Best Hair Salons In Cambridge

“Amazing stylist! Very professional, attentive, and always delivers exactly what I want. Highly recommend!“

“Harmony gave a great haircut and had never cut my hair before. I definitely would go back to her!“

“I’ve been going to Salon BellaMar since the end of 2023 after a haircut disaster left me feeling hopeless. By a stroke of luck, I came across Mari's salon, and I’m so glad I did. Not only did Mari completely salvage my hair, but she made me feel like myself again. I’ve been going to her ever since.

So, of course, when it came time for my wedding (just me and my partner walking to city hall ?), I knew I had to have her do my hair. I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Even though it was rainy and super windy that day, my hair looked amazing all day long and my veil didn’t budge an inch.

If you’re looking for someone who’s both highly skilled and just genuinely a lovely person all-around, Mari is your girl! Can't recommend her enough!?‍♀️✨“

“Claudia gives the best haircuts I’ve ever had. I have very thick hair. She does the best layers I’ve ever gotten. The price is unusually reasonable.“

“I absolutely loved my experience at Bellíssima. The team is so welcoming, attentive, and truly professional — exactly what you want when you’re looking for a fresh new look. My haircut always turned out perfectly. The space is clean, comfortable, and filled with great energy. Without a doubt, Bellíssima is the best salon I’ve found in the area. Highly recommended!“

“Jaye did a fantastic cut on my curly hair. Showed her a few pictures and she listened patiently, asked clarifying questions, and did exactly what I was looking for. Salon is chic and light-filled, clean, and professional. Will absolutely be back for color.“

“did a great job, so happy with it, as often in past done elsewhere often disappointing“

“Alan Russo salon is by far one of the best Salons in the Cambridge area! He is not only professional and a great hair dresser but he is by far, one of the kindest individuals you will ever meet! ! I highly recommend Alan Russo Salon“

“Donna is a great hair stylist. With every appointment that I have, I leave the salon extremely satisfied.“

“Zelda and Orisa are truly amazing! They work as a team and treat there clients as family! Orisa has been treating my hair for several years to give me the hair I want to stay up to date. I will never get my hair dyed from a box because how well she does my hair and helps hydrate my curls! Referred my whole family and friends“

“My hair is fine and wavy and I've had some bad haircuts. Maddie really took the time to look at my texture and understand what I was going for. I'm so happy with the result.“

“Reverie Hair Studio is a beautiful space, and is worth the trip to Cambridge from Quincy! The space is relaxing, and they have drinks and snacks available. I've been working with Chloe for years. She installed hair extensions for my wedding back in November, and has helped shape my hair over the past few years as I've dealt with hair loss and regrowth. I have fine, curly hair, and few stylists know how to manage that combination in their chair. Chloe really listens to her clients. She takes your face shape and your capacity for style management into account when creating a look. She is the best!“

“Karlee was so nice, and I am absolutely obsessed with my new haircut. I got exactly what I wanted and better, also the general vibe of the place was great. I'll be back!“

“I've been going here for years and I've always walked out happy with my haircut. Sometimes I ask for something more interesting and trendy, other times just a simple bob. The price is affordable and they never rush the job.“

“I have been seeing Anita for almost three years after returning back to Cambridge from grad school, and I would give her 6 stars if I could! She is a fierce, independent business owner who has specialized in her craft for decades.

Anita could easily charge 50% more for her services for the Boston / Cambridge area (my hometown salon in Connecticut charges double for the same service), but normally finishes with me in half the time! We've had many long conversations where Anita has explained that she could raise her prices, hire more people, create an automated booking system, and build out her business -- but the reality is she loves what she does and is able to balance working six-day weeks with her family life in the suburbs. Easy, efficient, (relatively) painless, and enjoyable every time.

I can think of only two instances where Anita has had to reschedule (honest booking error, one of her girls was sick), but I can think of tens of appointments she has stayed late or fit me in between appointments because it was time sensitive and she was able to accommodate in short-order. She really tries to go above and beyond and takes her work very seriously.

Kindness goes a long way and we are all doing our best. I guarantee you will not be disappointed working with Anita - extremely professional and just wonderful to work with all around!“

“Amazing experience, staffs and service. The place is also clean. I've been going to this SuperCut in the last 15 plus years living in Cambridge.“

“Have been coming here for years, and Sophia is wonderful both as a hair technician (she's efficient, detail oriented, and has a great eye) and as a kind and friendly human. It's a good vibe, and you can't beat the prices either.“

“We got a last minute appointment with Dawn and it was a great experience! My 4-year old daughter has very strong hair and Dawn took a lot of time and care of her hair, really giving her hair a wonderful new shape. She explained a lot and gave great tips for the future. She was very sweet with my girl who relaxed into the experience and now looks so cute. As first time client we also got a 20% discount, that was a pleasant surprise! We will definitely come back ?“

“Amazing service and experience overall! I went specifically for work on my curly hair and George did not disappoint. My hair looks and feels exactly how I hoped, George is great with curly hair and very professional. I will be going back for my next haircut <3“

“Just a wonderful experience overall. I had Tara and she was fantastic, a business that clearly has respect for its employees ?“

“Simply Erinn’s is amazing. Erinn is not only an excellent hair stylist, but she is also an excellent hair educator. She really knows her stuff and is really good at explaining the best techniques and products to meet your hair goals. I got a shampoo/conditioning, blow dry, trim, and a silk press. Erinn was thorough, patient, and took great pride in her work. She also made sure that I was 100% satisfied with her work. I wish I could give SIX stars to express my satisfaction. I have found my salon home. Thanks Erinn!!“

“Moving to Boston, I was so nervous about finding the right place to continue my natural hair journey. You know how it is—new city, new people, and the fear of trusting someone new with your hair. But was lucky enough to be living right near Zina’s—and wow, what a blessing that turned out to be.
From the very first appointment, Zina and Meka welcomed me like family. Their space became so much more than just a salon—it became my safe place. It was a place where I could relax, and laugh. Every single time I sat in that chair, I knew I was in expert hands. The love, care, and intention they put into their work is unmatched. Zina & Meka genuinely want you to love your hair—and it shines through in everything they do. From the high-quality products to the positive, uplifting energy they bring into the room, every detail is intentional. They made my natural hair journey not just easier, but truly joyful. I left every appointment feeling beautiful, confident, and more connected to my personal style. Hair is how I express myself, and they brought my vision to life every single time.
Whether you’re new to Boston, just visiting, or have been here for years and somehow haven’t discovered Zina’s yet—please do yourself a favor and book that appointment. You’ll wonder how you ever went without them.
Zina & Meka, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything—your kindness, humour, and your talent are unmatched. I’ll absolutely be back when I visit the city ?“

“I’ve been going to Capelli salon last few years and they are the best. Im seeing Nassim, and he is excellent hairdresser, especially knowlegable with colouring, i do balayage, and colours he choses and mixes always get compliments!“

“Great experience. Showed up early, was able to get started early and really happy with the haircut. Looking forward to coming back!“
