Karen's great! Best in Amherst.

In the four years that Caren has been cutting my hair (been going to her since freshman year!), I have never once been disappointed with the resulting haircut. I'm graduating soon and I'm super pumped to be staying in Amherst for grad school because that means I won't have to find a new hairstylist. Seriously though, if you're in need of a haircut, go see Caren. You will not be disappointed. She's great. She listens to what you want and will steer you in the right direction if you're looking for something new. She's so experienced and understands the way hair works and cuts it in a way that just suits the said person. I always leave feeling great about myself. 5 stars just doesn't seem like enough!

First of all, I have to say that I never got my hair cut by Caren, but I wish I had. The first time I went to get my haircut, the stylist did a great job, she was very meticulous and gave me a good cut. The second and third time were a huge disappointment, I had different stylists both times, they were rude and seemed to be in a rush. One of them cut my hair in (no kidding) less than five minutes! For the record, I have curly hair and she was supposed to do layers so you can imagine nothing good came out of that. To her defense, some musician from some band was at the common and she HAD to go get his autograph. Very unprofessional. I am happy to have switched to a different salon!

Easily the best haircuts I have ever had. Caren is extremely experienced at cutting hair, especially the dry cuts, which I love! The stylists listen to what you want, are very nice, and the salon is very nice. The best part is the price, so affordable and they do a GREAT job. I won't go to anyone else!

I have been going to Carens Place for all my waxing for the last 4 yrs and WONT go anywhere else in Amherst or Northampton. Its not just that Caren is super friendly and does a TERRIFIC job, but that she is super careful about hygiene...makes you realize how many places are not! I really could not recommend this place anymore...all around GREAT!
