Susanna is the owner and she used to work in an upscale hair salon near downtown Boston where I…read moreused to be a regular customer since almost 20 years ago. I just moved back to Everett, MA after being away from the US for 8 years. I stumbled into Top International Hair Salon since it is very close to my house but I knew nothing about this place. To my surprise, I found a familiar face! I was confident Susanna is a capable hairdresser since the place she used to work has very high standards; Susanna was not my hairdresser at the other place. So, I got my hair cut from Susanna and I was more than pleased with the result! My haircut costs $25 but it's $30 for women; they will wash your hair before and after. Well, I used to pay $40 for a haircut in Boston and I am paying less now, traveling less and getting the same quality! Oh, I always bring some photos of mine showing my hair when it was short whenever I go to a new hair salon, and I never had any issues with any new hairdressers. My hair grows really fast and I will be going back to see Susanna every 3 weeks.

This place is not the top of everything but Susanna is the best hair dresser for me. She knows what…read moreshe is doing. She knows how to cut my hair and it comes out great every time. I have been coming to get my hair cut with her for several years, never want to go someplace else. At least 4 of my close friends come here. Costs me $30 to get my hair cut. I leave one star out for the update around the shop. Other than that it's great! Parking on the street, give yourself time to find parking spot.

I first started getting my hair cut and styled by Carolina 20 years ago, and I have never once…read morestrayed. Since I typically get my hair cut monthly, she has styled my hair over 225 times. Throughout the years, we've experimented with different hairstyles--short, long, and everything in between. We've also tried various products to find what works best. Currently, I'm doing keratin treatments, and my hair is on the longer side. While I absolutely consider Carolina a friend, the main reason I continue to see her is that she is, without a doubt, the best hairstylist I have ever had. I was thrilled when she decided to take over the business formerly known as Oxigeno and rebrand it as Hola. The atmosphere at Hola, just like at Oxigeno, is warm, welcoming, and makes you feel like a valued client and friend. Carolina's new venture has maintained the same level of excellence, with many of the talented stylists from Oxigeno staying on board. I was delighted to see several familiar faces. On the rare occasions when our schedules didn't align, Carolina would recommend another stylist, and I have had my hair styled by at least three others at the salon--all of whom delivered fantastic results. As part of the rebranding, the salon underwent a makeover, and the new space is bright, inviting, and refreshing. Over the years, I've recommended Carolina and her team to countless friends, family members, and coworkers. She even cut my son's hair about 20 years ago when his regular barber in Swampscott wasn't available. If you haven't visited Hola yet, you won't be disappointed. Parking is always easy, and I've never had to wait more than five or ten minutes for my appointment--usually, I'm waved right over to my seat, and Carolina works her magic. She's a great conversationalist, and I always enjoy our chats, but I can honestly say the same about the other stylists at Hola. Warmest wishes and best of luck, my friend. Here's to the next 20 years! Fondly, Carl Christie Nahant, Massachusetts

Disappointed is an understatement. The day after I got a wash/cut/blow dry with Tricia, my scalp…read morewas so severely inflamed that it was too PAINFUL to even rest the left/backside of my head on a pillow or even turn my head because Tricia didn't fully rinse the shampoo off of my scalp before blow-drying. The painful, swollen lumps were in a line from the top of my head down to my neck (where the soap dripped down). I've never had an allergic reaction to any cosmetic product and don't have a skin condition. The first time I got a haircut with Tricia, I let her know she missed some soap suds while we were still at the sink and she just wiped it off with a dry towel. This should have been a red flag but I shrugged it off thinking she might have just had an off day and came back regardless. Big mistake. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but it's been a full week and I'm still in pain so I felt I should let others know. I wish I could say I like the trim but it's choppy and uneven. I didn't bother asking for it to be cleaned up because I didn't want to lose more length and figured it's just hair so I can get it cleaned up by another salon in a couple of months. Tricia was nice and I still tipped her well but who knew a haircut could cause so much physical pain, sleepless nights, and misery?

I asked for a short layered bob, and I LOVE how it turned out. Wash, cut, and blow dry for $38. Already looking forward to my next haircut at The Classic Hair Design. Highly recommend.
