There's a simple sign-in & loyalty system (every 10 threading you get a free one, which is awesome) and the whole process is very streamlined. Price-wise it's only marginally cheaper than most other places I've been to, but the loyalty and the actual results make price irrelevant in my book. I have thick, naturally arched eyebrows so it was challenging to find places that didn't try to thin them out or either exaggerate / remove my natural arch in a weird way. I've NEVER had a bad shaping experience at Threading Place and they follow the shape of my brow to a T! Some other people have mentioned unfriendliness or clinical behavior; I've experienced a spectrum of this (some staff is friendlier, others professionally distant) but...honestly, I'm just here to get fly eyebrows, not make a friend, so I was never bothered. I've never been treated with anything remotely close to disrespect, or witnessed another being treated like that, although obviously I can't speak on what those other reviewers experienced.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY BRIDE! Scheduling an appointment for my wedding was quite the challenge and took nearly a month - I should have known at that point that this was not the place for me! It was so convenient to our hotel, though and I thought convenience was going to be important for my morning wedding. I booked a trial with Curtis more than a month before my wedding and then they called less than an hour before my appointment and asked if they could reschedule because he wasn't going to be in. Since I was on my way out the door when they called, I was a bit frustrated, but went ahead and rescheduled anyways. I went to my rescheduled appointment with Curtis and he did a great job - it took more than 2 hours, but we found something I loved! 2 weeks before my wedding and I asked my fiancé to drop something off for me at the salon, which he did. Well, the next day I get a phone call telling me that Curtis is away for personal reasons and they don't know if he'll be back to do my hair for my wedding (come to find out at my appointment that he quit weeks before), but they could reschedule me with another stylist to do another trial and I agreed that I could do that. . .well, I was there for 2 hours and the girl was really nice, but when I described exactly how Curtis had curled and styled my hair she must have had earplugs in because she made me look like a poodle bride from the 80s! It looked nothing like what had been done before and it didn't look like any effort had been made. She also used so much hairspray that my throat was hurting when I got home. When I got home, my fiancé could tell right away that she had made it way too curly and that it just wasn't even close to what had been done earlier. When I left the salon that night I wasn't happy at all and they said they had one other stylist who does weddings and they would call me to schedule something with her - well it's 3 days later and still no phone call! MY ADVICE: IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO HAVE YOUR HAIR DONE FOR YOUR WEDDING, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I NOW HAVE TO DO MY OWN HAIR FOR MY WEDDING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO KEEP TRYING OUT NEW STYLISTS. Did I mention my wedding is in a week? I would love a refund of the money I paid for my trial - since it was useless! read more

First of all, this review is LONG overdue. I was introduced to Amaci Salon after receiving a Groupon as a gift. I initially just went in to have a quick trim, by I ended up having my hair completely restyled, colored, as well as beautiful highlights that really accentuated the gorgeous color that my stylist helped me select. From the moment I walked in on my first visit ever, I was made to feel so welcomed by the staff at the front desk. I was slightly intimidated, and also a little nervous with a new salon, but Amaci's staff was overly friendly & accommodating. My coat and scarf were taken and hung up for me, and I was served with a beverage until I was ready to have my hair wahed and shampooed. I then received a gorgeous haircut from Amad, who was absolutely wonderful. Amaci has been my go to salon ever since. From cuts, coloring, foils, eyebrow threading & waxing, I received top notch service from Amad & his wonderful staff. I was extremely surprised by their pricing. For a full service salon located in the Back Bay, I always leave completly satisfied without the cost of other salons in and around the Back Bay/Newbury Street area. I was so happy with the way my hair came out with Amad, that I talked my son into getting his haircut as well... he hasn't been back to his barber since! I've also refered a friend and 2 co-workers to Amaci, and they've had the same experience. I can't express how much I endorse Amad, his staff, and Amaci Salon! read more

Finding the right hair salon in a new city usually takes a series of traumatic trial and error. I researched, read reviews, and decided my first trial would be Amaci. I recently transitioned to natural hair --- No more hiding my natural beauty under relaxers, extensions, and color. The hairstylist, Aretha, explained my options so I could understand because I have no idea about hair lingo. In the end, I was so impressed. I never knew my hair could be so straight without a relaxer. I had a very trendy, modern, yet professional style I could wear to work. I loved it times a thousand. I felt so glamorous. I should have been on a magazine. That never happens leaving the salon. Usually, no matter what you tell a stylist you still end up with the same, boring, grandma-church-lady look that you have to go home and fix yourself. I was ready for a night on the town with this hair. Everyone loved it as much as me. Only issue was parking was pricy (but they validate) and so is the shop (I spent $350). But they know how to make black hair beautiful and healthy in a nice, comfortable environment. And realistically, I would have ended up spending that much after getting a relaxer every six weeks anyway or trying to fix the botch job other salons did to me. I'm so glad I found the right salon on the first try. I'm looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Amaci salon is the best. I recently moved to Boston from NYC. I tried a lot of the top salons in NYC, and they are nothing in comparison to Amaci. I went in to see Amad (the owner of Amaci) for highlights. I was so happy with the color that I wanted a cut (despite it being around closing time). He stayed late to give me a great cut/blow dry/flat iron. I am absolutely amazed with the results, I have never been so happy. I can't stop singing his praises. He is an artist, and a master of his craft. But most importantly, in midst of running a very successful salon, he has not lost sight of what's important. For one, he has a great and genuine energy/vibe to him, and he is a person you will enjoy spending an hour or two with. Secondly, he makes you feel like you are the only client in his salon. His number one priority was making me happy. He does not rush you, and he puts in that extra effort to make sure that you are 100% satisfied and comfortable with your experience at his salon. Also to note...another stylist named Curtis was working while I was there. His clients walked out looking amazing too. Book an appointment at Amad, and I promise you that you will come out looking and feeling like a million bucks. read more

I can't say enough things about this Salon. I had great amount of trouble finding a good hairdresser in Boston. I tried both high and low profile places ranging from local hairdressers in Brookline and high end Newbury street salons. when I realized that I had enough of all that bs, trusted the huge amount of yelpers for this salons, and the result: extreme success, definitely found my hairdresser and never going anywhere else. going into the details; I was greeted by a friendly (friendly, not fake like one of those high end salons) host and invited to wait couple minutes and Amaid came to greet me shortly. First, we had a quick talk about the processes I did to my hair and style I used, then we decided to make it healthy. It's my style to leave it basically up to hairdresser to decide on the length, since I want to see if they can judge which style looks best on me, and Amaid took an amazing shot on that. I washed my hair first time today after that haircut and it even looks more amazing. This Salon also has eyebrow threading, If you have never gotten your eyebrows threaded... You have no idea what you are missing. The Lady's name was Anna she is so so sweet, I even made an apt for two weeks... read more

First and foremost, I have been getting brazilians for years, but this by far was the WORST and most painful one I have had. Ana was quick, but not gentle at all and I was very uncomfortable but she just kept going. It was really painful because she did not press down before removing the strip. I am very comfortable getting brazilians and I usually have no pain, but this was an absolute torture. If this were my first time getting a brazilian, I would choose to never get it again. Second, I had been to the salon once over 2 years ago. Recently I found a groupon for 2 brazilians so I purchased it. I called and made an appt, gave my name and phone number, but they mentioned nothing about the groupon being for first time comers (they should have known I had been there based on my phone number). After I walk across town, check in and go to their waxing space, she asks if I had been there, and I told her I came once in 2017. Lady refuses to accept my groupon and charges me full price of a terrible brazilian. I normally go to European Wax Center which has amazing service that is actually worth the 60 dollars (no pain, they take their time). 60 dollars for 5 mins of torture!!! are you kidding me? read more

I came to Amaci for the first time a month or so ago. My only regret is that I didn't start coming here sooner. Amad gave me the best haircut I've had in a long, long time ... maybe ever. Suffice it to say that my days of going to Supercuts and subpar hair salons are over. If you care at all about your appearance (which most of us do, let's face it, and hair is an important part of that), it really is worth it to pay a few extra bucks for a good haircut. The difference is amazing versus the haircuts I was getting before, and a number of people have commented to that effect on my haircut. That's not to say this place is expensive, because it's really pretty reasonable for a prime-location, quality hair salon in Back Bay. All I'm saying is you get what you pay for, so if you choose to get your hair cut on the cheap (i.e. $15 at Supercuts), the price will probably be reflected in the result. Back to Amaci, the level of service is amazing too. Everyone treats you like a highly valued customer, from the hostess/receptionist to the woman who washed my hair and gave me a scalp massage (which I loved, btw:), to Amad himself. Truly a first-class experience all-around. read more

I just wanted to take the time to reach out here because I believe in giving credit when credit is deserved. I know there is a lot of salons and hairdressers in Boston are a dime of dozen, that's why it's important I commend one that I just recently had an appointment with. I had an appointment with Jaclyn who made me feel like I was at home and extremely comfortable like I was her friend the second I walked in the door. She greeted me with a huge smile and took a good amount of time speaking to me about what I wanted to do with my hair and the goals I wanted to achieve with my hair for the future. As the appointment went on, she guided me and told me what she was doing, never made me feel nervous or anxious of how it was going to look. She gave me a full foil, cut and glaze. My hair couldn't have come out more perfect, she gave me what I have been wanting to do to my hair but no hair dresser could achieve it- but she did!!!!! It was perfect!!!!! I recommend everyone to go see Jaclyn for not only to have the best hair but for how comfortable and important she makes you feel! I rebooked with her and can't wait to have her to do my hair again! read more

I was long over due for a hair cut and I had been debating chopping my hair off short like i usual do every other year; however I wasn't 100% ready to commit to such a drastic change just yet. Instead I decided that I wanted to get a nice cut to clean up the end and add some layers. Additionally I had been thinking about adding some color to the ends, like some sort of ombre. I had never colored my hair before so I was a little nervous but Jaclyn put my mind at ease. When I arrived at the salon Jaclyn sat me down in the chair and asked what I was thinking of doing and I showed her a couple of pictures. She told me that she thought that a balayage might look nice on my hair and that she wouldn't need bleach which was very exciting news to me! She seemed very knowledgable and confident which put my mind at ease. At the end of the day my hair came out amazing! I absolutely loved the color and the cut was just what I wanted. I have gotten so many compliments and I am more than satisfied with how it came out. Jaclyn is such a sweetheart and so funny; I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and can't wait for my next cut/color. read more

I love this place! Every single time I go there, I get the best hair cut of my life. To become an expert in anything takes a lot of hardwork and skill. The employees at Amaci know their stuff. They understand hair as if it were a human being: they know what it needs to be fed, how it needs to be cared for, and how to keep its health up. You can tell that each and every one of them is knowledgable in hair care. However, not only do they know they're stuff, they care about the work they do. Your hair is their masterpiece, its their work of art, and its something they take pride in. When I went in earlier this year, I hadn't gotten my hair redone in a while. After my appointment was done, my hair dresser booked an appointment for me to come back in because he didn't all of his hard work to go to waste. Overall, I was impressed with everything: the expertise, the skill, the talent, and the pride taken in their execution. And on top of all that, my boyfriend LOVED the way my hair looked soooo much that when he saw me, he asked if I knew how to make my hair look like that everyday. I defintiely recommend it! read more

I moved to Boston from New York around a year ago, and have been very reluctant to find a stylist to cut my long hair for fear of them being too scissor-happy (which has happened to me in the past). But I was way too overdue for a trim, and decided to go to Amaci, a salon I have passed walking by many times. I always thought it looked chic and clean inside, plus they are always busy. So when it was time for a cut, I decided to give it a try. My stylist was Jaclyn, and her friendly and bubbly disposition immediately put me at ease. I have always had long hair and get anxious when I know I'm due for a trim, but Jaclyn made me feel so comfortable. She consulted with me in detail about what I wanted, and suggested some long layers to give my hair movement, all while promising I would still have my length. I am so thrilled with my new style. Jaclyn was so knowledgeable and gave me a lot of tips of how to care for my hair and attain that "salon" style at home. I couldn't be happier with my new look, and will definitely be returning to Amaci. I'm so happy I found my new stylist Jaclyn! read more

I decided it was time to try a new salon, something close to where I work in Back Bay and stumbled upon Amaci Salon - I am so glad I did! (On a side note, after going to the same hairdresser in the North End for over 20+ years, I decided it was time to find somebody new after she decided to chop off all my hair, after I told her to cut 1 inch off, and gave me one of the worst dye jobs I've ever seen. Not to mention she had been very icy towards me the last several times I went there. Not good. It's been six months since I last went to her and she hasn't contacted me since - so much for loyalty!) Amad, the owner of Amaci, has a no-nonsense, straightforward approach. He was very welcoming and re-assured me that he knew which color would look best for me - He definitely delivered. My hair looked and felt completely different - Thick, full and glossy. Suddenly I am getting compliments on my hair all the time! His staff was also very courteous, friendly and accommodating. Their prices are very reasonable and the location is ideal. I will definitely be going here from now on!! read more

I'm new to the Boston area and was looking for a Redken salon to get my color refreshed and my hair cut. I had an appointment with Jaclyn and she did a wonderful job. I'm pretty controlling about my hair, but she understood my vision and executed it well. I'm a quiet/introverted client, so going to salons can be awkward and anxiety inducing for me, but Jaclyn was very personable and helped me to feel relaxed as we got to know each other. She even offered me some hot gingerbread tea that was a gift from her mom, so sweet! The salon was very clean and had a friendly atmosphere. The only cons I would give to this appointment were that it took longer than I expected to finish everything and I left with pretty flat straight ironed hair. I usually expect to leave with some healthy bounce and volume, so I had to fix it a little at home before I went out that evening. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with the cut and color, I've gotten lots of compliments, and it has been very easy to work with at home. I plan on returning next time I need a refresh while I am living in Boston. read more

ASK FOR SONIA!!! Sonia has been my hairdresser for almost ten years. She has worked at a couple of salons in different cities since she became my stylist, but i will follow her anywhere she goes. At one point I was living 3 hours away but never hesitated to make the trip. She is a true artist when it comes to color and is always a pleasure to chat with. I see her faithfully every six weeks and have never been unhappy with the results... Sonia gives me a completely different look every time she colors my hair. I trust her so much in fact that i let her do whatever look she feels will look good at that time. She changes my look according to season and current styles. She is a true professional and I am confident to reccomend her all women of all ages. -FYI...The 10% off for rebooking at the end of every visit is a bonus too! Trust me, you'll never wanna book with anyone else anyway :) THANK YOU SONIA, FOR THE MANY YEARS OF EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! read more

I am not a person who usually writes reviews but I always like to read what others think about a place. Usually I find that people are more likely to write a negative review rather than a positive one. I had such an amazing experience at this place that I felt the need to create an account just to write a review for Anna. I recently moved to Boston and I've been trying to find a place to get my eyebrows threaded. I couldn't find much information, so I randomly chose Amaci. I have been to many many different places and I have NEVER found anyone who is this good. Anna really takes her time with your eyebrows and they end up looking impeccable. They were honestly the perfect thickness and the shape was amazing. It's pricier than what I'm used to at $18 but since my eyebrows are important to me, it's definitely worth it. Anna's also really friendly and I've been there a few times now and each time, I walk out feeling great. I can't comment on the rest of the salon, but I would definitely recommend Anna without a doubt. read more

I have followed Jaclyn around from the Merrimack valley to Boston. Amaci is a beautiful, clean and fun salon. I could not be happier with the location or Jaclyn's work as a hair stylist. Not only is she the friendliest and most fun person ever, her skill level and professionalism is far beyond any stylist that has ever cut my hair. Today was the first time I colored my "Virgin" hair... I was a bit nervous, but I trust Jaclyn with any decision I need to make when transforming my hair. I am SOO happy with the way my hair turned out. The cut and color are equally gorgeous. I never have a preference myself anymore because I put my full trust in Jaclyn..and she works miracles. If you want a personalized cut for your face shape and a color that matches your skin tone, Jaclyn is the perfect hair stylist for you. I will never let anyone else touch my hair!!!! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH Jaclyn!!! You really are a hair magician. read more

I had been getting my eyebrows waxed for years, but my skin started to become extremely sensitive and would burn every time. Needless to say I was sick of walking around with scabs under my eyebrows. I wanted to explore threading as an alternative so I took to Google. Surprisingly enough there are not many eyebrow threaders in Boston, according to Google. I found Amaci and gave it a shot. This was over a year ago and I continue to go back. Ana is AMAZING! My eyebrows are a bit coarse and she shapes them perfectly. Flawless every time! I get a number of compliments on how great they look and always credit Ana's amazing work. I live and work in Boston, but the salon location is not really convenient to either and I have no problem going out of my way for these services. They are also fabulously flexible with scheduling, which is perfect for my ever-changing schedule. All in all job well done! read more

My mom and I have been coming to Amaci for years!! Amad works magic when it comes to hair. We both have thick and heavy hair and have heard so many hair dressers complain about it! Amad has the skills and knows how to thin your hair out without chopping your hair off. We've always walked out feeling so much lighter and fresh!! I recently got balyage highlights for the first time and despite being nervous, Amad reassured me that I will love my hair by the end of it. I wasn't completely satisfied and told him, he acknowledged my concerns and stayed at the salon for an extra couple of hours to change it up... All this with a smile on. I didn't once feel guilty or burdensome and that is not common. He is patient and extremely client oriented! I am in love with my hair and highly recommend Amaci! PS. I've also gotten hair cuts with Adam and he is also wonderful!! read more

Sarah M. is the best! I have been getting my hair cut and highlighted by her for a few years now. I have VERY thick hair that takes a long time to do. Sarah is the first stylist that I found who actually takes the time to do my hair properly (sometimes 3-4 hours!), rather than rush through. She listens to exactly what I want and delivers above and beyond. I always leave the salon feeling like my hair looks so much healthier than before. She also has given me great tips and recommendations for hair care and styling at home. Since I started seeing Sarah I get a lot of questions about who colors my hair and some people even compliment it thinking it is my natural color. Beyond this Sarah and everyone else at Amaci are so friendly and welcoming and provide great service. I definitely recommend booking your next hair appointment here! read more

I walked out the door feeling polished, confident, and absolutely perfect for the occasion. My hair stayed beautifully in place throughout the evening and into the next morning for the after wedding brunch. I received so many compliments. Anita did a beautiful job with my makeup. She gave me a natural, elegant look that complemented my hair perfectly and made me feel completely put together for the wedding. I had stressed so much about my hair and makeup beforehand, and once I was in their hands, I didn't have to think about either one again. It was such a pleasure to relax and simply enjoy the day.

So so thankful shes back in the Boston area and would 10000% recommend her to anyone who's looking to get a color and cut that makes you feel truly beautiful!!

I've never had a bad cut or color, and it sounds…read morecheesy, but this salon changed my entire face shape/hair health by the products and color brands they use. I look better now in my forties than I did in my twenties. They also are great about giving tips for how to towel dry at home or combing without ripping your hair, and what shampoo/styling brands are best for what hair type. Over the years I've seen Mo, Alex, Nate, Joe, Ashleigh, and Kacey and again, I cannot stress how much I have NEVER had a bad cut or color! My two "regulars" for the past few years have been Nate for cut / color and Ashleigh for color. I love that the shop keeps your card on file with the history of what colors/styles you've had done so they can go back and review for any changes or things you want to try. I've brought my mother here who keeps her hair short and buzzed, my husband who has Asian hair, and the salon has revamped and now includes serious choices for Black extensions / 4C hair, waxing, nail art, and reiki. I truly would follow these people to the ends of the earth for how much they have improved my style and created such an inclusive and welcoming space to all. Do NOT be intimidated by the vibe here; everyone is welcome!

My appointment was moved up in the day and I was promptly seen by my stylist and I was whisked to the shampoo bowl to get started. Ash is very knowledgeable, the salon space was very clean. She used only quality tools and products on my hair. Booking an appointment is super easy and they have plenty of availability which is a plus. I'll definitely be returning. She wasn't at all judgmental and the salon is very welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. Ash is highly skilled and made the salon experience very positive.

Additionally Giovanni spent an inordinate amount of time playing with someone's dog instead of starting my haircut and didn't wash his hands beforehand either.

I absolutely love this salon and everyone that works here. I'm constantly changing my mind about…read morewhat I want to do with my hair and they're always so patient and willing to figure it out with me. One thing that keeps me coming back is that they prioritize the health of my hair. I've been to other salons where they'll just do what you ask for, even if it leaves your hair completely fried. Here, they're actually looking out for your hair in the long run. They're honest about what my hair can handle and always work with me to find a compromise that still gets me a result I love without destroying my hair in the process. I usually see Olti and he's seriously a perfectionist when it comes to cutting hair. He'll spend as much time as he needs making sure everything is exactly right, and I love that about him. Everyone else is just as amazing, from the best scalp massages to the blowouts. They're all so sweet and somehow remember little things I've told them months ago, which makes it feel so much more personal. You can really tell they care about the people who come in, not just their hair. I genuinely can't imagine going anywhere else!

His cuts are an investment price wise but I barely need to get my hair cut because he does such a great job that the cuts last. He really frames your face and gives you a cut you barely have to style. I don't even have to blow-dry my hair to have it look put together. All the celebrities who live locally come here but it's not a stuffy or snobby place in the least and Pini treats everyone with full respect and courtesy. He tries to fit you in too as quickly as he can too which is super appreciated. I can't really fully express how good he is in writing but I highly, highly recommend!

I've been to the best salons in Northboro and Worcester but no one was ever able to do exactly what I wanted for my hair. At long last, I finally found Diego's! I was a little worried at first because I couldn't commit to a four hundred dollar cut and color every six weeks but I went anyway. I read some other reviews that said Bonnie would be able to fit a person with the right stylist. I called and she answered. I told Bonnie my issues....that I have a problem with frizz and that I just wanted a colorist who could color my hair and it not have a trace of red in it. My hair is brown and it seems like everywhere I went, my hair always wound up with a red tinge to it. Bonnie said she could put me with a Master Stylist or the owner. I chose the owner. She also told me that she would have a color specialist color my hair. For the cut, it was fantastic! Nestor asked how much time I spent on my hair, realistically. Not much, I said. I wanted a cut that was great for my face shape but also something that I didn't have to fuss over. Very little product and very little styling. I can't say enough how perfect this cut was. He spent time on the texture of my hair and took into consideration that I have an issue with frizz. I didn't give him any idea of what I wanted, I told him to just give me what he thought was best and it was perfect. Just perfect. For the color, I had an appointment with Mark. He looked over my hair, not scoffing at all that my roots had grown out over two inches. He took a good amount of time looking at my natural color vs how the remaining color had faded. I told him what color I wanted and he brought out a board with color samples on it and asked me what I saw when I said I wanted 'chocolate brown'. I pointed out two similar colors and told him again that I didn't want a trace of red. Mark said that since I had "a lot going on", we should focus on getting my color how I wanted it and if I wanted highlights, we'd talk about those on my next visit once we saw how my hair faded, making sure I was happy with it. I liked it so much that I didn't even want highlights at my next appointment! It was absolutely incredible that he was able to do exactly what I wanted. Not "I like it but its not exactly what I wanted", this really was EXACTLY what I wanted. And no red at all! I can't say enough how wonderful this salon is. Nestor, Mark, Bonnie, they're my Hair Dream Team!! And....I didn't even spend half of what I thought the cost was going to be!! Incredible for Newbury Street, I'd say. So if you're trying to decide if you want to go here, stop. You want to go here!!
