Editorial Review for Shag – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Located in an unglamorous but easily accessible corner of Southie, Shag provides its patrons with a most stylish environment in which to get a trim. (With its high ceilings, hardwood floors and colorful seats, the salon sports an attractive, casual appearance.) Owner Sandy Poirier and his stylists specialize in edgy, "rock star" styles, as well as the salon's namesake 'do. Full coloring services are available, and patrons are welcomed with a cappuccino or glass of wine.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasWhile the salon normally closes at 7pm, evening appointments are available by special arrangement.
ParkingPerhaps the biggest benefit of Shag's South Boston address is the plethora of free on-street parking.

I work at the westin waterfront I refer many guests to a lot of places, the shag salon is definetly one of the best around. Brian is outstanding. I wouldnt refer the guests of the hotel to anywhere else, besides when the guests return from their appointment they are raving about the whole experience. kelly

I can't believe that people have negative things to say about this place... I have been here several times and have had nothing but a positive experience every time! I consider my hair to be hard to manage and since I started going to Shag, I have loved my hair. Brian is awesome, he has cut both longer and shorter length styles on me and both are equally amazing. He listens to what I want and makes suggestions to what will work on my hair. I have paid for some pretty bad haircuts in my life, in fact the first time I went to Shag Brian fixed a horrific haircut that I paid $90+ for on Newbury Street, but Shag is reasonably priced and I have always been very pleased with the results. The atmosphere is cool, the people who work there are friendly and take great care of you while you are there. Even the girl at the front desk who I initially thought was snooty ended up being really nice and complimentary and made recomedations on products that she likes. I love going there a little early and flipping through a magazine and drinking a glass of wine while I wait.
Pros: amazing cuts, cool atmosphere
