I am incredibly happy with our experience at the Kumon Center! The tutors and staff are patient, kind, and deeply dedicated to helping students succeed. Thanks to their structured approach to both math and reading, my child's confidence and comprehension have soared. I would definitely refer this institution to prospective parents and caregivers alike.
Took a top to him that I needed altered by the next day since I’m traveling to Italy(for the wedding). Juan was so kind and understanding. Even though he was very busy, he altered my top the same day. It fits perfectly, and the price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone and will be going back.
Bel image is the ONLY place I for my hair. I’ve gotten weaves, silk presses, treatments, and color and I never been disappointed! You’re in great hands.
Ana is amazing and I’m so happy she is now at Brazil Hair in Somerville. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly talented at what she does. She takes her time, listens to what you want, and makes sure you leave feeling confident and happy with your hair. I’m in love with my new hairstyle!!? You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. The experience is always comfortable, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend booking with Ana if you want beautiful results and great service every time.
Jenn has created a very comfortable and relaxing space. After a brief chat she was able to dial in the exact type of massage I needed. I would highly recommend Jenn!

Had my first curly cut experience today, and it absolutely did not disappoint!
Toriah was kind and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Her knowledge and passion for curly hair is incredible. She took the time to ask about my current routine, the products I use, and how I normally style my curls before discussing what I wanted for my cut. She also gave her professional recommendations based on my hair and goals.
Throughout the appointment, she explained every step of the process, which made the experience both educational and comfortable. I learned so much about caring for and styling my curls today.
I’m so thankful I found The Curl Bar! If you’ve been thinking about getting a curly cut, I highly recommend checking them out ?
The advice I was given about how to heal my hair was life changing.. Had no idea my hair could look so healthy. I felt listened to and understood, and could tell there was a ton of knowledge behind the advice shared. I was even recommended products based on both quality AND price tag, which you can't find often. Definitely will return and will be recommending this salon!
I’ve been doing my eyebrows with Renata since 2017/2018 and let me tell you guys she is most definitely the Brow Queen! She does not disappoint, I’ve tried other places and always end up coming back to her. She is very puntual and always makes you feel welcomed and trust me when I tell you, you come out feeling like a whole new person once you’ve gotten your eyebrows done.

Highly recommend Serhii. He was super professional and effecient. Thoroughly cleaned dryer vents and even cleared internal debris from the dryer. Very responsive and was on the job within a few hours of requesting service.

I'm new to the area and was very nervous about finding someone to do my color and also a curly cut. Feel incredibly lucky to have found Joey at Little Hollow - he's an artist with color and also KNOWS curls. I have found my new salon!! (My teenage daughter told me I looked amazing when I got home, which is the ultimate compliment). The entire salon also has a very nice friendly & chill vibe.
I’m new to Boston, and this was my second haircut in the city. My first was at a different salon, but I wasn’t happy with it—the price was high, and the quality of the cut didn’t match the cost.
My boyfriend, who is very picky about his haircuts, recommended Studio M, and I’m so glad I took his advice. Michelle really listened to what I wanted and even asked if I wanted my hair washed. Since my hair was already clean and straightened, I didn’t need it, and I appreciated that she checked—especially because it would have been an extra $20-25. I love that she was upfront about it instead of adding unnecessary services just to increase the bill.
Not only was she honest, but she also gave me a great haircut. That kind of service earns loyalty, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this spot!
Maria is always so welcoming and flexible, she is great with kids, and it is always a good experience! My 8yo has been getting her hair cut here for over 1 year.

Salon Aya is a super cool place run by Linda, who is an absolute hoot and was great to work with. She had me laughing and another longterm client cracking up the whole time and I felt like I was just chopping it up with my neighbors- great vibe. Gave me the great clean cut in a super timely manner. Definitely check them out!!
Been getting my hair cut by Derrick for years now, and he does an excellent job. I have long, layered hair, and he just does a beautiful job making face framing layers that work perfectly for my thicker hair texture. He always takes his time and charges a fair price.
Jessica does such a great job with curly cuts!! You can tell she listens and wants her clients to love their hair. She won’t cut off more than you want
Love the haircut I got from Carmem. This is a wonderful space that is family friendly and great for those of us on a budget. Obrigado, I couldn’t be more delighted to have found a local gem!
Rosa is the best, I've become a loyal customer since meeting her! Always so nice to catch up with her and she always does exactly what I ask for in a haircut. Affordable cuts for the Greater Boston area in a clean and professional environment :-)
Just moved into town and already found my go-to barber! Kory is a great guy and hooked me up with a sweet haircut. He’s receptive to suggestions and communicates what he’s doing during the haircut. Great place, great people, great haircut.
First time here, was in the area for a conference. Been in the military for almost 13 years and fades are a weekly requirement. Received the best haircut I’ve had at least the last ten years. Great customer service and friendly. Great pricing too! Would go back again in a heartbeat!
Hidden gem in this crazy world, 15.00 hair cuts, cannot beat that, lots of somerville memories! on the walls, help support small business! Catch something to eat next door while you are there!!!
Sergio is the best barber that has cut my hair in Massachusetts since I moved from NY. He takes his time and does an exceptional job. He’s constantly busy because of how good he is. I’ve been going to him for over a year now.
I've been looking for a good barbershop for quite a long time but not anymore. Jim is awesome, as are the other crew members. Even if I have a tight schedule and Jim is unavailable, I know I can trust any of them. My son agrees too, and it means a lot.
It is the best. A real Barber Shop! great service, personalize and creative hair cuts, great commaraderie . Great ambience with lively music.Check it out .
Been going here for over twenty years. Family business. Simply one of the best barber shops around town. Friendly, courteous, competitively priced for upper mid range haircuts. Walk ins can be accommodated if there's a break in a barber's booked schedule. Booking online is now preferable. Recommend highly. Busy, depending on time and day of week.
This place is great, best haircut I've had since the pandemic. My regular barber fell off so, I started cutting my hair myself, nothing beats that professional haircut feeling though. I speak minimal Spanish, so there was a language barrier, but the barber I had gave me the exact cut that I wanted, lineup perfection and didn't push back my hairline. Great spot! I took a chance, I'm not from Boston, New York is where I came from. So nice to know when I come to Boston, there's a spot I know I can go to if I.need a solid cut.
This place is open more than any other shop. Works very well with my busy schedule. I also typically have a hard time finding people that do my hair haircut correctly. here I get a consistently good, cut exactly what I asked for with good attention to detail.
I love coming here to get my acrylic done with gel polish. She always does a great job! She is reasonable priced and very attentive. If you don’t like something just let her know and she doesn’t get upset or irritated. She truly cares about her costumers been happy.
I have been coming to this salon for about 2 years now! I always get compliments on my nails and they tend to last longer than other dip from other salons. It is a family run business and I’ve had great experiences with a lot of the nail techs but my go to person is Michael
Lisa is just the absolute best. She’s so patient, lets you spend your time trying out different colors, she’s super sweet, and works very fast! I couldn’t believe how quickly she did my nails and they were perfect!! Highly recommend. I won’t go anywhere else.
My go-to nail salon since moving to Somerville! Everyone does a great job, and my nails look amazing each trip! The technicians pay such close attention to detail and are so kind as well. Thank you!!!
Love my nails, they did such a great job! The place is clean and cozy. My only downside is I asked for a gel full set, and I didn’t realize that meant acrylics with gel polish. However my nails turned out amazing so I can’t complain!
I started going to Bliss nails over a year ago and absolutely love staff and the services that you receive you get exactly what you want. All of the staff are friendly and remember details of what you have mentioned that you like for designs to them previously. I can’t say just 1-2 names because they all deserve credit as they never let you walk in there without making eye contact and a friendly hello.
I have been going for years and they are the best-every tech is wonderful and accommodating. They listen to what you ask for and have SO MANY COLORS. Particularly happy with my birthday manicure where I asked for three successively darker corals.
The Best Salon in the area! This is a NEWBURY St 5-star Salon w/ parking located in Somerville. From the moment you step in you’re treated like an exclusive client. You are given beverages and snacks if hungry. The hairstylists are attentive and educated in their services. The Salon is super clean and they use top rated products. I love this place and will continue to go. By the way my damaged mess of hair looked beautiful and soft and shiny. I got compliments all day!
Excellent establishment. I have had a professional relationship with them for over 10 years using their services. A great professional who perfectly understands the client’s needs.
Richard has been cutting my hair now for a couple years from the place on Somerville Ave. Pleasant and relaxed setting and a great haircut. Always an enjoyable experience, so much so that I look forward to the visits and catching up.
Ana is amazing and I’m so happy she is now at Brazil Hair in Somerville. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly talented at what she does. She takes her time, listens to what you want, and makes sure you leave feeling confident and happy with your hair. I’m in love with my new hairstyle!!?

I highly recommend booking with Ana if you want beautiful results and great service every time.
Patrick was amazing—attentive to every detail and really listened to what I wanted. He took his time, was patient, and never made me feel rushed, truly caring about the results. My balayage is vibrant, and Patrick will be my hairstylist from now on. This is the first time I’ve left a salon with exactly what I wanted and truly loved the result. His care, even down to perfectly brushing out my hair before dyeing it and his expertise with foils, made all the difference. Michelle, the owner, was also so sweet and welcoming. Thanks so much !
Martha was highly recommended to me by a family she's known for decades. I had a wonderful experience -- Martha was both personable and knowledgeable (which is not a frequent combination, it seems). Thank you, Martha!
The advice I was given about how to heal my hair was life changing.. Had no idea my hair could look so healthy. I felt listened to and understood, and could tell there was a ton of knowledge behind the advice shared.

Luisa is the best hairdresser. Very professional as well as talented. She also has a great sense of humor.Sadly the shop is not permanently closed. Luisa, the owner, has retired. I was a loyal customer for over 20 yrs and will miss her a lot.
I had such a great experience at this salon - both with my nails and with a haircut. Solange was so welcoming and gave me exactly the haircut I wanted. I left feeling amazing! I also had a great experience with Ingrid as a nail tech. :)
Thank you for providing guidance and support in establishing a skin routine that is effective. I schedule a deluxe signature facial onces a month and I enjoy seeing Isabella for skin treatment.
I have been going to the Lash Line Studio for 2 years and have never felt more comfortable and taken care of for beauty. Nancy does a fantastic job! Every time I leave the studio, I feel 100% better than when I came in :)
I’ve been getting massages her for several years. There are options for Thai, and Swedish, and deep tissue. I usually get the latter, currently with Joy.
Wow, what an incredible experience!! My 2 sisters and I were honored to be tattooed by Ramon. So professional, calm, and patient. I got 2 small tattoos, and my sisters got 1 each and we were there for less than 2hrs - his efficiency did not take away from the final product of the work. We’re all so happy and will def return. Recommend!
Grace (@ghost_o_grace on Instagram) is absolutely amazing!! This was my first tattoo and she was very reassuring while also being honest and upfront about what to expect from the whole process. I could not be happier with the results and would definitely return for another tattoo! :)
Ahern plumbing came to fix a running kitchen faucet last week. I was so impressed by Chris and his associate. They were timely, courteous and did the job thoroughly. They say that if you're lucky you'll find a partner, a dentist, a lawyer, a plumber, a mechanic, an accountant and a doctor you can trust. I'm happy because now I just need to find the dentist, the lawyer and the accountant and my team will be complete.
At a dental office we sometimes have emergency plumbing situations that can't wait and we've always been able to rely on Michael Allen to help us out in a timely fashion. Highly recommend!
Very professional. Gave me a 9-11am timeframe and called me at 9 to tell me he was 5-10 minutes out. Came at 9:10am and fixed the outdoor spigot in a timely manner. Would check in every now and then if I had any questions or concerns.
Henry was fast, affordable, professional, and honest. Did great work replacing a faucet quickly and was the lowest rate of several plumbers called in the area. Highly recommend!Service: Faucet installation

Exceptional service from Jim's Plumbing & Heating! They swiftly resolved my plumbing issue with skill and professionalism. Courteous team, punctual response, and quality workmanship. I'm impressed by their expertise and dedication. A reliable choice for all plumbing needs. Highly recommend Jim's Plumbing & Heating for top-quality service!
Thank You so much for the speedy, professional help with our drain. Keyshaun is a fantastic tradesman, and was able to repair our clogged drain in a very efficient amount of time. In addition to identifying the problem, he let us know how to prevent a further issue, and that was very helpful. In addition to the knowledge of his trade, Keyshaun was very personable and pleasant to converse with. I will be sure to recommend this company in the future. Thanks again.
Sandri and her team are great! They’ve been cleaning our house regularly since last year. She does a careful and thorough job, making sure to even clean the oven and inside of the refrigerator as well! I really appreciate her thoughtfulness in cleaning our home and recommend her services to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy person!
I reached out to a number of Cleaning companies last night for a last minute request for cleaning the next day. Silva got back to me the fastest, confirmed the time, arrived on time, brought cleaning equipment and supplies and got right to work. Owner is very friendly and team of 3 is polished. Do recommend.
B&D is high quality, reasonably priced, and very professional (respond promptly when contacted, work within your budget, and provide updates often on your projects together). Lisa is the BEST at coordinating and keeping everything going!
These guys did a great job on our kitchen. Kevin was easy to talk to, the crew showed up when they said they would, and everything moved along without stress. There were a few small things that came up, but they handled it quickly and kept things moving. If you’re around Somerville and looking into kitchen remodeling, these guys are worth checking out.
The team at Dependable Fence co. Were incredible to work with. Kind, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Kevin and the installation crew were professional and efficient! Would absolutely use them again.
Truly a life-changing experience. After years of dental anxiety and avoidance, including some negative dental experiences elsewhere in Somerville, I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Wagner at the recommendation of a friend. I was treated kindly by all staff, given support to help me relax, and not judged for getting emotional.
Dr. Wagner, Brittany, and Jayme all made me feel welcome. I learned a lot about teeth and mouths, because Dr. Wagner and Brittany both explained everything they were doing, shared fun facts, and answered all my questions. They also have a wonderful x-ray machine that's portable (called a Nomad) that makes the x-ray process significantly easier and faster - and I'm someone who has struggled with dental x-rays my entire life. (Brittany is a wizard!)
Turns out, my teeth are doing great, but I never would have known if I hadn't worked through my dental anxiety at such a wonderful office. I got wonderful advice for improving my dental routines, and practical suggestions of products that would help me, and that were unnecessary purchases. I didn't feel nearly as anxious as I'd anticipated during the appointment, and I walked away feeling genuinely excited to go back for the follow-up cleaning we scheduled at the end.
If you have dental anxiety or a sensitive mouth, Smiles by Rosie is a truly phenomenal place.
I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Liz! She has an incredible way with children - so gentle, patient, and reassuring. My child felt safe, listened to, and totally at ease the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found a dentist who truly cares and makes dental visits a positive experience. Highly recommend!
Dr. Lorna Lally is my new dentist and she absolutely deserves 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. This was hands-down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. She is kind, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The entire visit felt calm and welcoming. Highly recommend!
I have been seeing Dr. Shadrick for many years now, and it has made such a difference. I used to often get headaches and now I rarely get them, and I know it is due to my monthly alignment with Dr. Shadrick. I always feel better after a session. I highly recommend him.
Dr Rob is the best and we have learned so much from him during our treatment sessions. He prevented and helped reverse my daughter’s fallen arches. He has also helped modify her rigorous sports training schedule to prevent injury and burnout and to provide proper rest during growth spurts. He has taught her key stretches to prevent constriction of muscles and fascia. My daughter is pain free, has more energy and is she growing like crazy. She loves his adjustments when she has an injury or when she has tightness.
I have been in severe lower back pain for >10 years and my tailbone felt like it was a stabbing hot poker for the past 3 years. I've had injections, acupuncture, traditional chiropractic, deep muscle massage, months of physical therapy. No relief! I saw the Lifeworks FB ad and made an appointment. After the consultation, he found my tailbone pain was caused in my neck; it's now just a low ache. As for my lower back, after ONE shockwave treatment, I was able to walk a mile without stopping and complete my laundry and cleaning without stopping or muscle spasms! Today was my 2nd treatment. It will take a team of horses to keep me from the incredible relief I've had. THANK YOU!
This is the best vet in the state of MA. I made sure to find fear-free certified vets, and that’s how I found Dr. Hummer. My dog (6 yo, spayed, mix, rescue) is terrified of going to the vet, and Dr. Hummer played with her and got to know her before he started his exam. You actually couldn’t tell that he was examining her because he was so gentle and loving towards my dog. This vet answers all my questions and is always a joy to see. My girl loves the vet now!!
It was my first time here and I didn't know what to expect [since I recently moved to Boston with my pup]. However, everyone was very kind and professional. The front desk was patient with my pup [who was a little nervous, as is the case with going to a new vet] and offered her treats to calm her down. I loved how gentle and loving Dr. English was to my pup. Luna [my pup] was a little nervous initially, but Dr. English took the extra time to play with her [belly rubs work every time..haha] and make her comfortable and then did a thorough evaluation. Unlike many places where the vet rushes you, Dr. English showed a lot of patience and took the time to ensure that all my questions about Luna were answered; so, I could leave with the peace of mind. You can see that Dr. English really cares about your pets [and animals]!!
Logistics and Pricing: Booking the appointment over the phone was very convenient and when I arrived, there was no wait time. The prices for the normal vet visit and the vaccines were also very reasonable.
Thank you to Dr. English and her staff for taking care of Luna! Keep up the great work!
Lisa is like a therapist and yoga instructor wrapped into one. I started going to her classes almost 2 years ago and she pushed all the right buttons. She has a very calming yet informative style of teaching. My mental state and pliability has improved dramatically and she gains students for life. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in starting up yoga. She’s the best in the business.
As a Pilates teacher and practitioner who runs a small business, it was wonderful to experience a different modality of movement expertly guided by Maegan that focused on stress relief and gentle movement. As a movement professional who works with many folks who need more spinal movement, ribcage mobility via breath work, and balance work, I especially loved that Maegan applied her physical therapy lens to the Yoga class and provided a lot of those things that everyone needs. Highly recommend!

I had a massage with Jinn yesterday and it really helped all the pain I was experiencing. She is truly a great massage therapist and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I would highly recommend Jinn.
Jenn has created a very comfortable and relaxing space. After a brief chat she was able to dial in the exact type of massage I needed. I would highly recommend Jenn!
I have just received a superb massage from Rose, who is energetic, thoughtful and intuitive. She was careful to ask questions before beginning my treatment and adjusted pressure as needed. Thank you, Rose, for a fantastic massage!
Marcus did an incredible job on my lower body. They went above and beyond what other massage therapists do; where they not only explained the muscles that were causing me pain, she even recommended what type of exercises I can do to recover given my fitness background. I'll definitely return for another session.
EDITED: Read other reviews and changing the pronouns to they/them. I still think about that massage and I can’t wait to be back.
Great sauna experience, very hot! The place has everything you need when scheduling a session. Hannah is always very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Cat, the proprietor and masseus, is a godsend. I get theraputic massages with her to alleviate some serious damage that using my hands/arms/wrists for all my work and hobbies causes to them as well as my shoulders, back, etc. Her massages alleviate the pain and restore mobility for me. She is also just super friendly, knowledgable, and professional. She has given me advice on stretches and other self-care techniques that help in between visits. The space is also relaxing, clean, lovely, and conveniently located. The larger space that Sans Stress is in, Davis Square Healing Arts, also has practitioners of other therapies that she can recommend. Cat is also incredibly accepting of and professional with *all* body types, including being queer and trans friendly.
Just had my first massage from John Jay. He has great hands, strong but gentle. Asks for feedback about amount of pressure and adjusts quickly. Listens well. Did a great job loosening up a badly knotted neck! A really nice person - warm and relaxed. Just booked a followup visit!
Favorite place for a strong Thai massage in all of Boston! Hands down. Super professional. Everyone is very good, I highly recommend Emily. My friend said “I feel like a new person” after their first massage with them.

I've been having lots of back pain, with scoliosis and losing disc material. Malik knows just how And where to insert the tiny needles That somehow relax muscle muscles and nerves, Reducing pain and increasing relaxation. I'll be back soon!
I went to Dr. Johnny about 2 weeks before my marathon panicking with hip pain and he made me feel so heard and knew exactly how to help - I really appreciated how we problem solved together and he validated the way I was feeling but also made me feel confident that I’d be okay to run!! With his exercises and tips I finished the marathon strong and hip pain free!! I went back for the massage after the marathon and he, again, helped SO much with the lingering soreness and stiffness. Could not recommend him enough!!
Jasmine is truly wonderful. I came to her seeking relief from frequent migraines and ongoing knee issues that had been affecting my daily life for a long time. Thanks to her thoughtful, individualized approach and deep expertise, I have seen a real and lasting improvement. Jasmine has a warm, calming presence and takes the time to truly listen and understand what’s going on each visit, always adjusting the treatments to meet my needs. I am so grateful for the care and support she provides — it has made a meaningful difference in my overall well-being. I can't recommend her enough!
I chose to see Cathy based on the other positive reviews here, so it seems only fair to leave another clue for others.
I'd been having terrible back pain for three months related to tight muscles. My physical therapist and massage people are great, but I needed more.
After the first couple sessions I felt a lot less pain, but the third was even more transformational: a muscle that had been completely locked up for months was released! It was a weird feeling, but really good.
Cathy is very relaxed and easy to deal with as a person. She clearly cares a lot about her clients.
After years of not thinking about finding a new acupuncturist, I finally decided and met Fannie. The treatment is golden from first point of contact through each of the needles she placed before relieving my stressed joints of their aches. Looking forward getting back in her care. What was I waiting for!?!
