Best Hair Salons In Somerville

“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!“

“Carla is fantastic! Have been going to her for 3 years and she has never let me down. All the staff is extremely kind, and it is always very clean and organized :)“

“Soma salon and spa is a wonderful place! Great atmosphere and great haircuts! I have gotten my hair cut by Val for about 8 years now, and she has always done an incredible job! Thank you Val!“

“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, good culture. The barbers listen without being overly bro-y. They get you what you want in a safe environment.“

“Had a facial threading with Anita and it was a great experience! She was also super accommodating to me running a little late, which was much appreciated. Plus great prices compared to others in the area!“

“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. :)“

“Brooklynn did an AMAZING job on my hair cut! She was the best hair stylist I’ve ever gone to!!“

“Best barber shop in all of Boston! Carlos is super nice and exceptional at cutting hair!“

“I’ve been going to Em at Hair by Christine and Co for a few months now, and I cannot recommend them enough! They did my cut before my wedding (fixing a 2-year grown out mullet to a layered bob), and they also did a big mullet transformation with me this summer. Em also gave me some great tips and products to try out that have fully changed my ability to style my hair. Truly the best hair service I’ve had in the Boston area with incredibly reasonable prices. The whole staff is so friendly and the vibes are always great! Can’t recommend them enough!“

“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.“

“She does really good work always been a great hairstylist and friend, she is very lovely person also“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Clementine is the best! I was nervous about finding a new salon and stylist after moving to MA at the end of 2024, but I found Tirza at Clementine shortly after and have been back multiple times! T has made my color ideas look even better than I expected, and has always given me the exact cut I’ve envisioned. The salon as a whole is also so welcoming, and everyone is a sweetie. Can’t wait to be back!“

“The salon was really relaxing and calm. Delphy was so sweet and I’m really happy with my haircut!“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

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

“Patrick always gives my hair the perfect bouncy shape! It could not look like this without his trim + blow out!“
