Eliza has been doing my hair for about a year now and I could NEVER go to another hairdresser!…read moreNever have I been to a hairdresser that listens to me and does EXACTLY what I want done to my hair. My hair is beautiful and it's all thanks to Eliza. Not the most beautiful salon in the world, but great prices, friendly hairdressers, and the best hair you'll ever have in your life!

Update: for some reason, the last time I went for a haircut here she charged me $55 when before I…read moreonly paid $25 for a haircut and blow dry. She cut my hair shorter than I asked and blow dried it like I was in the 70s show. Needless to say, I wasn't so satisfied with my last visit. I might try others around the area to spice it up. If you do want to try out this salon, I would suggest you call in for an appointment specifically for Marta. I've only tried one other hairdresser here and I was scared he was going to gouge my eyes out with the scissors. Eventually, Marta had to step in and finish the haircut. I would still support this salon but maybe not my next one. Old review: Marta's is one of the best salon in Somerville. It is rubbed by the owner herself. It is best to call and set up an appointment. They also do walk ins. They do not charge if you missed an appointment. But out of courtesy, try not to. Support business around your are! Marta's is worth your trip and the service is wonderful.

Tabatha Coffey would probably freak out, and I wouldn't necessarily get any waxing done here (or anywhere really) but a friendly, twelve dollar, perfectly faded buzzcut in ten minutes without an appointment met my needs just fine. As reviewers of other salons in East Boston have already noted, be prepared for your stylist to take phone calls, buy jewelry, haggle with contractors, discuss family matters in rapid-fire Spanish with random people who walk in, and basically multitask a million things while she's cutting your hair.

Every time I did find someone, three months later, they would end up at a different hair salon far away, or for lots more money.

I had a couple swank events on my dance card and wanted to look especially fabulous, so I did my…read moreYelp homework (it's surprisingly hard to find a Back Bay salon that's open on Sundays) and booked an appointment with Liz for a blowdry session. I came in just as they were opening for the day, so I was the only one in the place for a while. First impression? The space/decor is not much to look at. But Liz was attentive, cheerful and chatty, and I relaxed pretty quickly -- I'd rather have a "regulars swing by" kind of experience than feel like I need to be on my best behavior in a fancy spa setting, anyway. I didn't have a firm idea of what I wanted in terms of style, so I let Liz take the reins -- we ultimately decided on a half-updo so the gentle curls she set in my hair would stay in place until the afternoon. I love that she asked me what I thought of what she was doing every step of the way; I really got the impression she wanted me to be happy with the final result. And I was! $32 and I floated away like a princess; I wish I had an excuse to come back every weekend.

I trusted her because she was able to explain everything to me and explain how important it is to get my hair healthy but looking beautiful. She gave me a color, and Keratin Hair Treatment and it is the best my hair has ever looked. My boyfriend will not keep his hands out of my hair. My hair has great body and movement and is the shiniest it has every been!! The price for all my services were great. I would have paid more for all which I received. Katrina's shampooing was so relaxing I wanted to fall asleep!! It was the best service I ever received from a salon, and I get my hair done all the time. It is hard to find salons were people have REAL knowledge about hair and want your hair to be healthy and looking good. BUT I FOUND THE SHOP and I have a new styles for LIFE!!. Katrina is sweet and knows what she is doing. She has the hands which will transform your hair to make you very happy!! Clean shop!! Parking right outside!! Excellent Service!!

The hair stylist I have been going to for awhile whose cuts I loved moved out of the area so I needed a new hair stylist. I recently tried a different salon using a groupon and had been given the most blah haircut (and won't be going back to that salon). I stopped into this salon and asked for ideas on how to fix my blah haircut for the next time I needed a cut in the future. Bridget really looked at my hair and gave me some terrific ideas for future cuts, agreed that my haircut didn't hang together as a cut (wispy in front and yet just hung there and didn't look right and long in the back with a really odd wierd shape to it) and offered to fix my current cut for free( but of course generous offer though it was I didn't want to do that) so I made an appointment to come back in the hopes she could salvage my cut. Bridget is absolutely wonderful! She has over 30 years of experience and actually knew how to cut my hair so that a blah haircut where the best compliment was that it looked like I'm growing it out, or where no one even noticed I had a style, turned into multiple compliments and a cut that's truly fun and edgy with shape and definition. Bridget is like the hair whisperer..she knows how to work with baby fine absolutely straight hair and has a great sense for what would be perfect for your face. I absolutely love my new haircut. Plus she has great ideas for what to do next once it grows a bit so we have a plan for 10 weeks from now. The salon atmosphere is like Cheers where everyone knows your name and everyone chats with each other. She asks if you would like coffee or tea or something else and cookies. She took me on time and it's a relaxing fun lively place where it's down to earth and has a neighborhood feel, and where when you leave you feel like you truly had great conversations with everyone. I love being able to write this review.. it's so hard to find a great hair stylist so I had to share my experience. I think haircuts are $45 and a color, cut and blowdry is $90. Thanks to Bridget I found my new salon and stylist.

Something wasn't right when I walked in. This place has that 90s salon feel to it. It felt dated…read more But Floyds was booked for the night, and I wanted a haircut, so I gave it a shot. Big mistake. First, the woman (Andrea) sprayed my hair with water, resulting in it dripping all down my face, my ears, and my back. Then, she was painfully slow with her buzzer, and I questioned (aloud) how long she has worked there for (2 years), and I questioned (in my head) whether she had ever given a buzz cut before. The front of my haircut (a 3 on sides and back, blended to a 5 up top, using scissors to shorten the front) was unevenly cut on the left and right side of my face. When I questioned this, she said it's my uneven hairline. Um, no, it's your bad technique. Finally, her clippers kept nicking my neck, resulting in a burning sensation. She kept using them, even though I told her they burned. I now have red marks on the back of my neck (adding a photo so you can see). Then, I was charged at a discount. I appreciate the gesture, but this should have been free. I want my money back. I was also given a customer loyalty card. Did she really think I was coming back after this experience?? Don't go here. There are too many options in the area.
