Supercuts

I highly recommend Janice as a stylist at Supercuts. She has a great attitude and engaging personality which made my experience great. I came in with a rough idea on what i wanted but she exceeded my expectation. I cant wait to come back and have her as my stylist.

I have cut my hair here several times and regretted the decision every time. After my most recent visit, my hair cut was so bad that I went to another barbershop the next day to get my hair cut again.
Don’t waste your money — go elsewhere

Julianne regularly does an outstanding job on my cut and color with highlights. She knows exactly what to do with my short hair and keeps me looking on trend. Her highlights are perfection! I’m regularly complimented on my do after I’ve made a visit to Julianne.

Do not go to this supercuts unless you need to look like a bridge troll. I couldn’t give this store zero stars.

Julianne is the best hair stylist I have ever worked with. I have naturally dark brown to black hair and like to keep it a darker strawberry blonde. This would be impossible to maintain anywhere else. Other hairdressers would dye and it would turn yellow/​orange, or get too nervous and only bring it one shade lighter. Not Julianne, she is an expert.
Julianne knows how to color. She knows her clients and she knows their hair. When I first met her she listened carefully do what I wanted and consulted with another stylist. Color came out great and it has continued to look great every time I come in (around two years now.) I frequently get complimented on how nice a color my hair is and when I tell people it’s dyed, how natural it looks.
If you want great color at an affordable price I would highly recommend Julianne at Supercuts in Porter Square.

When I need a trim or a cut, I know I can count on Julie M. to give me a great cut. She listens to the client and she’s been a hairstylist for over 10+ years.
It’s comforting being able to sit in her chair and not have to worry about anything. The price is great too.
I am a repeat customer. Thank you, Julie. See you in September.

After getting a very disappointing haircut late afternoon, in Central Square, I called the Porter Square Supercuts upon arriving home. Decided that I couldn’t just «live with it», and wanted someone to FIX IT. Luckily for me that someone was Janice… she was soothing… she both talked AND listened, So, great haircut, jangled nerves calmed, and I plan on becoming a regular… with both Janice and the Porter Square/​North Cambridge Supercuts. You should do the same !

Last 4 – 5 Hair cuts in 6 months have been here! They are all friendly! Every worker, staff, even other customers make this a pleasant experience. I can never go wrong with Supercuts I go to. Mostly Lexington Street Waltham and Auburndale near Star Market.
The bottom line I feel comfortable. I know some people like the private personal salon. But, even as a guy I enjoy being taken care of to perfect satisfaction.
Julie with long brown hair was really nice and talked to me about what I wanted. But everyone is helpful to my basic hair cutting needs.
I come back again, and again. Nowhere else.

First off I sat in the waiting area while my stylist (who probably didn’t know customers could see) was styling herself in the mirror.
She was very quiet and felt like she hated her job.
I would not recommend by any means.
I want my money back.
I asked my stylist for her opinion and she was very unhelpful.
I walked out feeling like I need to go to get my hair done again.
Also, no blow dry or straightening is included.
Very disappointed. Avoid!!!

I had a great experience here today. I was a walk in and they got me in before the rush. Front desk was smiling and cheerful. The girl who did my hair was polite, professional, and talented. The prices here are very reasonable. (Cut and wash is under $ 20) I would recommend to a friend!

It looks like its been awhile since this Supercuts in North Cambridge has been reviewed. I have gone there regularly for the past two years for cuts, wash and blow dries and have found the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. The current managers seem to have the customers best interest in mind.
My go to people are Julieanne, Nicole and Julie B. I highly recommend them all.
I’ve watched many others come and go with great haircuts– men, children and woman from a variety of hairdressers. Call ahead and the wait is usually brief or not at all.

I wanted to write this review for years. Went there only once and had to wait for 30 min for them to get to me. They weren’t busy. One has finished with her client, and then started glacially moving from one end of the room to another, carrying a dustbin absentmindedly. At last, she decided that wasting any more time like this would be «too obvious», so she waived me to have a seat. But she rushed through in 5 min and did a horrible job. I was asking her to do one thing, then she told me something to the effect of «no, this is not what you want» and did it her way. I was horrified for weeks with my haircut and cringed every time I looked in the mirror. Never again.

I do not recommend this location. I went there today and it took almost 10 minutes for someone to even come to the front of the store and check me in. All of the employees were in the back. I understand Supercuts is a quick in and out deal, which is what I want, but the girl rushed too much and did a poor job. My haircut was uneven and I was rushed out. Save yourself the money and aggravation.

hey it’s supercuts. fast, ya never know who you’re going to get.

I love Supercuts, it’s a $ 15 haircut with no appointment needed (and often times a short to no wait) seven days a week.

I used to take my kids there and occasionally went for myself (I had my own long standing professional relationship with my Barber, but if you’re at a place already sometimes and are short on time or just plain tuckered out, why not?). At one time, I knew just about every employer there by first name and that was always nice. We got that personal level of service and satisfaction that makes you want to return and give them your business over and over again, because they earned it. Well, after 10 years plus, I’ve seen the place change quite a bit. Some good, some bad, but that’s anywhere and everywhere you look in the business world.
The problem I have seen, usually stems from the management (and you get to learn who and what they are through the hairdressers and by seeing things yourself and in person). They come and go and all want to put their own mark on the brand, which there is nothing wrong with doing. I’ve done it myself in my profession and like to think I will continue to do so, as a professional myself. It’s just a shame to see some of the not so good ones come in and just make everyone in the shop’s life miserable, sometimes for their own pleasure and simply because they can. This can increase turnover rates which sometimes is justifiable. There is nothing worse than someone cutting your hair who is just miserable and constantly complaining. I’ve seen it time and time again and just makes for a very unpleasant experience. In other cases though, it is not good when the good hairdressers are forced out as well. I’ve watched countless amounts of those good people be driven out for the silliest of things, which in most cases is just jealousy and egos that are just too big for people to handle, including themselves.
To those people, I would just say, if someone leaves your particular business or shop, than so be it! Let it go, move on and be a grown-​up about it. Let people move on with their lives and be happy. Stop the Junior High, schoolyard stuff and get over things. If for some reason that is not possible for people to do, than they are the ones who have to live with themselves.
Bottom line, you get what you pay for I guess. There is good and bad everywhere you go. I just won’t personally be returning to this shop anytime soon, despite the few hairdressers that I know who are still there and do a good job. You’ll have to experience it for yourself to make your own judgment and then come back on Unilocal and let the world know your own opinion.

Anyplace that requires me to spend 10 – 15 minutes post-​haircut trimming random uncut hairs and doctoring the service I just paid for is not my cup of tea.
Granted, the staff is pleasant and you get your hair shampoo’ed which is always nice, but I’m just not happy with the quality of cuts I’ve had here. There’s always a few things off that irk me– the sideburns are not quite lined up, the back hasn’t been shaped up properly, etc. etc.
It’s ok for what you pay for, but even then I’ve had cuts in the $ 14 range that are solid with no modification necessary (ahh the East Village, NY how I miss you).
The convenient factor is there, and the price is affordable, but in the end I will search for a solid barbershop in Harvard Square to give me a solid cut with no touch ups necessary.
Maybe I’m just not a salon guy.

I was a bit skeptical when I went for my haircut at Supercuts about a month ago. I’d read all the reviews on here and had mainly based my decision on how cheap it was since everywhere else was absolutely ridiculously overpriced. I figured worst case, hair grows back…
I called ahead but it turned out that I got there just before the after-​work rush. Janice took me right away and I explained to her what I wanted. She told me it would be $ 15 even though my hair was down to my waist, and I was thrilled. She washed my hair and listened to me about how long I wanted it and what I wanted to do, and she didn’t pressure me to buy any of those expensive hair products like other people do. She cut my hair to about shoulder length and with layers, and then she blow dried it and straightened it for free (I guess maybe the straightening usually costs extra). She chatted with me the whole time and even recommended her dentist to me since I was new to the area.
She actually got in trouble while doing this, her manager came over and scolded her for quoting me so little. Apparently, because I had such long hair, she was supposed to charge me upwards of $ 50 – but because she’d quoted me at $ 15, she had to stick with it.
Overall, it was not only a wonderful experience, but my hair also looked AMAZING when she was done! Seriously, better than it ever has been. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on my haircut in the past month, and I look forward to going back. I highly recommend Janice specifically – I can’t vouch for the others, but Janice has been doing this for 20+ years and really knew what she was doing.

OK, I previously gave Supercuts 4 stars, but after a horrendous experience the other day, I have to change my mind! (And I don’t generally write negative reviews, but this was not cool.)
It totally depends on who you get, but after the other day, I’ll probably never go back there.
No sooner did I sit down than this chick was bitching and whining about the shitty tips people leave. She asked if I went anywhere this summer and then complained that all she did was work and didn’t get to do anything. She told me people don’t understand — she lives off of her tips — she only gets paid every other week (hmm…so do I… don’t most of us? or every month?) — and that she always makes sure to tip well. She said restaurant tips don’t apply at Supercuts. You’ve gotta do much better than that. She said even in a restaurant, though, she always tips at least $ 15 even if the bill is $ 20. Even if the service isn’t great.
And then she proceeded to absolutely BUTCHER my hair. It looks like someone wielding a machete had a free-​for-​all on my head. And it’s not even close to what I asked for. Guess she was too busy feeling sorry for herself to listen to what I had said.
Bye bye Supercuts! Time to go to a real salon.

If you want an inexpensive haircut, this is where you should go. Though, I have found recently, that money does get a better haircut, I spent years of my life entering this store waiting for a really good haircut.
I’ve never had a BAD experience here, it’s just not somewhere you should go if you really care about the cut, the precision with which it’s done, or the customer service while you wait/​or are being helped. I’ve overall felt underwhelmed by this place.
It’s cheap, and usually fairly quick, even if you are just walking in.
