I've had more success at Supercuts
by MKeisselbach45 at Citysearch
Really unfriendly stylists, they dont like talking to customers at all and i think theyre generally right out of beauty school since they cut my hair really badly, plus my color was uneven b/c they missed pieces of hair. The bathrooms were really nasty too, with water and hair and stuff on the ground, i dont think they clean them much.
- Pros: easy to get coupons
- Cons: nasty salon, not well trained, unfriendly
overpriced and unprofessional

I have been here about 3 times because I have gotten coupons, and all three times they butchered my hair. The first time I went the assistant was sloppy and got water everywhere when she was washing my hair, in my eyes and all down my back, and she didn't seem to care. That visit I had my hair dyed, and though I wanted to go a dark brown my hair ended up looking brassy, and when I asked if they could fix it they blew me off and said there was no time to do my hair again, and that I should call back for an appointment. I came in again just for haircuts, and both times they cut my hair uneven. They give away tons of coupons because they do a bad job and need the business, don't be fooled! their prices are wayyyy too high for the poor service they deliver
- Pros: convenience of being on Newbury St.
- Cons: overpriced, unprofessional staff, poor service
I LOVE THIS PLACE.

I am in love with La Tete and have not disappointed. I have never gone for color but have been going to Melinda for a year and haven't gotten a bad cut. The people there are professional, kind, and listen to you which is the most important thing of all. The atmosphere is great and I never feel rushed, always comfortable. The price is also phenomenal esp. since it's right on Newbury St., a true gem. I highly recommend Melinda as a person and as a hair stylist, she is wonderful! My hair is not the easiest to work with and she always manages to make it work for me. I went home for a while recently and had to have my hair cut by someone else...never again!
