I've been going to Erin for nearly ten years, and I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. When she started working at Evie Salon, I followed her there--and I'm so glad I did. 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. read more

Got a short bob cut from Rebecca; she was amazing! So professional and worked with me to get the style I wanted but also pointed out any limitations that might make the desired style infeasible. She was also so friendly and was a pleasure to talk to. Booked my next appt with her, can't wait! read more

Got my hair cut (added some layers + face framing pieces) by Rebecca and she was super great! I got exactly what I wanted and I'm very happy with my hair. Rebecca was also very sweet and made me feel comfortable. The salon is cute and has a nice aesthetic. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have been going to Evie for over a year now, and I see Ryan for cuts, and Abby for color. Both of these ladies are awesome. Evie is always accommodating when I'm trying to squeeze in for my "last minute" appointments, because for some reason, I notice out of the blue how ratty my hair looks after leaving way too long in between my appointments. (On my last visit, I did the reasonable thing and scheduled my next appointment before I left, but I think all this virus stuff is going to push that out). Abby is able to create magic with my finicky blonde color, and she is always vibrant... full of fun energy, and has great style. I trust her implicitly to help me make the right decisions for my hair! The salon is also only 2 blocks from my house, so getting there could not be more convenient. read more

I had a great balayage done by Sandra. There was no itemized bill or receipt--I was told everything was included even though originally I'd been told a blow dry was $58 extra. Please note that there is parking at this salon! It would be helpful if they told people this ahead of time, as I assumed the lot was for their workers. Please expect 4 hours for a first time balayage or if you haven't had this treatment for a long time. The estimate I was given when I called was at least 2 hours, so I figured I'd share this. Lastly, I would caution against shaming your customers about how they treat their hair, how often they get treatments done, and what kind of treatments they choose to get. Sandra criticized each of these choices of mine repeatedly throughout the process. I also got criticized for not bringing in a professional headshot of the kind of hair I wanted. I had photos of my hair after the last time I'd gotten it done, taken on an iphone. Sandra took photos of my hair when she was finished, and I guess that's what stylists should do in general...but if they don't, and your customer only has their own phone/lighting to work with, please don't blame them for it. Again, the color and styling came out really well. I just think if you want people to come back and get more treatments, the best thing to do is give them a great service and let them decide for themselves. I would totally get this hair do again, if I could avoid the criticism this time. read more

I have been going to Evie for a few years now and love it there. When I first moved to the area, I tried out a few different salons in my area and always ended up back at Evie. It's right around the block and has a wonderful small salon, community feel. Never too crowded and all the stylists are super friendly. I get my color done by Abby - she is brilliant, always down to have some fun but takes amazing care of her work. She's super patient when I don't know exactly what I want and works with me to figure it out. Plus she's the sweetest. Definitely book with Abby - you won't be disappointed! read more

I went for a hair cut to Evie's for the first time and the stylist was Antonia. She was extremely professional and friendly. She recommended a style which suited my face structure and for my hair texture! I highly recommend this place! read more

I've been going to Evie for almost 2 years now and it's one of the best salons I've ever been too -- everyone there is SO kind! Abby has been my stylist their since day one and she is insanely talented! She keeps my brown hair so blonde + blended that everyone thinks I'm a natural blonde! I had the same hair stylist back home in NH my entire life and I was so nervous to try a new salon when I moved to Boston. Abby instantly made me feel so comfortable and made sure I never left the salon unsatisfied -- she genuinely cares so much about each of her clients. She's the absolute best and I look forward to seeing her every time I get my hair done. I can not recommend her enough!! read more

Abby really knows her stuff. She consulted with me a while before starting my cut and color and I couldn't believe the results especially considering how bad my hair looked going in. I had a lot of bleach damage and fried ends, as well as some crazy layers from trying to trim my own hair (what a mistake). On top of that I've caused a lot of damage wearing it up every day since having a baby a few months ago. I was so happy walking out of the salon today! I'm new to this area and I'm so glad I found her. I am definitely trusting her from now on with my hair. read more

Evie Salon Studio - Cut and roots by Abby, perfectly matching my color! Not sure why it looks orangey in this pic, it doesn't in real life. - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Great cut, nice staff. Was just wanting a trim for long hair, added some front layers.

I've been going to this salon for about 3 years now. Abby is the best of the best. From her color matching to her technique, she knows her sh%t. It's gotten to the point where we just have a small convo about "what I want" and nails it right on the head. Follow her on Instagram to check out her work @coloredbyabby read more

Sandra is so amazing!! I am so happy with my cut. I also consulted her about color, and she shared some options and didn't pressure me to commit to doing anything. Really pleased with the cut, and Sandra is the best!! I will definitely be going back! read more

Best haircut I've ever gotten! I have long thick hair and asked for face framing and layers. Harjot did an amazing job and gave me a chance to tweak the face framing after blow dry. I don't love haircut small talk but Harjot seemed very sincere in our conversation and I actually enjoyed it haha great price as well! Would highly recommend her! Salon was also very clean, parking lot available and front desk staff very nice too! read more

Gabby knows blondes. Her foil technique is flawless, and outgrowth looks so natural! I really like that period of having a dark shadow root so I'm really happy to have found a stylist that knows how to make blonde highlights look natural read more

Evie Salon Studio - light dimensional blonde full foil highlights - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I have followed Harjot's hair journey for years. She is passionate, kind, and well versed with anything hair related. I followed her from her previous salon, to Evie's and she provides the best service I have ever gotten. She is the only person I can trust with my hair, and she is able to match my vision exactly. After months of growing my hair out, I recently went in for a trim and came out feeling like a new person. She knows so much about hair, and teaches you how to keep your healthy. Not only does she know what she is doing, but she is in love with doing it. You can tell how dedicated she is to providing the best service. Love my girl! Evie's has the best environment for a glam session. It is clean, spacious, modern, and very aesthetically appealing. There are crystals all throughout the salon and the stylists are all very kind and welcoming. No complaints! read more

Overall, I'm happy with the way my hair looks. The color looks really good and the stylist was friendly. But I'm incredibly frustrated about their lack of price transparency. I ended up being charged $100 more than I expected for services I was never asked about. Beyond the lack of transparency, the price is simply too high. I was charged over $250 for just color - no cut, no blow dry. Although I'm happy with the way it looks, I cannot afford to spend that much on hair and I never would have if I had known. I feel like I was duped. read more

Abby is THE best blonde colorist. Abby does the most intricate blonde color. I have a reddish toned dark blonde, I don't want to talk about it. Abby highlights the smallest pieces of hair to blend in naturally and grow out slowly. I can show her any tone of blonde and she can always color match it perfectly. So happy to have found her and call her a friend. read more

I came to Abby to get my hair done for the first time and she blew me away! She really knows what she's doing and takes pride in her work. When she saw that the color wasn't exactly what she wanted, she went back in and toned it to a lighter color to make sure it was perfect. I truly will NEVER let anyone touch my hair other than Abby again! read more

I have been going to this salon for about 3 years and I wholeheartedly trust Abby with my hair ! She is amazing. She makes time for me with my crazy busy schedule, she makes the experience fun and she is a master of her coloring craft. When I had foot surgery 2 years ago I hobbled my way to Evie salon about once a week to have Abby wash and dry my hair. She just knows how to make you feel good ! I have never left disappointed. Abby is more than my hairstylist- she has become a great friend! I genuinely look forward to seeing her read more

See all

Beautiful and clean studio with kind and welcoming staff. This place is pristine and right near Davis Sqaure. It has beautiful light and feels modern. Wonderful professional stylists and color experts. Overall I had such a pleasant experience here. read more

I'm so happy I found Evie Salon! Everyone there is so friendly and great at their jobs! I had awful "quarantine hair" that I had been trying to grow out/get healthy for months. I found Abby on Instagram and was so impressed by her balayage. I met with Abby for a consultation (knowing my hair was in rough shape and I needed a long term recovery plan- sounds dramatic but I had several other salons tell me my hair had too much breakage to add color to and my options were chop it off (*screams into pillow) or grow it out for a year (which I ended up doing with Abby's advice). I'm so happy that Abby suggested I be patient and keep getting regular cuts to get my hair healthy. Abby has been so amazing and reassuring. When I was finally able to do the first balayage towards getting my hair where I want it to be gradually I trusted her fully. She did a great job and I can't wait to go back! read more

New mom--got out of the house for an hour, waited over 30 min and stylist never showed. So unprofessional, left with wet hair and no cut.

I LOVE this place - when I first moved to the area, I was worried I wouldn't find a salon that could deal with my vivid color vision for my hair (black baliage to blue) and Antonina did a beautiful job, and I feel so confident when I get my color touched up. The whole salon has a happy and relaxed vibe, and that matters to me. read more

Evie has been my hair home for about six years now. I used to spend hours on round-trip drives to North End salons and wacky parking situations there, but why do that when I can get an even better cut ten minutes away? Evie's overall vibe is chill, with rotating selections of local art on the walls and a collegial atmosphere among the stylists. Let me also sing the praises of Bexx, who has helped me live out my raven bob fantasies for half a decade. When COVID hit, I saw her less, but she helped me repair questionable self-bang-trims and took me from inky black to my natural streaky-grey. I am the kind of customer who has general idea, and prefers to defer to hair experts. Bexx is great at listening to what I want, brainstorming ideas, and then executing them. I always leave this place feeling gorgeous. As far as COVID goes, they are a responsible business who has been careful with protocols; they follow city masking regulations and make hand sanitizer available. I feel safe going there! read more

This is a great place and I had such a wonderful experience!! Sandra made my week so much brighter, she makes you feel so comfortable and her kindness is something special. She also rocked my color! Thank you so much!! :) read more

you cannot say that you do curly haircuts without having a certification. a master stylist cut my curls and it was very obvious they had no training in curly hair. read more

Abby is amazing!! I tried multiple different salons ever since moving to the area, and even though there weren't any disasters, nobody ever got my hair quite right. Abby instantly got my color/highlights exactly perfect, with minimal direction from me. She knows the level of work I am willing to put into upkeep for my hair (basically never style it, and highlights every 6 months), and colors it with that in mind. Not only that, she's hilarious and nice, definitely someone you want to spend a few hours with while she works her magic! Definitely my go-to stylist from now on. read more

Things I look for in a great salon and stylist: 1. The stylists themselves, have great hair 2. The salon space is well designed 3. The stylists have great design aesthetic in their own style (doesn't have to be like mine but has to be thoughtful/cohesive) *These things let me know they're passionate about hair and I think of any art, including hair, as being something that requires a great design eye 4. Stylists are honest with you and have opinions because they're awesome at what they do 5. Professional, respectful interactions between customers and stylists 6. Something that isn't insanely expensive Evie Salon has all of these things. Rebecca cut my hair and she has awesome style. She's honest and creative and she made my in between haircut (I'm growing out a side shave) something I'm excited about. Thanks Rebecca and Evie Salon! I'll be back in a month! read more

I recently did the Goldwell Kerasilk treatment with Sandra and I am in LOVE!! I've struggled with frizzy, curly, and unruly hair my whole life. Sandra applied this treatment and I left the salon with silky, straight, and soft hair. This whole week I've just been able to let it dry hair and I'm Zoom ready. ;) Sandra was also a pleasure to chat with and makes everyone in her chair feel comfortable and taken care of. Definitely going back for this treatment every 6 months -- I suggest it for anyone who is looking to add shine and manageability to their hair! read more

Abby is the best ! She's the only hair stylist I ever fully trusted with coloring my hair. I'm truly comfortable telling her, "do what you think is best," because I know she has great judgement. She's always advised me on what she thinks I should do to my hair and she has been honest, because she wants me to be satisfied. The first time I got my hair done by Abby, I was a brunette and I wanted to go blonde. Abby was 100% honest with me and told me that I could not achieve the color results I wanted with one or two visits...in the past, I've had hair stylist say they can make me blonde just so I can spend my money, but Abby did not do that. Abby worked with me to come up with a reasonable color transformation, which I was extremely happy with. read more

I went to Abby with a mess in my hair... it had by an unfortunate accident been turned pink which was not what I wanted. She quickly fixed it and made my hair look fabulous! I will not trust anyone else with my hair! She is amazing and I now have a wonderful cut and color. My hair looks healthy and it's so awesome to not have to worry when I go in, but know I'll come out looking and feeling great. Thank you Abby, I am so grateful to have found you! read more

I get my hair done by Abby. If you are a blonde I highly recommend her. She makes me feel so confident and I love going to see her! Her first priority is making you feel good! She is also being super safe and following guidelines for COVID and made me feel comfortable going back to the salon. read more

Evie Salon Studio - Highlights by Abby! - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I've seen Abbi multiple times since I came in with a horrible color accident and she worked WONDERS! Absolutely recommend. She completely saved my (not naturally) blonde hair. read more

Pros: Shoutout to the receptionists and shampoo lad--they were super friendly and great. Cons: Yvonne had cut my bangs for me before, but this was my first full cut with her. Given her experience, I expected her to have stronger instincts about cutting/what would be flattering for my face and hair type (thick, wavy). Even after a recut a few days later, she just didn't get the whole weight/angles/shape thing right for me. I also didn't feel very valued or respected. On top of the unflattering cuts, Yvonne didn't even ask my name until the shampoo lad came over to watch, and then, at my recut appointment, I learned that she thought I was unemployed (after we'd talked of my full-time job... twice). read more

Sandra is a great! She listens to what you want and is honest in her suggestions for what will work with your hair. She genuinely wants you to be happy and look your best, and you can tell from the time she spends on the details (like putting in layers, thinning out parts). My hair is naturally dry, frizzy, heavy, and a weird combo of straight plus wavy. I always leave with refreshed, defined layers and soft, shiny hair with volume. I forgot to take a "before" photo, but here's a comparison and what Sandra always delivers! read more

Evie Salon Studio - I forgot to take a "before" photo, but here's a comparison and what Sandra always delivers! - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Katherine Nguyen has been my stylist for almost a decade. She's why I have good hair. Think Haim sisters. Think 70s sexy. Lush. Healthy. Wild. Ralph Lauren glamour meets "I woke up like this" swagger. A decade ago, we met on Craigslist. She was fabulous, glamorous woman working at the Mandarin Oriental salon. I was an underemployed recent college grad with lofty aesthetics and lifestyle preferences who had realized "hair modeling" was the key to obtaining a free haircut whose market price was on par my weekly earnings. As a stylist, Katherine is technical, precise, she's both artist and engineer. She made magic and I've followed her ever since. Katherine Nguyen is also amazing with color. I'm a redhead and finding someone who understands the nuances of that hue is impossible. Katherine Nguyen blends these beautiful golden auburn tones for me. Her color is never flat - it's never purple, it's never clownish red. It's alive, think Irish Setter, meets Amy Adams, Isla Fisher, Jessica Chastain, Nicole Kidman, Florence Welch. Not Elmo, Chucky Finster or Lucille Ball. 10 years of stalking Katherine from salon to salon takes dedication. 10 years of sending her my nearest and dearest demonstrates trust. Call Katherine Nguyen, she does the best color in Boston. She's my It Grrrl. She's is goddess. An artist. She's the best. read more

At first, I was happy because the salon had a woman specializing in curly hair. She was a real deal, but that was over 4 years go and I only had one session with her. Ever since, every time I ask for a curly hair specialist I am given a different person each time who "loves working with curly hair", but they sure don't know how to properly do it. Instead of just honestly saying that they can't offer such a specialist the salon kept taking my money and delivering less than mediocre cuts. It's not easy sometimes to tell them in the face what you think of the job because they are so nice to you. But, man, please be realistic about your capabilities. It's not a cheap cut. Although it's very conveniently located, and the environment is nice, and people are friendly, I will not go there anymore due to poor results. read more

I have been going to Evie for a little over 1 year when I moved into the area. Sandra is amazing!! I always leave the salon feeling like a million bucks, my cut and style is always on point! She's warm and friendly and great to chat with, I would definitely recommend her! The salon is clean and inviting, and they have parking!!! read more

Not only do I love the haircut but it is truly low maintenance. The hair stylist explained to why cutting my hair this way would fit my natural wave and allow the hair to air dry into a good shape, and she is right! Can not be happier with the outcome. read more

A modern, hip salon- you will find that most of the stylists there rock do's that you always wish you could pull off. That's the first good sign of a good salon. I have had very traumatic experiences with my hair- color disasters and chops that were not as I requested. My most recent disaster left my thick wavy hair at shoulders length- a straight across cut. It was impossible to wear straight or wavy. I came to Evie's salon and had Sandra as a stylist. She listened to what I didn't want and helped me with a vision of growing my hair back out to a style I wanted. I have been back twice since and am happy to report that my hair is growing, healthy, and styled. Sandra is the stylist to go to! read more
