I came to Judy Jetson a year ago when I needed to get a hair cut. Kristin has become my go-to girl. She's given me consistently great hair cuts, and she was even down to do my hair for my wedding. Kayla, Rachel, and Emily also did my sister and two teen cousin's hair for the wedding and they were great. None of my family lives in the area so they were all meeting for the first time day of and all the stylists made them feel so welcome and gave them the styles that they'd hoped for. They all looked so good! I don't yet have photos of them but I have my sisters big disco-waves in progress. She showed them a picture of Barbie in the opening dance number and Emily delivered. All of these haircuts, wedding hair trials, and wedding day events were coordinated by Justin who is a dream to work with and made everything go so smoothly. Love this salon, will keep coming back! read more

I've been getting my hair done by Kristin for 3 years now. Not only is she so talented, she's so kind and fun and sweet to chat with. She recently did balayage on my hair and I didn't like it at first (because I didn't communicate what I wanted and was being stupid not her fault at all) and she fixed it the very next day and it's totally perfect. She listens really well, has amazing music taste (shoutout to your playlist) and is overall so awesome. Thank you so much Kristin!! read more

i made a simple mistake of putting the time of my appointment in my calendar wrong, and as soon as i realized i called the salon to let them know and tried to work with them to either see if i could come 15 minutes late to my appointment or rebook for another time. the receptionist was super rude and backhanded in the way he talked to me, insinuating i was wasting everyone's time. i've been here at least twice before, and the lack of grace and flexibility for a returning customer is super disappointing. the 100% cancellation fee also feels like a scam, but i was more upset over the way i was spoken to over the phone. i'll absolutely never be returning, but the receptionist didn't seem to care at all. this is a business that does not prioritize service or client relationships, and it's apparent. the quality of the haircuts i've gotten in the past have been very mediocre as well, so i would caution new customers to avoid at all costs. read more

I came into Judy Jetson for a partial balayage with Maddie. Maddie has been doing my hair for a few years now and every time I am so pleased with the result. She even sent me off with a glamorous blowout! This was my first time at this salon - the staff were all so friendly and accommodating, and the salon itself has really cool and unique décor. I recommend getting to the salon early because parking can be a little tricky. read more

Love, love, love!!! Kayleigh was my stylist, and she was congenial and very skilled. I love the hip ambience of the salon, and that they are open on Sundays. Some people seem bothered by having to sign off on a few policies. I think it's very efficient, and a good way to run a business which is exactly what it is. read more

Rachel did an amazing job with both my cut and balayage! Asked for a caramel tone and she delivered. Super happy with the results and will absolutely be back. read more

Got a solid haircut here - 1st one in Boston. My stylist (whose name I cannot, for the life of me, remember) listened carefully & made adjustments as requested. I'm nonbinary & my short cut can be challenging d/t some rowdy cowlicks, but he did great! read more

I got an incredible haircut with Feri. She is a talented stylist and understood exactly what I wanted. I am thrilled with how it turned out. The salon takes excellent safety precautions with covid. Major social distancing, sanitizing, and barriers. I felt very safe going there. read more

Anya should provide time and effort into her service as a stylist. Roughly 5-minutes is what it took her to ruin my teenagers hair just before school starts. They asked for length on the top, long in the back and short on the sides - think David Bowie Ziggy Stardust. Anya obviously didn't care or know how to cut this hairstyle. She could not have possibly listened to what was asked for or look at the reference pictures provided. 5 minutes later with only 2 inches left all over my teenager running off in tears. The original hair length was long, 5 inches past the shoulders. Anya why didn't you perform your job as a stylist? read more

If you want The Rachel™ go to Anya!!! Also noting my husband has been going to Carmi for over a decade and he always looks smokin hot when he comes home! It's an amazing salon with lovely, talented people! read more

This salon has catered to the styling needs of the punk crowd since actual punks were still teenagers. Try to remember that when you read bad reviews from the soccer moms and clueless youth. My hair is fine, wavy (2A for those in the know) and naturally blonde on its way to becoming white. I've been going to Carmi for several years now, and my hair always looks great when I leave and each cut has had longevity, i.e. it still has style several weeks later. I've gone from super-short pixie to longish shoulder length, and I've dyed my hair various shades of blonde, blue, and pink. I've always liked my hair. We chat about tattoos, junk TV shows, and myriad expressions of pop culture. No awkward small talk. I like the atmosphere here; it's cool and retro with no BS. If you want a massage, elevator music, beige minimalist decor, or ass-kissing, go to a spa. If you want to interact with interesting humans and get a great do, JJ is second to none. The salon has a strict policy about no tipping on cards and charges for no-show appointments. JJ is on Mass Ave. in Cambridge between two universities in a hectic part of Porter Square. People, figure it out; if you are late, you eff up everything. Deal with it. This level of adulting is doable. The prices are different per stylist, so ask if you don't know. Their webpage is wonky, so def call and ask. The more senior staff charge more. If you want a cut from the owner, Judy, yes, you will pay more. I can 100% guarantee you that bad reviews of this place come from The Privileged People who expect a plush interior (not a punk aesthetic), free massages (not a spa!) and witchcraft instead of a haircut. If a stylist does "whatever I tell them to" without any input, i get nervous. I need someone to tell me when I'm asking for the impossible. Accept reality as your personal savior. read more

Judy Jetson - Blue roots, blonde ends. - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Just had my third haircut from Kristen, and I couldn't be more in love. She is consistent, super detail oriented, & very talented. My hair type is thick & naturally curly, but I blowdry it straight, & I have had decades of bad haircuts from other stylists. Kristin gets it right EVERY TIME & goes in to make the most gorgeous bouncy layers that get me so many compliments. She has really good instincts about when to texturize hair, when to use specific cutting angles to balance volume & weight, etc. She really is a fantastic hairdresser, & if you are lucky enough to get booked with her, you will definitely see what I mean! read more

The stylists here can execute on any Instagram-inspo, with ease. I started with brown hair and Anya was able to get me to the pictures below. She's amazing. I've been there twice so far. With my next appointment this Saturday, I'm combing through Insta to see what crazy thing to do next! Before this, I'd never been able to dye or bleach my hair and keep it because the curls would fall out after the hair was too damaged. (Even in the fanciest, curl-friendly salons I could find) Service wise, Judy Jetsons doesn't spare on the self-serve tea, coffee, or hot cocoa read more

Everyone at Judy Jetson is great, but Carmi is phenomenal. She is really great at helping you find just the right cut, and her color work is fun and playful! I've never seen her give a bad cut, but more than that, she's just a really kind and funny person. Getting an haircut with Carmi is always a great experience, and I always leave feeling like a million bucks! read more

Poor customer service. Called to inform I would be late and they said they were charging me a $40 cancellation fee and I would have to reschedule! Things happen, and not being flexible makes you lose customers. I had a haircut here before and it went ok, but I won't be back. read more

Anya saved my hair! Tbh I've been upset with my hair for months due to a bad haircut prior to Covid, and then an even worse one mid-Covid. Fast-forward to this month. I finally grew out my hair to a length worth working with. I didn't have quite enough to match my inspiration photos, but Anya made it work. She was an expert at working with my wavy, frizzy hair, doing the final cut once my hair had dried under the hood. She made sure that I wouldn't have to straighten or blow dry it to make it look good. read more

Came in for a last minute wash and blow dry and Will saved the day! He did an amazing job on my hair and was super kind and professional. Will definitely come back and see him!!! read more

Anya is a hair wizard. She took my damaged bleach blonde hair and turned it into a gorgeous very natural looking medium blonde that looks like it is growing out of my scalp. The last two hairdressers I went to burned my scalp and caused a ton of breakage. My hair honestly feels better now than when I came in. Anya took such good care of my hair. She used oleplex in everything to keep my hair in good condition. Anya is a savior for people who have damaged hair but want expensive looking blonde hair. read more

This review is for the salon, not my stylist, whom I love. Carmi is awesome and I'd give her 5 stars. My hair is difficult and for years now, I've been getting cuts that make it manageable, thanks to Carmi. She's a great conversationalist and she loves Pee Wee Herman, which just gets her extra points in my book. I have put up with a lot of things from this salon over the years that have made me uneasy--surprise price hikes, religious decor that I found to be a bit much, the annoying "no tipping on credit cards" policy that frequently had me going out of my way for an extra ATM trip, and the trademark rudeness mentioned in other reviews--but last week was the last straw for me. I was approaching the end of my maternity leave and badly needed to cut my too-long and too-thick hair. I booked an appointment as usual and arrived right on time with my 11-week-old baby. He was sound asleep. The receptionist looked at him with so much disgust it was as if I'd wheeled poop into the salon. She told me they couldn't have children on the floor due to liability issues--chemicals, scissors, etc. I said this was news to me and my stylist graciously moved her supplies over to a different station so the stroller could be parked out of the way. I got my hair cut but was upset the entire time, unlike my son, who literally slept for the duration of the appointment and caused no trouble at all. 1) how exactly was baby going to get in contact with scissors and chemicals while sitting strapped into the stroller, or even in my arms? He can't even get his own hands to his face yet. 2) I checked their website afterward and there is no "no child" policy, nor is there a "no stroller" policy. 3) I asked other moms in the area, lots of them, both face to face and via Facebook, if this was a common policy at hair salons and got a resounding "nope, never heard of it, and in fact my salon is excited when I bring my baby in." 4) some of these moms even said they'd seen babies at Judy Jetson before, so if they truly have his lame and unfriendly policy, they aren't even consistent about it. I was never cool enough for you, Judy Jetson--I've always known that. But stupidly i kept giving you my money anyhow. Never again. Nobody will treat me or my child like that and get away with it. read more

I had my haircut at this salon today and while the stylist was fine and the cut was too (just a trim), I'm bummed at the price I had to pay for it. I made the appointment somewhat spontaneously in the hopes of having a fresh cut for a trip I'm leaving for tomorrow. I wanted to make it as quick an errand as possible​ and asked my stylist not to shampoo or dry my hair. My hair is pretty straightforward: wavy, bob length, medium thickness. My stylist wet my hair and had me sit for about ten minutes, maybe less? She gave me a towel so I could dry it myself before leaving. All in all, it cost me $65. So, here's the moral of the story. Check their prices first--they differ depending on stylist--and maybe don't book your appointment​ while walking your dog in a downpour. P.S. Prices are only viewable on their desktop site. Their mobile version's UI is different (not as user-friendly​, but hey, it's a hair salon) and prices are a no-go there. P.P.S. DAMNIT, JUDY! read more

Got my hair cut by Carmi at Judy Jetson today. Yup, another happy Carmi customer!!! She made sure we talked about what I wanted and what was going on with my hair now. I showed her photos and she did it!! I swear this is the first time I got a hair cut I was happy with and did not have to adjust and re-cut myself when I got home!!! Thank you Carmi!! She is also very sweet! read more

Carmi is a genius! I came to her for corrective color for long hair that had been really over-processed, and she revived it and gave me the loveliest color with subtle and bewitching violet highlights. My hair is soft, bouncy, and in amazing condition. She is magnificently talented, really knows her craft, and I highly recommend her services! I'm smoking hot! I truly thought my hair was too fried to be saved, and she saved it! read more

The only bad thing about this salon is I didn't discover it til my last year in Cambridge/Boston!! I've had karmi and Maureen for cut and color, and both did a beautiful job! The vibe/decor is great, staff is friendly, and prices are average of what you would expect from a high quality place. I made sure to come back before I leave Cambridge forever and I'm so sad I can't predict when I can next visit for an update. read more

This review is for Linda ~~~ I have short peroxide blonde hair that has to be bleached and toned constantly to look somewhat decent. I have always kind of looked like a treasure troll until I met Linda! Hallelujah!!!! This woman is a legendary hair genius. I have been seeing her for a while and my hair is longer and feels like real hair again (it used to feel like straw). Linda can bring dead hair back to life I kid you not. After my last cut and color I had some serious swag (always important for a single gal). If you're looking for a magical transformation ask for Linda! read more

Judy Jetson - Love my hair!! Thx Linda! - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

What they charge in person is different from what they quote online; and I was informed in a call from the salon owner Judy that the bottom of their website says "prices are subject to change." Keep that in mind when booking! They didn't intend to charge me more than I was expecting, but they also weren't forthcoming about the pricing, so I had to switch last minute to a different stylist that was in my price range. Despite that confusion, Anya did a great job cutting my hair and I will be back - assuming the prices don't change again ;) read more

Linda is the absolute greatest!! I had been struggling with my hair (a short pixie cut) since I had to leave my last long-term stylist due to commute distance - I hadn't found someone who both knew how to cut a good pixie as well as was determined to make sure their clients walked out of the salon happy. I found both of these in Linda! Linda exclusively cuts short hair, and she really knows what she is doing. Right when I sat down in her chair, she could tell I was unhappy with my hair. She had me explain to her exactly what I didn't like, and then she spent a while just combing around in my hair, getting a sense of it and of the last cut I had, and seeing what she could do. I don't remember the last time a stylist spent so much time just looking at my hair before washing it! During the cut I was so happy to chat with Linda - she is a great conversationalist and made the time pass super quickly. She is fun, funny, and witty. After cutting my hair, she made sure that I was satisfied with it before I left the salon - including re-touching the cut three times to make it more like the style that I wanted but had a hard time expressing. She never got frustrated by my asking for something a little different, and was happy to change a few small things to get the style I wanted. By the end, it was as if she had read my mind and gave me the exact cut that I wanted, and I was so happy and felt so great! For anyone with short hair, Linda is the best! She really is an artist, and she made me feel fantastic. 10/10 would recommend this fantastic stylist! read more

I made a last minute appointment for an updo with Alexis. I rolled into the appointment 20 minutes early because I realized that we would have very little time: I needed to leave promptly after 1 hour in order to make it to my friend's wedding. Alexis was amazing! She was totally chill about it and started my appointment early. She looked at a few photos from an album on pinterest and immediately got what I was looking for. She created a beautiful, elaborate updo with braids and a bun that lasted the whole evening. She was super careful with the bobby pins to make sure I'd be comfortable wearing them the whole night. I felt like a princess! read more

Really love my haircut from Carmie!! I will be returning : Update: I freaking love my color job that Carmie did. I've been getting so many compliments on it and I feel really confident with how I look. This is the happiest I've been with my hair I in a long time. Thank you!! read more

I was lucky enough to wander in here and get a walk-in appointment. I had Jen as my hairdresser and she was amazing! Friendly, and asked plenty of good questions about what I wanted. She was also happy to help me figure out how to care for my hair in the future. The overall hip vibe combined with the great service means I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I had a really great experience getting a last minute appointment for a haircut. My idea was kind of vague but my stylist knocked it out of the park. I like how obviously queer-friendly this place is. It's definitely not cheap but it is worth it! read more

So I've been going to Judy Jetson ever since I decided to start being a real adult and commit to a single salon aka about a year and a half. I originally chose it because of it's convenient location but kept going because I really enjoyed both the atmosphere of Judy Jetson and found an awesome stylist, Cate. Cate has done it all- from a beautiful balayage to helping me through the awkward process of growing out my bangs. I'm usually not the best at describing exactly what I want but she has always done a spectacular job despite my own communication shortcomings. Just remember to bring cash for tips! This has tripped me up a couple times and resulted in me running to an ATM and back after my appointment, but at least my hair looked great doing it! read more

Judy Jetson - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I called them to ask if a walk in was ok and they said they had availabilities. They proceeded to ask me for my name and number. Next thing you know they are informing me about a cancellation policy and asking for my credit card info. Not only is this rude but it is also very scammy. I didn't even want an appointment in the first place. Yep, this ain't it fam. read more

I #$@#$ hate this place and this is a long story. The decor is kitschy fun, the location is great, the stylists are mediocre, and the owner is a heinous bitch who made me cry once, and it's really hard to make me cry. Breaking my big toe didn't even make me cry, neither did breaking my nose for that matter. But the owner, man she turned me into a puddle of humiliation. I went there a few years ago (while my regular stylist from Liquid was on vacation) to get a few lowlights put in my hair (I was tired of being uber blonde and wanted a couple chunky streaks to mix it up a bit) and when the stylist (whose name I cannot remember) was done, my hair was predominantly mousy brown with a few teeny tiny blonde streaks in it that barely showed. It looked like something I could've done at home with a bottle of Clairol and a cap. It was -terrible- both in execution and in how it was the complete opposite of what I had explained in excruciating detail. I'd even brought pictures. The stylist, to his credit, looked horrified when the foils came out and my hair was unveiled. He tried to throw in a few more blonde streaks afterwards, however my hair was so fried and the dye they used was so harsh that they fell out. That's not the worst part, the worst part was the exchange I had with the owner afterwards when I tried to refuse to pay until my hair was fixed, and I swear, with no exaggeration that this is the exchange that happened (I wrote about it in some other boston hair community when it happened which is why I have it down pretty much verbatim): ME: This totally isn't what i asked for, and I feel like i was very succinct in my description of what i wanted when I spoke to you on the phone when scheduling the appointment, which was a few low lights mixed into my already blonde hair. Now my hair is over-processed and the blonde streaks added to try to cover up the dark brown are falling out and breaking. HER: That is your fault for not being descriptive in what you wanted, I don't even know what "low lights" are. Pay for your hair now, and then come back in and we will fix it next week. ME: I'd rather pay for this after it has been fixed and i am satisfied. I'm also not sure that I trust getting my hair redone here considering how bad this came out. That doesn't seem like the best way to resolve this situation. HER: NO, your job isn't to tell me what to do, it's to sit down, shut the fuck up, and get your hair done. ME: .....gets all teary..pays $80 and runs out the door, waits for regular stylist to come back from vacation to get it fixed. -------------------------------------------------- Now, you tell me, what kind of owner of an establishment tells a client who is dissatisfied with their hair to "shut the fuck up" in front of other patrons in her salon? So yeah. I've only ever very rarely seen a good cut or color come out of that place and even here I feel I'm being generous...If you want a similar funky looking place that's actually fun and in the same price range and not bastards to their clients, go to Liquid instead. read more

I visited Judy Jetson because I work nearby and had always heard good thing, I was bored w/ my hair and wanted something a little more hip. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and my hairdresser Derrick couldn't have been nicer. He listened to what I wanted and gave me a cut I absolutely love! read more

I did not get my haircut here, my girlfriend did. but since I am the one who gets stuck looking at her ugly haircut & since *I* am the one stuck listening to her relentlessly bitch about it, I am reviewing it anyway. I wish I could give this place zero stars! she encouraged me to write this on her behalf, starting with "tell anyone with asian hair NOT to go here!" which quickly degenerated into "if I ever see the girl who gave me this ugly haircut again I'm gonna make her eat my fist!" in other words, she was very unhappy with her haircut from judy jetsons. now, perhaps my well-meaning yet often disaster-proned gf is partly to blame for going there unchaperoned- at least I would have been careful to give detailed instructions. I also would have counseled her not to pay the exorbitant price they charged for the massacre. nevertheless, I was amazed by the extent to which a "professional" hair stylist could totally bungle such a basic cut. I easily could have done a better job myself! now I am stuck looking at this mess on her head for the next few months until it grows out. its a good thing she's so pretty! of course I think she looks cute no matter what. ...but this really pushed & tested the limits of "no matter what." read more

I used to know this girl who always had the best hair. I asked her where she got it done and she got id done by some guy here. I had heard a lot of great things about him in particular and the salon it's self. I went to him and he spent the whole time talking to his co-workers and totally, I mean TOTALLY messed up my hair. at least 6-8 inches were cut off when they were not supposed to be. Thank god for the Brook's right across the street. I picked up about $60 worth of new products and hair accouterments to try and salvage the mess I had. Everyone still talks about my 'worst hair cut ever'. t was Awful! read more

I have got haircuts at Judy Jetson for over a year now, and have finally decided to call it quits. My hairdresser Jenn does a decent job, and so my spouse also got her haircut a couple of times from her. However, the last time we were there, we were treated very rudely. We were informed by phone that Jenn would be late by 15 minutes. This eventually became a tardiness of over 30 minutes. There was no profuse apology but just a basic 'thanks for waiting,' which was neither polite nor professional. This triggered our decision to finally stop going there owing to their general impolite behavior that we have been tolerating for a long time. The place is very close to where we work, and hence was very convenient. Besides, 'Autostraddle' (the LGBT magazine) also recommended it. However, the ambience created by the stylists, especially the receptionist, (Sharon I think is her name) has consistently been a very unwelcoming one. Of course, the place gets its loyal customers, who have been going there for years, but if being a regular customer for over a year does not make one 'familiar,' then it will never be so. Add to that the fact that I have short hair that I get cut every 3-4 weeks. I am certain that our decision to stop going to Judy Jetson will not be a giant loss for the business but 'caveat emptor.' read more

I went here last August after meeting three consecutive curly-haired women who had gotten a great cute from Linda C. Being curly-haired, I decided to go for it, although I had also heard the place was a bit intimidating. Let me start by saying that the haircut was OK. She didn't ruin my life or anything. But she also didn't really listen to what I wanted it (cut off several inches, take some weight off the back - instead she gave me the same haircut I already had, with some shorter bits in front and more layers). Right after that haircut I went to Greece and being of Mediterranean descent, I have to say my hair looked excellent in that climate! But once I got back to Boston, it poofed out and looked like a rectangle of frizz on my head. This doesn't happen if the cut is good. So - the cut was OK, but needed as much managing as the previous, unsatisfactory cut I had received. But what brings the rating down here is the fact that Linda C is completely bat$^!t crazy. She terrified me and was rude, strange, loud, crass and most importantly *not listening to me* the entire time. When I tried to talk to her she ignored me, but when I tried to read she chided me for not entertaining her. ?? There was a piece of hair sitting in my eye and when I went to move it she said "I know what you're thinking! You think this haircut's going to turn out bad!" I wasn't before but I am now, thanks. I just felt like I was being judged the entire time I was there, when all I wanted was a haircut. I am a travel agent and to that end always treat other service people with courtesy and humor, and was simply stunned at how unwelcoming everyone was at Judy Jetson. I didn't expect any ass-kissing but I did expect an objective interest in my hair. And so the search continues for someone who can cut curly hair... read more

It may be the beer talking Judy, but you've got a butt that won't quit. They've got those big chewy pretzels here they're all blthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh $45 DOLLARS FOR A HAIRCUT!! GET OUTA HERE!!!! read more

Starting off, I feel bad even writing this negative review because I spoke with my stylist, David, at length about nasty, bitchy reviews and how people can be cruel on Yelp. That being said, I did not come out of Judy Jetson's with a haircut I liked. So....i'll try not to be bitchy. I received fantastic customer service from the receptionist, who even gave me an umbrella to go put more quarters on my meter and it was pouring rain. Super nice. David was also super nice. I showed him a very specific photo of the haircut I wanted, to which he said he "hated it". (Hey, I can appreciate honesty, but....) His personality, though sweet, is NOT for everyone. I'm sure he dials it down for conservative seeming people, but there must have been an invisible sign on my head that said "THIS CHICK IS SUPER OPEN MINDED AND OKAY WITH VULGARITY" While I am in fact super open minded, I could have used a little less conversation about pot and blow jobs. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination. Back to the haircut. I showed David a very specific (360 degree view) photo. (Graduated, angled bob.) And while the front looks perfect, the back was a hot mess-choppy, super blunt, uneven, and wayyy shorter than what I asked. Now that it's a few weeks later, I am tolerating it, but when I got home after my hair appointment I said to myself "Sweet Jesus I look like Kate Gosselin...." I can live with it, but it was significantly different than what I asked for and the photo showed. I was hoping Judy Jetson would be my new go-to salon since it's right near my school but....probably not. read more
