    I come every 6 weeks for a cut & color. Sam does a great job listening to my requests and restrictions, and I rely on her for my pixie cut. Kate is my preferred colorist for my dark brown-to-blonde!

    The talent at this place is incredible. I didn't see one person walk out w out incredible hair. Kate does my fantastic ombré and gabi cuts an awesome beach bob.

    Elle is the best stylist ever known, I went to her when she was in Rhode Island and now I go to her at shag... Shag is probably the coolest salon I've ever seen for atmosphere..

    If you have curly hair see Elle!! She was fabulous; really knew her way around curly hair. She also had some helpful tips to get around using a ton of product (no crinkly greasy curls)! She rocks!

    If you're looking for something really edgy and funky but that still looks classy and feminine, ask for Poe.

    Did you know Shag does wedding hair? If you're the bride, ask for Liz. She will not disappoint.

    Dayna's been cutting my haircut for over a year now. She's pretty amazing. Highly recommend for a guys cut. If I was a woman I would probably say the same!

    Totally a dog friendly place. Bring your pup and let it roam while your locks get done.

    Once Elle did my hair, I vowed never to go to another salon in Boston. This place is the best!

    Jared has superpowers. F'rillz. Every time he cuts my hair, I look like I've just stepped out of a shampoo ad and I feel like I own a diamond mine.

    They prefer cash but allow you to tip on credit card which is helpful!
