Cha Cha Cha

Pedro not only listens to you, he does what you want His coloring is great and cuts are the best. Plus, he is fun to work with!

Great for my clients last minute appointment for a one year old– first hair cut! :) They did a great job!

I have been to Pedro several times now and he is wonderful! He listens to what style you would like, and he gives a great haircut. He is also the friendliest and easy to chat with during your appointment. Highly recommend this salon.

I wish I could use heart eyes emojis on Unilocal because I would use so many in this review for my hairdresser at Cha Cha Cha, Pedro. I used to live in Boston, but now live in NYC, and I plan my trips back home around my roots/​color regrowth, or if I need a cut, because no one does my hair like Pedro. :) He’s the best! Love coming to this salon.

Sarah gave me the choppy crop I wanted at a very reasonable price. I have lank, thin, naturally crap hair that can be difficult to make look nice, but she did it professionally. The salon is funky and fun and on a nice block of the South End. None of the nasty attitude you can get at some places — just really skilled people. No complaints, will definitely be back.

I just got my hair cut earlier today at Cha Cha Cha and couldn’t be happier. I went at the recommendation of fellow Unilocalers, because it’s 3 blocks from my apartment, and was in my price range. I’m from California and have for 5 years been terrified of having anyone else cut my hair, especially after a horrific experience at Floyd’s.
Pedro did an excellent job, completely reviving my dull, dead hair. He also made a point to talk to me about my current cut and then decide together what to do with it before he even started. He explained I had a V-​shape– didn’t really notice that before, or realize there was a term for it– and pointed out some weird layers that he would fix. Pedro also fixed the straight bangs I’d been attempting to trim on my own (also not one of my best ideas). Overall it was $ 60 for the cut, and I will more than likely head back for a $ 10 bang trim after having such a wonderful experience there!

For a regular guy, their $ 40 haircut is just not worth it. It was ok at best.

I just got back from my appointment at Cha Cha Cha and am thoroughly impressed.
I was a little skeptical after reading mixed reviews on Unilocal,but was pleasantly surprised with the service I received.
I did not encounter any problems using my Gilt Group voucher (unlike other customers with past vouchers). I called about 2 weeks ago to make an appointment, thinking I would have to wait a couple of weeks to be scheduled. I was happy they were able to fit me in the first date I was available.
Isabel was my stylist. She was friendly and professional (not snobby at all!) I told her I wanted natural highlights and a simple layered haircut. I am very happy with the results! My hair color is now very similar to my natural color as a child (which is the color I wanted)!
While Isabel was finishing up my foils the receptionist Tom arrived. I found him to be just as friendly. He even offered to grab me a coffee while I was waiting.
I will be going back to Cha Cha Cha for full priced services in the future.

Great first cut w/​Michael from a groupon or one of those. Everyone I spoke to said terrific cut, best you’ve had in years!
Flash forward to cut #2. I am late. I call to tell him I am running late, he says fine. I show up 15 min late (traffic) and he says we need to reschedule. His 4:30 is there. My appointment was at 4. I kindly asked him how long he schedules for a woman’s haircut and style, he said 30 min. I said you spent more time with me the last time, about an hour and I loved my cut and style. He then told me that’s all he gives and basicially take it or leave it.
I walked out of the salon, sans cut, at which point, I guess I shut the door too hard, and he proceeded to chase me onto the sidewalk gushing profanities at me. F… and b… and such. CRAZY! while I loved the haircut from before, he obviously has some serious issues to deal work out. Perhaps he was just hung over. IDK!
I will never go there again and enter at your own risk for a verbal abuse soirée!

I’m surprised about all the negative buywith me experiences! I first went to see Scarlett with a buywithme voucher last month and I just went back to her to touch of my highlights. Scarlett is great! She listened to exactly what I wanted and I’m very happy with how my hair turned out. She also gave me a fabulous blow out! Prices are very reasonable too! Cha cha cha succeeded in making me a return client from my BWM experience.

I was looking for a new hairdresser, and went on Unilocal for recommendations. Cha Cha Cha came highly rated and sounded great, so I called to make an appointment. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to see how good or bad they might be at cutting hair. I made an appointment for a few weeks out with Scarlett for a Tuesday. She called me a few days later saying that a friend was unexpectedly coming in to town and was there any way I could change my appointment to Monday. It was still a couple of weeks out and she was really nice about it, so I said it was no problem and made the switch. I altered my work schedule so that I would be working Tuesday instead of Monday, so I could get my hair cut on Monday.
Then yesterday, 24 hours before my appointment, I received another call from Scarlett, saying that a friend was in town, and could I please come in Sunday (that very day) or alternatively come in Tuesday and see a different stylist. Now I was never going to be able to go in on Sunday as I was away, but I would happily have seen another stylist, *had that option been offered to me the first time she called to reschedule.* 24 hours before the scheduled appointment, however, it was too late for me to rearrange my work schedule again to accommodate her. Had she asked me in that initial call to postpone a week, or to see a different stylist, I would happily have done so. Calling to reschedule for a second time the day before the appointment, however, I found really unprofessional. I called them back to say that neither of those options was acceptable, and that I would be seeking a new salon.

At the recommendation of a friend, I ventured away from Newbury St. to Cha Cha Cha to see Scarlett. I am thrilled that I did. I showed Scarlett three pictures of the hair color I wanted, and she nailed it.
Not only was I happy with the outcome of my hair, but the price was affordable too, and Scarlett is a sweet heart. She’s down-​to-​earth and always has something interesting to say.
I’ll definitely be going back to Scarlett!

I’ve been going to the same hair stylist back in NY (where I’m originally from) for the past 3 – 4 years and have been very hesitant about having someone else cut my hair since I have very thick and hard to manage hair.
It was after much deliberation that I decided i needed to find someone in Boston where I’ve been living to cut my hair since it just is too hard to coordinate my visits back home with my hair cutting. Finally I decided to go through Cha Cha Cha specifically Sarah after I got a Buywithme coupon.
I took a picture from the internet as a frame of reference as to what I wanted it to look like and Sarah was very careful and referred to it a couple of times and gave me a great cut. I’m always afraid of is it growing out weird but it did not and got a ton of compliments for a fantastic doo and it grew in real nice.
Very quaint boutique style salon w/​o the pretension, pomp/​circumstance of Newbury st and giving solid cuts, which to me is why one would go to a Salon in the first place (call me ol fashioned). Very happy with the service provided and will most certainly be calling Sarah for a repeat visit very soon!

I’ve been trying to find a new stylist for a while, since mine moved out to JP. I’ve tried a few different places on Newbury St., but after reading the reviews here, decided to give Cha Cha Cha a try when the BuyWithMe deal came through.
It did take a while to get an appointment, but it was totally worth the wait. Stylists have been blow-​drying my hair straight for more than a decade, even when I tell them that I haven’t picked up a hair dryer in longer than that. Michael took the time to really listen to what I wanted. He took one look, told me that my cut didn’t make sense for someone who air-​dried, and suggested a cute, short bob. We then talked about my color, and we were off and running.
I now have an adorable ‘do that looks great and suits my lifestyle, with great highlights and overall color to boot. I also had a great time hearing about another client’s wedding plans, and talking to Michael as well.
I came in for the deal, but I’ll definitely be back!

From Cha Cha Cha’s website: «Our classic, trendy or avant-​garde colors and haircuts always start with the consult… we listen to you». I find that nothing could have been further from the truth.
I usually get my hair cut at Supercuts because I have easy hair. Stick straight, and I refuse to style it. I usually get one long layer and done. For my friend’s upcoming wedding I have been growing my hair out for months and wanted to get a more professional cut to make sure I look extra nice.
I was early for my 5:30 appointment, but Isabel was 20 minutes late. She asked me what I wanted and I explained that I don’t like to style my hair and I only wanted to cut about 2 inches off. I also explained that I hate when my hair is all one length because it feels very heavy. A few minutes later I had lost 4 inches, all at one length, and Isabel was blow drying with a round brush. Isabel was very rough with the brush even after I told her I was tender-​headed. After my hair was dry she snipped a couple of pieces in the front and was done. I would have asked her to layer a little more, but I was afraid of losing any more length and the stylist at the wedding not being able to work with it.
I am really disappointed that all those months of growing my hair out were for nothing and I will have to get another haircut as soon as the wedding is over so I don’t feel like I have a blanket on my head.

I left feeling pretty crappy.
First of all, I felt like a second class citizen for using my BuyWithMe voucher. I came in five minutes before the appointed time, and barely received a hello from Michael. However, it was clear he knew who I was b/​c, as soon as the client he was working with left, he greeted me lukewarmly using *half* of my first name.
Michael was awkward to converse with, and called Asian hair «coarse» when I asked if he had many Asian clients. Furthermore, after he inquired if I went to one hair stylist regularly and I replied «no,» he proceeded to ask me if I bought a lot from BuyWithMe. Call me sensitive, but I totally felt sized up and judged.
The cherry on top was, as we were squaring things away at the end, Michael commented how amazing/​funny that I was one of several «Lee’s» who had come in via BuyWithMe. :/​Uh, are you correlating being Asian with being cheap?!? Erm… I was really tempted to walk away without tipping, but refrained because it would totally fuel/​exacerbate his stereotype mentality.
It’s really too bad b/​c Cha Cha Cha is so close to my office, but going back isn’t happening unless — somehow — I’m convinced folks there get a major attitude makeover. Yeah, just in case there is any ambiguity, I sure as heck will not be recommending Cha Cha Cha to my friends, especially those with «coarse Asian hair.» Yikes!

I have lived in the area for 3 ½ years and I have been searching for a good, reasonably priced stylest. I found her! ISABEL!
She did exactly what I asked and my hair looks and feels wonderful. I brought in a picture and walked out looking exactly like it. Okay… I didn’t look like the model but my hair did!
Great spot!

This place is everything I hoped for and then some!
I’ve been seriously neglecting my hair over the last year or so — one haircut 6 months ago and more than a few boxes of dye. I found Cha Cha Cha on Unilocal when searching for someone to fix the color in my hair. After readying the reviews, I called and made an appointment with Michael. When I told him what I wanted (new color, cut, and a blow-​dry), he expected it to take a couple hours and wanted to make sure he had enough time set aside so he wouldn’t be rushed.
When I got there for my appointment, Michael sat me right down and we started discussing what I was hoping to do, and what he thought was the best way to do it. He brought uot a few color swatches and we went from there.
When the color was done (he ended up foiling a good portion of my head and then adding another color, then doing an all-​over) he gave me one of the best cuts I’ve had in a really long time. He worked with my curly/​wavy hair, and gave me a cut that (hopefully) works both natural and straightened — to be honest, I love how it looks straigh so much that I haven’t let it dry naturally yet.
Lastly — the price. This is where this type of service usually scares me. For the full service, it would have been pretty pricey ($ 260, but he did a TON of work on me) but with my first time customer discount it came out to $ 156. AMAZING!!!
With a funky décor, genuinely nice and talented people, and prices that are wonderful, this is my new go-​to salon!

I had my hair taken from brunette to light blonde at a salon school back home and was ready to touch up the roots and add some lighter highlights. A search of Unilocal brought me to Cha Cha Cha and I couldn’t have been happier.
Sarah did a great job on my highlights and went above and beyond, fixing some left over coppery color from the original dye job. She gave me tips on how to maintain my hair and kept it real when talking about how much lighter I could go, how often I should fix the roots, etc. I feel confident that in her hands I won’t have any burnt-​out or broken off blonde disaster stories.
Sarah was a pleasure to talk to as well — I always get a little uncomfortable with the forced and shallow salon chit chat, but we had a great conversation about Boston, the South End, Cambridge hipsters, and the biotechnology industry.
When I left, I immediately scheduled my next appointment. I’m excited to have found a stylist I trust.

Michael! Michael! Michael! What can I say? I love my hair! He did exactly what I asked for and for a steal of deal (the new client discount is amazing — even full priced I was floored)! Cute salon, great atmosphere, great people (love Tom!), I had so much fun chatting it up with Michael and wow, wow, wow!
I was there for a very long time and saw many other clients come and go with Michael and the two other stylist working. I seriously almost said, «I want my hair to look like hers!» pointing to a client who just finished with one of them. Everyone looked fabulous when they left!
This place is a GEM, a rare find and I say, look no further, you just found the hair salon you’ve been dreaming about. I heart Cha Cha Cha!
