I like all of the stylist in the beauty shop. This is the first hair salon I have been to where I am completely comfortable with my stylist. I trust all of Patrices decisions with my hair and this is the healthiest my hair has been in 10 years. Patrice styles hair well and is excellant with hair care. If Patrice isn't available I am also comfortable going to any of the other stylist in the salon and I have. Tasha, Keisha and Sherice are amazing stylist. I will sit any of there chairs and know I am in good hands. Chaniques Beauty Salon also has a variety of products for all types of hair, which is a big deal for me. I hate when I go to a salon and they use the same product on everyones hair, to me that means you don't take the time to get to know your clients hair. I love the fact that the stylist in Chanique's take the time to learn there customers. Patrice does an excellant job with time management, I never feel like I am in there to long and the prices are great. Best Salon in Boston

I can't believe how cheap and amazing this place is. I called ahead to see what their prices were…read moregoing for and the crazy lady at the desk said $25 for a haircut. UNBEATABLE. So I went in and it was filled with old ladies getting their hair cut/permed/curled by other old ladies. My hairdresser however was younger (Named Celora, she gives amazing shampoo massages!) and she knew exactly what to do. After about 20 minutes my hair was exactly the right length and I was extremely happy. They do not take card, BUT they were more than happy to let me walk 5 mins down the street to get cash and come back. I can't believe they have that much faith in their customers! I will be coming back, even though it is an old lady salon.

Celora is the only person I will let touch my hair. But for the price, and the fact that Celora is very accomodating for me personally, I keep going back. Just don't expect them to do anything stylish or miraculous, and you'll be okay. I liken it to a Great Clips or something of the sort, only a bit more expensive.

I saw one review similar to the one I'm about to leave, so let me say DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE…read moreCURLY HAIR. The stylist I saw has curly hair herself, so I was shocked to find out over the course of my appointment that she has no idea what she's doing, including how to cut, style, or dry curly hair. I go to professionals because I expect them to be pros at what they do. I don't know everything about cutting hair. I arrived for my 10am appointment at 9:50. I sat in the waiting chair for 45 minutes and was about to leave when my stylist arrived. She did not apologize. After telling her what I wanted, which was a little layering in the back to give it some shape and to keep the length, she said she understood. As she looked through my hair, she said several times that she liked how I XYZ, which I believe were some tricks people use to make their hair more curly. I just looked at her confused. Eventually she said "this is just your natural hair?" with a slight air of disbelief. Yes. This is my natural hair. Or it was. I was told she would take "a little" weight out. She also said she wanted to keep the length. She did a dry cut and did it fast, and part way through I knew she was cutting the curls in a way that would make them curl funny, but it was a bit late. Generally, you shouldn't give curly hair three-inch wispy trailing ends. During the wet cut, she asked if I had any questions, and I said no I assume you're just cleaning it up, which she confirmed. Looking for errant long hairs. When she went to dry it, she got as much moisture out as possible, which was red flag number one. She used a tiny bit of product and put most of it on my temples, for some reason, which were crunchy later. She then used a comb to section and brush my hair straight in little pieces that she flipped over once by way of "curling" them. (Reader: this isn't how you curl hair and it's definitely not how you encourage a natural curl pattern.) She then got out the world's smallest diffuser and just pointed it at my head at strange angles while limply holding random parts of my hair (not truly cupping). My hair was unevenly half dry and totally frizzy. She sprayed hairspray under the top layer only and said I was good to go--with half-wet, frizzy, fluffy, messy hair. By the time I got home, it was just awful. Huge and fluffy and unwieldy. Couldn't really see much about the cut until I washed and actually styled and dried it an appropriate way for curly hair. When I'd washed and dried my hair and come out to the living room, my husband said, "Where'd all your hair go?" Basically, her cut ruined the curl pattern on the top layers. She thinned it out so much it looks stupid and like I'm losing my hair. I had asked for not too many layers so it wasn't disconnected from the length and I got the opposite of what I asked for. She "kept the length" only on the very bottom matters. It's also lopsided. Whole thing looks stupid and the only thing I can do is let it grow out. Also, this whole time, she was telling me stories of her recent escapades getting blackout drunk.

The stylist, Sandra, had many interesting stories to tell ... However, the haircut itself was all wrong! Although I asked for graduated, undercut layers, I called the cut "The Shelf" because there was only ONE layer. No matter how I styled it I couldn't get it to work so I wore it in a ponytail for a month straight! So I went to my old stylist in NY and she told me that there were huge gaps in the back and that it hadn't been thinned out like I'd asked. It took her an hour and a half and 3 inches all around to fix it. Long story short: If you're looking for friendly service, go here. If you're looking for a quality haircut, look elsewhere. I've got a great stylist in Rochester, NY if you need one.

He also barely looked at the photos I showed and didn't ask me any questions about my hair. I'm literally never going within a mile radius of a SportsClips again.
