I got my hair cut/styled by Nicole for my last haircut. I have to admit she did an amazing job. I have naturally straight-ish hair and went in wanting curly for the day. She gave me exactly what I wanted and I got compliments on my hair for the weeks following, straight or curly. I was disappointed that she would not color my hair, and was going to charge me what I feel like is a lot of money for a highlights job, but the cut was more than worth it and a decent price. read more

I've been going here for over 10 yrs and would recommend the place -- specifically Linda K. I've never gotten a bad haircut, been left on hold or anything I've read about below. It's a good place. read more

Anyone who says they wouldn't recommend Judy Jetson is crazy! My friend from NYC drives ALL the way up from Cambridge to get her hair cut by Danielle. Judy Jetson is pricey because it is worth it. You can get your hair cut and colored for $10 anywhere but if you want style and attention to detail and fabulous atmosphere then you pay for it. You want to pay cheap then you get cheap service. And you can't beat that they are open 7 days a week and until 8pm almost every day! Danielle recently just saved my hair from a disastrous box color that I ruined my hair with. She gave me a free consultation - gave me an appointment within 2 days and stayed on her time 2 hours after closing to be sure that it came out perfect...which it did! read more

Eight months later and I still hate my haircut. I don't even remember my stylists name (Fairy?). All I can say is, I went in to get one inch cut and not angled in the front. She must have have cut off 5 inches and angled the front. It still bothers me today. Eight months later. It's still not the length it was. Eight months later with nearly 2-3 inches to go. I highly recommend not getting your haircut here. read more

A friend recommended Judy Jetson's to me a few years ago. The receptionist asked me what type of hair I had, I told her that I had fine hair and she said that I should see Linda Kirk. I brought a picture when I went to get my hair cut b/c I was too nervous about trying to describe what I wanted. My hair came out awesome. I loved it and I got so many compliments on it. Since then I have been seeing Linda Kirk to get my hair cut every 3 months and I have loved every cut that she has given me. At this point I barely even tell her what to do. I give her a general idea and tell her to do what she wants. My hair always comes out super cute. It is hard to find someone that can do a good cute/edgy haircut, but Linda manages every time. I have had my hair cut long by Linda and short and she has never made me look "butch" or like a page boy (which is kind of a miracle). A few months ago I moved to L.A. but I still go back to Judy Jetson's to have my hair cut by Linda every time I am home. Not only is she a great hairstylist, but she is also super nice. read more

I recently got my hair cut by Carmi and she did a superb job! She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. The price is beyond reasonable for what you get and the atmosphere is fantastic, without the pretentiousness you get at other salons. A+ read more

Let me preface this by saying that I have a devotion to my hairstylists that borders on religious fervor. The situation that created for me was that after I moved to Boston several years ago, I spent almost a year commuting 5 hours to my stylist from where I was living before. Even I could accept that that was pretty ridiculous. So I asked around with some co-workers, and everyone with the best haircuts went to Josh at Judy Jetson's. At the initial consultation, I was scared. The place has the look of a Salon and Josh looks like a Stylist. It's possible I was wearing pink Crocs. I think my directions might have been something like "You can just trim it, but NO more than half an inch." Josh talked me through it, suggesting a different shape that would better suit my face and hair texture/length and off we went. Dozens of haircuts later, I'm still a huge fan. Long, short, layered. It has all looked great. It grows out really nicely, the cuts keep their shape, and I've referred (proselytized?) many people. The price is about (or perhaps slightly less) than what you can expect to pay in a Boston salon. Either you're a person who feels comfortable spending $50 on a haircut, or you're not. I think it's worth it. I think the other factor to really recommend Judy Jetson's is that there are a really wide variety of clients who have found their niche here: all genders, with many different tastes in hair styles. read more

Danielle has been cutting my hair for over a year, and I have loved every haircut. I keep my hair short and I am very picky with the cut. Danielle always listens to my comments, and talks about my cut before she washes my hair. Plus, she is fun! I also love Sharon, the receptionist - she is a doll, and always remembers my name. If you are looking for a funky yet comfortable salon Judy Jetson is the place! read more

Great stylists, great decor, a kick-ass receptionist who always remembers my name and always reminds me to get my discount card punched. Anyways, I've gotten more compliments on haircuts since I started going to JJ's than ever before. Danielle is really great at translating my vague descriptions of how I want my hair to look into haircuts that actually look great - it's kinda like magic. Highly recommended. read more

five stars to Danielle. I chopped off over 10 inches, and my short bob is beyond hot. Great price, great cut--what more could you want? read more

Yesterday I went to another salon and got my hair messed up beyond repair ... so I thought.It looked like my highlights (which looked like it had been done with a magic maker) Later that night I walked over to Judy Jetson's and Judy was at the desk, she took one look at me and was terrified. She seemed ever angrier than I was. She scheduled me a consultation the the next day (a Sunday) with Linda C and said that I could schedule for the following weekend (since I have a tight schedule). The every next day, I met with Linda C and after talking about what needed to be done, she asked me when I wanted to do it. I told her I could only do weekends and she said, "Well then we need to do it today." She wasn't going to let me go the whole week with my hair looking suck a reck. They were suppose to close at 7pm but she stayed there until 8:15pm to get my hair done and was super sweet about it. She fixed my hair, not only does it look awesome but it feels so soft. If you need high lights, low lights, any type of coloring, or just need someone to fix a hair color disaster Linda C is definitely the one to go to. She is my hair hero !!!! read more

Linda Kirk at Judy Jetson is a hair genius! She gave me many gorgeous haircuts over the past months, showed me how to style my hair for work, and for night! If you want a hairdresser who listens to what you want and gives you it exactly, then go see her! She is adorable, funny, and professional! I moved out of boston but if I were still there, I'd still be a Linda- and Judy Jetson- groupie/loyal customer!!! read more

This place is fantastic. Went by recommendation to David and he did a terrific job. He was as funny as he was talented and really took the time to make sure everything was perfect. I let him do whatever he thought would make my hair look it's best and it turned out amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new stylist. read more

My hair didn't look awful, but it wasn't what I wanted. I got my hair cut and colored by Ace. He didn't listen to a single thing I said and didn't ask any of the basic questions (where do you part your hair? what kind of bangs do you want?). He didn't say a word to me just rush rush, cut cut, and then it was done. When I walked in, I told him specifically I was there because I had recently gotten my hair colored, and it wasn't light enough - he made it darker! Then some excuse that pretty much amounted to my opinion was stupid and didn't matter. What a waste. Oh, and it is cash tip only, and there isn't an ATM around. And there aren't envelopes to put your tip in, so you awkwardly have to leave it at the stylist's station. read more

My first yelp review- but these guys deserve it. I made an appointment at Judy Jetson on a Sunday to get my first Brazilian keratin treatment by Derrick. I had read previous reviews that the hair was excellent but that some people thought there was an attitude or that people were down right rude. Could not be farther from the truth! The redline was out of service so I was half an hour late but they accomodated me anyway. I guess I wasn't worried about attitude- I have come to expect it at upscale salons but these guys really went out of their way to be nice. Then- concerned I might not like the keratin treatment- Derrick talked me into a less permanent (less expensive!) version although certainly not less work for him. He wanted to be sure I'd be happy. Then they all wanted to know how it turned out and how happy I was the week later. I loved it and am going back for the permanent one. Happy I found them! read more

Linda at Judy Jetson took a lot of time talking with me, looking at my hair, my face, skin color, eye color, and talking about my lifestyle and what kind of a cut I'd have the nerve to try. I admit, I walked in looking really awful. But after a new cut, nothing like any cut I've had before in my life - fresh and fun - works with my unruly hair, and some new color - I look great. And all my friends are telling me so. Remember to have some cash on hand for tips, because they don't add tips to credit cards at Judy Jetson. And you're going to want to tip when Linda's done with you! :) Thanks, Linda - and yes, I will try to take better care of my hair from now on!! See you in six weeks!! read more

I desperately needed a haircut when I first moved to Boston & Judy Jetson's was a couple blocks from my house so I decided to give them a try. Great choice! After chatting and looking at my hair for a while Linda C. turned my very straight hair into something that has shape and body and the cut lasts a long time (I think I went 11 weeks over the summer while she was traveling and it didn't feel too long until the last week). I was a little nervous at first as she put lots of layers in but she definitely knows what she's doing so you just have to go with it! She also does great color. Highly recommend her! Oh and she's really funny too :) I think the prices are totally reasonable (I've paid the same amount for inferior haircuts) and when they call to confirm your appointment they remind you that it's cash only tips so it shouldn't come as a big surprise... read more

Dear Judy: You have a great service in your salon that I have never seen anywhere else. It was my first visit to your Salon and I really enjoyed my time there. I have to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH to LINDA C. She is a great person and has a very pleasant personality. She did my hair. I came to her with a long, and thick hair, that I did not cut for almost 3 years. She was patient with me, because I was not sure, if she is going to cut it as I want it . Now I just love me hair it looks awesome. Linda C. advised me so much about my hair, Judy you really has a good workers in your Salon especially LINDA C. Reader: If you have a long, thick, or messy hair, go and see Linda C. is number one with haircut. You can feel you are in a safe hand you really feel the look of before and after the cut. Remember: You always have to pay more for the good so the salon little bit pricey, but it will be worth it!!!! read more

Feri did my hair for my wedding on 9-24-10. She was creative and amazing. My hair never looked better. It stayed in all day and night. I couldn't recommend her enough. She is very professional and she listens to what you want. I will never, ever go to another salon! read more

I have never written a review before, but I felt I had to with this place. I have had my hair cut by some of the best places out there but have never gotten the kind of service that Judy offers. Linda K. is amazing. She took the time to listen and I got possibly the best hair cut of my life. About a week after my appointment I got a phone call from Judy the owner asking if all went well with my first appointment. Are you kidding me, business is not done like this (though it should be) Judy is just a wonderful women. Judy Jetson is a shining beacon of how business should be done. I couldn't be happier !!!!! read more

I came in to Judy Jetson's with the desire to have my shoulder-length hair which had gotten pretty scruffy, cut up to my chin (which is where I've always worn it). After expressing this to the stylist, Carmi, she proceeded to trip off 1/4 of an inch from the back of my head and not even touch the front. It looked as uncut and unkempt as when I walked in. It wasn't terrible, it just didn't look as if anything had been done to it (and it desperately needed to be cut again). What sucks is that I wasted 55$ on it and now, 4 days later, with job interviews coming up, I have to go pay to have it cut by someone competent. The stylist was inexperienced, her conversation was annoying and she simply didn't listen to what I wanted done. Don't waste your time or money on this place. read more

I was recommended to Judy Jetson from a friend, who hair cut I admired so much. I have a trip coming up this week and wanted a really nice hair cut to compliment me. I was excited to make my appointment. The receptionist was rude and placed me on hold several times. I already have hair extensions and wanted a sleek a symmetrical bob for an upcoming trip. I was told that they did not cut hair extensions and had no one that was qualified to do so. It struck me as being odd, seeing as though they put in hair extensions, why would they not have the ability to cut it? I asked to speak with a manager and the receptionist told me to email Judy Jetson on her email. Flustered, by the rude customer service and the fact I needed my extensions just shaped into a style, I called back. Then they placed me on hold for 5 minutes and said they would be able to do it, but only one stylist could. They gave me the whole gamete about the credit card reservation, and that it would cost $55, and a cash tip. I was not asking them for a wash, cut, and blow dry. I was asking for a cut and shape. This is not Newbury Street, and $55 was excessive not including the tip. My experience over the phone was horrible, and they need to fire their receptionist. They also need to be more culturally aware of different types of hair and techniques. My money is green and I went and spent my money on Newbury Street where I got just what I was asking for. read more

Had my first hair cut here last week. I didn't really know what I wanted but my stylist made an awesome recommendation and I loved it. The owner, Judy, called me today to personally check in on my experience. Awesome customer service! read more

Since my idea of a haircut is safely at my bathroom mirror with a pair of scissors, with an occasional Supercuts splurge, I get shivers from the thought of going to a salon. However, my hair was a mop-like, spirally-curly/frizzy afro from the summer humidity, so I decided to try keratin. Derrick, the stylist, was so kind & friendly. The day after the treatment, extreme humidity had returned the frizz & wave back to my hair. Derrick offered to re-iron my hair & told me the Keratin treatment would still work. The owner came out to say hi & I really liked her--we chatted about travels and buying gorgeous things at Marshall's. I love the way she decorated her salon. They also leave out coffee & water which is really nice while you wait. So far the frizz is gone-- it's only three days away from the treatment, but I think it will work out great in the end after I wash my hair. Four stars because Derrick & the owner were so great, they really make you feel welcome. The stylists also have nice hair. read more

I have wavy/curly hair and went in to get shape back to my overgrown hair. The stylist refused to take some length off - eventually after the cut NOBODY including my husband could tell I got a haircut!! After spending all that money, I had to go to a different place to get the cut I wanted. read more

Too hip for my taste but Feri (sp?) is fantastic! I'm used to stylists who pretend to listen to you and do whatever they want to do with your hair. Feri actually listens and gives you the exact haircut you want. Such a sweetheart too. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Judy Jetson- cool vibe, eclectic interior. It's definitely a trendy place and not your mom's hair salon (unless your mom is really hip...). They are open late on weekdays which is convenient if you want to get your haircut after work. The receptionist was able to recommend a stylist for my first visit based on my hair type. Taylor was great- friendly and paid a lot of attention to detail. They even to a $5 off for your first visit and some kind of discount if you refer 5 friends. Overall really good price/value for Boston, I will definitely be going back. read more

Judy Jetson was recommended by a friend and I booked an appointment with Danielle. I am SO glad I did. I'm going to grow out my hair and my angled bob was looking really really weird. She gave me a great cut with lots of bounce and instructed me to wait about 4-5 months before getting it cut again. It's very low maintenance and works even without my normal blowdry routine. She was great at listening to what I wanted and my concerns. Highly recommended. read more

I have been a loyal Judy Jetson customer since 2008 -- until today. Sadly, I will never return to this salon after my callous treatment today. This is a story about how Judy Jetson rewards brand loyalty -- by treating long-time devoted customers like very disposable, anonymous faces. I have spent a lot of money at this salon over the years and spent a LOT of time there in a salon chair. I have also referred a number of people to the salon, many of whom also became regular customers. I've never had a bad thing to say. I praised this place and recommended it with enthusiasm to everyone. But today's brutal disrespect changes everything for me, and I will never go back. (Ilana, I will miss your skillful haircuts. Sharon, I will miss your sweetness.) Judy's has a 24-hour cancellation policy; I respect that. I can't say that I've never cancelled, but I have always done so within 24 hours. Today, that wasn't possible. I have a 1-year-old son and he woke up this morning with a very severe stomach bug. If any of you have children, you know how sick little ones can get, and how it can come on really suddenly. When I realized this morning that I would not be able to keep my afternoon appointment, I called up and apologized for the late notice and explained my situation. I couldn't leave my son, I said, noting that I understood the policy, but definitely wanted to reschedule (in fact, I made a new appointment I have since cancelled) and asked for any leniency in their policy, since I have been such a committed customer for 5+ years. After all, this was not a case of someone with chronic cancellation problems or forgetfulness. This was a situation of a mother with a sick child. The receptionist said she would need to phone Judy to make an exception. Maybe I'm naive, but I honestly thought a business owner would view me as a loyal fan of her business and someone with no record of doing this before. I'll admit it -- I expected her to waive the no-show charge -- just this once!! -- or charge me only 50 percent out of respect for my years of loyalty. Even a 50 percent charge would have seemed fair, and not made me feel like a faceless patron. Needless to say, that did not happen. The receptionist bluntly explained that I would be causing the salon to lose money, and so my circumstances -- and history with the salon -- didn't really matter. (Please note: It was not Sharon who said this. Sharon is great. I really wish I had been dealing with her today.) I asked for Judy to give me a call, and she never did. (So much for caring about her customers. She's never even in her salon, anyway, so maybe that's why she doesn't really have a pulse on her clientele.) It turns out, the salon ended up filling my appointment, so they actually lost no money on me. In fact, they made about $60 in profit and made me feel like my years of going there were worth nothing to them. I'll be honest: My feelings are hurt! I felt like I had a relationship with this salon, and then I got slapped in the face, all because I'm a mom with a sick child. And here's what that 60 bucks cost them -- my business. I hope Judy knows that she made a lousy $60 today at the cost of alienating a former fan -- and losing all of my future business. read more

Hey folks, hear my story: I have suffered trauma-inducing haircuts in the past, the kind that left me wishing it would miraculously start raining in the classroom so that I'd have a good excuse to hide my locks underneath an umbrella. See... I have thick and unpredictable curly hair, the likes of a loofah on a bad day, a luscious princess on rare occasions. As you can imagine, I have avoided hair salons for the last 5 years until my hair got ridiculously long and unshapely. This is when I gathered enough courage to step into Judy Jetson. I was terrified and my heart was racing, but soon enough, I found out that I was in good hands. One word: Nicole. I highly recommend her! She LISTENS and God isn't that important! Before any chopping was done, she sat me down and took the time to hear my concerns. She felt my hair and spread it out to assess its texture. She then explained to me what needed to be done. Nicole is so patient, but even THAT is an understatement. I'm pretty sure she spent no less than 45 minutes discussing my hair! What impressed me most though is that she suggested to cut my hair dry! In the past, I have begged hairdressers to do exactly that but instead was brushed off with disdain. She cut dry each and every curl in its resting position. She only wet my hair towards the end to clean out and complete the look. This allowed her to see what was going on with the hair in its natural state. I'll definitely be heading over to see Nicole again. My fears of looking like a poodle are slowly receding, and for that, I thank you Judy Jetson. read more

Let me get straight to the point: I got so many compliments on the haircut that Danielle gave me... sometimes, like, twice in a row from the same person. Conservatively speaking, it is probably the best haircut I think I have ever had. Best of all, it is super easy to maintain (and she showed me exactly how to do it), so I wear my hair down more now than I did before and it looks just as great after a wash as it did right after the cut. I didn't have a strong idea of what I wanted my hair to look like (just a general sense of how long I wanted it to be), and more or less gave her free reign over my head. Also my hair is wavy/curly (not too thick), which generally makes it a little tougher to get a good result. But I am totally thrilled with how it came out! :-) read more

I have had a really good experience at Judy Jetsons. Since my arm fracture last year it has been a great place for me to go. Everyone is always friendly and smiles and the brief convos are good also. I am lucky enough to live close to Judy Jetsons and have loved it ever since read more

This is my first-ever Yelp review, under special circumstances. I have been going to Judy Jetson for years and years, and always liked the vibe of the place and the haircuts I got there (some better than others, but generally positive experiences). I have long hair and like some long layers and blended angles. I wasn't completely happy with my last cut there, probably because of a miscommunication with the stylist. Anyway, as a student, I can't really afford to go elsewhere to fix it--so I ended up calling Judy (the owner) and explaining the situation. She was extremely friendly and understanding, and offered to re-do the cut herself. She was an absolute genius and understood intuitively what I was going for. She was completely professional and efficient, casual and talkative--and my hair looked amazing when I walked out. I loved the way she handled the situation and will certainly go back. read more

Best haircut I have had, way better than pricier cuts I have had in L.A.. and though I have had a few decent haircuts in Boston, this place takes the cake. My stylist is Feri, and each cut is perfect. Feri is fantastic, and listens carefully to what you want. She can also help you nail something down if you are only vaguely sure of what you want (like I usually am). The atmosphere is great and I have had consistently excellent customer service. I feel like it is a bargain every time I go in there. Feri's haircuts grow out better than I any others I have had. My hair looks good for several months, so getting one $60 cut a few times a year seems like a better deal than getting a $40 cut that looks good for a week or two, ok for a month and then terrible, forcing me to go again in 2-3 months. My hair is thin and wavy, and she is the only stylist who has effectively cut it to help with volume at the crown without chopping it into weird chunky layers. I feel like a new and improved version of myself every time I walk out of there. read more

Lots of attitude, dispropotionate to the actual haircut. The last straw was when they burned my ears while doing color. burned. the tops. of my ears. blistered the skin on the tops of my ears from leaving the stipper on too long. didn't apologize, diffidently charged me full price. tip? they're lucky I didn't ask them to repay me for the ointment I had to buy for my ears. I'm not kidding. the. colorist. burned.my. ears. from judy jetson, pure attitude and bluster in response. this place is too hip for its own good. let me repeat. burned. my. ears. sheesh. read more

I am new to the area and have been avoiding a haircut for awhile since I had no idea where to go. I decided to try Judy Jetson's and I was not disappointed. They got me in the very next day. Jenn cut my hair and did an absolutely awesome job. I will definitely be going back to have her color my hair too!! I am very happy with my overall experience and I loved that the salon was not your typical salon. I would definitely recommend. read more

My daughter and I were in Cambridge for my son's wedding and Judy Jetson was highly recommended by some of his friends for hair and make-up. We had a great experience there. The stylists did an excellent job with her hair and my wig. Our make-up also looked terrific. We both received many compliments. Everyone was friendly and it was a pleasure to meet Judy. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Starting with the negatives - Judy Jetson's is hip and all, but definitely not so cozy - staff are good folks but purple hair and wry humor you get, not so much that warm-fuzzy feeling. I've had my hair cut here several times - the first time I was not at all happy with the results and regretted spending the big bucks, but I went back because everybody else I knew just raved about it. So I've had my last two cuts there - both times loved my hairstyle and got plenty of compliments. Those times, I went in knowing what I wanted, explained it to the stylist, Nicole - she *listened* to me, and actually spent some time making it happen with my thick, wavy, hard-to-cut hair. I think she's quite talented - most importantly, she worked to give me what *I* want, and seems to know how to make styles that work well with the unusual texture of my hair, without hairdryers or tons of gel - a rare talent. With Nicole, I felt like the money I spent at Judy's was absolutely worth it. read more

My wife has been looking for someone who can creatively cut short hair for as long as I can remember. Most stylists are afraid to cut it too short, and the ones that are willing to haven't had the sense of style or precision that an edgy and funky short cut demands. She had read some of the mixed reviews for JJ's but on a recommendation got turned on to Linda K. (there are two Linda's there) and decided to give her a try and she is so glad she did. Linda K. was everything she had been looking for in a cutter. Personable, creative, confident, extremely talented and, most of all, passionate about short hair. Bottom line, my wife was ecstatic about the hair cut and Linda K. And when she's happy everyone's happy including me. As a final note, we didn't notice an abundance of attitude with the JJ staff - everyone was nice and helpful. Nobody seemed to be trying too hard to be cool. Yeah there's a lot of ink but we found the vibe a lot more fun, friendly and funky than the Newbury Street scene. We highly recommned Linda K. if you're looking for a new short hair guru. read more

Judy's has some very hip, talented stylists, but TERRIBLE management. (As other reviews (and staff!) will tell you.) I made an appointment to have my hair styled up for my friends wedding- a service that was going to cost me $85. I assumed that making an appointment meant that I would have a stylist working on my hair- but alas, no! Instead, a self-identified "intern" was the ONLY ONE who worked on me. (I asked him at one point what he usually does as an intern... he proceeded to tell me that he usually just watches the stylists, washes hair, or mixes hair color. He told me he wasn't even allowed to do hair...) If he was decent at doing hair (side note: he was a nice kid!), I wouldn't be here... I asked upon arrival for an up-do with loose curls. He spent two hours straightening my curly hair and putting in banana curls. He added a super messy bump to the front, which we both acknowledged wasn't perfect.) As time was running out, I said, "do whatever you think will look good." The hair stylist said that the curls wouldn't hold, and that if I wanted it to look good I would need an up-do- which I agreed to. Never done. (Honest language barrier perhaps- she had a thick accent.) It wasn't my wedding, and I am not one to make a scene. So, I accepted the fate of the hair, and paid. An hour later- before the wedding even started- my hair was limp and unimpressive. I called the next day to speak with the manager/owner about coming up with some sort of "return" since I didn't get the service I paid for (I paid for a stylist to do my hair, and didn't have a stylist even touch my hair). I was told the owner would call back- I waited a week and a half. No call. I called again and left a message. No call back. I called on the day she was working and spoke with her. I was very disappointed with the lack of professionalism. Anyone will tell you that I am easy to work with- most likely including the woman I spoke with on day one- but the owner I spoke with was being accusatory and sharp with her words. She told me that returns cannot be made, which I accepted- and that the only thing that would happen is that she would have to re-do the service herself. I agreed and asked for a certificate in writing. She not only denied me a certificate or proof in writing, but continued to say "you are really going to need another up-do?!" and she hung the phone up on me... I could say more, but I think I have made my point. Very disappointed. read more
