I have been getting massages at various places in the Boston area for about 15 years, and this is the absolute best massage I've ever received. I only wish I could go more often! It is very relaxing for my often sore muscles, and Dorea focuses in on those areas that you ask her to. She's very responsive and I always leave feeling much better than when I came in.
Pros: Very affordable, Great atmosphere, Excellent massage

So, I'm a college student from Boston. I've always been into tattoos and pierces. When you look at me you'd think otherwise. However, if anyone is thinking of getting either a tattoo or piercing I suggest you go to Stingray, these people know exactly what they are doing. In the past two years I know have 5 tattoos. The first one I ever got was a small little writing just because I was still a bit nervous. Now I have a huge tattoo on my back that is barely a month old.
If you are into pierces GO THERE. The place is really clean which is excellent for both tattoo and piercing hygiene. Again, in the past 2 years I've gotten a total of 10 pierces. No they are not obvious but believe me they are there. That piercer is incredibly skilled, Abby and knows what she is doing. She also helps prepare you when she is about to stick the needle.
The tattoo artists I can't even start with that. They are just great and friendly and they will do what you ask and even give suggestions as to what would be better. They are all wonderful in their own particular field and even if they do something they are not used to tattooing they still do a hell of a good job, I can't complain.
The atmosphere is just great I even bring the dog at the store section where they have the lizard, everything is laidback and chill. As for one of the reviews from above who said the atmosphere wasn't good, she probably just met the "chihuahua girl" she's little, annoying, and rude. The artists and I have talked stuff about her, they don't even like her much either. If she's there with the short hair and glasses don't pay attention just make fun of her ignorant self and you'll have the best time of your life, haha I know I did, 2 tattoo artists and I were just talking junk about how rude she is and they need to fire her.
It's a great place give it a shot. At least go to the shop to just look around and have your opinion on it after all it's what you care that counts. I love that place.
Pros: great artists
Cons: the "chihuahua girl"

This Barbershop has two barbers who would actually initiate a conversation with you and listen to what kind of haircut you want! They're not dull at all and they let you wash your hair twice during the haircut. The first time is to wash any foreign objects out and the second time is to mold it for the perfect cut. They always ask you what you want before they actually do it. They pay attention to every detail! I'm always satisfied with my hair after entering that place.

I like getting my hair cut here a lot. It was the first place I ever went to that actually washed my hair for me. For guys, going to a salon may sound a bit over the top, but at only $30 for men's cuts, paying $16 for a half-blind supercut withers in comparison. There are also cats slinking around in the background..which are a nice touch, UNLESS YOU'RE ALLERGIC! Everyone there is great at what they do, but I usually go with Andrea if I can. Fun Fact: Apparently I left a picture of some hair ideas (including an old picture of myself) at the salon after a cut...I'm told it's now in their Style Book. Too bad I just shaved my head....

I spent four of my undergraduate years in Houston, and eventually found a Vietnamese stylist that I loved and went to regularly. Fast forward to now, and I find myself in Boston looking for a place to get a haircut--I got one with an Italian dude and other with a Russian lady, both were more money than I wanted to spend, and the haircuts were horribly uneven with several stray hairs that were missed.
I had my haircut with Judy, who I believe is the store owner. She's meticulous, talking with me about how I wanted my hair and going over it several times to make sure of its evenness and to catch any random hairs. She asked me several times how close I wanted it, really working to make sure it was perfect. I got a clipper on the sides and a razor cut on the top with some thinning. She spent total around 40 minutes on a very straight forward guy's haircut and also gave me a decent shampoo. I paid $15 for the cut, shampoo, and a $1 student discount. The regular cut is $12 with the student discount.
I'll be coming back again.

Coco Cosmetics is a bit of a hidden gem in the typically more alternative neighborhood of Allston. They carry the very best lines- most of which are imported. Several stand out brands are Chanel and La Prairie (one of the few area locations that even carry these names). Also worth a mention are the unlabeled tubes of cosmetics that are imported from Asia. These are just awesome and this is the only place you can get them in the area. The staff here is also super friendly and always willing to help.

This place is run by Korean hair stylists. So if you have Asian hair texture, I recommend this place. The staff is friendly and the place is modern. They *know* how to do Asian hair right and is better than the salons I tried on Newbury street.
