Getting my hair done is a particularly anxiety-inducing experience for me. I am someone who doesn't…read morewant to make a ruse, so I will often bite my tongue when something isn't the way I want it for the sake of making sure other people are happy. And getting my hair done is no exception to that. I had been searching for a hair salon in Somerville for a few weeks now as I've been going back and forth about getting my hair cut short again. I finally made the decision and booked an appointment at Salon Luna. When I made the call to book, the person on the phone asked me what my hair was like and said he had some ideas for stylists who would be a good fit for my hair type. I LOVE that they did that. It made me really excited for my appointment. When I arrived at the salon, there were plenty of bottles of hand sanitizer and everything was very clean. Everyone was wearing a mask and clients were spaced out when hair was being cut, washed, or styled. They are not doing blow dries at the time which was also reassuring to hear that they are taking this seriously. I was seated and Sandra came to talk about what we would do with my hair. She was so incredibly friendly and had a lot of ideas and expertise on what she though would look good. We talked a little bit while she was cutting, but I didn't feel pressured at all about having to talk if I didn't want to, which was really nice. When she was done, I payed and we chatted some more about styling techniques. And then I left....but our journey doesn't end there. When I got home, my hair was starting to really dry and I didn't really love it. It was a lot longer than I had wanted and the layers weren't falling like I anticipated. I debated for a long time about whether or not I should call, especially because there are some iffy reviews on here about customer service once the client had left. But after much debate, I decided to call back. The person on the phone was so nice and said that they would absolutely be able to make an adjustment and scheduled me again with Sandra for the next day. When I came in today for the adjustment, Sandra was so kind and understanding about it. She expressed the reasons why she didn't cut it short, but said that if it's what I really wanted, then it would look great and we should go ahead and do it. The second appointment took about 20 minutes and I left feeling so so good. I was not charged a second time. I will definitely be back to Salon Luna. The customer service was awesome and Sandra was so so nice. She honestly made the whole experience worth it.

I let Ashlyn know she could do whatever she wanted to my hair and she instantly made me feel comfortable. I wanted to make sure she was getting what she needed having me as a client but she was just as worried about me feeling comfortable and happy. Before every cut she made sure I was okay with what she was doing and I came out with a beautiful haircut. She did an incredible job and I will be happy to go back and book with her.

I like that they offer tiers of stylists and make it easy to go in "entry level" and then find your groove with the stylist as they progress in their career. Not one of those intimidating salons an introvert like me doesn't feel comfy in, they're happy to have some business chat and then let me sit and be taken care of in peace :)

The shop is small and only has Isabel as a stylist (or you can see Anita for threading or waxing, too --the two ladies share the workspace), so I would recommend calling or making appointment ahead of time to avoid not getting seen/disappointment. Isabel is kind and is a great conversationalist. It's great caching up with her about life. She does remember her clients as well (I know this because she mentioned specific info about me everytime I stopped by!). She even remembered roughly the last time I stopped by her salon too! Prices are really reasonable for a haircut (she does shampoo my har before the cut, too). I know she also offers coloring too but I've never done that yet with her. Overall, highly recommend Isabel and I plan to continue going to see her as long as I live/ remain in the Boston area.

He does a great job bringing my vision for my hair to life. During the haircut, he's so affirming friendly, and great to talk to.

Kills me to write this review since I really want to support local businesses but I got the worst…read morehaircut of my life here. I booked a haircut with George and for whatever reason he decided that he didn't want to cut my hair. He asked Frankie to do it. There was literally no one there. I said sure whatever. I just had a baby. All I want is a haircut and get out of there. First of all it took 2 hours instead of the 1 he quoted. He blew dry my hair and he was super rough and he burnt my scalp. I asked for bangs and he literally grabbed a chunk of my hair and cut it short: At that point I was really annoyed since I told the babysitter an hour and I was an hour late already. George had to come in a fix his shitty bangs. Finally done and I left. I was so tired that I didn't really check but when I got home I realized that it was superrrr uneven. I tie my hair up and you can visibly see how uneven it was. I had to grow my hair out to get it fixed. I had to wear it up for a few months just to hide how bad my haircut was. Went to another place yesterday and the stylist confirmed it how uneven it was. I think the worst thing was George (believe he's the owner) checked my hair to make sure it was even and he said it was!! Very disappointed in this place since I wanted this to be my go-to place.

All of these haircuts, wedding hair trials, and wedding day events were coordinated by Justin who is a dream to work with and made everything go so smoothly. Love this salon, will keep coming back!

Images: 4 reference photos I showed my hairdresser and the result…read more I arrived 15 minutes early and was seen 30 minutes late into my 45min appointment, and only sat in the styling chair for 15 mins total. After asking for a hairdresser comfortable working with long hair, I was matched with one who insulted my hair the entire appointment, repeating "I hate long hair, this sucks." I asked him to cut one portion of my right hair, tapering down, and he chopped off the entire right side of my hair, tapering up, immediately ruining the style I asked for, leaving no length to mend it. When I asked for my first correction of this already botched style, he scoffed and rolled his eyes. When I asked for the second correction, he interrupted me to call over to and ask for approval from his next client, saying, "are you a lesbian? would you date this?" even though we were both transmasc strangers. He did not ask for my approval, just reacted to his next client's shrug of a response and told me "see? who wouldn't like this cut?" He then stopped talking to me to move on to his next client and the appointment was apparently over.

The vibe is definitely that if you're not there for an expensive color or straightening service, you're inconsequential. I also found it interesting that each time I went to book again, my previous stylist was no longer working there. I'm not sure if it was just coincidence but having such high turnover is not a good sign and means no relationship with the stylists. If you're looking for someone to do complicated or elaborate color, this may be the place but if you're looking to be a regular for basic services, not the place. Pictures of my receipts as proof of services rendered.

She makes every appointment feel effortless. Booking is always easy, she's incredibly accommodating, and she consistently makes the experience smooth and enjoyable. Evie itself is a beautiful, calming space in Davis Square, with great parking and lots of places nearby to grab a coffee or walk around after. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming. Getting a haircut can sometimes feel awkward or forced, but Erin creates such a relaxed environment that I always feel at ease. Whether we're chatting or I just want to sit quietly, it never feels like I have to "perform" during my appointment. I can't recommend Erin--and Evie Salon--enough. Consistently excellent, every single time.

She gave me the best short haircut and I've only been going back to her since... 2006? I love going to Tarley for several reasons: 1. She cuts your hair fast, but extremely precise. 2.

You can make a reservation with her online... which I love because I hate making phone calls. If you're looking for a badass haircut that makes you feel really good about yourself, you should really visit Tarley. OH. And Work Shop Salon carries Living Proof products, which are the best. Plenty of on street parking... which I've never had a problem with.
