Insider Pages Reviews for La Tete Salon
I walked in off the street to get a haircut, and I can't remember who cut my hair but she said for me the mens cut would be about 25 dollars (i only needed a small trim). The haircut was ok, not great, but the girl working the front desk was really snotty. I asked her for water but she seemed to ignore me, and I even asked a second time, but I never got any water. Later when I went to pay she said the total would be $45, and when I asked her to check with the girl who cut my hair she just blew me off. I'm not sure who that receptionist was but she had a tattoo and was really rude.

I've had more success at Supercuts
by MKeisselbach45
Really unfriendly stylists, they dont like talking to customers at all and i think theyre generally right out of beauty school since they cut my hair really badly, plus my color was uneven b/c they missed pieces of hair. The bathrooms were really nasty too, with water and hair and stuff on the ground, i dont think they clean them much.
Pros: easy to get coupons
Cons: nasty salon, not well trained, unfriendly

overpriced and unprofessional
by amy3006
I have been here about 3 times because I have gotten coupons, and all three times they butchered my hair. The first time I went the assistant was sloppy and got water everywhere when she was washing my hair, in my eyes and all down my back, and she didn't seem to care. That visit I had my hair dyed, and though I wanted to go a dark brown my hair ended up looking brassy, and when I asked if they could fix it they blew me off and said there was no time to do my hair again, and that I should call back for an appointment. I came in again just for haircuts, and both times they cut my hair uneven. They give away tons of coupons because they do a bad job and need the business, don't be fooled! their prices are wayyyy too high for the poor service they deliver
Pros: convenience of being on Newbury St.
Cons: overpriced, unprofessional staff, poor service

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
by heyheyhey711
I am in love with La Tete and have not disappointed. I have never gone for color but have been going to Melinda for a year and haven't gotten a bad cut. The people there are professional, kind, and listen to you which is the most important thing of all. The atmosphere is great and I never feel rushed, always comfortable. The price is also phenomenal esp. since it's right on Newbury St., a true gem. I highly recommend Melinda as a person and as a hair stylist, she is wonderful! My hair is not the easiest to work with and she always manages to make it work for me. I went home for a while recently and had to have my hair cut by someone else...never again!

Disappointing, unprofessional. The stylist did not give me the style or color I was looking for.

Great Color Experience
by kbon6102
I recently visited Newbury Street. I'm from Baltimore, MD and was here visiting friends. My hair was a mess the color was unthinkable and the first thing I wanted to do was go to a Newbury Street Salon after hearing all the hype. The experience was the best I've had in a long time. The color was outstanding. I was not planning on having my hair cut, but I was so comfortable with my stylist (Melinda) that I went all out and I'm so glad I did because I LOVE IT!!! Everyone there made me so comfortable and the staff interacted well with all their clients. I didn't feel out of place at all, even the other clients interacted with me. I can't wait to come back to visit my friends and my new Favorite Salon LATETE. My expectations of a Newbury Street Salon were all meet 10 fold.
Pros: Staff, Friendly Clients, Great Atmosphere
Cons: I Live in Baltimore

Not recommended!! Awful
by bellabrianna
I went to a couple of people who work there. Both were awful. Not only was the color way off, but the cut was disgusting and not what I asked for. The staff are all very boring and should go back to beauty school. Overall, both times were an awful experience!
Cons: expensive, staff is awful
