I'm looking for a new salon for roots, highlights, & cut. I noticed that the owner answers every unsatisfied customer & tries to resolve it. That says a lot to me.~ I had a horrible experience at James Joseph Salon on Newbury Street. I spent over $200 on a nightmarish experience, "won't bore you" then another $200 to fix their mistakes! James Joseph never had the decency to get back to me. (I... more

Amad @ Amaci has been my go-to-guy for hair for quite some time now. Each visit far exceeds my expectations. His highlights are excellent, best I've ever had (and I am picky!) His glosses leave hair very smooth and shiny, and do not fade. Love his cuts too. I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else.

I've also had eyebrow threading with Ana and they came out awesome! She's a pro!

I've been to the salon and all I can say is, I'm not sure where these reviews come from. I think they are the owners friends. The owner was too busy taking care of other customers to pay attention to me or even blow-dry my hair (someone else did it). He seemed more concerned with himself than with the customers. I would go elsewhere.

Cons

- prices, unprofessional service

Amad is the man! He's incredibly attentive and always offers great, cutting edge suggestions...There's never a dull moment with all of his amusing stories. Plus Amaci sells great hair products that I haven't seen at other salons. I highly recommend you check him out!

Pros

Amaci Salon is great. The owner is an expert with color and I always leave there happy with the color and cut. For the best experience try to go on a weekday to avoid the busy times, but either way I would highly recommend this salon for a great cut and amazing color.

Great everything!!!!

If you?re looking for style and professional haircut, Amaci Salon is the way to go. Don?t hesitate to go and try it out yourself. it is a great experience. I went there last week and I had the 20% off coupon for new customers and I was treated very well. I waited for only 10 min before i had the haircut. I will definitely go back again.

These guys didn't just cut my hair, they designed it. Because of my thin, straight hair, designing it is rather hard and I usually get the exact same haircut no matter where I go. The atmosphere was great and I it was like being among friends. The haircut was definitely something modern, so I can visit the clubs as well as look normal in the office.
Definitely worth the trip there.
