    I highly recommend this place. The owners are a nice couple. After explaining what I wanted for my haircut, she cut my hair and made sure it was the length I wanted. They were very understanding and efficient. Good service.

    Their prices are unbeatable! There is no less expensive place for a haircut in Boston. Yet, they are doing a better job than beauty salons charging 3-5 time more.
    It are open until later hours than many other hairdressers in Chinatown and are willing to provide service if you come close to the end of their workday.

    Great hairstylists. Kong and her husband have been working this shop for over 30 years! They’re fast, no frills, professional barbershop at great prices. There’s a ton of cool lil aquariums inside too.
