Amaci Salon

I've been to many places for a brazilian but i've never had such a good experience as i did with Anna. She's very sweet and patient and i would definitely recommend her to everyone who wants to have a perfect Brazilian done. Call and ask for Anna, i'm sure you won't regret it! more

Like most girls I am a creature of habit and when it comes to my hair I am extremely over protective. I have been to multiple salons in Boston trying to find the right stylist since my move from LA and found a gem in Maria. Not only does she color hair like it should be an art form but she also makes you feel completely comfortable. Going in to Amaci the first time my hair had taken a beating and Maria saved it. There is no one else in Boston I will go to now. Having a stylist that truly knows what you will look good with and making sure to give you nothing but the best is rare, and that is what Maria has done countless times. Every time I have a friend looking for a stylist the only one I can think of worth a recommendation is Maria. more

I would highly recommend Maria at Amaci. When I first went to her I had never had highlights but wanted something new, and so left it up to her to recommend what would look the best--and it turned out great. The cut itself was amazing. I have wavy, sometimes-curly sometimes-straight hair that stylists can never seem to get right and I've never walked out of a place loving what they've done. But with just a little description of what I wanted she cut it perfectly, just how I wanted--and I got a number of compliments on my haircut that night. Plus she's so friendly..overall a great experience. more

I've been here 3 times. I was lured in by the 20% off coupon but after my most recent $175.00 job won't be going back. Maria Rivera, one of the stylists kept me returning because she knows what she's doing, explains everything in detail which proves she knows what she's doing and has done a great job with highlighting my hair. A former Newbury Street gal, she's very up to date with modern techniques and for someone like myself who likes a more modest look, knows how to add style to simplicity. I've seen people walk out from her with gorgeous elaborate styles too. She also gives extensive tips on how to dry and style your own hair, demonstrating technique which is really nice. Still, for the price, I expect a more spa-like experience. The salon space is not up to par with its competitors, arguably tacky and far from relaxing with its techno house and blaring dance party music. One thing that bothers me a lot is that they don't properly clean up the fallen hair in the salon. It was all around my chair, all over the floor and on the shampooing chair I sat in. I'm not sure what the protocol for this is in salons, but it seems very unprofessional to have layers and layers of other people's hair scattering near your feet. This has been the case all 3 times I've been there and although the space isn't filthy, it's not clean. The shampoos have been rough and uncomfortable no matter who does it and for a price which usually promises a scalp massage, you'd expect at least a comfortable seat. It's not. I wanted it to be over with and thats usually my favorite part! This time around I was foolishly talked into getting an extra ""glaze"" put on after my highlight to preserve it and add shine. As a consumer, I think that this should be a part of the package. A good coloring should last long! It was only left on for 3 minutes. 3 minutes for an extra $20! Overall, Amaci needs to work on making its business match its talented stylists or lower prices a lot. For the $$$, its a C. Pros: Quality results, instructive stylist Cons: Awful ambience, overpriced, dirty more

Amad and his staff are welcoming and highly skilled. My 20 bazillion calls with the receptionist to arrange a good appointment time was handled with professionalism and understanding. The atmosphere in his salon is inviting and my ""two second"" wait for Amad was occupied by the mounds and mounds of fabulous fashionista and celeb gossip magazines. Amad understands women, hair and beauty. That's all you need in your stylist. I walked out of the salon feeling refreshed and ready for a night out! Go there for great color and haircut. This is the place for beauty Boston! more

I read the great reviews here and decided to Amaci a try. My experience was absolutely horrible and would never return again. I paid $30 for a men's cut. This was relatively cheaper to places that I used to go to. However, the cut I received was similar to what I could have gotten at Super Cuts and felt that they should advertise their service as such. The stylist cut the sides of my hair using a buzzer instead of scissors. She spent a total of no more than 10 minutes on my hair. The length of my hair on top came out uneven at the end and I had to ask her to even it out. Furthermore, she showed up to my appointment about 5-10 minutes late even though I was her first client. This was probably the worst cut of my life. At a price of $30, I would rather go to Super Cut instead and get a better end result. Pros: Nothing good about it Cons: Imcompetent hair staff more

I found Amaci looking on these pages and thought I should let others know what a great experience I had. Amad was very friendly and gave me a fun flirty haircut that was perfect for my facial features. Plus, the color was exactly what I was hoping for. Amad really listens to what you're trying to get out of your style and executes beautifully. All of the employees (including the other stylists) were extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend giving Amaci a shot. more

i recently got my hair cut & highlighted at amaci salon in boston, and i'm really impressed! i'd been going to another salon in boston for months, but when my appointment was late YET AGAIN for an hour, i decided to try somewhere new. well, after calling a friend for advice, i ended up at amaci and i couldn't be happier. appointment on time, very professional, amad did phenomenal work on my highlights (not easy with my dark hair) and the facility in general was well maintained and clean. i wish i had found amaci months ago, would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation. go to amaci, you'll be happy! more

I've been a client at Amaci for a few years now, and it's the only place I'll recommend to friends and coworkers. Amad always knows what's best for my hair, even when I don't! Sometimes I choose, and sometimes I leave the decisions up to him...but my hair always comes out looking fabulous. He always knows what's hot and new, and that's what I like best about him...well, that and the great cut, color, and style I receive! It's my favorite place, and I wouldn't know what to do if I ever moved away from Boston! Thanks Amad!! - Kylie :) Pros: Style, New Trends & Fashion more

I got my hair cut and highlighted last month and I was very pleased with the results. I'm extremely picky about haircuts and I haven't gotten highlights in years because I didn't think anyone would be able to do anything nice with my hair, because it's so dark. But, Amad suggested a nice golden color and it turned out great! He listens to what you want and he makes his own suggestions which are very helpful. I would definitely suggest going here, because you will be happy with the results! Pros: Very skilled in color & cut more

boston traffic suuucks, but man i drive up from quincy to get my haircuts here. other places in my area always seem to screw somethin up. too short here, too long there, extra little bits of hair. this place is no supercuts that's for sure, and it's almost the same price. i usually have amad (the owner) do mine but sometimes one of the other girls does it when he's booked. they all do a kickass job, so don't worry if you stop by and amad is booked cause it'll still come out real nice. they've got lots of hair stuff too if your into that. park in the hotel garage down the street too and don't forget to stamp your ticket before you go back. def check this place out if your around boston. more
