I Googled McCoys Place on my iPhone so I could set up an appointment with Heather and saw the one, terrible review someone posted and felt I needed to share my opinion. I think the bad review must be from another local stylist (with no moral compass) because it seems like a total fabrication. I've had at least 3 haircuts at McCoys myself and both of my little guys have had haircuts there. Heather, the owner, is as genuinely nice, pleasant and accommodating as a business owner can get. She runs a lovely, clean, comfortable and very fairly priced (at least for men's cuts, as that's all I've gotten) barbershop / salon. The other stylists working there have always been friendly and patient when I've walked-in or made an appointment. Customers always seem pleased with the other stylists work, but I can not comment on their skills as I've only worked with Heather, but she's always done a great job! McCoys Place already seems to have a devoted following and is succeeding with professionalism, hard-work and great customer service. The customer demographic seems pretty wide. Judging from my visits to the shop, they serve a wide-range of folks; senior citizens, ladies getting higher-end services, 40-something guys like me getting clipper-cuts or trims, teenagers, college men and women, etc. They do especially well with children - I've seen many families with kids in there and the stylists have a knack for keeping the kids calm, making them feel safe and happy. Getting to sit on mommy's lap if necessary and lollipop rewards don't hurt, either! Heather took a space that had been vacant for +/- 2-years and turned it into a well-designed, tidy, attractive, conveniently located and accessible store. I'm glad to have her in my neighborhood and think she's super. I wish her continued success. Oh yeah - she also knows when to chit-chat and when to concentrate on cutting, which I find a rare quality ... if you've ever had an over-talkative stylist who screws-up your hair for not paying attention, you'll know what I mean. At any rate, don't believe the jealous hater who wrote the 1st review because it's horse-pucky. Go see Heather at McCoys Place. DF read more

This was the worst experience I have had with a haircut. First, I politely asked whether they take a credit card and was rudely shot down "Ma'am, this is a small business and we don't do that here, you have to go next door for the ATM" Fine. Told them to cut my son's hair so it didnt look like a mullet, hair didn't cover his ears anymore, and take about 1/2 inch off all around and blend it in. Not rocket science. By the time I withdrew money from the ATM next door and returned, they were magically done and they just cut straight across the back. They had the gall to charge $16 for this. I figured it would be easier to do it at home and it seemed like the place that would charge me another $16 since it could be considered "a separate haircut". Waste of money -- Bucci's in Northampton is much nicer for a child's haircut and much cheaper. In Amherst, Supercuts or any of the other shops down there do a much better job. Will never give this place another cent even if it is a "local" business. read more

I am not quite sure why the other two reviews on this page only gave this place one star. I normally don't write reviews, but felt inclined to add my opinion. I went to McCoy's a few times since they opened and even though I only get my hair trimmed, I am happy with the staff and the price. I never had a bad experience and would recommend this hair salon to other people. The owner is friendly and personable, as is the rest of the staff. I usually never get my hair cut in the US (I'm an international student from Europe and for some reason there are certain things I prefer to take care off when I'm home), but I tried this place and for the service and price, it doesn't get better than this. I like it and I am glad I found a place I feel comfortable going to. read more

The young lady at the front desk was very unhelpful when I came in to ask for an appointment. I believe she said her name was Lauren. She didn't seem to know much of anything about the basics of hair, and could not comprehend what I needed to get done. Training needs to be for everyone, even those who aren't actually working with hair. She was dressed unprofessionally, unlike every other woman I saw working there, and I could smell her poor dental hygiene. I ended up walking out without an appointment. Would be willing to give it another try, the owner seemed nice, but Lauren should be dealt with. read more

Our family had three great cuts here today. Heather the talented Owner and Stylist cut my one year old son's hair, my long hair and my boyfriends short hair. Three cuts with their own challenges and she did a great job! The prices are reasonable, the salon is brand new and beautiful and the people are very professional and pleasant. They take walk in's or appointments and are open Tues. and Wed. 9:30-5, Thursday 11-7, Friday 9:30-6 and Saturday 7-3. They are located in Sunderland next to the corner store. read more

I am very fussy and finicky about my hair and it is not easy to cut it well - Heather did a great job - consistently. I have returned several times now and I am delighted by the great haircuts she does. She listens to her clients and has the skill to do what the client asks. And at half the price I've paid elsewhere. read more

Friendly staff, men's cuts are quick, professional and reasonably priced. Family oriented and kid friendly too - our whole family goes there now. They support local communicty activities for the school. They're pretty flexible with scheduling if you call ahead even by a few hours. read more

I can't say enough good about my experience (my first one) last Saturday (12/17) at McCoy's, clearly, they care about the work they do, Heather cut my hair and was one of the warmest, nicest people I've met at any salon. Definitely going back, and definitely recommending to all! read more
