I am not a high-demand client. For me this is about as perfect as I've ever had for a haircut/salon/stylist.\r
\r
I am half-Chinese, and like to have a fairly typical male haircut. Other stylists in Boston and other cities have such a hard time getting it right. But I described what i wanted to her, showed a couple pictures for comparison, and she took care of it. No kidding, in about 15 minutes of cutting, she nailed it. She even added nice texture and edging.\r
\r
But wait, there's more. I've never had to wait for a haircut at this place. Sure, that can be interpreted as bad because there aren't enough clients. But I don't care if there are 0 or 1000, if they cut my hair well, I'll go back. The most people I've ever seen in there is 1 other client. But that just means I never have to call ahead or wait for a haircut.\r

But wait, there's more. Before getting your haircut, her assistant gives you a 10-minute shampoo and scalp massage. It's very enjoyable. It's not a luxury back massage with bells and whistles. But they take their time to clean your hair, massage a few points on your scalp and neck, and then a rinse.\r

All for $25 (for men).\r

So here's the summary: fast, friendly hair-cut, done right the first time, with a little shampoo perk. If you're in a rush, you can be in out and gone within 30 minutes. How can you beat that?
