Labarberia Remix

I’m writing this review without ever actually experiencing the services at La Barberia, as I have been unable to reach anyone or get a return call to schedule an appointment. I’ve called a few times during hours they are supposedly open, and the voicemail does say to leave a message so I’ve left two, but… nada. Just wanted to see if it was any good for a manicure, and my schedule’s pretty tight so I haven’t been able to just walk in and see if they can take me, so I guess I’ll never know :(

The people are amazing here. Tiara cuts my hair better than anyone –ever. My son and I also got great shaves from the guys. Service is phenomenal. I enjoy the staff and the quality of their work.
Remember to TIP your set server!!!

The employees here are super friendly. I’d definitely go back. I went in for a manicure and it didn’t take long. Not too pricey either!

I love this place. I go to Tiara for haircuts and she has never let me down. She will take as much time as she needs to satisfy herself that my hair is perfect. She remembers what she’s done before, even though I go like 6 months between visits, and really listens and gives me exactly what I want. She also offers to have me come in if I’m ever unhappy and want her to fix something. Though, I’ve never done that because it always turns out so well!
The salon has student pricing on certain days, and often have appointments on the same day you call. Everyone inside seems very friendly and the prices are reasonable for what you receive. They also don’t push their products, which is a trait I hate in salons. The location is super convenient to campus. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

I always visit La Barbaria Express, not just because it’s the closest salon to my home, but because the folks there are so nice and accommodating. They keep a record of my preferred hair coloring, so they’ll get it right no matter who is dying me. I’m not a student, but I’ve noticed they usually have specials aimed towards them, such as discounted hair cuts on (I *THINK*) Mondays and sales on bikini– and sandal-​weather related procedures just before summer break. They take walk-​ins, but for your own benefit, make an appointment well in advance (either over the phone or on line) because there ARE plenty of people who like this place. FYI, some of those people I’ve seen are guys getting their hair cut and/​or their beards trimmed, so dudes should feel comfy there as well.

here to start with my «experience» at this salon. Okay, deep breath, here goes:
Unilocaled this place, my stylist was Leah, she seemed pretty nice and was the first salon to have a same day opening – should’ve known there. I had seriously overprocessed hair and needed a fresh start, and told her I wanted to chop about 7 in off, and I wanted a pseudo asymmetrical bob, longer in front, shorter in back, and bangs. I also wanted a dye, dark brown with some BRIGHT red chunks in front. I even specified the type of dye-​Prevana, because my old stylist back home used it and it was über bright and lasted.
She assured me she could get the same result without lightening and with Revlon. She was wrong. She charged me an extra $ 35 for seriously, a few strands (and it washed out after 1 wash). Oh and she double booked, so I got to sit there for an hour while my dye worked its way (did I mention they have no dryers?!) Anyways, the cut itself wasn’t bad, and I was originally pretty happy. It took a few hours, which reminds me-​theres 2-​hour max metered parking. I asked a few times about getting up to go put more money in, and she ASSURED me, repeatedly, that it would be fine, that its only until 4 (she was wrong again).
I paid $ 130 for my hair, with tip, got to my car and realized lo and behold, I had a parking ticket. Which brings the cost to $ 160. Don’t lie to me, I wouldve had no problem putting in more change! I specifically asked because I didnt want a ticket, ahh! anyways. Then I get in the car and look at my hair again, and realize there was very little of the red highlights, and it wasnt bright, AND it was uneven. So was my hair. I called her two days later (I had finals or I wouldve sooner) and told her everything, and that I wanted her to fix my hair. Rescheduled for my next day off, yay, waste of another afternoon, plus, I live in Amherst, and it was yet another 40 min drive Ive get to make. I was really not happy.
So I go back: visit #2. She got the Prevana, bleached the chunks and then used the red dye. She told me it would fade quickly… Either she doesn’t have the color extender my old stylist did, or just decided f-​me, I wouldnt get any. she offered to cut it a bit so the red would show through more, I accepted. It looked cool, until I realized it was only on one side!!! I told her to please even it on both sides, so she snipped like, one strand on the left side, and then said «all done». And walked away to another customer.
Okay, ridiculously long, I know. My apologies. However, I had to explain the story. Basically, I was overcharged, had to go back so she could fix my hair, and she messed it up even more, and was kind of rude. I now have two totally different cuts on the left and right side of my head. Oh, and she got me a parking ticket. I could not be more upset and disappointed in a stylist, and I’ve had a few really bad ones. The fact that I now have to either let my hair grow a bit before getting it cut the way I wanted it, or go to someone else and get it even shorter, but either way have to spend more money because this woman DIDN’T do it correctly, is absolute b.s. I wouldn’t go here for her, you will regret it. I will NEVER go near her again. If I could, I would give negative stars.

Love love love this place. Tommy is seriously the best hair cutter/​barber I’ve ever been to. He’s super patient and spends a quality 40 minutes on my hair until every strand of hair is at the perfect length — and I have short hair to begin with so this is super impressive.
I went home for the holidays and had to get a haircut then and next month when I came back he looked at my hair for a few seconds and goes, «I didn’t cut this last time did I?» He knows his hair and even on guys’ hair he knows how to do it right. Highly recommend him and taking that extra time to get your hair cut at this place. Check him out!

I’m a dude. I hate haircuts. I’ve never gone to the same haircut place twice.
That all changed with La Barberia Express.
I went there last month and got a great haircut– they listened, they knew what they were doing, and their prices were very reasonable. They were friendly and recommended things, but didn’t push products or go for the hard sell.
I walked in as a shaggy mess and walked out a happy man. If you need a haircut, this is the place to go. Ask for the guy with the spider web tattoo on his elbow (the self-​proclaimed ‘LeBron’ of hairstyling). I promise you won’t regret it!

Student cuts are only 18 $ for men and 30 $ for women best place to get your haircut there all very professional… men ask for joe

I adore this place! Came here to get makeup, hair, and nails done expecting a decent job but I was blown away. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accomodating. They really listened to me while giving their professional input. I thought the prices were reasonable, too!
