Crew International

The stylist I used to go to here has left in what seems to be a grand exodus from the salon. This is really disappointing, since now I have to either go to his new salon, or find a new salon all together. On top of that, Mona is gone now too! No more one stop shopping for me.

Sadly the Crew Inter. of days of old is no longer… but Richie and Cliff are across the street at Michael’s, Mona is at Dellaria, and Bobby is in the Arcade at Dennis’ Hair. Their neighbors knew quality and jumped to keep them local! Go find them and rejoice!

I usually goto Karina for my hair cuts and she is excellent. She is precise and patient. She really listens and pays close attention to what you are asking for. Unfortunately, she no longer works here. But the GOOD NEWS is that Karina has moved across the street to Michael’s salon. Other crew stylists-​Cliff and Ritchie — have also moved to Michael’s.

It’s VERY important to know — even though the sign still says CREW INTERNATIONAL it is NOT Crew International any more. A TOTALLY other owner — Kimora — bought the space. I had the same issue when trying to ask for Mona (before I saw her sign over at Dellaria’s). Kimora did a nice job on my hair, I have to say, but for waxing I ONLY trust Mona. I didn’t realize until after my appointment at «Crew» that I was told they were a new place altogether. I would have preferred to be told that up front.

Please see my previous review raving about Mona, the best waxer EVER! I was a huge fan of the salon in general, loved Donna the receptionist too (who is gone) and now Mona is gone too. When I found out she was gone I asked where she is and was told they don’t know but why not use who they have. I went back in a week later asking if they found out any more info where Mona is, I’ve been seeing her for over 10 years and it was a personal connection. They seemed to sympathize, said they didn’t know, took my name and number and said they would try to relay the information. Turns out Mona is across the street at Delaria’s. There is a sign out front and I have already gone and met with her. As it turns out, they DID know she is there and flat out lied to me to try to keep their business. I then called to ask why they would do that. I got screamed at on the phone by the new manager and was advised not to call back again. There was no apology, no explanation of why I was lied to. I know this isn’t just me who has been lied to, a few people have asked me about Mona through Unilocal.Well everyone, we know the real answer, the good people of the salon left as well, and this is NOT a company I will give my hard earned money to. So disrespectful. Find a new salon.

¹⁰⁄₁₀ would visit again. Karina is incredible. I’m surprised every single time by what she can achieve with my hair. I have very long hair, and she ALWAYS takes the necessary amount of time to properly cut and style it. In fact, one time I neglected to schedule a long-​enough session, and she instructed me on what to tell the receptionist next time so that I could have an appropriate blow-​out. I never feel rushed, and Karina remembers who I am as a client. I’ve never felt like just another haircut for these people. I love this salon!

Go to Erin! She’s great! I’ve been looking for a go-​to place for years now and am happy to report I have finally found one. I will be back!
While not cheap, prices are pretty reasonable when compared to other high caliber salons in the Greater Boston area.

After being with the same hair stylist for over 20 years (and just having moved to Boston), I was really nervous about someone new. But Cliff is amazing!!! The haircut I just got is the best I have had in 20 years! It even looked good when I woke up in the morning. And I have very curly difficult hair to cut. So I am more than pleased!

I have been living in the Boston area for a few years now, but always traveled to the North Shore to get my hair done. It was inconvenient, but I was never able to find anyone locally that I was happy with. Until Now! Lynne S. came highly recommended to me, and she did not disappoint. I asked for a major change — a short, pixie style haircut, with color and highlights The compliments are still rolling in, even six weeks after leaving the salon. I am so happy to have a «go to» girl in my neighborhood. If you are new to the area, or just looking for a new stylist, Lynne S ROCKS!

I got the best haircut here! My hairdresser was Karina, who was super friendly, and she gave me some really good tips on how to style and take care of my hair! I also got my brows done by Mona, who did a perfect job. They’re also totally affordable, so I’m just going to Crew from now on! I have nothing even remotely negative to say about this place!

Since my hair is so curly, I’m usually hesitant to get it cut at a new salon. However, I was very happy with my experience here. The receptionist was very friendly, the salon itself was very clean, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. My hair dresser, Chris, was fantastic. Not only did she give a great haircut, but she was friendly and easy to talk to. I will definitely be coming back.

Had Diane as my hair cutter and she was great! It was quick, cheap, and well done. I will definitely be going back

My previous history of ‘salons’ included the likes of Supercuts and the Hair Cuttery’s of the world, I happened upon Crew International somewhat by mistake. Recently moving to the CC area, I had heard (off-​handedly) that for dudes, this was a good place to check out and it would be worth my time. I am glad that I did and it certainly IS worth my time. As previous entries have stated, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, easy to schedule and they are very accomodating… and, most importantly, they cut my hair well and the way I want it. My main dude is Richie because he is awesome at what he does, but if he is not available (say, for an impromptu walk-​in), you really cannot go wrong with any of the staff. They know what they are doing! Anyway, point is, I feel great walking out of there and, well, isn’t that the whole point of getting a hair cut? I know, I know, dude’s aren’t really supposed to care too much about this type of stuff, but I do and I am very happy to have finally found a place that can do everything for me in the hair-​department! The cost is more than those other places I mentioned (usually around $ 25) w/​o tip (I tend to give the hairdressers a 10-​spot and the folks who wash my hair a fiver), so you are looking at about $ 40 or so. While it may be a little rich for some pockets, I find that it’s money well spent because they do a fantastic job and I feel great afterwards. I am more than happy to call Crew International my hair salon!

Went in not knowing what to expect but got some expert help from Kristen. She was super helpful and helped me get my hair to look awesome. Definitely using crew next time

This review is for Kareena!
Finally found an awesome hair stylist after 5 years! She’s very nice and works with you to give you a haircut that compliments you. Been here twice — once for Brazilian blowout & cut and once for color and cut. And I am coming back!
And she works great with Indian origin hair!!!

The receptionist, Donna, at Crew is the most pleasant. She remembers people, understands product and takes care of everything — always with a smile!

Tabitha Coffey would be proud of this salon. The first thing I noticed is how clean it was. The staff was very professional and courteous. I had made an appointment with Oxana after reading a review on Unilocal.My hair is fine and thinning so finding a stylist who knows how to work with what I have is a challenge. Oxana was a delight and really knows how to style hair, I highly recommend her. I showed her a picture from a previous cut a while back, in another city, that I liked. I said it was just a guide of what I liked and to use her best judgement for a style, based on this. Oxana nailed it and I left the salon so delighted. Her skill is easily of that of a stylist who charges $ 75 – 100 for a similar cut in other salons, as I have experienced in the past.

Everyone needs to go see Mona for any waxing or hair removal needs. She is quick, thorough, and entertaining. She uses the hard wax that doesn’t need paper strips, so it is much less painful.

I’ve tried many salons. This place is great for both men and women. Many of my female friends get cuts and colors there. For a guy, the place is awesome. I’m in and out in 20 minutes. They are pleasant, accommodating, punctual with reservations and very reasonable.
Oksana has been cutting my hair for over two years and she is simply excellent. I would highly recommend this place. Even though it’s on Harvard Street I never seem to have a problem parking in that area.

I was really excited about my hair color when I first had it done. However, as it grows out, the heavily streaked locks and uneven nature of the color has become obvious.
