Thazar is located in Inman Square and are the perfect place to get a haircut. My go-to hairstylist is George, who I believe is also the owner. He does a great job bringing my vision for my hair to life. During the haircut, he's so affirming friendly, and great to talk to. The price of a haircut here is super reasonable, which is one of the reasons I love this place. The interior is very cute, and they're always playing great music. One thing to note: if you make an appointment online, you'll need to put your card down. Check them out if you find yourself in the Inman Square area! read more

Kills me to write this review since I really want to support local businesses but I got the worst haircut of my life here. I booked a haircut with George and for whatever reason he decided that he didn't want to cut my hair. He asked Frankie to do it. There was literally no one there. I said sure whatever. I just had a baby. All I want is a haircut and get out of there. First of all it took 2 hours instead of the 1 he quoted. He blew dry my hair and he was super rough and he burnt my scalp. I asked for bangs and he literally grabbed a chunk of my hair and cut it short: At that point I was really annoyed since I told the babysitter an hour and I was an hour late already. George had to come in a fix his shitty bangs. Finally done and I left. I was so tired that I didn't really check but when I got home I realized that it was superrrr uneven. I tie my hair up and you can visibly see how uneven it was. I had to grow my hair out to get it fixed. I had to wear it up for a few months just to hide how bad my haircut was. Went to another place yesterday and the stylist confirmed it how uneven it was. I think the worst thing was George (believe he's the owner) checked my hair to make sure it was even and he said it was!! Very disappointed in this place since I wanted this to be my go-to place. read more

So I actually got my hair cut here in July, and I don't normally write reviews, but I decided I needed to warn the public about this place. This was probably my worst hair cut experience ever - I would really advise that people do not come here to get their hair done. First off, the guy doing my hair (a college student) was way too rough and sloppy. He basically botched my hair completely, gave me absolutely atrocious layers after I showed him a few inspiration pictures, and to top it all off, he was very rough while working and tugged and pulled a lot. I walked out of the salon feeling complete deflated and awful - not just about my hair - but about how I felt like he treated me as a client. He lacked any kind of sensitivity about the haircut, or about how he treated my hair. After letting my hair grow out for a few months, I finally went to a different salon this past weekend after I found a trusted stylist to go to from a friend. The professional at this other salon took one look at my hair, and told me that the person who had previously worked with my hair (at Thazar Hair Studio) had basically botched my haircut and done me completely dirty. Mind you - it had been months at this point, and my hair had already started to grow out, but the damage is still visible. Thankfully, the stylist at Salon Luna was able to begin to fix the damage done to me at Thazar Hair Studio. But please do not come here. read more

George is the best! Gave the best cut and dry in Boston. All my friends go to George :)

George is incredible at what he does. I have told all my friends to go here and they've switched from their salons to book with him every time now. He is fast and genuinely amazing at what he does. Thank you to this salon!! read more

I absolutely LOVED my haricut from George at Thazar Hair Studio. It can be so hard to find a salon that does good curly cuts without charging outrageously. George was able to fit me in later in the evening than most salons are open (6:15 PM). He was warm, welcoming, and fast without skimping on quality. He gave me a haricut that was twice as good and half the cost as others I've gotten in the area. I am loving my revitalized curls! read more

I had such a great experience with Didi. She gave me the greatest blowout. The whole staff was so fun and kind. I will 100% go back!!! -MP read more

Debated writing this review for the longest time for fear of retaliation. George is a bully. He has a really awful attitude and is plain mean, sarcastic, and condescending (asked rhetorically "how old are you (that you don't understand X)?" to me as a woman in my 30s) if you ever push back on his advice or point out that you don't love something he did. He's unkind and unprofessional and felt like he tries to intimidate you into liking your haircut or his choices. There are so many amazing salons in Boston that even his cheap prices don't justify coming back here for a subpar cut and bottom of the barrel attitude. read more

George was professional, warm, and did an amazing job with my hair. Great vibes all around, and the price was extremely reasonable. Definitely recommend!! read more

My go-to haircut spot for the last 5 years and accounting! George is my go-to stylist and he is efficient and reliable with his cuts. The prices have remained affordable over the years. Will continue to go here and reccomend to others! read more

George is a color master. I gave him references on what I was looking for and he used his expertise and professionalism to get me the color and tone that I really wanted. I just had my second appointment and same results. The studio is warm and inviting and the service is incredible. read more

Great experience at salon. Daphnie did a wonderful job with the cut and color and she knew how to work with Asian hair since I had some prior bad cuts at other places in the past. Scheduled appointment for the weekend by phone since first time going there, but they also can book online. Since also first time trying balayage, Daphnie was extremely helpful in explaining the process and making recommendations that would best be suited for me. Thank you for the great cut and style. read more

See all

I absolutely had the best experience! I had scheduling issues that were accommodated, and George did a wonderful job on my hair! I got a balayage with a cut and style. I am extremely pleased with how my hair came out and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Came here last Friday for a much needed hair cut. George was incredible! He knew exactly what I wanted and how to make my lack luster hair more full and dramatic. He also gave me the best (and first) blow out! He has set the bar VERY high. My only regret is that I wish I found this salon earlier. Salon is COVID friendly. Both the client and George wear masks and there's only one client at a time. Can't wait to come back in a few months for another cut and maybe some color. Prices are also very reasonable, especially for the high quality services. Thanks George!! read more

Thazar Hair Studio - Wash, cut, & blow out! - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I can't review the hair styling, as I wasn't given the opportunity to use Thazar's. I heard very good things,so I called during business hours,and left a message to please call me back. 2 weeks went by, and I used Judy Jetson instead, who I am very happy with. read more

Ruined my long hair! Cut it all uneven, didn't blow dry it. Told me he didn't want to have small talk. Whete is their certificate to cut hair? This place is awful. I had to get my hair fixed by a real stylist at Soma. George doesn't know how to cut hair. Good luck with this guy, you're going to need it. O stars. read more

Came to see George from a friend's recommendation and had a wonderful experience! George is such a gem and perfectionist. He gave me exactly what I wanted - a few inches off with long layers and face framing in the front. Such a great value for a women's haircut, wash, and quick blow dry! Easy to book online and will be returning! read more

I was looking for a place that did haircuts on the same day. I checked out their website and was able to get an appointment for an hour ahead. The barber was also great, he has been cutting hair for more than 10 years. Also they use good products and the interior is very clean. Highly recommend :) read more

If i could give 0 i would. Everything went bad from the beginning, i made an appointment with George but when went there they switched and Carmen ended up taking care of me. At first i didnt mind, all i wanted was simple hair cut. she started off wetting my hair "not wash just wet" and the cut is un even. I didnt notice it because she didnt even show my back at the salon. I ended up going to someone else for the uneven hairtcut. after cutting my bangs she did not brush the hair off so a tiny hair all over my face clothes inside my clothes and ended up charging me $45!!!!! Because she blow dried my bangs and wet my hair? I gave her some tip because i was so done. I had cheaper and way better hair cuts in Allston and Brighton area. Idk about other workers but i would avoid this place at all cost. Trust me there are other better places in Allston. At this point i would like to request a refund or something. Learn from my mistake, AVOID THIS PLACE. No good skill, no good customer service and too expensive for half service. I will be posting this on every where i could review this place read more

I came here last fall with a Groupon and George was amazing! I was thinking of coming back and noticed that their prices online are super reasonable. I had paid roughly $30 for a $60 groupon (haircut, shampoo, & style). George was super attentive and gave me a beautiful haircut & blow dry. I'm definitely coming back for my next cut! read more

I spent 65 + tip for a burning scalp. I did a blow dry at this hair salon, and my scalp was burning during the drying. Despite repeated attempt to ask the woman to move the hair dryer farther away from my scalp, nothing improved. It was way too hot and I felt extremely uncomfortable. My scalp hurt a lot. I was told by the woman that there's nothing she could do to make the situation better and it was my skin that's too sensitive. I've done blow dry in more than 10 different salons in Boston and have never felt this burning and uncomfortable. If you are looking for a place to burn your skin, this is the place. Otherwise, there are plenty of salons nearby to style your hair, not to mention that this place doesn't have the 20% discount as indicated on yelp. False advertisement it is. read more

Five stars for Jillian. She has been my stylist for years and I have followed her from Davis Sq to Newbury st and now to Thazar. She is so talented and knowledgeable about different techniques. I am a very picky person and Jillian listens to my vision and then always delivers a beautifully polished haircut. Her blow outs are amazing and she always makes me feel so comfortable. Highly recommend Jillian for any cut, color, styling needs. She now cuts my husband and sons hair and her mens cuts are just as great as her womens. If you are looking for a new stylist Jillian is the best! read more

George is the best! I went in for a pixie haircut (my first time ever) and wasn't sure what kind of pixie haircut would fit me (all I knew was that I wanted an edgy yet also professional haircut). I told him that I trusted his professional judgement, and I'm so glad I did! He gave me an undercut pixie and then recommended blonde highlights, so I returned a few days later for the dyeing process. What he did to my hair blew me away, and I absolutely love it! My friends love it too. George also has a great, easy attitude and made me feel at ease and confident, which was important, since I was feeling a bit nervous about getting my first-ever pixie cut! read more

I can't speak for the other barber George, but I will say my men's haircut with Jillian was perhaps one of the worst I had. My hair is easy to cut (Caesar on top, and #2 on the sides). She basically shaved the whole back and side of my hair with a #2, rather than just the sides, which made it look like a buzz cut. And then the Caesar on top was uneven, with one side having slightly more hair than the other. Not only that, but she didn't even trim my side burns. She seemed like she was in a rush to get my hair cut done, even though there weren't any other customers waiting for me. And to add to that, when I inquired about the 20% off for first-time customers, she said they don't do that anymore (even though it's on Yelp). I not only regret tipping, but I greatly regret my experience overall! read more

Update, officially a repeat customer. I went in today for a trim (online the service is called women's haircut) and reshaping of my last cut. I showed George what he did last time and he repeated. I went in with dry hair, he sprayed it damp, cut it, and I walked out with no styling (which is what I expected). I styled at home, it was just as beautiful as the first time! Sooo affordable getting a trim this way, I finally found somewhere I can go every few months for reshaping and not break the bank! So so happy with my cut. read more

Great salon. George is a great stylist. Super good at cut and color. Friendly and professional. Highly recommended

George is amazing! So personable and kind, listens to what you're looking for and really delivers. The atmosphere is inviting and the services are very worth coming back for!! read more

Really love Daphnie cut and style! she preserves my wavy and elevates it . As it is hard to search for people who can cut Asian hair, i would say this is one of my best haircut! thank you Daphnie! read more

Yes I absolutely recommend this business. The atmosphere is so relaxed, authentic and everyone makes you feel welcome. I have found my new place to get my hair done. read more

Daphne is a fantastic colorist. She takes her time, explains every step--very refreshing to know the reasoning behind the process, and is very careful. She had to match/complement my existing highlights (long hair, too which is more challenging) and it came out beautifully. Highly recommend her for color. read more

I've been going to George to get my hair cut, colored, and blow-dried for 4 years, and I've always left with my hair looking SO good! George is always friendly, on time, and my blowouts last for several days. Online booking is so easy, they are always quick to confirm your appointments, and the location is so convenient. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great haircut, beautiful color, and a perfect blowout! read more

Finally, an amazing place for a haircut. Me and my boyfriend decided to stop by and were impressed by the result, the prices and how George handles the whole process, he is very nice and gives you good recommendations. Also, really liked the treatment, extremely recommend if you have dry hair. We are definitely coming back! read more

My daughter discovered this place, she wanted highlights and she was happy with her service, so I decided to try it. I had a different hairdresser, and Althing was friendly, I was not happy with the service. I called to book an appointment for my niece, but they never got back to me when they said someone would call back. I was in the neighborhood so stopping to inquired about styling my niece and got a look warm response from the same person who did my hair. I decided to never go back, or recommend to anyone. read more

So glad to see Thazar blooming! I think Thazar has been in business for almost four years now, and it was great to see a number of new staff hired on to work alongside George as the company moves forward. Haircuts pricing and quality is stellar as before, and I will continue to come here specifically for any hair appointments. Due to some staff shortage due to illness my appointment was delayed by about 30 minutes but they were very kind to provide a complimentary shampoo and hair mask (a fun experience!) during my wait. Will be back soon! read more

Was able to book two appointments back to back (for hubby and me) very quickly. Haircuts were very quick, yet good overall. Prices are very reasonable, too. Metered parking right in front was a bonus on a very cold day. read more

I used to go here all the time when I lived in Cambridge and loved every haircut I got from here! Ever since moving away, I have been looking for a place that compares. The haircuts I got were always reasonably priced and I loved that the salon is small and quiet. It's a hidden gem in Cambridge/Boston and I definitely recommend read more

Reyna is the best! In general, from being greeted to the last interaction it is such a great experience. I went dark and Both Reyna and George walked me through what was best for me. Also, my haircut is amazing and the shampooing was incredible. Definitely going back (: read more

George is fast, kind, and always does a fantastic job! Prices are very fair. Highly recommend :).

Great experience at Thazar Hair Studio, George truly performed some magic on my hair! Highly recommend

I can't recommend George enough. As a guy with longer hair since the pandemic, I've had trouble finding someone I can trust and feel comfortable returning to, opting instead to let it grow out too long. George not only gave me a stellar cut, but also talked through my hair's condition honestly and kindly, and provided a number of recommendations for what I could do going forward. Just as importantly, he was super kind and fun to talk with, and I left feeling great about myself as a result. He's an excellent stylist and caring person -- definitely who I'll be returning to in the future. read more
