MK the Hair Studio

Great hair cut and highlights with Ashley at a reasonable price! Paid less than $ 150 with a tip. I have found cheaper, but they were definitely cheaper for a reason. It’s by far worth the extra $ 20 – 40 for an actual straight, well styled hair cut and beautiful highlights. A keeper!

Tammy is outstanding not only as a person but also in what she is doing. She has been my hairdresser/​stylist since 2008. For family reasons, I had to move to Switzerland for four years and I couldn’t wait to get back to her. Going to a hairdresser is for me like going to a checkup with an OBGYN or the dentist. I hate it. However, she knows what she is doing and she is brilliant at it. I don’t let anyone else touch my hair again. Thank YOU Tammy for the amazing jobs you do!

I came in here a month or two ago to get highlights and a trim. I have always been loyal to my hair dresser back home and searched for nearly a decade for a stylist up in Boston who does as good as a job. Tammy actually did a better job and charged a fraction of the price! I received so many compliments about my hair, I will definitely be back ASAP!

Tammy is the best! I have been going to her for almost 6 years now and she always does an awesome job with my hair, which is curly/​thick. I go here for cuts only and it is definitely very reasonably priced. And as others have mentioned, Tammy is fun to talk to and makes the whole experience enjoyable!

I have been going to Tammy now for about 2 years and she is the most predicable person who cut my hair ever since I do get my hiar cut. I never have to say anything, Tammy just starts cutting and it always looks as good as last time. It also doesn’t require the usual week of adjustment. In addition to her qualities as a hair dresser, Tammy is alos wicked funny and authentic. I always enjoy going there… Recommend.

Tammy has done my hair for 4 years and I won’t let anyone else touch it. I’ve sent dozens of friends and strangers to her, and they’ve all been thrilled with her work. She is so thorough that people will think your hair has just been styled as it grows out. I have curly/​straight hair, so a friend recommended Tammy and I’m so thankful!
The idea of ever living in another city and not having Tammy do my hair is scary!
Oh and not to mention she is WAY under priced for the quality of service in the Boston area.

Update: my fears came true when I moved to Houston in 2012 – 2013. I never found someone who could cut my hair as well as Tammy. I’m SOOO glad I moved back to Boston and can reclaim my stylist. She really does great work and is super fun to be around.

I have been going to Tammy for about 4 years now, and she does a fantastic job every time, for much, much less than one might pay on a more fashionable street. I go here for cuts ($ 30) and chemical straightening (my first foray into high-​maintenance hair styling– $ 100) .
I have thick, somewhat-​kinky-​but-​not-​curly hair, and after years of hairdressers who didn’t bother to look at it before soaking it and cutting it as if it were normal hair, I was thrilled to walk into an unpretentious neighborhood salon and have Tammy listen to me explain my hair «problems» and figure out how to solve them. These are not stylists imposing their agenda on you, nor are they opinion-​less hairdressers that will do whatever you ask if they know it won’t work.
Were I to move away from Cambridge, I would probably schedule hair appointments at MK any time I visited the area.

I’ve been here a few times to get my haircut by Tammy. She does a pretty good job with the cut, but is really rough with the wash and blow dry part. Be prepared for a lot of tugging on your hair and red scalp! At least your hair will look good at the end. There are always a few other girls in there just hanging out and not really doing anything, I’m not sure why they’re there, but they’re a little distracting. Don’t forget to bring cash cause they don’t take credit cards.

You wouldn’t know it from walking past it, or looking in it, but this salon has given me the best haircuts that I have ever had. The ladies there know hair. I have VERY thick hair that is of mixed consistency, and it’s difficult for me to find stylists who will actually look at my hair and truthfully tell me whether a haircut will work for my hair or not. It always looks good the next day, too! I have never had my hair colored there, but one of my friends gets highlights and colorings done frequently, and it always looks great. Better yet, the price is right! For my tons of hair, it’s only $ 30. This is not a chi-​chi place with trite hip-​looking stylists, but these ladies know hair and won’t charge you up the a** for their services.

My first and only visit to this business was to stop in and get my bangs trimmed. I nicely explained to the hair stylist (who I took to be the older proprietor) how I would like them done, because the last time I had them trimmed I wasn’t happy with the way they grew in. She proceeded to ignore me and the moment she snipped her scissors I knew I had made a mistake. Not only did her hands (which were close to my face) smell like cigarettes, my bangs ended up incredibly uneven, with weird short layers on top, and she didn’t even cut sections of them. I spent more time at home trying to correct her mistakes than she spent on trimming them in the first place. Because it was fairly dim in the shop, and she didn’t finish blow-​drying my hair so I could see how uneven the cut was, I didn’t complain at the time. I am certainly not going back to get someone else to try and fix them. I am happy that it only cost $ 5, very sad that I tipped her $ 5 (I was in a generous holiday mood I guess). I’m almost embarrassed to go out because my bangs look terrible. I do not recommend going here under any circumstances.
