M.Y. Salon

07/16/2008 Posted by mspol

I've only gone here twice, but both times my hair ended up looking great! I usually just put my hair back in a ponytail, but the ladies gave me some advice on how to style it quickly, and I wear my hair down all the time now. They are all so friendly and nice, every time I go I have fun and get a great cut. I've also had a facial there too, extremely relaxing and cleansing, and got my eyebrows threaded. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced haircut or spa services, not to mention a great staff!

Pros: Great cuts, styles, facials, friendly inviting staff

Cons: NONE!

I have been going to MY Salon for 3 years and I can honestly say that they offer amazing services in a friendly atmosphere. Every time I go, they treat me like family, and I feel like a million bucks when I walk out. I have my hair cut and colored and receive compliments after every visit. Yolanda is the nicest, most patient person I have ever had do my hair. Because of the great experiences I have had, I have also recommended 2 of my friends, who love it just as much. The pedicures by Tina are wonderfully relaxing and her work is impeccable.

Pros: Friendly, family atmosphere; knowledgable staff; fantastic highlights; relaxing pedicures

Cons: parking lot is small and street parking can be a little tough on the weekends

I have been going to this salon since it opened a couple of years ago and I have NEVER been disappointed! Everyone that works there is extremely friendly and pleasant to deal with, not to mention they all know what they are doing! I used to get my hair cut at another place and I hated it every time I left and sometimes even left in tears. That has never once happened to me at M.Y. Salon. They do everything from hair to nails and waxing and now they even do facials which I hear are pretty great. Also, they are very creative and they always know what you want and how you want it. They are also willing to try different cuts and colors that are trendy and stylish. Even if you want to put crazy colors together like very dark brown (almost black) and blonde together for some funky new look, they will do it. This salon is nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new hair dresser!! Thanks M.Y. Salon, I am finally happy with my hair.

Pros: I love everything

Cons: There isn't one con I can even think of

My hair used to be so-so... now that I go to MY Salon, it's gorgeous. Especially the color - it's so natural, but still vibrant and rich (and I only get a one-process color). I love my haircuts from here too. Recently I saw Jennifer Garner in a Cambridge coffee shop (no Ben) and decided I wanted her bangs. I was nervous about it - hey I'm no Jennifer Garner - but the stylists at MY assured me I'd look fabulous with bangs. And they went the extra mile to go through magazines and Google images to find exactly the style I was trying to describe. I walked out of the salon feeling as beautiful as Jennifer herself! But as great as they are at making your hair look gorgeous, the best reason to go to MY Salon is the people. The women there (who all seem to be related, but they treat eveyone like family) are truly some of the sweetest people I've met. The first time I went to their salon (on the recommendation of a friend), I got completely lost. The sisters at MY kept me on the phone until I got there (trading the phone back and forth), even though it was a Saturday and they were busy. Then when I came in, they all smiled and applauded my arrival. And this was the first time I met them. I just always feel really special when I go to this salon. I should add that I now live in JP and drive all the way to Arlington just to get my hair done - it's so worth it!

Pros: the talented, super-sweet stylists; being treated like a friend

Cons: hard to find at first, out of the way

First off, i am a straght male, I have been coming to get my haircuts from Yolanda for over 10 years (before this location even opened). All I can say is if you want to get nonstop compliments on your hair for a ridiculously low price, go here. Over the years, I have tried other salons closer to where I live, most of them being way more expensive, and i have always been dissapointed. Once you start going here its difficult to stop.

Pros: service, atmosphere, family mentality

Cons: you won't be able to go anywhere else!

I brought in a picture from the internet of a highly progressive hair cut and M.Y. Salon delivered beyond my expectations! Kind and patient artists work with you towards your goals. You feel like along time customer on your first visit. The sleek and classical environment creates the stage for a perfect experience You will be matched with the artist the fits your specific needs. I was taken back from the compliments that I began to receive from complete strangers on the street and the awe of old time friends. At M.Y. Salon you can expect to be adorned by the best. Eric D Love Actor and Performer

Pros: awesome service

Cons: the wait can be long at times if one doesn't schedule

I have been to many salons and finally found the one for me. I travel a half hour to get to the salon,and would travel 2 hrs if i had to. The owners, actually everyone that works there are all amazing people.you feel so welcome when you enter the salon. they hang your coat ,offer you coffee,cookies etc.... i feel like a super star when i walk in there( like i am somebody important!!) not only are they the best in hair color foils, cuts, styles, and blowdries. you name it they can do it and do an amazing job at it! I like to get a little crazy at times with color and they do exactly what i want not what they think i should do like most salons have a bad habbit of doing!! My best experince with the girls at m.y salon is having my daughters 8th birthday party there 8 girls dressed up in dresses met at the salon and they set up different stations so all the girls werent standing around they had one woman painting nails ,one doing makeup ,and another doing the girls hair. We took pictures of all the girls after they were down can we say stunning! my daughter still thanks me today.'A girls day of beauty' is the theme for a great birhtday party!Also me and my daugher go together and have a great mother daughter day.I have 4 people in my town that i have brought down to experince M.Y. salon and they also travel a half hour to get there and still go to this day! My statement that I say to everyone who stops me in grocery stores gas stations dunkin donuts, ect.. ask were i get my hair done that they love the foils and the style my response M.Y. SALON.So for you people out there looking for a new salon of just a change you need to try M.Y salon you will never go back to your old place that is a promise! YOU LEAVE THE SALON NOT ONLY LOOKING LIKE A MILLION BUCKS BUT YOU LEAVE THERE WITH A LITTLE EXTRA SELF CONFIDENCE. ps. also a slight stomach ace from all the laughs you will have with this group of ladies!!!!!!!! 2008 ONE OF THE OWNERS WAS VOTED BEST BLOWER IN TOWN !!!!!

THE MINUTE YOU WALK IN THE DOOR YOU ARE TREATED LIKE FAMILY, AND NOBODY TREATS YOU BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE WHO CARE, AND LET ME TELL YOU THEY DO!! I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS AFTER GOING TO A REPUTABLE SALON ON NEWBURY STREET,AS WELL AS A GREAT SALON IN EVERETT. I DECIDED TO GO CLOSER TO HOME AND WAS GOING TO A SALON IN THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE AND WAS EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE RESULTS I GEVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND TRIED COUPLE OF TIMES ENDED UP WITH THREE DIFERENT COLORS IN MY HAIR,(NOT BY CHOICE) AND WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH DAMAGE. i WALKED AWAY NEVER SAYING A BAD WORD. CHAULKING IT UP TO A BAD EXPERIENCE. I WALKED INTO M.Y. SALON WITH A FRIEND WHO IS A LOYAL CUSTOMER, AND TO SAY THE LEAST IT IS THREE YEARS LATER AND MY HAIR HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER AND HEALTHIER!! I AM CONSTANTLY GETTING COMPLIMENTS AND SEND EVERYONE I KNOW THERE, AND HAVE YET TO EVER HEAR A BAD WORD, NOR DO I EXPECT TO. I HAVE REALLY CURLY FUNKY, HAIR AND AM PREMATURE GRAY. SO TO SAY THE LEAST IT IS KINDA DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH. BUT THEY TAKE ALL THE TIME THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE I LEAVE FEELING SPECIAL LOOKING INCREIBLE AND VERY SATISFIED. THIS IS A FAMILY BUSINESS AND YOU BECOME FAMILY ONCE YOU WALK THRU THERE DOOR. AND THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING TO SATISFY YOU. THERE PRICES ARE COMPRABLE TO OTHER SALONS. THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH THERE WARMTH AND CAREING STAFF. DONT TAKE MY WORD FOT IT, TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF, I AM POSITIVE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. I WAS AND STILL AM.

Worst Experience EVER! Not worth the $$ - I had my hair colored with one of the owners, i wont name names to spare her the embarrassment, i have a heart! it looked like i got my hair colored by a Barbazon trainee it was brassy and it fried my hair, not only that, the cut was juvenile and so 5 years ago. They're still doing the Jennifer Aniston style of the early 90's in this place - i saw. I should have known better by the look of the place the decor was "cheesy" and the hair of almost every employee in there was brutal. I complained and the manager/owner did NOTHING except look at me with a blank stare after telling me it looked NICE!!!!!!! I'll be the judge of that sister........it was horrid, and i had to spend hundreds of dollars to correct the mess.

Pros: none

Cons: everyhing
