I usually have a good experience here, unfortunately the latest time was pretty bad. I clearly…read moreasked my barber not to cut the hair on the back of my head (as I am - or was - trying to grow it out), only trim the top and sides. He acknowledged that but proceeded to lop off the hair on the back of my head. I was stunned to the point where I didn't say much as I'm not confrontational but asked him to stop cutting it back there. Then, he barely cut any of the hair that I asked him to on the top. I basically got the opposite of what I asked but was out $50 and walked out worse off than when I came in. Visiting a barbershop shouldn't be a gamble. Go somewhere where they listen.

Gino is an absolute wizard with a head of hair. I have seen him twice now in the last few months…read more The first time I sat down and asked for a trim with long layers and he delivered. The last time I sat down 2 weeks before my wedding and said a trim with medium layers and I think this is quite possibly the best haircut I've had in my entire life. I sent my husband to him for his pre-wedding haircut and now he's hooked. The staff are sweet, great music playing, and people are having a great time. The only down side I see is that their hair washing stations are built for people considerably shorter than me so it does hurt my neck a little, but... tall people problems I guess lol.

I purchased the livingsocial.com deal for a wash, cut, blowdry. I had never been to this salon…read morebefore and I'm desperate to find a new stylist that I can be loyal to :-) I have had some scary experiences (I think a few of them are on yelp!). When I first walked in, I was a little confused. There wasn't a receptionist so I just took a seat, someone came over a few minutes later to greet me. I then waited a few more minutes and a woman came and said she was going to wash my hair and I could have a seat at the wash station. A few initial observations - this place is very small. VERY small. They are also VERY busy so all the chairs were occupied with stylist behind them making things very tight. There are two wash bowls in the middle of the salon. I sat and waited. It was a little awkward. I almost wish she had just let me wait in the seating area. I had my hair washed - very relaxing and nice and then I had to go back over to the seating area and wait for my stylist..it was only a couple of minutes. Jess was my stylist and she didn't introduce herself, I only knew her name because when I made the appointment they said it would be with Jess. So needless to say, we were off to a rocky start. I wasn't feeling super welcome or super comfortable. However, once Jess started talking to me and we had a good conversation going, it was very nice. She was very warm and I was happy feeling I was in good hands. Overall, I was happy with my hair cut. I will be back to see Jess. A few notes about the salon. It was very warm (temperature wise) in there. I was sweating..eww. Also, it's very "swampscott-ish" - meaning the other clients walk around like they own the place and I wouldn't go in there and share "what you heard last night over dinner" because I guarantee someone in there knows someone you are talking about. That would be the only reason I wouldn't go back - which is a shame because I did like my hair, I just didn't necessarily love the environment which is not really the fault of the salon. I'm not sure how you would resolve that..but if you want a good cut I would recommend Jess.
