Note: Anita's chairs are tucked in the back of the Capelli Salon (can be hard to find from the outside) Visited Anita for my first eyebrow threading and she was fantastic! I didn't have any specific requests, but she reassured me that she'd make my eyebrows look great and she delivered. It was quick, easy, and painless -- I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I'm glad to find Isabel through Yelp and had been coming to Isabel for my haircuts ever since I relocated to Boston last summer. 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. read more

I wish I could give Anita 10 stars! I've been to dozens of places in New York and Boston over the past 8 years and Anita is without a doubt the best of all of them. She's always very efficient, transparent with wait times if there is one, and does a flawless job at a very affordable price. Best service and best price in the area. I feel like a new woman every time she does my brows. And she is the sweetest! Thanks Anita! read more

Isabel is hands down the BEST hair stylist I've had in my entire life. I'm extremely picky with my hair - over the last decade I've lived in San Francisco and Manhattan and have tried a bunch of salons there, as well as on work assignments in Hong Kong and Mumbai, and Isabel beats anywhere I've gone before. She offers kind suggestions on types of cuts, gives great tips on hair health, and charges extremely fair prices. Due to the pandemic she has moved to a new salon right around the corner, at 27 Mount Auburn Street. You can text her directly to make appointments at (617) 913 - 8345. I've been going to her exclusively for three years now, and have referred dozens of friends since, all of whom are now regular customers (she does haircuts for all genders, and curly hair as well). Text her asap to make an appointment - your hair will be endlessly grateful! read more

Isabel is a fantastic hair stylist and finally a business owner. She was my hair stylist for many years. Extremely customer oriented, polite and talented. Great location, inexpensive for the quality and she was always able to accommodate my schedule. Isabel can work with Asian hair, brazilian, virtually any type of hair. I recommend Anita, eyebrows and waxing... She is a girl you are looking for! I didn't try their foot relaxation yet. Good luck Ladies, you are the Best! read more

Looking for eyebrow threading? This is your place!! I called ahead to see if they took walk-ins and they were able to squeeze me in immediately. They did a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier with my brows. They are shaped so nicely and she evened them out for me. So gentle too- I barely felt a thing and usually threading hurts really badly for me. Best part- it only costs $10! I wish I was local so I could come back here regularly but I was just in town for a visit. They take credit and you can tip on the card too which is convenient. Would have loved to get a haircut as well but their stylist unfortunately was not in that day. Hopefully next time! read more

Bottom line: this is a no-frills salon. I scheduled a cut with Isabel. She is a very sweet woman! She double washed my hair and the shampoo/scalp massage was AMAZING. There was no consultation before or after my wash really. She asked me what I wanted and explained (I got 3inches off and kept long layers). She immediately went to work and I was in and out in about 40mins. I got barebones what I asked for and she blew it dry. I was surprised by lack of product. I got a curl cream applied to the ends and that is it(not even a heat protectant before the blow dry). She did give me a few sage tips I'll take with me. And I really liked her as a person but I didn't get the full haircut experience I typically like. You get what you pay for. No frills, no ambiance, no high end products. But a decent haircut...best part was shampoo--chills. read more

I'm a bit torn to be honest. I used to come here to get my eyebrows done, but I have recently stopped because I'm not a big fan of their style. My eyebrows are on the thicker end and can get a bit out of control so I like them to be on the thinner end when I get them done (I can always fill them in a bit if I need to). Anita's style is more natural so I always left feeling like my eyebrows had not actually been "done." I mentioned my desire for more "shaped" eyebrows a few times at the end of my appointment, but I never really got the result I was looking for. This is just my style though - if you have very thin/light eyebrows or prefer that "natural" look then this place is probably a good fit for you! Anita is very nice and it was generally easy to make appointments, even last minute ones. I also stopped coming here because of the price. Supposedly $10 is cheap for the area, but it's really ~$12 with tip and everywhere else outside of Boston that I've been to does eyebrows for only $6 or so. So, for me, this was on the pricier end for something I wasn't completely satisfied with. My recommendation would be to check it out and see if this is a good fit for you! read more

I got a great haircut here! I came in without much of an idea in mind of what I wanted and the hair stylist gave me suggestions for a look I really liked. I had to wait for a bit even though I had booked my haircut since there was only one stylist. My only complaint is that communication was a bit difficult and I wasn't sure what the stylist was asking or suggesting a few times, but I would definitely return for another cut! read more

Got my hair cut by Nasim today and he did an incredible job! The price was great, he was super nice, the atmosphere was pleasant, and he understood what I wanted done to my hair exactly (long layers). I would highly recommend! read more

Everyone is so nice in here and the girls do a great job with threading. Isabel and Anita were very patient with me and actually listened to me when I told them I was trying to grow my eyebrows out more. One month later, and my eyebrows still look awesome and are growing out just how I want them. So happy I found this little salon! And their prices are very reasonable! Btw, they are very gentle too so it doesn't at all read more

I chose to go to this place to get a brazilian and my eyebrows threaded as it was located right across the street from where I live and it was reasonably priced. I'm so happy I did! After coming here a few times, Anita felt like family. Not only that, she did a clean job. I tend to be a little particular about my eyebrows and she was very accommodating with making any small tweaks. I no longer live in Cambridge but I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone! read more

I go to Anita for my eyebrows. She's super sweet and threads my eyebrows really well! Glad I found my eyebrow person that's a 10 min walk from where I live! read more

Anita Gallery Salon - I love my eyebrows - Hair Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Great haircuts from Isabel, who's very friendly and chatty. I've been twice and both times felt I received a great cut (short and layered) for a good price! I always call ahead to schedule. read more

Isabel and Anita are so nice and welcoming. Anita did a fantastic threading job on my eyebrows. She explained how the last person who had threaded my eyebrows didn't quite do them right so they were too straight and flat. She cleaned mine up and said to let them grow for 5 weeks and then she'll thread them again and they'll be perfect. That's the dream right there, perfect brows! So I will definitely be back. They take credit cards but you cannot tip on the card so I recommend bringing some cash because you'll definitely want to tip for such excellent service! read more

Got so many compliments on my brows after having them done by Anita! It's also $12 which is a decent price for the area. Would highly recommend. read more

I love this place! I've moved away from Boston and am seriously considering coming back for my next haircut :).

I definitely recommend Isabel and Anita Gallery. A friend of mine talked to me about how wonderful Isabel hairdresser is and she was right. Isabel has strong professional skills, always listens what hairstyle you want and makes a fabulous haircut and color. I usually get highlights and my hair looks fantastic. Isabel,has more than 20 years of working experience. I receive a lot of compliments when I get my haircut, color and style from Isabel. She is a JEWEL. Anita is also great in her area as aesthetician. Bravo ! What a successful pair!!! read more

Isabel is a sweetheart & you won't find these haircut prices anywhere else in the area. I needed a trim & she did just that and I'm glad i didn't go to some fancy place because she did a great job & I'll certainly be back. TIP: she is booked a lot though so call earlier & she also is moving locations so keep that in mind! read more

Best eyebrow threading in Cambridge. Anita does an excellent job! I religiously come here at least once a month and always come out happy with my eyebrow. Space is clean and price is very decent. Totally recommend read more

They messed up my eyebrows. I came in asking for a clean and the lady made it extremely thin and uneven. It will take me weeks to grow them out now. I'm extremely upset. read more

I am absolutely not the person who would write reviews, but this one is a must! This is an amazing little find! Isabel is a very talented and amazing stylist. She accommodated my hair color request last minute and even stayed over regular hours. She treated my hair so gently and also gave me a blow dry. I loved her service and the way she colored my hair. I've been coloring my hair in the roots to cover grey since childhood, and I've never found a salon and a stylist who does such an amazing job! I highly recommend her! read more

Lovely service for reasonable prices! Love the cut I got and had a wonderful time chatting with my stylist!!

Isabel has been cutting my hair for years, and recently opened her own salon with Anita who does waxing, massage, and facials. Isabel is very dedicated and I'm always pleased with her work. The salon is walking distance from Harvard Square. It's in a bright, clean, and pleasantly decorated space. Isabel and Anita are both warm and inviting. The atmosphere is comfortable, low key, and prices are affordable. If you want a quality haircut without the stuffiness of a high end salon, you'll love this place. read more

I have gone here almost every Time for the past two years and I won't go anywhere else. I always get my brows done just prefect and I'm so happy with my treatment read more

This is a great, clean, and well-priced place for threading and waxing in the Harvard/Cambridge area. Anita is warm and friendly, and contributes to the comfortable atmosphere of the place. I've been here multiple times for both threading and waxing, and very happy with the service! read more

First time getting my eyebrows threaded in Harvard square since moving to Boston for college. Very impressed by this place! They are very gentle and professional and the shop is extremely clean. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their brows done! And only for $10 too! (Cheaper than other places around here) read more

Anita was awesome and very friendly during my appointment for waxing. I'll definitely visit again :)

have never had someone figure out exactly how i'd like my hair with my rough guidelines. Anita's brilliant with the scissors, and welcoming to boot. read more

Isabel is wonderful and cut my hair exactly how I like it. My hair can be very difficult to cut. I highly recommend her.

I got waxing and threading from Anita. She is absolutely great! Very reasonable price too.

Great for waxing! Half the price of anywhere else in the area and just as good. My skin is very sensitive and they're always very kind about minimizing the pain, giving me soothing aloe afterward, etc. They're also very quick: I'm in and out in 30 min tops. Great service, kind staff, super reasonable prices. I'll be going here forever! read more

Anita is incredible for eyebrow threading and waxing. The place is affordable and fast, no other place in Cambridge can compare.

Went there for the first time today for a haircut. Isabel was very friendly and listened to my requests. We also had a great conversation. The price is very good for the quality. I would definitely recommend this place and plan on going back. Even though Isabel speaks English, if you get a cut from her just make sure to explain what you'd like in a clear and simple way and check to see if she understood because sometimes she might miss a word or two (you can also speak Spanish with her as that's her native language). read more

Fast, no frills waxing. I was lucky to get a same-day appointment because they seemed to be busy. The woman was super efficient, warm, focused, and thorough. The pricing was perfect -- everywhere else is so expensive and overpriced, with unnecessarily frills. This place is my new go to. read more

This review is for Anita's threading services. I initially was nervous to come to a new place for eyebrow threading, but Anita was wonderful, and I'm sad I only found her so shortly before I have to move away! As I'm sure many can relate, I was nervous about too much being removed and my eyebrows being made too thin, as this can often happen even after you clarify you just want a little cleaned up on the sides. Anita assured me this would not be the case, and sure enough, she did an awesome job! Shockingly, she only charged $10, $2 cheaper than the average around here. Her facilities were also clean and she worked very efficiently. I was a very satisfied with her service and will be returning as long as I can. read more

Quick and inexpensive waxing. Great service! Please don't expect a fancy spa like atmosphere - come here if you want someone efficient to do the job quickly for an affordable price. read more

Isabel has been my barber for 7 years. She is great! Not only do I love the way she cuts my hair, she also helped cure my oily hair and oily scalp, a problem I had had for 10 years! read more
