I recently went to the Michael Anthony Salon on North Ave. after having been a long-time client at their other location on State St. (I changed because I moved to this part of town) This was a HUGE mistake! I booked my appointment for a haircut on Memorial Day and the entire staff of the salon made it abundantly clear that they did not want to be working. The receptionist was very rude and my haircut was awful and completely overpriced. I actually had to go home and trim it a little bit myself until I can make another appointment at a different salon to get a decent haircut. For $50 plus tip the stylist named Dani gave me a cut I could have done at home with crayola scissors- this is because I don't think she even touched my hair. I'm actually furious that ,in this economy, someone would put forth so little effort into a job that is entirely client-based. I will never be back nor would I ever recommend the North Ave. M&A salon to a friend.
On the contrary, I actually think the State St. location has some very talented stylists and colorists. Taylor is a great stylist and Sondra is an exceptional colorist. State St. M&A is home to by-far the BEST estheticion in the city, Bobby Dixon. She is sooooo amazing! I started going to her for a Brazilian wax and will never trust anyone else. She someone makes this otherwise painful experience tolerable and is very knowledgeable about the process.
Pros: Clean atmosphere
Cons: Everything else
