But if I was rech I would consider being less rech to get my locks cut here all. the. time. Emphasis needed. People here know what they're doing. And if they don't I have a hunch their asses are out on the street, blankly looking at the number 75 on the door - kind of like me, trying to figure out how to get into the salon. They're hidden because they have NOTHING to prove to anyone. So how did I get my badass haircut here? I needed one badly and did a lengthy search of salons that need models to practice on. I came upon the name Uni and thought "hmm I haven't heard of this one before." Did a quick Yelp search, saw the awesome rating and called right away. And even though I was a model (because I'm hot) getting a complimentary cut, I was treated like gold. The receptionist was super friendly and had a great sense of humor and thanked me a bunch of times for coming in. Yea you're welcome, it was really hard for me to find time for a FREE haircut from one of the best salons in Boston. My stylist was Elle and she was sweet and wonderful and ready to learn. Though I don't know a thing about hair, I do watch a lot of Tabitha's Salon Takeover so I'm almost a stylist at this point. There is a LOT that goes on with cutting hair. I was utterly fascinated. The owner? head stylist? was there watching Elle and the other stylist like a hawk. I knew I was in safe hands. I'd be coming out with a wicked awesome 'do man. I had no idea what my hair was going to look like but I'm a risk taker and now everyone wants to know where I got my hair cut. If you can't afford to go here, be a model. If you can afford to go here, I'm jealous. And FYI : I think I want my apartment decorated the way Umi looks. Clean, spacious, minimalist. Omg like me lol.

However, I can wholeheartedly tell you that this is the best salon in Boston. I've had one too many bad hair experiences in Boston to know good from bad. If we want to talk good, this place takes the cake. If they can take my dyed black Asian hair to a gorgeous, multi tonal golden color, they work miracles... and they do. Their goal is to make you look your absolute best. I'm always impressed by their attentive service and blown away by their color expertise. My Asian hair is currently a nice golden honey color and it's never once oxidized into that usual orange mess you see on so many Asian women. AMEN TO THAT SISTER! I'll never go anywhere else for my coloring needs.
