Kalai Hairstyle — Local services in Boston

I read about their services on Yelp while looking for a hairstylist. I wear my hair in a modified crew cut and usually cut my own hair. I walked to the salon on Saturday afternoon around 1500 and there were two-three people waiting. The gentleman greeted me when I came in and I took a seat. This is a throwback to an earlier time where you can actually sit and relax. There were men and women getting their haircuts and I noticed the care they took on each cut. Both of the owners speak English and there was no issue when I sat down in his chair for my cut. He is SKILLED!!! This is one of the best haircuts I have had in some time (certainly much better than my self-cut)!! He spent approximately 20 minutes on my cut and was meticulous with the details. When he was finished I could feel that this was a quality job. The prices are a throwback as well - $20, all in, for me. I cannot express how pleased I am with their services and will now be a loyal customer! If you are looking for quality and value, as well as supporting local business, this is the place for you. Please remember this is walk-in, cash only. You will not be...

*NOTE: CASH ONLY! * Also this review is from a guy's perspective. While I'm sure they're awesome as hair stylists for women, I've never seen anyone here below the age of 50 get their hair styled in all the years I've been coming here so keep that in mind ladies! I've been coming here for my haircut for at least the past 8 years. If there's in the thing I value is consistency and boy are they consistent! I don't think I've ever had a bad haircut here. It's reassuring and be able to just plop down in the chair and have them do their thing without any input from me (aside from the occasional check on how short I want my hair). Both the lady and the dude are fantastic at their craft and the place us super affordable at $12 for a guy's haircut (don't forget to tip!). This place is very much no frills but is still kept tidy!

If you're looking for a haircut and are in the area...

No idea how this place is 4.5 stars should be 1-2 stars. Perfectly good place to go if you have short hair and dont need anything crazy. I personally part my hair in the middle and like to leave the top longer and my sides shorter. The wife was the one that cut my hair and had zero interest in what I wanted. I simply asked her to cut the top of my hair 1-2 cm in length and to clean up the sides. She seemed annoyed that I was requesting how I wanted my hair done and proceeded to go completely off script. The husband, on the other hand, had a horrible attitude and proceeded to yell at me when I tried clarifying with her about how to cut my hair, almost trying to indimidate me. Would not come here again. Hope the couple fixes their attitudes and the dirty fish tanks...
