Cuttin Loose

Barbara is fantastic brilliant at wavy to frizzy hair, stays perfect for long time, I’m about to make another appointment and going to get it coloured/​highlighted for first time but feel brave with such a fantastic stylist. I’m sure she’ll do fantastic job

I tried this place out because it’s in my neighborhood, and even though Barbara did a great job, I won’t be going back. I liked my haircut and Barbara listened to what I wanted. But when I brought in a coupon that was for the wrong salon, the owner was unnecessarily rude about it. This website ( Unilocal) includes a link above to another Cuttin Loose salon that has a coupon for new clients. Of course I didn’t realize it was for a different salon when I printed it, and that’s fine, obviously you don’t have to honor a coupon that isn’t for your salon, but you don’t have to be rude about it. Also, they don’t take credit cards here which is something you should tell people when they book their first appointment. In my opinion that is outdated and inconvenient, so for those reasons I won’t be going back.

I’ve been to see Barbara numerous times and Karen once. Both are amazing and actually listen to what you want and will work with you to achieve the results you’re looking for. I’m always so thrilled with my hair when I come here. Occasionally I’ll branch out and try other places (usually more expensive too) and they just don’t compare. Everyone here is a professional and so talented and nice to boot. The prices are fantastic as well. Best hair salon in Boston, hands down.

This is such a great salon. Barbara is the best and is so talented when it comes to color! I’ve heard all the stylists do a great job though. Such great prices too for the quality you get!

I can’t believe that it has taken me this long to leave a review for Cuttin Loose! I have been seeing Julie for hair cuts for years, and in the past two years have also been having her color my hair. She does an amazing job and the price can’t be beat!
I also recently had my wedding, and Julie did my mom’s hair, Kathy did my updo and a bridesmaid’s updo, and Barbara did my mother-​in-​laws hair and another bridesmaid’s updo. Everyone looked amazing and were so happy with how things turned out, and the prices were super reasonable. Kathy does amazing updos and was so easy to work with for my trial and on the big day. She listened to everything I asked and was very receptive to my comments and concerns, which resulted in my loving my hair on the wedding day. She also put a hairpiece in for me which didn’t move the entire night, even with lots of dancing!
I love this place :)

All the stylist at Cutin Loose are excellent; I have friends that go to different ones. I go to Barbara with my curly, coarse hair. My sister and my neIces go to her also. She is the Best. My nieces have been going to her since they were toddlers and Barbara was so gental and kind and the haircuts were adorable.
I use to go to Newbury Street for years then a few other local salons in Quincy etc. Please try this gem and treat yourself to a great cut or color, men also.
The other pro besides the friendliness as soon as you walk in, the lower prices of all salons.

I have pin-​straight hair that is impossible to style. Curling irons, hot rollers, hair spray and even spray gel don’t stick to my hair. That being said, I need a hair style that doesn’t make me look look Cousin It and is easy to manage day-​in and day-​out. Two of my friends recommended I try Cuttin’ Loose; Barbara in particular and so I thought I’d give it a shot.
I must say, she is very good. Barbara gave me a hair cut that I was happy with — lots of layers and a length I found flattering for me. Also, the price was so low that I happily tipped her over 20%!
I don’t know the prices of colorings, as I’ve never had one. But, I do know that my friends who have been loyal customers of Barbara’s do get their color done with her and their highlights and lowlights always look great.
I’ve also had my hair styled here for a wedding. I went in with a picture and the stylist (not Barbara this time b/​c she wasn’t available) made an exact replica. The style didn’t give me a headache and held up the entire night! An amazing feat for my super-​straight, tough-​to-​style hair.
Give Cuttin’ Loose a chance if you’re looking for a stylist that will listen to what you want and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Love this hidden jewel! The best cut and color by far I am over downtown salons.
