I've been here three times now to get straight perms and a digital perm done by Juju and I don't think I will go anywhere else now. Juju is an absolute gem and really knows what she's doing when it comes to hair. She also speaks English pretty well so it is easier to communicate with her if you don't speak Chinese. Perms can take up to a couple hours so she also makes sure you keep up your stamina by offering you snacks and water/coffee. The service in general at this salon is pretty quick and efficient and thorough in terms of getting people in and out quickly. read more

Great bayalage done by lulu! This is a great salon for affordable hair care. I'd choose Le's any time.

Candy is wonderful. She's incredibly nice and truly takes the time to listen to what you want. She also gives thoughtful, honest recommendations that actually make sense for your hair. I felt completely comfortable in her chair, and the result was exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who really cares. read more

I asked for a new hair color and was given the same color that I had previously. No noticeable differences in my hair except for roots. Spent $180. They offered to fix it and then told me AFTER they added a second layer of color that it couldn't be done. Hair stylist convinced me that after a few weeks, the color would wash out to the shade that I wanted and after 6 weeks it was the same. Also left my hair incredibly dry and way more damaged than before. The service offered the results of a root touch up for over double the price- it is usually only $80 for a root touch up. Very disappointed. Attached is what I got vs. what I wanted read more

Somewhere between a 3 and 4 for me. A huge pro is the price and convenience. My haircut was only $40 and Mobo, my stylist, was super efficient in cutting all my straggly ends, blow drying it, and straightening it, and the cut looks good even after a wash at home (the true test of a haircut is how it looks after that first wash!). My Mandarin is passable enough in conveying what I wanted for a haircut and Mobo did exactly what I asked: take off the bottom inches, a few framing layers around the face, nothing too adventurous. Hair is hair and will grow out but no one wants a stylist going rogue. That said, a few things to bear in mind: 1. Le's is extremely low-frills, to the point of having lots of hair unswept on the ground. I don't consider myself super snobby and often have better, more bang-for-your buck experiences at the lower-end places than the $$$$ salons. However, I couldn't get over the piles and piles of hair just laying there underfoot. 2. I had just enough cash on me to pay for the haircut and tip both Mobo and the hair washer but I would have preferred to pay with card. When I asked at first if I could use a card, Mobo said only cash; then, when my husband decided to get a haircut too after I was finished and fished out his credit card, Mobo didn't say anything, even though, not two minutes earlier, he was insisting on cash. Sigh. 3. My hair wash was brisk yet thorough, no complaints. What I didn't like was she didn't bother to fully tie up the towel when she was done and dropped me off at the chair, so that my sopping hair just kind of ... laid there with a towel carelessly placed on top of it. Overall, my baseline for a good haircut is extremely low and my hair grows super slowly so I only get one cut every year, so this did the job. read more

Juju was referred to me by one of my friends! Juju speaks English pretty well, when I got there she just asked me to describe how I wanted my hair cut, asked some followup questions to make sure she had the right idea, and then she worked her magic! (I did not need to show her any photos for reference). She did such an amazing job, especially for the price! I would recommend her to anyone in the area! read more

This place is actually so amazing for any and all appointments! They have the fairest pricing and have been in business for over 10 years. Please choose Juju for all balayages since she is detailed with mixing colors so well that it looks very natural. She ensures that the process in which the dye lightens is pretty every step of the way. All my friends keep complimenting my hair. Their work was so incredible that I really cannot recommend it enough. 每一个员工都特别仔细！他们的心很好还有他们会尽量给你你想要的。好多朋友都来这边无论是染发或剪头发！我最喜欢的是Juju! read more

Le's Beauty Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Horrible horrible horrible!! I came here with no expectations to get 1-2 inches trimmed. He CHOPPED my hair off completely. Four inches. When I told him that he just laughed and started cutting layers that I strictly said not to do. Never coming back hair. I have never cried over a haircut until now. The hair salon itself had a decent set up but nothing makes up for the quality and treatment. read more

Super nice and just what I wanted. Very professional. I've been to almost every hair salon in Chinatown and she does it best! This is the first one I've been to that I definitely want to go back to. read more

My first haircut in Boston. Came in with no expectations and they let a trainee cut my hair. And he shaved my head in three seconds. The boss came to save, but it was too late that she couldn't make my hair even. So she put plenty of gel in my hair and told me this haircut is for free. I mean you need to pay me instead if you want to experiment with my hair. I left with this unbalanced haircut. I don't know about her haircut skills but definitely not a responsible person. You just ruined my weekend and next week you piece of shut. read more

Did not listen to what I wanted and chopped my hair off 4 inches without my permission. Would give this 0 stars if I could.

My boo and I each made an appointment for a haircut with Candy. My boo's hair is super coarse and a bit tough to manage - Candy smoothed out her hair so it had a nice soft shape to it. I had let my hair go and Candy was very attentive to cleaning up my mess when she gave me a slightly graduated bob. In both cases, Candy was super gentle. We both are very satisfied and so happy we came in. And the price was very reasonable.The salon does accept credit cards but strongly prefers cash so remember to stop by the ATM before your appointment. read more

Ken never disappoints you seriously! EVERY time he meets what I want. Love how the result turned out. The team at Le's works very well too! Everyone helps each other whenever someone is free! The lady who came to dry my hair when she saw I was sitting there with wet hair until the other guy who assisted came! So sweet! I didn't go to another hairstylist here but I always go to Ken whenever I need a new hair look! Highly recommended! read more

Went there to have a haircut today. I was so exited reading those positive reviews and didn't check the bad one. The first encounter with a very rude cashier. I get it ppl have bad days but you don't have to take it on strangers. Then there is the hair stylist he just didn't listen to how I wanted my hair to be done and I just don't like the end result. When I mentioned that he was cutting my hair too short, he just told me to relax. Ugh. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Affordable prices and good quality! The person who cut my hair was very meticulous too!

I have been going to Le's for haircuts for years and it feels like the quality has decreased. One exception I will say is the hairdresser Candy, who has an amazing personality and above-average skills. For the most recent haircut I went for, my hair looked unhealthy and frisky afterward. The texture of the cut is rugged, and the things I asked for (fixing the bangs, trimming the bottom) did not get accomplished. Rather, my hair got thinned too much, and the attempt to style was atrocious, so now it looks unhealthy from being too thin as well as messy from the uneven edges everywhere. Le's is ok to go if you just want something simple like getting your hair length reduced. But if you're looking for styling to improve your appearance, I would say Le's doesn't cut it anymore. read more

Helped me out with a walk-in haircut when the online appointment I'd booked at a neighboring salon on the same street stood me up (salon literally shuttered closed 10 minutes past appointment time and not answering phone). Staff were accommodating, efficient, and the haircut was great and very reasonably priced. Perfect results with very little stylistic guidance. Would be thrilled to return. read more

Paid $37 + tip for a haircut + wash (before and after) with Candy. Extremely happy with the haircut, Candy takes her time to understand what you want, explains the steps, and makes great conversation throughout the whole cut. Best to make an appointment but they do take walk-ins and they are cash preferred. read more

I had a phenomenal experience here yesterday, which compelled me to write this review. This is my second visit to Le's Salon (my first was 2 years ago, my hairdresser then was JuJu and she was also fantastic!) and I scheduled an appointment with Candy for a haircut & styling session. Firstly, I arrived 30mins late to my appointment due to traffic, but because it was towards the end of salon hours with less clients, I was still seated promptly. Secondly, I am so glad that I had made an appointment with Candy for my haircut. The moment I sat down, Candy was friendly and helpful. I gave her some reference pictures on how I wanted my hair cut, but I also inquired with her about her opinion on what would suit me best. After a few minutes of discussion, Candy got started on the haircut and the result was phenomenal. She was very respectful of my wishes (I've had experience with some hairstylists would choose to cut hair the way they want, instead of listening to my needs) and she was talking to me throughout the process. My hair came out a bit different from the reference photo, but it was fantastic nonetheless. This was one of the rare instances when I would come out of a salon and actually be ecstatic about the results! My boyfriend also got his hair cut here (by a male hairdresser - I didn't get his name unfortunately) and came out looking amazing as well! The price was very affordable, especially considering the quality! My boyfriend's haircut and mine came out only to a total of $65. My hair was quite long (lower-back length) and my boyfriend's hair was below shoulder length, and yet the price for both our cuts came out to be approximately the cost of 1 haircut at other places. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the experience I had here! I'm not from Boston and I usually get my haircut in my home country when I visit every summer, but I might have to rethink that after this! read more

Nice and professional! Fair price. Candy is so professional. Highly recommend her. Nice job and well done

Got a long layered cut with Juju and am very happy with the outcome. She was very precise and took care in trimming and snipping even the smallest amounts of hair to make everything even. You can tell she cares about her craft! She even curled my hair with a straightening iron and the curls lasted 3 days. I've yet to get my hair to hold any curl for more than a couple of hours on my own. Cash only - my haircut was $35 before tip which is a steal for a haircut from the salon owner. Why not 5 stars? The salon was backed up with customers in different stages of their haircut. I was left with wet hair slumped all over my head and face while Juju finished blow drying and cutting the hair on the girl next to me who had been there for a few hours already. Hopefully, they can get staffing managed in the future :) Would def come back for another haircut! read more

Reviewing 6 months after getting Japanese Straightening perm: Minh did my Perm and I was not disappointed! He was very gentle and very attentive. He made sure I was hydrated as this took like 5 hours. I naturally have curly fizzy hair and was really worried that it won't work since I had keratin treatment in the past and it didn't completely straightened my hair but Minh did such a good job that even 6 months later it's still look soooo good (pics attached. All just wash + coconut oil+ air dry // also don't judge my very discolored hair haha) The price is the best in town total is a little over $300 (perm + tip) such a steal considering how long my hair was. read more

I had a male stylist! He was really great and super quick. He seen the picture I had and did exactly that. I had a wash cut and blow dry for 35 dollars. This will be a place I will come to more often. It's in Chinatown close to Tufts Medical Center. Accessible by train. I was also able to change my appointment from later to earlier. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend. I have gotten my haircut by Ken and am pleased every time. I think this place offers the best value. I also got a trim and hair curled for a formal by Candy. She doesn't charge extra for using an iron like most other places do. Thanks so much Candy! read more

Candy did an excellent job on my haircut and balayage! This was my first time coloring my hair and she explained the process well and helped me pick a color I loved. I chose a subtle brown, but I would definitely come back once my hair grows out to try something bolder. She speaks Cantonese and English well and is a pleasant conversationalist. Wash, cut, and balayage was $180. read more

If I could I would NOT rate this horrible place. But I had to prevent you guys not to come here unless you're familiar with the Chinese style of hair cut. I came in, Knowing that they might not understand what I'm trying to say so I showed them a picture and a drawing of the hair that I want. LE, the stylist said "yeah yeah yeah, I know I know, easy" so I assumed he was telling the truth. I told him, no bangs, don't cut my hair past my chin, no layers too high, just make a v shape in the back since my hair is long enough for that. Guess what I got? A fucking bang, layers every where yet ... not a v shape in the back whatsoever. I told him and he said "your hair is too short for that" !!! Well why didn't you tell me in the beginning that you couldn't do what the customer told you? The greed of getting $35 just so you can make somebody so unhappy and leave your place regretting that they have to pay you money to ruin their hair. Advice, if you don't think that you can do something make sure you tell the customer first before you go ahead and cut their hair however you want no matter how long you have been cutting hair. In the end, I was so upset but he kept saying it's pretty it's pretty ... If course, you cut it and you have to say it, there's nothing to fix. Stop doing things your way when someone else is paying for you mistake. Horrible! You are a waste of money. read more

I had a super perplexing experience, I don't quite know how to summarize it so I'll explain the whole thing if you want to read it. I went in around 6pm on a Thursday and asked if I could get my bangs trimmed and a hair wash. The lady at the front was like "so a haircut and a wash?" I was like, "no, just a simple trim of my bangs." She then started discussing in Cantonese with the stylist beside her, and replied back, "a wash is $30 and a haircut + wash is $35 so you might as well get a haircut." First of all, that difference in pricing is sly, but I was really not feeling my look lately, so I thought why not. She then asked, "do you prefer anyone?" Since I had only popped in once for a $10 bangs trim before, I had no idea who to ask for and just said whoever. The wash was okay, the woman didn't use any force at all but at least I felt clean. When she led me to the back section (I didn't know they had more stylists in the back), she brought me to this guy, Sam. I panicked, because the few hairdressers I had in my life were all female and I had never had my hair cut by a guy, let alone a gruff-looking middle-aged Cantonese guy. I respect male hairdressers a lot! but I've just never had my hair done by one. I asked if I could get a different stylist bc I just never had a male one before, and he was really nice about it and went to ask. IMMEDIATELY, all the female employees (SIX of them) were like "I thought you were just getting your bangs cut!" "Didn't you say any stylist was okay??" "I've never heard of anyone not having a guy cut their hair before!" "He's better at cutting hair than I am!" (Frankly, I find that worrying.) Do you know that experience of being talked loudly at by a horde of Chinese women at once? While all the other customers are still there? I knew no one in that room! Anyways, the wait would've been an hour, and though the guy was trying to reassure me another stylist could help me, I didn't want to bother any of them and thought I'd give him a chance. The haircut he gave me was fine. It wasn't anywhere near the best I've had back in San Diego or Taiwan, but it served its purpose: I needed to freshen up my look. He was nice and decent at his craft, just not the most detailed-oriented. Tldr; the haircut + wash was fine but that was a weird experience. But who knows, if I ever go back again, I might request Sam. read more

Few of the best hair cuts I've received. Juju and Mike are my favorites! Juju is the best; she is very busy, so make sure you call at least 2-3 weeks prior to when you want to get an appointment. My second favorite is Mike. Although he doesn't seem to have good reviews on yelp, he does a fantastic job with my hair. Reasonably priced too!! read more

Just moved into the neighborhood, and I was having trouble finding a place to get a haircut for less than $70. Then I found Le's! They found someone who spoke English for me and then assigned me to Mike who did an excellent job cutting 6+ inches off and styling my curly hair. The whole process was efficient and friendly and cost only $28. Thanks, Mike! read more

I have gotten nice haircuts here from Ling, Candy, and Juju, who all speak great English. I'm very open to experimentation when it comes to haircuts, so the stylist can end up having a lot of influence. Ling was quick (maybe even brusque) in manner and action, highly skilled, and no BS (the least talkative, which I like!). I wasn't totally sure how I felt about the cut while in the chair, but *everybody* -- partner, friends, co-workers -- ended up fawning over it in the days and weeks afterwards. Candy was the most affable and conversational, despite being clearly overworked that day (they don't get a lot of breaks there, so don't forget to tip!). She delivered and styled a haircut that looked fabulous to me in the moment, especially given the time constraints, but that did not actually hold up very well over time as it was growing out (as in, it was a bit choppy, and it required consistent styling to look as good as the day I walked out). Juju was extremely finessed in her approach, took a lot of time, and consulted me at various choice points during the cut. She felt very maternal to me, somehow, which coupled with her skill level, made me feel as if I was in good hands. Even if you've got an appointment with her, stay flexible with time, as she does not rush. I see that most of these reviews are written by women, but when I was there last, tons of men were getting really fabulous-looking haircuts. I would suggest calling ahead and avoiding Friday afternoons. Bring CASH ONLY to cover at least $35 (...and consider tossing a few to your shampoo-er, as well!). read more

So the 5-star review was based on JuJu fixing an incredibly horrible cut...so I went back to her a few more times as my hair grew back. Now, it's finally back to its long length and I wanted to go to juju for a normal layered cut. Unfortunately, it's not as precise as I'd prefer and a bit choppy. There didn't seem to be a method except her dry cutting and cutting vertically. I feel like the horizontal cutting is more effective. She also raised her prices to $30, Im going to go back to Earnie from Coco head, I never should have strayed away the first place. See pics. read more

Since the Yen's hair salon staff moved to Le's I was looking for Eddie but I guess they misheard and thought I meant Andy. Needless to say my sister and I were surprised but pleasantly so because Andy did a wonderful job with both our hair. He really listened to our requests and has a lovely personality. He speaks Cantonese and Mandarin but limited English. I don't see a lot of reviews for Andy but he's great! Give the man more love. The young man washing our hair seemed like he was having a bad day though . Was very brusque and a little grumpy. I don't hold it against him, times are tough. (Meanwhile Andy was a joy to be around and very friendly and positive even though he admitted business has been sparse lately.) Everyone was wearing masks with plastic dividers between salon chairs. In summary, I miss Eddie but Andy has a new fan! read more

Ask for Candy! She is awesome. I already read many positive reviews about Candy on Yelp before I went, so I was set on booking her. She helped me with the Japanese straightening treatment. The cost is $280 + $40 tips: total $320. Because I had dyed my hair and it was damaged, Candy took care to SLOWLY process my hair, applying the chemical in increments and saving the ends of my hair for the last. The process took 5.5 hours! It normally would be 3-4 hours, but because my hair was damaged, Candy was very careful and took longer with the process. It was so nice for her to do that, because I would have paid $320 regardless of the length of the treatment. She could have rushed through, but instead she stayed with me until 10:30 PM! Candy is great, make sure to ask for her (if you don't specifically ask for her, a random person will be assigned to you). Also I wish I knew this before, but apparently you can assign the tip amounts to different people. I paid $40 in tips, and Candy would only get half. The other half goes to the person washing your hair. I wish I had said $35 to Candy and $5 to the other person. read more

First and LAST time I come here. I ended up with the worst haircut I've ever gotten in a decade. I asked Michael to leave my hair long and just trim the damaged ends. Simple enough request I thought. What I ended up with instead is a choppy, uneven MESS of a lob, 4 inches shorter than I requested. Why? Because, Michael KEPT messing up and cutting it SHORTER and SHORTER in a pathetic attempt to fix it. Another stylist took a glance as I was leaving and even smirked at the abomination. DON'T come get a haircut from Michael unless you want to pay $42 to get your hair butchered. read more
