scratched my left cheek with a comb. No apologies. Keeps going. Finally I am done in exactly 20 mins. One of the worst haircuts I have had in my entire life! I wouldn’t recommend anyone here. Time to get off the chair and I am told “Don’t pay the salon, Venmo me the money”... WHAT!!?? This stylist is super sketchy. Beware. There were some others there that seemed professional. I’d rather just have an animal chew off my hair than see that stylist again!

Tobey is amazing at hair color and styling. I always walk out looking and feeling fantastic. After moving to Boston, I tried a new stylist every 6 months because I wasn’t happy until I found him. I’ve been going to see Tobey for a couple of years now and I will never go anywhere else and if I ever move, well, he’ll just need to move with me.

The stylist was nice and my haircut was fine. Not the most amazing I’ve had, for a basic men’s cut that takes a half hour (she kept looking at a timer), $75 seems a bit steep . Yes it’s on Newbury, but the place is huge and loud and doesn’t feel particularly clean. Staff gossips to each other while they’re working on people. Just not very classy. You can find cheaper haircuts with less noise and more professionalism at other spots on Newbury!
