Amaci Salon

I recently had my hair highlighted by Sonia and she was extraordinary. I must admit i was nervous, see I had been coloring my own hair black for at least a year. Sonia explained everything she was going to do before hand and put me right at ease. The process was painless and the results AMAZING! My hair is healthy and shiny! Sonia was both freindly and outgoing! I HIGHLY recommend her!! Pros: Great people, Great views.. Cons: non more

I came in to Amaci Salon and got a haircut today from Amad. I went to get a fauxhawk and it was a very good experience. He used quality tools, even razing the hair. He did it all seemingly in one motion. Previously when i got a fauxhawk it was an annoying experience as the stylist would constantly have to cycle back and forth from top to sides and seemed to need me to guide them. Especially on the sides, I constantly had to guide them to the correct length. Amad got the perfect side length all in one go and the top went equally as well. The fauxhawk has nice layers and is easily one of the best haircuts i've ever received. At $30 it's hard to beat. I plan on coming into the city in the future to get all of my haircuts from him. Pros: Quick, skilled, great service Cons: little far from my location (outside of Boston) more

Best decision I ever made in going to Amaci Salon. I used to get my hair cut and colored on Newbury street and can honestly say that I wished I knew about Amaci Salon sooner. I scheduled an appointment with Sonia because she was highly recommended. I was really nervous about trying someone new considering I had been with the same stylist for years, but in today's economy I just couldn't afford to keep up with Newbury Street prices. I also work in town so Amaci is in a pretty convenient location. Sonia was extremely professional and super sweet. I instantly felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands - this girl really knows her stuff! Let me just say... BEST highlights I've EVER had and the haircut was awesome too! Thanks to Sonia... she truly rocks!! I will definitely be back to see her and will also be recommending her to all of my friends and co-workers. Pros: Staff is friendly and professional Cons: None more

I'm from DC but was visiting friends in Boston for 2 weeks and staying at the Radison.. Pros: welcoming, take walk-ins, awesome cut more

I'm from DC but was visiting friends in Boston for 2 weeks and staying at the Radison.. I asked the concierge where to get my hair done because my hair was in rough shape.. I needed a cut and I needed it fast. They told me to go down the street to Amaci Salon. I walked in and was instantly welcomed and only had to wait about two minutes. The owner cut my hair and it came out awesome- I love it.. Definitely worth trying out a new place and now I know that whenever I come to Boston I'll have a great place to get my hair done! Thank you Amaci! -Janie Fuller. Pros: welcoming, take walk-ins, awesome cut more

My roommate and I found Amaci through Citysearch, and we both ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I've been going to Sonia since September, and I have never had a better cut! The highlights she does are absolutely perfect too! There are just enough of them, and the color is amazingly natural. People are constantly asking me where I get my hair done! With such a reasonable prices and easy access via the green line, Amaci is absolute perfection! I couldn't recommend it anymore highly! Also, remember to ask for Sonia, she's the BEST! This salon is an absolute find! Pros: Best Highlights, Stylists that listen and give input more

I (used to) have very curly, FRIZZY, hair. After washing my hair, it took me probably an hour to blow dry and style it. {& believe me that is NOT something that I enjoyed doing.} I looked into the Keratin Treatment and decided to give it a whirl... Why not right? So I made my appointment at Amaci Salon- Pros: Did wonders for my hair more

Why not right? So I made my appointment at Amaci Salon- The whole process took a little over 3 hours but it was WELL WORTH IT. After leaving, I was instructed to wait 3 days before washing my hair or getting it wet...After what seemed like the longest 3 days of my life, I finally washed my hair and was so excited with the outcome! It took me.. NO LIE... 20 minutes to dry my hair -- it is now soooooo smooth and the frizz is gone! I couldn't believe it... I love it! All I have to say is Amaci's keratin treatment is a miracle worker! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! -Alex A. Pros: Did wonders for my hair more

That rating is for Amad's cut and color. He's one of the best! This rating also chooses to ignore the waxing services - please do not go here for waxing. You will be so sorry if you do. I started seeing the stylist Maria here about 4 years ago maybe.... she was ok and I stopped going until I got a Groupon for a haircut and bikini wax. (To her credit, Amad asserts she's improve a lot over the years). Upon my return, I had my first cut with Amad. HE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. First of all, he talked me into blond highlights instead of my usual ""it's approaching fall and I need to go goth girl"" habit, and I really loved it. Who'd a thunk? Secondly, he respected my wishes to not go super layer-y (my life's struggle has been against hair dressers who want to put a million long layers in my hair). The end product looked fabulous and grew out beautifully. I didn't need to cut it for 5 months! Dare I say it was the BEST HAIRCUT I'VE EVER HAD? [but seriously, minus 1 star for the price. I know he's the salon owner, but hot damn that was expensive] The bikini wax, on the other hand, did not go over so smoothly. It was my first time (regular, NOT brazilian thank goodness).. it was painful... there was blood... there was a lack of clotting... she was not apologetic about it... yikes). The moral of the story is this: be sure they only handle the hair on your head. Then you will be very happy. more

last week I happaned to be in Boston, went to Amaci salon,the person that took care of me her name is Anna (did waxing), she was very through and knowledgable about her work and how to handle a customer. She took the time to provide a great customer service. I was very happy with my first experience with this salon and I'm planning about coming back to them very soon because of the excellent first impression and service I've gotten. Pros: best customer service more

I just moved to Boston and needed a new salon. My initial plan was to try out a few places & see which one I liked the best. I live right down the street from Amaci and decided to try it out & after going here I know I didn't need to look any further.. Pros: convenient location, cut, waxing Cons: n.a more

I just moved to Boston and needed a new salon. My initial plan was to try out a few places & see which one I liked the best. I live right down the street from Amaci and decided to try it out & after going here I know I didn't need to look any further.. I got my hair cut and also got my eyebrows waxed. The cut was awesome and I even made my next appointment to try out some highlights. The waxing was great as well and fairly priced I thought. It was quick and painless and the girl who did it was very sweet. As someone new to the area, I would say Amaci is a great salon and would definitely recommend it. Pros: convenient location, cut, waxing Cons: n.a more

I was referred from a friend to Amaci (& got the 20% off referral discount, which was nice.) I hadn't gotten a hair cut in a long time, and I mean a loooooong time, so it was a much needed visit. Pros: cut, service more

I was referred from a friend to Amaci (& got the 20% off referral discount, which was nice.) I hadn't gotten a hair cut in a long time, and I mean a loooooong time, so it was a much needed visit. I usually don't write reviews, but I loved my hair so much, I figured why not help people decide that Amaci was a great choice for a salon- I asked the guy who did my hair, which happened to be the owner, for a few inches off with some layers and it turned out great!.. Made my very boring hair look more exciting. I also did this gloss treatment on my hair that made it look so healthy. I would say Amaci Salon is the go-to place for a great cut and excellent service. Pros: cut, service more

Updated review.... I was searching for a new salon and wanted to spruce up my look. Amaci had a lot of great reviews so I thought I was safe! I have never had highlights before and wanted to brighten up my hair. I have to say I LOVE the highlights. Perfect coloring, perfect distribution. I have gotten compliments on my coloring. My husband loved it as well. The hair cut...not the greatest. My prior review was a 1 for this reason alone. After a few days I was able to style my hair in a way that made it look decent. I was contemplating going back into the salon to have it fixed, but the only alternative would have been to cut my hair shorter, which I did not want to do. Once my hair grows out a bit I'll have a lot more options. I will return to Amaci once more, but I will be VERY VERY clear about what I DON""T want for a cut. Pros: Fabulous color Cons: cut could have been better more
