A very well run Kumon centre. In terms of the facilities, no trouble finding parking and the place is very clean. The teachers are very nice and very friendly. My 3 year old son who is relatively shy, was very warmly received by Disha on his first day. She has been his primary teacher at the centre, and he really looks forward to his classes. Thanks to Disha, we have noticed a marked improvement in his ability to count, and basic ABCs etc. And a shoutout to Anam the owner of the centre. She has been very understanding and supportive throughout our sons journey at Kumon
Great barber shop! The place is very clean, and both barbers are extremely friendly and kind. They make you feel comfortable, and the service is really good. I definitely recommend this shop.
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!

I hadn’t had a haircut in years. My alopecia gave me a giant bald spot and I was anxious about having my hair done. Taylor settled my nerves, talked me through the process and really made me feel so at ease.
Such a lovely place. It’s not just a salon that turns over customers. They truly seem to care and want to build community. Definitely recommend them.
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.

Faryn was an absolute delight, I just moved here and needed to get a cut and refresh my balayage. I gave her little direction besides I like to stay a natural looking brunette and wanted fun bits around my face, she ran with it and communicated every option and recommendation thoroughly.
I was stunned with the results, the color is perfect for my skin tone, the cut is fun and low maintenance. She really cares and takes the time to make you feel like a princess, plus gives great life advice and encouragement.. and let me nap in the chair when needed. Thanks Faryn, I'll definitely be back!!
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.
This is the BEST barber shop you will find in Cambridge! I have been coming here for over a year and I have never been disappointed. Antonio is so careful, so thoughtful about every single detail - it’s simply so rare to find this type of service. They both take their time and always make sure you leave happy. Honestly, I cannot recommend them enough.
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!!
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.
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
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 :-)
I had struggled to find a consistently excellent barber until meeting Josh at Barber's Den. Josh is an exceptional barber and person. He has an eye for detail and is very methodical in his work. Josh is hands down the best barber I've ever had and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top notch cut.
I got a haircut from Joel and it was a very nice experience. He took his time to make sure that I looked my best. The beard touch up was also very good. It was also a lot more affordable than other places in the area.
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.
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 .
Jim is the man. I moved to the area around 2 years ago and have been looking for a barber that will get my cut right the first time. As someone who usually leaves a haircut wondering what just happened to me, this time I left feeling like I got what I paid for. Jim is truly deserving of the title master barber, and has a lot more in his bag than just fades and shaves. Excellent scissor work and attention to detail. I can confidently say I’ve found a shop and barber that will keep me coming back.
Yo my boy Sahdaat is the absolute best with the clippers and scissors. Been with him id say 3-4 years now! Always flexible and never says no to anything i bring him, i change my hair a lot color,style, ect. His communication is 10/10 to always make sure you get what YOU want. Always with a smile and always mindful of the customer, if you want it done right leaving you feeling good this is your guy.
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.
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 had the most amazing experience with Kim. She was so welcoming and made my time so relaxing. My eyelashes came out perfect!! If you need a lash lift this is your spot!
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.
Great barber shop! The place is very clean, and both barbers are extremely friendly and kind. They make you feel comfortable, and the service is really good. I definitely recommend this shop.
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.
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. 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!
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. :)
I had an amazing wax and facial with ava! It was my first time for both and she was extremely thorough and made me feel so comfortable! She is extremely knowledgable in skin in all departments, and made me feel so pampered and made me motivated to take care of my skin!
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!
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!
They did a great job at installing a water line in the back of a fridge. They were very responsive, friendly, great a communication, quick at returning phone calls, very kind and explained directions and tips/tricks to me to help maintain the fridge. I highly recommend. Thanks!!!Update on 1/2023: great communication and quick call back! Still highly recommend.
John W came over, did a thorough inspection which revealed we had a broken check valve. He then located it in the backyard, dug a deep hole in 100° weather and pulled out every tool he had to get it flowing. He then gave us advice on how to proceed. Well done John! Thank you
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!
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.
We brought in Level & Plumb mid-reno on two bedrooms in our Charlestown single family as our previous contractor ghosted us mid-project. Gary and his team were very responsive and professional and really helped us get out of a mess. They did great work finishing the bedrooms and fixing things the previous contractor had messed up. The work Level & Plumb did included crown molding, fixing of the floorboards, electrical work, restored exposed brick, fixed stair tread, installed some flooring, and reconnected our HVAC. We would definitely recommend and would be happy to work with Gary and team again!
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!
I am so pleased of the services I've received at Lorna Lally, DMD. I am Dr. Dautaj patient and she has done an amazing job with my super natural looking veneers and overall dental care. The communication is great and there are no surprises. The doctor provides detailed descriptions about the services needed and plans are discussed prior anything is performed. There has been never any surprise charges or fees. The hygienist and the doctors are empathetic and always make sure you are comfortable during procedures. The office staff is very friendly, accommodating and overall pleasant. The climic is aesthetically beautiful and there's parking available in the back of the building. I have nothing but great things to say about this dental office and I will 100% recommend it!!
I’ve been a patient at Davis Square Chiropractic for about six years now, and I keep coming back — which says everything! Dr. McCarthy first helped me recover after giving birth, gave me effective home exercises, and even checked in on my baby boy when he was just a few months old. A couple of years later, I returned for some realignment and left feeling great again. Now I’m back after a fall during a tennis match that resulted in a broken arm, and once again I feel like I’m in the best hands. What I really appreciate is that Dr. McCarthy always takes the time to explain what he’s working on — the office has detailed spine and nerve models that he actually uses during your visit, which makes everything so much clearer. He’s professional, genuinely listens, and addresses every concern thoughtfully. The office itself is clean, well-organized, and welcoming, and the staff is always polite and helpful. With my insurance, visits are very reasonable at $35. Highly recommend!
Immediately before I say anything else, I need to thank Dr. Nick. He’s done what other chiropractors/doctors haven’t been able to do. I’ve had serious back pain for as long as I can remember, probably looking at around 8-9 years. I’ve gone to multiple chiropractors, doctors, and even physical therapy in the past, but nothing has worked for me. Dr. Nick has worked with me for a few years now and just recently put me on a new treatment plan for my back because he wanted to try something else out. Prior to this treatment, nothing worked to fix my back pain; it affected day-to-day activities, and I’m only 23. After this most recent treatment plan, we finally broke through to getting rid of my back pain almost completely. I’ve been searching for answers for years now and finally got what I was looking for. Now, with most of the pain eliminated, Dr. Nick is focused on maintaining the current state of my back and is working towards fully eliminating the pain. Honestly, I am not the type of person to go and write reviews for anything, but I have to express my gratitude for him and all he’s done. For anyone questioning chiropractic work or if it actually works, take it from me when I say this. Chiropractic work definitely works, but if you don’t go to the RIGHT chiropractor, it won’t be much help. You need someone who is meticulous and someone who is willing to go above and beyond for you, and I can 110% say that Dr. Nick has done that and will continue to do so.
I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for the past five years after a car accident and multiple aches and pains from sports, aging, and life events. Of all the chiropractors, Dr Cordima is one I would highly recommend. He uses highly effective technique for adjustments and state of the art technology which have significantly improved my neck, shoulder and back pain. On top of all of this, his practice takes my insurance and my copay has been more affordable than previous chiropractors I’ve seen in the Boston area. Definitely recommend calling to inquire about if chiropractic care is right for you and you see for yourself!
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!

Dooley gave me a great combination of deep tissue, myofascial release and passive stretching. I recommend him for a massage for tight muscles and neck or back soreness.
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 ever massage today with Anna, and left refreshed. She made me comfortable and super relaxed throughout the experience. I’ll be returning for more!
I just had an incredible massage from Nayahra Resende at Soft Space Wellness in Somerville. Nayahra was very professional yet personable and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed during my massage. Today my body feels much less tension and my back and neck feel amazing. I highly recommend Nayahra and Soft Space Wellness!
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!
Save Point Acupuncture & Wellness has been such a lifesaver for me over the past 6 months: I have had lifelong neck/shoulder issues, and earlier this year, something tweaked and I found myself in excruciating pain. Thank goodness for Ash and Johnny!
I started working with Save point by seeing Ash for acupuncture and Johnny for physical therapy. Ash and Johnny are not only knowledgable, professional providers -- they are also lovely human beings! I enjoyed going to appointments for the relief I found for my pain, but it was also a bright spot in my week to interact with both of them.
Ash's deep knowledge of acupuncture and cupping allowed her to target painful pinched nerves and knotted muscles, bringing great relief to the pain I was experiencing. Johnny's PT sessions taught me posture adjustments, strengthening exercises, and helpful stretches to support my long-term wellbeing.
I appreciated that Save Point accepts insurance for both acupuncture and PT; it made investing in my own health and wellbeing much more accessible than it would have been otherwise. I also really liked Johnny's use of MedBridge, so that I could remember my at-home PT exercises with ease.
Sadly, I recently moved out of the area and will no longer be able to work with Ash and Johnny. Before I left, I also got to book massages with Johnny which were so relaxing and soothing! His prices for massage are extremely reasonable, especially given the level of expertise that he brings to the (massage) table!
I cannot overstate how wonderful Save Point is for acupuncture, PT, and massage! I will miss going there so much!
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!?!
