Running With Scissors

If you’re looking to get it done quickly. I’d come here again, and am very happy with my style. I would recommend this place.

Not many services offered. But the ones that they do offer are great. Very professional yet personable staff. They really know what they are doing and have always been so welcoming and inviting. I recommend Kayla for an amazing updo for any event!

I just left the salon. Scott was superb. He evaluated my hair type, what was best my job situation etc. Within a few short minutes I felt he understood my needs. His work was very serious, he seemed intent on making the final results perfect. He said why don’t we blow it out? And I said of course… It was like HE was anxious to see the final result.
So after being charged $ 25 (plus 10 for a tip)…I was even more thrilled… so many salons overcharge for a cut and blow dry.
You may see the small strip this is located in and want to pass it by… dont !

This is a very practical, nice, and efficient place. I would recommend this place, if you’re looking to get it done quickly (my cut took 30 minutes). I’d come here again, and am very happy with my cut. I had a great cut experience with Tracey, and she’s been cutting hair for 14 years. This is not the high-​end $ 80+ cuts with «celebrity stylists,» where you get the services and full salon experience (people fawning over you, making you tea and free snacks.) At Running with Scissors, for $ 20 – 25 you get a good cut and style, which is great, and as far as not-​supercuts go, this place is pretty good. You get what you pay for, and they take pride in their work and cleanliness.
One nice thing about this place is that they have a lot of really good hair picturebooks in the waiting area, so I was able to point to the two pictures I liked and describe what I wanted easily.

Terrible customer service. Last time I went as a walk in and waited forever as those with appts went first. Today I made an appt and a very rude stylist informed me that I would just have to wait, or leave, but they always take walk-​ins first even though I arrived 10 minutes before my appt and it was already past my appt time. If they do not understand the appt system, they shouldn’t use it. And rudeness like that… their business must be doing so well they don’t need to be nice to customers. Oh well just one more day my son gets to go without a haircut!

I go here every few months to get my haircut. It’s in Seekonk MA and I live in Cambridge so it’s about an hour or so drive to get there but it’s totally worth it! Everyone who works there is super nice, the parking is easy and overall it’s a great experience. I highly recommend if you want a great haircut!

Deciding last minute that I could not possibly stand the length of my hair for another minute prior to a summer camping trip, I called salon after salon asking for an appointment that could not be had. My only other option given the hour and my time frame was an establishment that took walk-​ins… acknowledging that I would likely have to wait for service somewhere, I found Running With Scissors.
Conveniently located on Route 44, Running With Scissors is open every day but Sunday. Upon entering, I was greeted by a waiting area full of customers young and old. Approximately 5 stylists had people in chairs, scissors a’clipping and blow dryers a’running. I was immediately greeted but warned the wait was an hour. I put my name in and promised to come back within that time for my haircut.
On returning, there was initial confusion about my «appointment». I explained that I put my name in an hour before but only when the woman who took my information heard what was going on, was my presence on the list acknowledged. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to have much bearing on my wait. I sat down, watched everyone currently in the waiting area get seated before me, then 30 minutes later, was finally taken for my cut. Whats the point in putting my name in when I’m gonna be last on the list anyways on my return?
During my wait, I was witness to many things. Employees lounging around in wait for their late appointments, plumes of hair drifting across the floor into the waiting area, and one openly annoyed stylist attempting to mop it all up. Certainly not the most relaxing or comfortable of environments, but certainly indicative of the crazy busy-​ness this salon seemingly encounters at times.
On finally being called upon, Kayla took care of my haircut. If I could give separate ratings, I would give her a full 5 stars! She was extremely personable, proficient at exploring my needs with a new style, and was genuinely interested in our conversation. I got exactly what I asked for and was sporting a new shorter and more manageable look for the summer to come in no time!
Unless confronted with similar circumstances, it is not likely I would return. The chaos of this establishment was infectiously anxiety-​provoking. Despite its advertised ability to take walk-​ins, I felt as though having an appointment would have been the preferred route here. As my rating indicates, I have experienced better. If you do find yourself visiting here, make an appointment with Kayla!

You’re better off using a weed-​whacker.
