Update: for some reason, the last time I went for a haircut here she charged me $55 when before I only 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. read more
