Do Plus Hair Salon 140 Harvard Avenue, Boston, MA 02134

"Great location for getting your hair done. Lots of nice coffee/tea shops and restaurants nearby. Professional skills aside, the service is okay. Appointments usually required."

"Do Plus Hair Salon is my happy place. The staff is friendly, the ambiance is relaxing, and the stylists are masters at their craft. I'll never go anywhere else."

"Go ask for TT. My first perm didn’t work so I went back to TT and he thoroughly worked on a totally new look with C perm & root perm for voluminous look. I like the fact that I don’t need to do anything in the morning for my hair, but only air dry while I’m on the way work. SO CONVENIENT. Even better result than I was expecting. Highly recommend him!!"

"UPDATE October 2023: My roots grew out terribly so I came back to dye my hair brown. I booked online with Ivan, because I saw some reviews recommending him. There was a little bit of a hiccup, as he needed another stylist to help translate, so I'm not sure that they fully understood what I was looking for, so I ended up with hair that is way redder than I wanted. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're set on a very specific look, as you might leave with something entirely different. Additionally, the service they provide seems to be dependent on if you can speak Mandarin. The employee who put on my towel and cape before Ivan started was unnecessarily rough. He poked me hard in my shoulder and would grunt instead of trying to use words to direct me. I have a basic understanding of Chinese but he didn't even bother trying to communicate in a respectful manner. This was my second try here and I am definitely not returning. Review July 2023: I wanted to give it some time and thought since my visit last month to write this review, but my hair cut and coloring experience ultimately wasn't up to par with my expectations. Pros: - Easy to schedule my appointment over the phone - There was already a stylist assigned to me, so even though I showed up a bit early, they were ready for me - My stylist was friendly and asked if I was okay throughout my appointment - They have three different tiers of protection for hair coloring, and I picked the middle tier so my hair turned out healthier than previous experiences where no protection was used. - Upfront about pricing, the receptionist went through the costs with me before my appointment started Cons: - The way they bleached and colored my hair was different than what I've experienced in the past. Instead of doing two separate bleaching processes, I only sat through one bleaching session where he piled on the bleach. - The coloring process happened while I was laying with my hair in the sink (instead of the usual brushing-on at the chair), so I'm not 100% sure what products or method they used. - I asked for an ashy gray color that I previously got done at a different salon in Allston (I didn't return because they seriously damaged my hair) but the color turned out more blonde with patches of gray and light blue. The hair by my ears was also yellower than the rest of my hair. - The stylist didn't completely bleach or dye my roots, so I walked out of the salon with my black roots already evident. - I asked for a bob cut, and upon further inspection when I got home, the back is super uneven - There was another stylist who kept coming over during the appointment and talking about my hair in Mandarin (I'm assuming they didn't know I understood, since I only spoke English). He would also come over while my stylist was away, and touch my hair. It made me super uncomfortable. For the price that was paid, I'm disappointed that my hair didn't turn out the way I wanted. The gray coloring in my hair had pretty much faded within a week, which wasn't an issue with my last coloring at the other salon. I wouldn't recommend coming here for short haircuts, or if you have Asian hair and are looking to bleach it. I would consider potentially coming back for a single-process color or just a simple trim, but I'd rather consider other options first."
