Best Hair Salons In Somerville

“Vinny always gives me the most stunning blow outs. Fernanda is an expert in hair coloring. This salon will always get your hair right. Amazing and talented staff!“

“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.“

“Ranjana does a wonderful job with my hair coloring and massage with the shampooing. The braiding is the topper!!!“

“Super inviting salon and so so cute! Nell did an amazing job with my haircut and is so fun to talk to :)“

“I’ve been coming to Salon Milage for several years now, and I always have a great experience. Alex is my stylist, and she’s amazing! I get a blonde balayage, and she consistently does such a beautiful job. She really listens to what I’m looking for, pays attention to the details, and my color always grows out naturally.

Everyone at the salon is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is always relaxing. I always leave feeling so happy with my hair. I highly recommend Alex and Salon Milage to anyone looking for a talented stylist, especially if you’re thinking about getting balayage!“

“I randomly stumbled upon them as a desperate attempt to find someone to fix my hair’s color right before I had to leave on an international trip. I’m a natural brunette and accidentally turned into a… purple/grey haired lady when I added highlights to my hair and toned incorrectly. Before and after photos are attached. I am BEYOND IMPRESSED with this color correction. Michelle was able to turn me back into a brunette with the depth I was looking for when I had initially attempted to change my hair color. Genuinely, the amount of talent it takes to turn an ashy purple blonde into an auburn/brunette with coppery highlights is immense and I’m incredibly incredibly grateful. I walked in crying and left with the hugest smile. I’ll definitely be back.“

“I have been going to Taylor for years now and I don’t even have the words to explain how grateful I am for her and everything the Curl Bar has given me! I walked through those doors with chronically dehydrated hair and really had no idea how to properly care for my curls. I dreaded wash days and viewed my hair more as a nuisance than an attribute.

Three years later and my relationship with my hair has totally blossomed. I now look forward to wash days, I understand my hair now and how it behaves, and I absolutely adore my curls! I’m confident when I wear my natural hair out and have a lot more confidence in styling my hair myself. Not only that, but I learned all of this in the nick of time because I now have two baby girls!

Thank you Taylor and Toriah! What you both have given me is absolutely priceless“

“I've gone here regularly for the past 3 years, and have been thrilled by the service every single time. They are detail oriented, thoughtful, and just experts in their craft. I had a blow out for a wedding, and in 80 degree weather, it lasted 3 days! The environment is relaxing, and the prices are the most affordable I can find in the Boston area.“

“Carla is incredible with hands of a god. Came in first time for a trim and face framing cut and it was absolutely perfect. She is very thorough and detailed.“

“Tirza is amazing. She has the vision. I bring a photo every time I see her and she looks at my hair and knows exactly what needs to be done and makes recommendations. My hair has since been called ‘iconic.’ And it is! Best pixie mullet ever!!“

“Fantastic experience at Family Salon and Barbershop! The staff is welcoming, skilled, and really takes their time to make sure you leave looking your best. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable, and the attention to detail is top-notch. I always leave feeling fresh and confident—highly recommend to anyone looking for a great haircut and excellent service!“

“I'm happy with my hair style. Dona was doing exactly what I wanted and she is such professional. I'm satisfied with her work“

“Fantastic service! I'm in love with my haircut and my hair has never felt cleaner“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“Lori did my wash, haircut and blowout in under an hour. My hair came out fantastic and amazingly healthy! She listened to exactly what I asked for and constantly checked that I was happy with the result. Saloon is so cute and clean with great music and vibes. Definitely my new salon in the area!

See you soon!“

“Great experience! She was so nice and extremely attentive, my hair came out exactly how I wanted it. She braids quickly and even washes your hair. Highly recommend!“

“Great experience at Soma Parlour! Valerie cut my hair exactly the way I wanted, a U-shaped layer with a blow dry, and it came out perfect. Her attention to detail was amazing.

Rebecca did my facial and was amazing too, so smooth and gentle throughout. Highly recommend both!“

“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.“

“So happy to have found this color bar! Everyone is great. I need my hair colored every 2 weeks, so MR is the perfect solution!!“

“I have been going to Salon Femia for 20+ years and feel it’s about time I left a review because the outstanding mother-daughter team, Daniela and Ornella take such good care of their clients. They truly listen and want to make you happy. They know their craft and are gifted hair stylists and take my hair from blah to beautiful. I always receive compliments on my hair color and I feel so lucky to be in their care.“

“I reached out to Lindsay Griffin after my previous salon suddenly removed my disability accommodation. Many people recommended this salon, specifically Jessica, as kind and great at what she does.

When I first reached out, Jessica was clear about what she could do in regards to the accommodation I needed. I felt immediately comfortable because she had clearly thought through the whole situation and wanted to make sure I was as safe as possible.

Being safe is so important, and I definitely felt safe with Jessica. But as an added bonus, she was so kind and easy to talk to, and wow, she gave me one of the best cut and colors I've ever gotten. I have super thick, curly hair and she clearly is a pro with curls. My only regret is that I didn't switch over here sooner. I've been getting so many compliments and I'm happy with my hair for the first time in years.

She was also super gentle with my head, and made sure I was physically comfortable (warm enough, not thirsty, etc.) I really can't recommend this salon, and Jessica, more. Thanks so much!“
