I am in love with Linda K. Enough said. But really. Place is great, friendly, looks awesome. She talks to you, remembers to you, listens to you, asks you questions throughout what she is doing to make sure you like it, are comfortable, etc. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and she made it look 1000x better. Even 3 months after its grown out I still get compliments. ++Still pretty cheap for an amazing hair cut in this city. read more

I have two very mature, well-behaved children ages 9 and 11. They have been getting their hair cut on Newbury Street at Salon Capri for years. Because we needed holiday cuts, and their usually stylists were busy, someone recommended Judy Jetson. Since it was local to us, and I run a nearby business, I thought it would be nice to try. While midway through booking the appointments the receptionist asked how old the kids were. She then informed me the stylists don't do kid's cuts. I responded that they were not toddlers. There is zero reason to treat them any different than any other client...as they were used to getting their hair cut and styled in salons. She said that some stylists just "have their rules". Maybe they are more hospitable if you're a hipster millennial over 18. We will never know. No one in our family will ever be visiting this unwelcoming business. read more

Yeah, this place is pretty tacky. The reason why it gets three stars is that I was actually happy with the haircut. The problem is that I've had this haircut before, and I had to give detailed directions to the stylist the entire time. I also had to check every couple of minutes whether he'd fallen asleep. I wouldn't go there if I felt like taking a risk or didn't know what I wanted. The stylists and the assistants looked like aged hipsters. Occasionally swept up the hair, but mostly stood around and chewed on their fingernails. A mediocre experience overall, but at least the hair didn't get butchered. read more

I finally decided to get my hair cut in MA, and I officially don't regret it. I also, after much review-reading, decided to get it cut at Judy Jetson, and I don't regret that, either. I called yesterday (a Monday) around opening, and they were able to fit me in easily today with Ilana, who is one of their specialists on curly/wavy hair. She took one look at my shaggy, wavy mess and another look at my too cute picture of Carey Mulligan, and started cutting. A lot. It almost made me nervous, but it took shape quickly and was obviously adorable. I liked that she did some cutting even after it was dry, because my hair tends to be heavy and weighed down and now it feels downright fluffy. I had a totally positive (and amusing) interchange with the receptionist, and was pleasantly surprised to find that no one pushed products on me at all. The cost of my super cute haircut was $55, and that didn't seem half bad. I was also warned in advance about the cash tipping policy, and the receptionist happily broke my $20 for me, and there was no issue there. Their cancellation policy is severe, but from what I can tell, they're very popular and would be able to fill that spot, so it's also pretty understandable. I didn't feel at all bothered by the policy, since, well, they told me about it straight up. Overall, it was a very pleasant. And I love my new, spring-sheered haircut. read more

Out of towner here. Came in for a haircut after walking by and seeing that it looked liked an awesome place. I wasn't disappointed. The staff there are hilarious, and Anisa, my stylist, was great. My hair looks awesome AND I left with a ton of laughs. read more

Judy Jetson - Haircut by Anisa! How Boston does hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This was my first real salon haircut after I shaved my head, and it was totally worth it. I had been going to barbers, but they were really hit or miss. I looked for a place to treat myself to something nicer, and Judy Jetson seemed like the place to go. I walked in on a Monday afternoon and they saw me within 20 minutes! Anya was incredibly helpful and patient despite me not knowing any of the words for what I wanted. My haircut is textured beautifully and I can really tell the difference between this and my previous haircut. I am really happy and will be coming back! read more

Normally I dread going to get a hair cut. I have a hard time communicating what I want and usually the process can be awkward and frustrating for me. Needless to say I was worried going in. Considering how a few of the reviews harped on about the staff being rude and a bit too cool for there own good, I just didn't know if I'd feel comfortable. Luckily the opposite was true. I got my hair cut by David, great work, and equally strong personality. Almost immediately after sitting me down, he was able to figure out exactly what I needed. The overall experience with was very engaging. Thanks to plenty of chit-chat and David aforementioned delightful personality the session didn't feel rushed, nor did it drag. I definitely plan on coming to Judy Jetson's time and time again. read more

These 5 stars are for Danielle specifically. She is the Hair Whisperer. I have curly hair, which I know requires layers. And every time I've sat in a stylist's chair, I've said, "I need layers," and the stylist has always looked confused, and despite the best intentions of both of us to understand my hair and each other, they either gave me a haircut without layers or made me look like Little Orphan Annie. Then came Danielle. The first thing she said to me when I sat in her chair was "you need layers." It has been true hair love ever since. She knew immediately what my hair needed, what kind of cut would frame my face well, and what amount of funkiness I could handle. I always walk out feeling like a mothereffin' rock star and the feeling lasts for months. If you have curly hair, go go go to her. Not only does she know what she's doing, she is a riot. So fun to talk to. Worth every penny. read more

I was up from New York for the weekend visiting a friend of mine in Cambridge, and when I told him I needed a haircut he suggested that I try out Judy Jetson. The stylist I saw, Ace, was friendly enough, but something must have gotten lost in translation. Instead of giving me a cut befitting a young gay man from NYC, I walked out looking like a middle-aged woman from Nebraska. It was the only time I've ever been given the mirror for a final look at the cut, and thought "I have to get out of this seat before he does any more damage". There are probably good stylists there, and perhaps Ace is too and was just ripping me off because I was from out of town. Whatever the case, I won't be going back there. read more

My husband and I have been going to Feri at JJ for YEARS. My old roommate went, my former coworker went as well. LOVE the salon, ADORE Feri and will continue to be a loyal customer. Their cancellation fee is indeed BS. Thankfully I've never had a problem with it. read more

It takes a lot for me to write a review... quite honestly, I find it a nuisance... but I owe it to this salon and to the amazing Linda Kirk. Hands down the best in the business. And I'm not just talking about Boston... best I have ever been to. Judy Jetsons is fun and personable, just like its owner... the people and atmosphere give every person that walks in an overall great experience... there is a reason I have been going there since 2003... my wife (then girlfriend) recommend the salon, and she still goes there too (and loves her stylist Ferry)! So if you want to look GREAT, be sure to go there... and ask for Linda. Amazing! read more

I have been driving by this place for years and never stopped in there. The funny thing is I send all my foreign exchange students there. I finally called and made an appointment. I really love this place. Th atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The decor is funky, which I like and the other clients actually speak with you. I had a GREAT haircut by Cami. She is very knowledgable and took the time to give me what I wanted and made me look great. My haircut falls right into place after I wash it. I will go back for a color soon. As far as people complaining about having to leave a credit card when you make an appointment I dont see it as a problem. These people have to make a living and if you don't show they're out money. I think it's only fair and makes people show up or at least call ahead if they cannot show. read more

I have been going to Linda K. for more than 15 years and cannot imagine having anyone else cut my hair! Fun and funky vibe at JJ's contributes to the experience, but it is Linda who brings me back everytime! Not inexpensive, but wearing my hair short requires a lot of precision, and Linda does not disappoint. Initially referred by a friend who has been going to Linda for almost 20 years now! read more

I can honestly recommend Judy Jetson for all your follicular needs. I've been getting my hair cut by Lauren for over 10 years. In that time she has tamed my unruly thick hair each and every visit I've had to her. After you've been scheduled by one of the professional, friendly and fun receptionists you are on your way. The session starts with a delightful shampooing from one of several skilled assistants. Then on to Lauren for the fun part. She'll start by asking you what you are looking to do this time. Nothing is assumed based on previous cuts. You can try a new look whenever you are so inclined. Lauren has cut my hair super-short, spiky, mohawked and most recently madmen short styled. Each time she captures the look we talked about and I get a cut that grows in nicely and manageable. Most importantly, though, it's the cut that suits your hair type. My thick hair, thanks to the careful scissor work lays down and rests until the next cut. read more

I loved getting my hair cut here, and I love that I can see the structure of the cut when I shake my head, even a couple weeks after. I don't know a whole lot about hair styling (most of my knowledge comes from that reality show on Bravo), but I get the idea that everyone at the salon is up on modern technique, like using razors. I'd wanted a razor cut for so long, and this time instead of my asking for a razor cut, the stylist volunteered it. Price was on par with other salons in Porter Square, and actually lower than some. I also love that they have a frequent cut card. read more

Average. Pricey... there is so much competition that I can't seem to grasp why this place is viewed so highly? Must be the interior design... Or the name! Very cool name. read more

I have to say, I'm a big fan of Derrick's. He's first of all a super sweet guy that is nice to talk to, and I hate awkward silence during hair cuts, so this earns some stars right off the bat! The first time I went here I was looking to get rid of the blonde highlights that I had had for a long time, so my hair had taken a lot of bleach over the years. Derrick was honest about what exactly I would need the first time around (a double process color) I described the brunette shade I wanted, (darker, but with warmer tones to it, no red or blue tones) he got it right on. He also isn't afraid to thin my hair out (I have EXTREMELY thick hair), and does a great job with my side bangs every time! The next time I went back he recommended one more color (single process) as the ends had gotten a bit brassy as the brown faded out of my hair. This time (today) he said he didn't think I needed a color at all, and that my natural color looked good. He also listened when I told him I wanted to keep more length this time around. I will continue going back to him, and I find his cut prices of around 45 dollars pretty reasonable, as I don't need a cut that often! read more

I went and got my hair cut and highlighted here often. They are much better than the first place I encountered upon moving to Cambridge. They're very casual, and reasonably priced. I can't remember his name, but the dude with the multi-colored 'jester' hair rocked! I've never had great highlights until I met him! read more

I'm horrible when it comes to my hair. If it's long, I want it short. And if it's short, I want it long. Luckily for me, there's Judy Jetson. I get my hair cut by Danielle, and I can't say enough fabulous things about her. I could sit down in the chair, throw a blindfold on, and know that I would walk out of there looking amazing. I trust her entirely. The only bad part is that I no longer live right down the street. However, Judy Jetson (and Danielle) are worth the trip. read more

I had hair cut yesterday and Feri (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) did a spectacular job!! I have long curly hair and Feri gave me an edgy bob cut with some great curly hair tips along the way. I was the only customer for most of the time and they seem to have several good COVID safeguards in place. read more

Was looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly hair salon in Boston and a friend immediately recommended Judy Jetson. Set up and appointment on the same day and came in to get my hair cut by Feri. She did an AMAZING job and was so friendly- she showed me how to style my new haircut and spent lots of time making sure it was exactly what I wanted. Other than that, the decor and vibe of the place is very cool and laid back. Was offered wine, coffee, tea, and snacks as soon as I got there. Staff is very friendly and attentive and clearly cares about their customers a lot. Highly, highly, highly recommend!! read more

I am sad to say I did not have a good experience here. I asked for layers to be framed around my face beginning around my chin area at the start of my haircut. After cutting the rest of my hair, my stylist began to absentmindedly cut me bangs, then paused and asked me again what length I was looking for with some fear in her voice; now I am left me with very awkward half bangs that will require months to grow out that I did not want--I can't pull those several cut short locks back into a ponytail or behind my ears. I am frustrated with the quality of my haircut for the price I paid. I am a student and did opt for the lowest priced stylist, though that said, I never imagined asking for some face framing would be beyond my stylists' skill level. Sadly do not recommend. read more

Judy is the Mama Queen Bee! A very inked & pierced & crazy-colored hair friend recommended Judy Jetson to me when I first moved to Boston. I was cautious because I have curly auburn hair. When I get a haircut, I often look like a suburban crazy housewife or Bozo. I tried a couple of salons on Newbury Street, even the "king of curls" at Mario Russo -- dreadful experiences. I started going to Judy herself and never went anywhere else again. She's been my mom, my sister, my friend... and boosted my confidence. She tells it like it is, which I, for one, appreciate. I don't like that smarmy fake talk that sometimes happens in salons. Judy Jetson is the real deal! read more

Danielle is brilliant, an artist with those scissors! (She also seems like an all-around awesome person. I don't think I've ever had a better conversation with a hairdresser!) I came in with super long, heavy hair and wanted a drastic change. I gave her a few guidelines and she crafted a haircut I've never had or would have dreamt up myself. She chopped off all those heavy inches to give me a lovely short-ish/mid-length cut with bangs that makes me feel and look like an Italian model. So much volume, so many layers! So much liberation in this shapely little masterpiece! I've gotten tons of compliments on it and would direct anyone looking for a cool cut to Judy Jetson. This place is awesome if you're feeling adventurous, and tired of your old style. The staff seems genuinely excited about putting their personal touch to your cut--which is awesome if you're looking for a huge change, but Judy Jetson might not be for you if you're looking for something very specific or old hat. This place is funky, so go big or go to Hair Connection. read more

So I'm not sure what everyone's beef is with this place. I called on Tuesday, chatted with a very pleasant receptionist and booked an appointment with Katie for a cut the next day at 2pm. Katie was sort of a shot in the dark but my cut turned out just what I was looking for; good amount of length taken off and thinned down for good measure. I was in and out in about an hour and it was reasonably priced too ($40 sans tip). We chitty chatted a bit and there was no awkward "oh shit are we supposed to be talking? all the other client/hair dress combos are gabbing like they're at a sleepover party". There was a mix of different clients in there as well which was entertaining. I've always really dug the atmosphere in there as well. Sort of vampire-ish/gothic without being overly creepy. Also no attitude or bad vibes from anyone in there...If I'm back in the area I'd definitely go back. Good price, good atmosphere and a good haircut! Also, I had no credit card taking drama when I made my appointment. read more

I've been living in Cambridge for 4 years, and I had yet to find a hairstylist that was "mine." I just hadn't been overly impressed with anyone. That is, until I got my hair colored by Anisa here at Judy Jetson's! She is amazing. I came in with some ideas of the color I wanted, and she worked with me, gave me her great advice, and we together decided on the best color combo. It turned out beautifully. Additionally, her blow-out after the color was just great, my hair was shiny with no fly-aways. It looked like it should be in one of those hair commercials. I'm definitely going back! read more

After 6 years of doing the Japanese straightening on my hair, I decided to bring back the curls. What can I say? I guess I was just ready for a change (and looking to give my wallet a breather). I tried to let my curls grow out as long as I could, but a few weeks ago I just reached my limit and couldn't deal with my half curly/half straight 'do any longer. We just moved to Porter Square and I was intrigued the first time I walked by Judy Jetson because it reminded me of OxenRose, my fave salon in San Francisco. I went in for a consultation to just check the place out and once satisfied, took a deep breath and made my appointment. I saw Danielle and she was terrific. I was worried she'd want to go too edgy or funky (especially since we needed to cut like 4 inches off!) but she really heard my concerns that I wanted to go curly but didn't want anything crazy. After an hour I walked out of the salon with an adorable curly cut. It wasn't nearly as traumatic as I feared (mainly because I'm a wimp when it comes to cutting my hair) and Danielle actually really cut my curls well (layers around my face and around the crown of my head - just like you're supposed to!). And the best news: it wasn't nearly as pricey as that awful cut I got on Newbury a few months ago! I definitely recommend Judy Jetson and especially Danielle. read more

I'd never gone to a real Salon before. In the past I've always just gone into Supercuts-type places for quick cut, with sometimes horrific resutls. I saw Judy Jetson's while walking to Harvard square and the place looked cool, so I stopped in to check if they had space for walkins. They did, and Katie took care of me! Katie tamed my scruffy locks into the cutest pixie shag you've ever seen. I'd recommend her to any young women out there looking for a feminine look with spunk. She was really helpful guiding me toward a look that would flatter my face and fit with my personality, and we had a really friendly chat while she did the cut. Best $50 I've spent in ages! 10 STARS FOR KATIE!!! read more

After a terrible haircut at another location (coughSalonLunacough), I came to Judy Jetson in hopes they could fix my hair. They were able to take the hackjob from the other salon and gave me cute bob instead. My stylist asked a few times if I was okay with the length before cutting it, which I thought was great. I've had this haircut before, and he was able to pull it off flawlessly. He made sure my haircut was balanced and even. This is now my salon of choice. They staff was super friendly and are a talented bunch. Thank you for fixing my hair! I've gotten nothing but compliments on the new 'do. read more

Pretty awesome place! In 3 years - had my hair bleached, colored crazy punky shades (like pink or purple), colored more "normal" colors (lovely chocolate brown, deep auburn or red), and trims of all kinds! Have gone thru most of the stylists in the place (half while they were still "in training") and seriously - my hair has always turned out magical pretty. MAGICAL!! edit: I'm sorry, but David (was that his name?) not shutting up for even 5 seconds in the whole three hours I was there is a drag. A giant headache of a drag!! Everyone else is still beyond awesome, and my current haircolor is love read more

I finally decided it was time to chop off my hair. I'd been growing it out (from a ill-advised shaved head in high school) for six years, and I'd only gotten a trim since then. But I'm really more of a shoulder-grazing girl, so it was time to chop off about six inches. When the urge struck, I needed it to be done likerightnow. Since my normal salon was booked for the next month, I called Judy Jetson on a friend's recommendation. They said they could fit me in the next day, and the gentleman on the phone was incredibly polite and nice. I arrived about two minutes late, and after waiting all of a minute, I was greeted by Alana (I apologize if I butcher the spelling of her name). I explained to her what I wanted, and she totally got it. Both of us were pretty quiet during the cut itself, but I know that my brain function was still warming up on only one cup of coffee. Best. Haircut. Ever. It was exactly what I wanted, and I don't even think I explained it that well to her...she just knew! It was wonderful and I will definitely come back. I'm giving JJ only four stars because when I went to pay, the reception girl continued to sit there and text for a good thirty seconds without so much as acknowledging me, and then she was darn surly. But maybe she was still caffeinating as well. it wasn't that big a deal. read more

To start, I picked this place because of Yelp. A co-worker/friend of mine told me, a long time ago, that her roommate used to come here and loved it. After I scheduled my appointment, I finally got around to actually asking the roommate about her experience and it was not as over-the-top positive as my friend had first stated. I have met with Katie twice now and have no complaints. I made the bold-ish choice to cut off some srsly long hair and she did a wonderful job. It's low maintenance yet cute/trendy. The price is right here at about $45-50ish. I'm also not much of a talker when it comes to the whole schtick at salons but I find Katie great to talk to and someone who actually has a conversation - back and forth - and not just gabbing about themselves all the time. Anywho, she also is one of the types to help guide your decision short (how short? not that short? you can always cut it shorter, etc.) So I am thankful for that. GO Judy! GO Katie! Woot! read more

Kristen is awesome! My daughter had a great time! the prices are reasonable and the cash tipping policy is how it should be! Totally satisfied!! read more

Judy Jetson - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

So, I have salon hopped a lot in the Cambridge/Boston area and Judy Jetson is the most recent place I have ventured to try. I went in expecting a lot of attitude, given what a lot of other reviewers have said about the staff. I had Illana and I thought she was great. I let her know that I wanted some length off my hair but I wasn't really sure exactly what I wanted. She let me know what she was thinking and I thought it sounded great. Forty minutes, and 48 dollars after walking in, I walked out with a great haircut. A lot of reviewers complain about the price but it really is in line with most of the salons in the area. I liked the atmosphere of the salon and didn't feel out of place even though I just wanted a pretty regular haircut. read more

I've been going to Judy Jetson (specifically Nicole) for seven years, I started going to her in sixth grade, I'm now a freshman at Emerson College in Boston. I was recommended to Judy by a friend who went there for a long time as well. I wanted to get my hair dyed an insane color, or insane for hair anyway. I'd never had the chance to dye it like that professionally so I jumped at this chance when my mom offered it to me. We both went in for the consultation and I told her what I wanted, Nicole felt my hair, and showed me a few styles and ideas that would work best with my insane amount of hair (it's short but wicked thick) We went in a totally different direction than I came in with but loved it so much all the same. The first time it was black underneath and red on top, two toned and fantastic. I continued to go to Nicole every six months for a crazy dye job and each time I came in with a picture or with an idea and she would take it and give me something amazing. The customer service is always amazing. The receptionists always compliments me on the way out, and I always leave feeling like I left a party. Nicole always offers to get me food, water, or a magazine (though since I'm normally there for a while I bring a book) I got a haircut once after starting to go to Judy and it was a terrible experience. I am in desperate need of a haircut now and I'm going to go in tomorrow, taking the train for fifteen minutes and walking down Mass Ave. totally worth it for this place and their haircuts and colors. read more

I had a little bit of a time communicating what I wanted my hair to look like, so the starting process of the appointment was a little frustrating; HOWEVER, it was worth being the annoying client, because I love, love, LOVE my hair. Sadly, I can't for the life of me remember the name of the woman who did it, but I will try to figure it out for when I go back. I did so much research trying to find an alternative style salon; and I had my doubts...but it was well worth it. She styled it in a SICK manner when I left, and told me how to get it to look that way pretty much every day with minimal work. She knew her stuff; my fine, wavy, crazy hair included. Judy even called me a couple of days afterward to see how I liked my cut. I got a senior stylist, and gave her a decent tip, and it was well worth the (total) $65. (Though, just a heads up, bring cash for your tip! I had to run to the ATM because all I had was my bank card!) read more

Love Derrick and will be back for sure- I needed someone local to give me a good short cut. This is it! Price works, they got me in on an evening, Derrick was SUPER friendly from the get-go, and definitely listened- didn't just do what he wanted. Quick, pleasant, used nice product and asked good questions about what I do for a care regime daily to make sure the cut was something I could work with easily. My only issue- the older woman with glasses who I'm assuming is the owner (but not sure). She was heinously rude to another customer and a walk-in as I was waiting to pay. To an unbelievable extent. As in- my jaw dropped. The (paying customer) looked at me as if she were about to cry as she was being chastised for I don't even know what, whiIf it weren't for how sweet Derrik is and how much I like my cut, I would not go back...here's hoping I don't encounter this woman again! read more

This was my first trip to Judy Jetson and I had heard of them through a friend of a friend who had had their hair cut there before. I was really happy with my overall JJ experience. I was able to get an appointment within 2 days of my calling and was set up with an appointment with Danielle. The place is easy to find, a short walk from Porter Sq., and everyone there seemed very friendly. I went in with a general idea of what I wanted and Danielle was great at taking that in and advising me on how it would work with my hair, etc. I left very happy with my haircut and plan to return in the future. Thanks for a pleasant first visit JJ! :) read more

I went in for hair color and cut today. Nicki did a fabulous job taking my out-of-the box brassy blonde that I did my self to a 2 step process that brought the hi and low lights of warm blonde tones in just perfectly!!! Then Linda took it to the next level with the perfect cut, complimenting the shape of my face and giving me what I wanted, but recommending just what I needed to tweek it up a notch. WHAT A TEAM!!!! Not only will I look great at my friend's wedding next week, I'm gonna be the best looking Mother of the Bride EVER!!! read more

Judy Jetson is a super hip, fun, and quality place to get your hair cut. While I'm sure they're capable of nearly any hair style request, there's no denying they certainly cater towards a specific clientele. The quirky atmosphere and hipster stylists easily out-cool all of us. Don't worry, you're not alone if you suddenly feel old and boring when you walk through the door. That being said, I have gone there for more conservative cuts, and they've done a fine job. Recently I went in and wanted a bit of excitement and color, while still looking professional at work. Carmi did a fantastic job of creating a "peekaboo" look with bright pinks, purples, and blues, blended perfectly into my long brown locks. The style is bold, yet easy to conceal during work hours. Prices are on par with any other upscale salon, though atmosphere is a bit more laid back. Don't expect a coat check and shoulder massage. read more
