This is hands down my go-to salon for reviving my natural hair! From the moment I sit in the chair,…read moreI know I'm in good hands. They do an incredible job--my hair leaves feeling deeply moisturized, healthy, and thriving every single time. What really sets them apart is their professionalism and efficiency. They respect your appointment time, move with purpose, and still take the time to educate you about your hair type and proper care. It's rare to find a salon that combines speed, skill, and genuine care so seamlessly. If you're serious about your natural hair journey, Salon Hairapy is the place to be. Highly, highly recommend!

Let's start with the long wait time I came in for a trim, wash, and silk press, and I ended up…read morewaiting for hours. The shop owner doesn't seem to know when to turn people away. She keeps taking in new clients, leaving them sitting for hours, spending their entire day at the salon just to get their hair done. I came to Hair Therapy as someone who has struggled to maintain my 4B/4C hair. I arrived with my hair in its natural state under a bonnet. When it was time for the stylist to wash my hair, I removed my bonnet, and as soon as she saw my dry natural hair, she began showing visible signs of dissatisfaction as if she didn't want to do my hair or had never worked with Black hair before. This was shocking, especially since she is a Black woman herself, working in a Black-owned salon. She looked at my hair in disgust and immediately grabbed some detangler, saying she would work through it dry. I told her, "All you need to do is run some water through it and it will loosen up," but she continued huffing and puffing, clearly annoyed. Her body language made it obvious she didn't want to deal with my hair. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was fine but moments later, without any explanation, she walked out of the room and went to the front of the salon like she was about to pass out or cause a scene just to avoid finishing my hair. The situation felt disgusting and discriminatory. I was left sitting there with my neck tilted back in the wash bowl, starting to cramp, until another stylist came over to finish washing my hair. When I asked what was wrong with the first stylist, she brushed it off like it was nothing. I've never felt so uncomfortable in a place that was supposed to be welcoming to someone like me, as a Haitian-American woman. It was absolutely the worst salon experience I've ever had, and no woman should ever have to go through that level of unprofessionalism. The owner claims her salon is "inclusive" and "different from others," yet even during my negative experience, she bragged about how she could move to newbury street and raise her prices because people "keep complaining" about them when, honestly, for the quality of service provided, the prices are not worth it. In the end, my silk press only lasted two days. Overall, it was a terrible experience that has haunted me since.

Continue reading for more details ----- Ambience/Atmosphere: A+ Cleanliness: A+ Customer Service:A+ Overall Rating: A+ Ambience/Cleanliness Studio 27 "downsized" to being just Blessing and her husband and it was a BRILLIANT move. The salon is a gorgeous open concept set up with Blessing being the only stylist it there is plenty of room. It is also gorgeously decorated, it's not just a hole in the wall shop...they clearly took a lot of pride in picking out the color and decor of this salon. Customer Service Making an appointment online is super easy and Shawn (the receptionist) is friendly and always willing to answer questions and concerns. Blessing is super friendly and professional. When I get my hair done I love having a stylist I can chat but, I also want my hair to be done in a timely fashion and Blessing finds a good balance of keeping it moving but also but also making her clients feel pampered and not rushed. Overall ratiing This is a great salon! Like I said, Blessing keeps things moving! Your appointment starts right on time and you'll feel comfortable while in the salon. I couldn't ask for more in hair salon.

She is horrible for doing that.

I came to Sheena with damaged hair and she has restored my hair back to health over the years. I have not experienced any breakage ever since I have been with her.

I see that most if not all of the other reviews are from actual female clients. Well, as the husband of one of Sharita's clients, I want to give her a shout out for her EXCELLENT, ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICE to my wife. Down through the years Sharita has used natural methods to give my wife beautiful waves and curls and has been very accommodating to my wife when scheduling changes were needed. I have been so appreciative to Sharita for her professionalism and kindness to my wife that I prayed her business would prosper bountifully, and one day, I gave her an extra tip matching the cost of my wife's appointment. Guys, take note: bring your wives or lady friends to the Loft Hair Studio for the holidays (372 Medford St Somerville, MA 02145). She AND YOU will both be very pleased!

I was using all the wrong hair products, I had heat damage, I wasn't sure what to do with my hair or how to take care of it, and I didn't know how best to sleep with my hair at night to get it to last. I've learned so much education about my hair and curls from Sharita at The Loft and it wouldn't have happened without this salon. After consistently taking care of my curls, they're amazing now. Pros: - Very educational - Diverse salon (natural hair salon, but people from all backgrounds attend) - Versatile style options (wash and go, twist out, up do, hair color, hair cuts, etc). So many options. - Friendly staff - Online booking - Detail of product offerings that work for my hair - I love that I'm always asked if I want definition or volume for my hair - Appointment only (no walk-ins). You don't have to wait hours before sitting in a chair to get your hair done.

It wasn't until the sink I realized she had used a drug store relaxer! I was horrified! This should be illegal. If I wanted to use a $15 box relaxer, I wouldn't have made an appointment with a professional. Obviously, she made a tidy profit because she charged me the fee of a professional stylist. WTH. I believe my hair is indeed damaged.

She specializes in all kinds of "difficult" or "ethnic" hair. Your Hair Salon is one of the few legitimately multicultural hair places I've seen, period. Overall, I thought Your Hair Salon was great for what it was, a student friendly safe place in the sea of Harvard Square's bourgeois boutique culture. Bernice is truly trying to cater to Harvard students. Hence, it's excellent for last minute press and curls, regular maintenance, lazy days when you just don't feel like a thirty minute T ride just for a hairdo, and general hair cuts. However, if you need serious results and are willing to pay for them, you would do better to venture out of Harvard Square and tap into the wealth of other black hair options in the Boston area.

I was a bit apprehensive because I've never had anything done to my hair (other than haircuts). But Nancy has amazing skill and the ability to make you feel comfortable the minute you walk in.

My hair looks beautiful, and feels just like the real thing. When I walked home, I had a little extra bounce in my step. Now that Nancy splits her time between Boston and Atlanta, she makes great effort to come back every month to service her Boston clients. That is the mark of a stylist who has a true connection to her clients, and truly has a passion for her art. I'm officially a big fan!

I color my own hair and usually catch crap about it from whatever stylist I go to. Not today. She was really nice but was clearly out of practice with long straight hair.
