Haircuts Ltd

For a cheap, fuss-​free haircut it fits the bill. Sometimes the wait sucks but that’s true for any walk-​in-​place. I’ve only had simple haircuts but they’ve come out just fine. If I needed something special done, I’d likely go elsewhere but for regular cuts, it is good!

Was in the area and needed a haircut. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly girl. I waited MAYBE 3 minutes before Vanessa called me over. Vanessa was friendly and knew exactly what I wanted. She didn’t get scissor happy. Woke up this morning, did my hair and its PERFECT. Absolutely worth $ 17! Thank you Vanessa

Great place. The manager is very attentive to staff and customers. Not all stylists are the same so find one who you like and stay with them.

Hi. I went to the Newton location and saw Martina «Tina» who I think is also the shop manager. She did a great cut, color and a great blow dry. I do not understand why it is so hard to get a good blow dry these days but Tina did a good job. It was so smooth and sleek it looked like she used a flat iron, but she did not. I would definitely go back. Plus the prices are super reasonable!

Lisa had been there for 15 years and yet I got the worst cut of my life. I am the king of getting bad cuts because I don’t like to spend a lot, but this was the WORST. It actually got worse as it grew in.
$ 16.95 you get what you pay for.

I used to enjoy getting my haircut here, but my opinion has changed, drastically.
I needed to get a cleanup (not even a dramatic new cut — just cleaning up the ends and trimming) so I mentioned to Emma, the stylist, that I just wanted to clean up the fuzz on my neck, and some uneven sections from a previous cut. I emphasized that I DON’T want any length off the top, and just the minimum amount to even it all out. We ended up having a great conversation, and I wasn’t paying attention, but after she asked «what do you think? I just took about this much off of the top» and her fingers illustrated about 1 – 2 inches. I tried to hide my disappointment and building anger, but I just said «it’s fine» and wanted to get out of there — but it doesn’t end there.
About 2 days after my cut, I noticed a rash around my neck — just behind my ear, and around the back of where my hairline ends on my neck. As time went on, that rash turned into a series of bumps, cysts and pimples. I NEVER get any kind of breakouts or acne in that area, so I was horrified. My wife suggested I go to my dermatologist to get it checked out, and I did. The dermatologist asked if I had recently gotten my haircut, and if so, it was potentially from the use of dirty clippers/​scissors/​razor. I had to take antibiotics and use a topical antibiotic, and I am still having to use it, 2 weeks later. I haven’t had problems like this from Haircuts Ltd., but with the terrible botching of my haircut, and the subsequent infection from use of dirty shears or clippers, I will never go back here. Clean up your act, Ltd.

I’m a no-​fuss kind of girl with haircuts. I’ll take quick, cheap, and cute any day over expensive places with 5 day waiting lists and fancy names.
I decided to try out Haircuts LTD for my annual cut. The hair was lookin a little dead and funky, and I have a wedding to go to so I wanted to look at least kind of decent. That being said, I’m also not terribly attached to my hair.
I went in to the Newton location at around 7pm on Thursday. It was pretty quiet, and I was able to sit down for my cut/​blowdry within 5 minutes of walking through the door. There was a pretty differing crowd there — a few guys in suits getting a quick fix-​up, a young boy and his mom, and a few girls getting color done.
I had Jessica, who was awesome and definitely more fun than a lot of hair stylists I’ve encountered over the years. While she worked, we talked Disney movies, Canobie Lake Park, the fashion habits of 5 year old girls, and a lot of other vaguely nerdy things.
My «demands» for my haircut were: «somewhere near my chin, just a bob-​like thing.» Like I said, I’m not one for fanciness. Jessica did great. She gave me a lovely, simple bob that flatters my face fabulously and is definitely no-​fuss. She even asked about my blow drying habits. All none of them.
The cut/​blowdry was somewhere around $ 23, and I think it’s a few dollars more for longer hair. They also have a «10^th cut free» card which I hope to use in the future.
So, if you’re a no-​fuss type of gal who just wants a simple cut, I recommend Haircuts LTD. I was in and out very quickly (can’t vouch for weekend business, though), and it was a really pleasant experience. As far as basic hair services goes, I will take this place over Supercuts anyday!

My boyfriend gets his hair cut here by Katherine. She does a great job and he always looks handsome! The salon is very clean and there is usually no wait. There is also a huge parking lots with tons of places to park and great places to eat close by.

Shocantell Brown would bust all’s ova dis place, they listen to what I want. No more waiting for my hair to grow back, cuz somebody didn’t listen and thought a crew would be cute. F dat shit, OK.

Don’t go to Haircuts Ltd if you care about your health!
I went to Haircuts Ltd and got a Keratin hair treatment last week. I had done Keratin treatment twice before so I expected the same result! I was wrong! Last two times that I got the same treatment done (in a different salon) my hair became and stayed 95% straight and 100% frizz-​free for months!
After getting the treatment in Haircuts Ltd (Newton location) and following the washing instructions carefully, my hair is exactly the same as before the treatment! Curly and frizzy! not even slight improvement!
I went back to Haircuts Ltd today and showed them my frizzy hair. I was told by the manager «Tina» that the treatment they do just helps with blow-​drying and flat-​ironing the hair and that’s it!!! Meaning that with the treatment, when you flat-​iron or blow-​dry your hair’s style will last longer before next wash!!!
I spent $ 210 on this treatment so that I will not have to flat-​iron or blow dry my hair for 3 – 5 months! If I need to spend 30+ minutes on my hair daily why did I get a Keratin treatment in the first place!!! Tina, didn’t give me any explanations, no offer for any types of refund nor an offer for any free services! She basically said «That’s the way it is!»! She didn’t even tell me a simple «sorry»!
I would never go back to Haircuts Ltd ever again and I discourage anybody who cares about their health and beauty to go there! Their prices are supposedly lower than real salons but don’t waste your money there. it’s better to spend a bit more and get real hair care services!
BTW, I did some research on the Keratin product that they use in Haircuts Ltd: Global Keratin and found these facts:
1. Global Keratin is the cheapest Keratin in the market (NO WONDER!)
2. Global Keratin has more than 200% of the legal permitted limit of formaldehyde.
3. Formaldehyde is proven to cause CANCERS! even breathing the air containing formaldehyde is cancerous!
4 Global Keratin smells like strawberries, if you are in Haircuts Ltd and it smells like strawberries there, you are exposing yourself to serious diseases!

Great place for a guy to get a Cut… People are nice, place is clean, Prices are affordable.

I’ve been going here for men’s haircut for three years now. People are very nice and the price is more than reasonable. There are about 6 or 7 ladies cutting hair at the salon. Some of them are good and some of them are not that good. Tina & Terry do a good job. Sometimes it can get a little crowded on weekends. It’s better than Supercuts.

Beautiful, budget-​friendly haircuts just outside of Boston
If you are looking for a full-​service salon with valet parking that serves herbal teas and Mimosas, stop reading.
If you think paying more gives you a better outcome, this place is not for you.
If you’re looking for a fantastic, budget-​friendly haircut, see Colleen or Laura at Haircuts Ltd. in Newton Upper Falls.
Haircuts costing $ 50 and up can be had all over Boston and Metrowest but it’s the stylists experience that counts and there will be no difference except in your mood if you have paid more than necessary. Next time, try a haircut that comes to $ 20 – 25 with tip. Not only will the compliments flatter you, you’ll feel very clever for having paid so little.
HairCuts Ltd. is open 7 days a week but call ahead to make sure either stylist is available.

Price is right for a kid’s haircut and love the expansive hours and drop in service. I have taken my 9 yr old here 3 times. The first time I didn’t pay great attention — he and a friend were each getting their hair cut. After quick instructions (keep it long) the two parents went back to the waiting area. I should have sent him back for some additional snips, as it didn’t look much different than when he came in. In fairness to that stylist, it could have been faulty instructions. Lured back by the $ 11.99 prices (for kids 10 and under) my son has now gone to Svetlana twice. Once we asked for a longish haircut, which she did, but she also really cleaned it up, unlike the first stylist. This time he asked for a short summer cut. Again, I thought it was a nice job. We have never waited more than 5 — 10 minutes. Don’t know if you can request a specific person (we randomly got Svetlana — I think!). Most of the folks I saw leaving looked like they had nice neat haircuts.

If you ever want to see a place increase prices faster than inflation, check out Haircuts Ltd.
Never in my life did I see a place increase its prices for simple haircuts as much as HLTD. Considering such a huge population of Newton area guys and gals head here for simple cuts, I’m sure that they can do it. They have a lot of hair products here from Paul Mitchell to American Crew, but the tough part is finding someone who can cut your hair how you want it to be cut.
I don’t know if Beth still works here, but she used to be the only person who would cut my hair with any sort of consistency. When you’re a guy, you can tell pretty easily if your hair is uneven or poorly buzzed in the back as soon as the wind blows and I would almost always have to do some corrections to my own hair or pull a few out if Beth didn’t cut my hair. I’ve gotten some horrible haircuts here if Beth wasn’t working in the past and now that I’m in L.A., I’m happy to pay a little more for a much better cut.
They’re always really busy, but it’s definitely just a baby step up from a Supercuts.
