Farah Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

This was my first visit to Farah's salon to get my hair trim, and I was 120% satisfied. I found Farah to be genuinely fantastic as a hairdresser, as an artist, and as a person. I was very impressed with the way she listened to my hair problems, suggested organic solutions, trim my hair very carefully (but with confidence), and sent me positive vibes through a fun conversation entire time. All of the oil paintings in the shop were draw by Farah, and just by looking at the delicacy of the lines and richness of the colors, you can tell that she is a talented artist. She has been helping her grandmother's salons since she was a little girl, so in addition to her artistic sense, her skill is extraordinary. I've made an appointment for the next visit to get highlights done! The COVID-19 procedure she takes was also comprehensive. There was only one customer at the store who was almost done when I arrived at the salon. After the customer, Farah and her assistant took the time to sanitize the entire booth/equipment. After that, I was the only customer at the store until the end. I found Farah to be thoroughly following the CDC guidelines against COVID. read more

Kismik did a fabulous job on my hair color and cut. She's such a wonderful person and a true professional. She listens to you and makes great suggestions which I sometimes appreciate especially from experts. Today was my second visit and she's a keeper. I was fortunate to have met Farah( the owner) and the other ladies who work there. They are all so much great people and so welcoming. The salon is very clean, the coffee was great and the people so down to earth and professionals. I definitely recommend the place without any reservations. read more

Farah Hair Salon is by far the best salon in the Watertown- greater Boston area. I traditionally cut and colored my own hair for past 8 years and many periods of time in my life. I am picky who I trust. I was referred to Farah by another working professional woman with great hair, of course. I took a chance in the summer of 2018...and WOW! The pics speak louder than my words! I normally have curly, frizzy brown hair, w/ some occasional hues. Now, I can be sleek-straight or have the occasional wavy look with amazing rich color. Either way- so happy and the look she creates can be so versatile and easy to manage. Farah just took the leap...she finally opened her own salon to set her own path with another partner at Farah Hair Salon at 415 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, MA. Farah Hair Salon specializes in hair color, cut, blowouts, eyebrows, makeup and much more. Call or text (857) 259-0885 for an appointment. You will not be disappointed! read more

Literally the worst hair experience I've ever had (and I'm in my mid-'50s and have had my hair done at many salons in many countries). I was from out of town and this salon got a high rating so I called it. Iasked for a 1.30 pm appointment because I had a wedding at 4.30 pm. They said they couldn't take me in till 2 pm but they could get me out by 3 pm. So I took it. I got there right on the dot. But the woman who was supposed to do my hair had literally just started the highlights on another client. She told me to wait, which I did for 10 minutes when someone washed my hair. She told me that the stylist (I think it was Farah herself but I'm not sure) was very fast and would have me out on time. This was the first bad sign....I told her that I didn't want her to rush. She said she wouldn't. She's just quick, which was the only true thing they uttered. Farah (?) set aside her highlight customer and took me...She told me very proudly that I was her 11th client that day, which was another bad sign. All I wanted was a blow dry with some volumizing and teasing on the crown. She said that was no problem, she was an expert and I would be very happy and that my style would last 3 days. She started at 2.15 and 2.30 she told me I was done! I was in shock. I literally looked like I'd just got out of bed. My hair was flat and untidy. I told her that the hair did not look right and she needed to fix it. She made some lame attempt to smooth it out on the front and tease it some more but it was clearly not working. By 2.37 she gave up....Charged me $35 and told me I looked great. The only positive thing was that she left me some time to get back to my hotel to fix my own hair. The staff was friendly and sweet....But they talk up a tall tale and don't deliver. read more

She did amazing job on my hair. I love the highlights she did. I got so many compliments on that.

I went to Farrah hair salon for the first time yesterday and I definitely will not go back. I trusted the good reviews on google and I was like let me try this place. First time when I called and asked her about haircut prices she told me that it will cost around $45. So I made an appointment and went there. She had two clients at the salon one of them wasn't weren't a mask. A little later her other client walked in to the salon also wasn't wearing a mask. She was kept saying that they got their vaccine. Ok! But that doesn't mean that they can be in the salon without a mask. The place was not clean at all. Yes she is nice and friendly but that is not enough. So when I spoke with her she told me that wash cut blow dry will cost $45 but she charge me $75. What a difference! She only spend about 15 minutes for my hair and charge me $75. Hair cut was not too good because she had three other clients besides me and she was rushing and she used hair straightener instead of blow drying my hair. Well I could do that too. So long story short I'm highly disappointed about Farrah Hair Salon and I will not return. read more

Got a keratin treatment done with Hayas and I love it so much! Hayas is very thorough in her technique and instructions on making the treatment last longer. She was done in an 2 hours and a half which is much faster than the last time I did it at a different salon. My hair is so smooth and straight now -- I've already gotten a few compliments on it! I plan on returning in 6 months to do it again! read more

I just had my haircut done at Farah's gaur salon and it's lovely.. She is wonderful person, talented hair dresser. This was my 2nd time there and I. Have had a great experience both times.., The Salon is very clean and she is following up with all the PPE necessary to operate as a safe and healthy business.. I highly recommend her! read more

I rarely leave a review for any place but felt compelled to do so here. 5-star keratin treatment all the way! I've gone to quite a few high-end hair salons and spent a significant amount money doing so, only for the results not to be exactly what I wanted or even lasting as long as they are marketed to. I naturally have thick, curly hair which when straightening it (I was told)could take up time and a bit of product. I will be forever grateful that I was referred to Farah and her salon. I went in with hair that was dry, frizzy and quite frankly was losing hope. The environment was welcoming, full of great energy, and made me feel right at home on the first visit. Farah assessed my hair, actually listened, educated me on my hair, took her time, and was THOROUGH! In the past I've had stylists do a half-a**** job on my hair because they were rushing or didn't want the results to last as long so I'd have to come back often and keep spending more money with them. I did not experience this here. I was shocked at how great my hair turned out after just one visit! It went from dry, frizzy, and coarse to extremely soft, straight, and naturally healthy looking after just one visit! My hair has remained that way even after multiple washes and using product in it(which has hardened my hair in the past). I'm still stunned in the best possible way. Thank you Farah! Thank you for your expertise, your kindness, your professionalism, and your talent. You have gained a new client and that's an understatement. read more

Farah gave me the best haircut I think I've ever had-- she just knew what I wanted without me having to overly explain. The blow dry was better than any blowout I've ever had even at blow dry bars. I'm so happy to have found this place and will definitely be going back! read more

I'm from San Diego, and visit my son in Boston. I reached out Farah Hair Salon Instagram page. I got a response right away. She made me feel so comfortable the entire time and enthusiastic about dying hair. I am so happy with my haircut and color. Farah did an amazing job giving me exactly what I wanted. The entire experience from start to finish was fabulous. Absolutely top class job. This is honestly my favorite salon I've been to. Can't wait to come back to Boston and see you Farah Hair Salon. Thanks My dear Farah read more

Farah Hair Salon - My platinum highlight hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I visited Farah Hair Salon for the first time today and had a lovely experience! I made an appointment there because my old salon sadly went out of business, and I read many positive reviews about Farah's. My appointment was at 9am and Farah told me she had been cleaning since 6. Everything was sparkling clean, and she disinfected the bottoms of my shoes and we both wore gowns and masks (she also had a hair net). She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it (cut off the split ends, reshaping, and long layers) and also did a beautiful job on my eyebrows. She was extremely welcoming, friendly, kind, and conscientious. I already scheduled my next appointment for 2 months from now, and plan to become a regular client! read more

Farah is masterful-- I have very coarse and curly hair-- which she managed to tame and smooth so I finally feel happy with the way I look. I'm beyond impressed with her talent and her caring nature. I'll be back! read more

My 1st visit went fine. I was in early and I guess that helped because by the 2nd visit, any hope I had of using this place as my regular hairdresser went out the window. Farah was either overbooked or this is the usual operating plan. It was first thing in the morning like my first visit. The color was left in my hair for over an hour. Not good with blonde highlights. She put on some mask on my hair later and mumbled something about it not being orange! Pretty sure she was fixing a color mistake. She was too distracted cutting my hair to listen to input and took a break while myself and another client were sitting there to have coffee & a snack with a friend. We both had treatments in our hair and she didn't explain she was taking a break out of courtesy to us. Nothing. So whatever. Fine. I waited for her to finish. After finishing though, she continued talking to this person and was too distracted to listen to any input from me. She hacked at my hair. Left the bottom so uneven that when I was sitting there I told her. Again she didn't listen and started chopping layers into the top part of my hair. At that point I let her stop cutting because I could tell I wasn't being heard and was afraid the cut would end up much worse. I was already not going to go back but the cherry on the cake was when I went up to pay. She charged $45 more than my previous visit 6 weeks earlier. I asked why and she had no real explanation. $225. Beware! She won't give you a price list if you ask for one. I didn't see one posted anywhere. Not sure that's legal. If Farah is having a quiet day you might get a decent haircut. But I would not send anyone there. Unfortunately it looks like raking in dollars from newer clients and keeping preferred clients happy is the business plan here. read more

Farah is an amazing beautician when it comes to hair, she knows how to work with your hair and style that suits your face. Absolutely amazing!! Does not disappoint every time I visit her! read more

I love what Farah did with my dry and frizzy covid hair. I got a smoothing treatment and trim and it's so soft and low maintenance now. I enjoy talking to her and how she makes me feel good about myself while she cares for my hair. I won't go to anyone else. read more

It's challenging finding a stylist that isn't intimidated by my tight curls. I found Farah by chance and she was able to straighten my hair in less than 40 minutes, where typically it takes others over an hour. It came out shiny, bouncy and full of life. She is also knowledgeable, kind, and uses top of the line products. Highly recommend! read more

Farah is an amazing stylist . She is the only one who is honest about what looks good on you and she is great in every thing she does . I love her new salon. It's small but it's very welcoming . Will definitely go back and recommend it to every one who wants to have the best cut and color read more

If you are looking for a good hair salon, I recommend going to Farah. She is not only a professional, but also is an artist. If you do not know what you want, trust her suggestion and follow her advice. But if you know exactly what you want, you must exactly tell her or even show her your model's picture. read more
