Came in for a wash, haircut and blow dry and was so pleased! Not only is the salon cute and tucked right in beacon hill, Sue herself is a skilled hairdresser who made me feel comfortable and gave my hair some much needed love! Highly recommend if you're in the neighborhood. Great price too. read more

Sue's Hair Salon - Wash/cut/blow dry + layers and angles - Hair Stylists Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've been going to Sue's for five years. I get an excellent men's hair cut every time.

To be perfectly honest, this review isn't about the service I received at the salon, it's about my attempts at making an appointment for a service. I tried three times to book a shampoo and blow-dry. Each attempt was met with an impatient and firm no, then a hang up. I was flexible with the day and time, thinking that I would prefer to book an appointment at any time rather than dig in my heels about a particular time. Didn't get the chance. Even if this were the last remaining salon in Boston, I wouldn't bother. The rudeness was SPECTACULAR. read more

I was not at all satisfied with my haircut. I requested and brought a picture of myself of the exact haircut I wanted with shaggy bangs extending well past my eyebrows nearly into my eyes and additionally verbally asked her for well below my eyebrows. The bangs are cut a in a severe straight across line at my eyebrows and because of how short they are there's nothing I can do about it other than wear a hat until they grow out. There wasn't any sort of framing of the face around the bangs so it ended up being a straight far too short bob that went up into straight bangs- almost a bowl cut or a mullet that went shorter than my chin and then went up at my forehead. I asked her to do some framing once she had finished which she did but you cannot see it at home. I just look at the picture I brought in and what I have and it's not at all close. I have been super upset and avoiding looking in the mirror. I have no idea how to fix it and don't have the money to go to someone else to try to get it fixed. I initially didn't want to write a review as Sue is so nice and maybe it was just my haircut but I know there are other people like me out there who this is their big treat yourself splurge. I will not be going back as this haircut was $50 for a dry haircut that I was extremely unhappy with. I have attached an image of the after (black sweatshirt) versus an image of myself of what I showed her and asked for. read more

See all

Sue kindly fit me in for a trim and did a amazing job on my angles and layers!! I will definitely be returning for my next cut!

I previously saw a review supposedly by me today, and I was most surprised that it did not sound like me. It was written .by a man who stole my identity last Feb. 2024. I did have my hair cut by Sue, and she did a good job; she took me at the last minute, and I was most grateful. Sue has many clients from this area where I live. She was friendly and most accommodating. read more

I love the haircut I got! It was inexpensive (55) for a women's dry cut. She did exactly what I asked for, left my hair nice and long and just took the ends off like I asked. I will not be going anywhere else while living in Beacon Hill. Go to Sue! read more

Loved getting my haircut here. I was in and out super quickly. It was quite expensive for just getting a dry cut (she didn't even wash my hair), but it's hard to find many affordable hairdresser options in Boston. read more

Great service. Scored a same day appointment as a out of town client. She copied my haircut perfectly. Such a nice mom and pop place. Definitely a local Salon read more

Love Sue's!!!! Just got a fantastic hair cut there, and she fixed up my layers which a fancy hair salon had done poorly. Super affordable pricing for the area, and Sue is so sweet. 10/10, will be going back! read more

I'm tempted not to leave a review so this can remain a hidden gem, but what a disservice that would be to Sue!!! This was my first time getting my haircut here and it was by far the best cut I've gotten in Boston, especially considering the price (~$20 less than the going rate for a women's cut in the city). She was so friendly, chatty, and had a same day appointment when I called on a Tuesday morning. I told her just a little bit about what I wanted for my hair and she absolutely nailed it. The rapport I saw between her and the customer before me was lovely, and the waves she gave to a few customers who passed her window during my cut were heartwarming. 10/10 would recommend even though I want to keep this sweet salon all to myself! read more

Sue is the best! The nicest lady! If you're looking for an affordable haircut, this is the place to go. She also gave me tips on how to make my hair healthier. All in all, I was in and out in a half hour. She is so kind and worth it! I've been going to hear since I've moved to boston last year, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. read more

Only good things to say about Sue and her business. Good pricing and quality of service. Great vibe too. Sue herself is a great person and you feel treated with a level of respect. You would be paying much more for a similar haircut anywhere else in downtown Boston, once I've started going here I keep coming back. read more

I got my first haircut in probably a year today. After looking at Yelp reviews, I decided to come here. I called for an appointment but there was no need, as it wasn't busy when I got there. After the initial phone call, I was a little concerned, as Sue wasn't super talkative. However, the overall experience was great :) . The man working there (I didn't get his name) washed, cut, and blowdried my hair, and took the time to make sure I was getting what I wanted. There was not a lot of small talk, which I actually really appreciated. Unlike other places, they did not make me feel bad about my split ends or the spots where I pulled my hair. The only downside was the price. I paid $63 for it, plus a tip. Of course, they did wash and dry my hair, and I felt so comfortable with them. I would gladly choose them over a cheaper haircut, although my college student budget might say otherwise. read more

Sue's Hair Salon is my go-to place for a men's cut in Boston! I'm glad I found her. She is a one-woman show right in the middle of Beacon Hill. Quick, friendly, affordable. Was looking for a reasonable men's cut without the pretension and I found it. read more

Great place if you do not mind an establishment not honoring scheduled appointments. The first time we thought that the previous client arrived late. The second time we arrived two minutes early for our appointment as she was beginning a haircut on another client. Apparently, she doesn't consider "real" appointments. It's unfortunate because she gives a good haircut. read more

I was unexpectedly in a Boston and desperate for haircut and Sue's was a great choice. Small shop and she was so kind and professional.

Best hair cut of my life (men's hair cut). Hands down. Sue tailored the cut to the way my hair grows, it looks great. Highly recommended!

Modest walk-in salon in Beacon Hill. I was in need of a trim and had heard good things about Sue's. I stopped in during my lunch hour and Sue was able to fit me right in. The salon has three salon chairs and a large couch for waiting. Everything is very clean and the AC was offering a cool respite from the summer heat. Sue asked me if I would like my hair shampooed and I said yes. She took me to the sink and put on gloves while she washed and conditioned my hair. (No hot towel, unfortunately!) Sue asked me exactly what I wanted and how much I wanted cut off. She sectioned my hair and cut a small piece to show me and make sure it was the right amount. Sue blow dried my hair and made sure I was happy with my cut. During my appointment, she talked to several people who came by the store which showed me she really knows the community. The haircut was $40, which I think is fair for the area. She preferred I pay in cash but since I only had a few dollars, I had to pay with a card. When I gave her a cash tip though, she was very grateful. read more

Was obsessing about getting bangs and walked in to Sue's. She took me right away and I'm thrilled. I just needed a change. read more

Sue's Hair Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Sue is the best hair dresser in Boston. She knows how to make a perfect hair cut, she was my hairdresser and my husbands. She also died my hair for a year and it never looked healthier. I reccomend her 100%, she is THE best!!!! (honestly from a real costumer) read more

Live in Beacon Hill, always passed by this place (on my way to the barber shop) and one day, while in a rush, just couldn't make it all the way out and decided to stop by. There are two people that work here, Sue (I'm assuming?) and a guy who's name I always forget. The guy doesn't speak English. I was pretty concerned after sitting down and having to gesture "scissors" instead of the electric razor. So you can imagine my surprise when the haircut was fantastic. Like, the best I've ever gotten. He's incredibly consistent, and a perfectionist. I've been 3 times now and so far very satisfied. Price is $22 which is stupidly reasonable for Beacon Hill. Given the language barrier, for guys (because I think Sue cuts women's hair?), if you have something complicated this may not be the best place for you. But if you have a simple 'do, go to Sue's! read more

Ever gotten a free cut from a relative/friend with adroit hands? You know, the one who can cut better than an average person, but one who's not quite a pro? You know, one who, though without proper training, can emulate a trained pro given twice or thrice the time to cut the hair? Well the haircut I received here was exactly like that. Or perhaps the lady who cut my hair was Sue's trainee. If so, I would lower my rating of this venue given that a trainee practices on a customer, and even nicks the customer's neck while using a clipper. I don't know, maybe two star rating is too generous. read more

Love Sue's - I moved out of beacon hill but still go back. Great people and great haircut.

Sue took me in off the street today with no appointment and made me feel instantly welcome. She gave me a great cut and advice on growing my hair out, and had me in and out in 40 minutes. less than $50 for a wash,cut,dry from a really nice person running her own business was great. Thanks Sue! read more

NOT a happy camper at all. She took off way more than I wanted, did all this angling that I didn't want and didn't ask for, took about two hours out of my work day, and charged me FORTY FIVE DOLLARS!! I may be a woman with medium-length hair, but I witnessed her charge the man who was serviced just before me get charged $25. I've had better haircuts for free by my friends, in about a quarter of the time. Also, be warned, if you are particular about how you want your hair cut and don't speak Chinese, I wouldn't recommend getting your hair cut by the guy I saw working in there today. This other guy who came in asked him the most basic thing ever (to give his hair a trim but to keep the length in the back - guess he likes the mullets) and the woman, working on me, had to translate it for him. I won't be going back there. read more

Being from out of town, I was overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of everything. By using Yelp, I found this salon. It is in a lovely area which I wouldnt have seen had I not go. First off, my hair cut was great! Well priced and resonable. No appointment was nexessary. Sue made me feel so welcome and we laughed a lot, and by the end I didn't even realize how beautifully sure cut and styled it. It would be great place for men women or children cuts. Very clean and she obviously loves and takes care in her profession. read more

I got an excellent haircut on Friday. She was professional, friendly, and conversational. She was highly attentive to details and took the time to ensure a great haircut. I would definitely go back! Thank you! read more

Sue knows how to cut women's hair incredibly well! My hair is thick and hard to style, but she does it with ease. She has also shared great tips with me on how to easily style my hair at home. It's great to have her business in the neighborhood. Her prices are very reasonable and she takes her time with each customer, making sure you are happy with your haircut! read more

Excellent haircut at great price. Very professional. Sue also came recommended by friends

Sue is great!! I've always liked my hair long and have had many stylist cut it 3-5 inches more then what I've asked, -__-. Sue cuts my hair precisely to what I've ask for every single time I go :D. I now live further away from her but will continue to make the trip to beacon hill to get my hair cuts at Sue's. read more

Extremely friendly & excellent quality. I wish I knew this place existed years ago! I will definitely come back here again

Sue is great. She cuts my two year old's hair. she makes him feel so comfortable.

Very courteous, professional, and talented. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my haircut and I highly recommend this place. As a tourist in dire need of a trim, I took a chance and ducked into this salon. As luck would have it, there was room available in the schedule for me and I was in and out in a respectable time frame. Most excellent!! :) read more

My Family has seen Sue since the opening of her Salon. We go monthly for Haircuts. Service is exceptional and Sue is a Master of her craft. Highly recommend. read more

She's a solid stylist, and cool to talk to. Very competitively priced, and in the middle of Beacon Hill no less. read more

Sue knows her art! She does my hair- color and cut! She will listen and do what you want. She is fair and very reasonable. Her salon is clean. If you are looking for a hardworking, honest, and don't care about all the "fancy stuff" this is your place! read more

I got an absolutely terrible haircut from Sue's Hair Salon. I called ahead to see if she any openings. She told me I could come in immediately. I arrived and waited for a couple of other people to get their haircut, then it was my turn. Sue told me that she did not have time to wash my hair. I told Sue that I wanted a few inches off, but still wanted to be able to put it in a pony tail. I have very thick hair. Sue began cutting my hair dry, then began using the thinning shears. She thinned my hair so much that my ponytail was the width of a pencil eraser (compared to the width of a dollar coin before my haircut). The top of my hair was still thick, and the bottom looked like a rat's tail. Sue did not style my hair at all and charged me $5 more than she had quoted me on the phone. Sue rushed through the haircut, and kept telling the next customer that she was almost done. This made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. When I got home, I attempted to style my hair, but there was absolutely no way I could wear it down. It was so thin and stringy on the bottom. I ended up having to have my hair fixed at another salon (thankfully, the new stylist did a great job and I now have a cute cut). I would suggest not going to this salon if you have long or thick hair. At first, I was happy to see that Sue's Hair Salon prices were lower compared to other salons, but I now realize it is because the quality is lower. I got no wash, and absolutely no style after the haircut. If you have long or thick hair, I highly suggest finding a different salon. read more

Sue is fantastic. I was a walk-in and she took me right away. Cut my hair perfectly. Sue is very precise. I'll be returning.

Efficient, good quality, nice people. Enjoyed my hair cut. Will definitely be coming back!
