It's so hard to find someone to cut my hair. I have different curl patterns in the front and back. My hair grows slowly and I have been to multiple different Deva Curl stylists, from Boston, Acton, lexington, and now Waltham. When I went to Shear Tranquility the first time (I have been twice so far) I hadn't had my hair cut in over a year. When I left the salon my hair was healthy and shaped. The photos taken were from a family photoshoot a week after I went to Lisa for my second cut read more

Lisa was amazing. She listened to what I wanted and gave me a great haircut! She really understood my hair type and she gave me some great haircut care advice. Her salon has an intimate and relaxed vibe. I highly recommend her services. read more

Lisa is - hands down - the best stylist in the greater Waltham / Lexington / Belmont area. She's kind, accommodating, and I get compliments on my hair all the time. She's become a dear friend after cutting my hair, every month, for the last 15+ years. read more

Nice business owner. Good cut but not satisfied with highlights. Could barely tell the difference. I did ask for soft/subtle highlights but that still should mean a lift in color or brightness. The color was honestly barely noticeable - I thought the highlights didn't take. so it felt like a waste of money and time. read more

In the area for a wedding and booked an appointment at Shear Tranquility for my daughter. The owner could not have been nicer and more engaging. She did a fantastic job with the styling and my daughter was thrilled. I would highly recommend Shear Tranquility. Great experience! read more

I hate, hate, hate getting my hair colored or cut. No matter how hard I try, I can't explain the color or cut that I want. How bad is it? I will go six months between visits to the salon. For two years, the only place I would get my hair done was New York City, and, yes, that was expensive. But now, I have found the salon that gets me. Amazing work, personalized service, and wow, such a good price. Bye, bye New York! read more

Excellent customer service! Lisa took great care of my hair and made sure I received the cut I was looking for. Love that my hair feels so soft after wash/cut and regular blowdry; I definitely love my haircut! Being new to the nighborhood (Waltham, MA) I researched thoroughly in different websites since I was searching for a locally owned hair salon that offered quality, attention and great customer service at a reasonable price and I am really glad I found Lisa at Shear Tranquility Salon! read more

Lisa is the most talented hair colorist and stylist in the Boston area. She has an incredible eye to understand the color you want and need. I have been to many stylists in the past without real understanding my color needs. She gets it! Very sweet personality and always professional. The place is clean and cozy. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful hair transformation. Thank you Lisa! read more

Shear Tranquility Salon - Beautiful salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

Awesome cut!! Did the deva cut - I've never had someone actually "do" curly hair. First time here and Lisa was great, listened to what I wanted, and was so personable. Also extremely clean - wiped down everything with bleach in between! read more

Lisa is AMAZING! I went to the salon before she took it over so I figured I give her a try. I haven't gone anywhere since. We always talk through what I'm looking for in a haircut and every time I walk out with what I want looking awesome! I have never received as many compliments on my hair before coming here. I'm not one to usually do color, but I wanted to have some nice highlights for my wedding day. We once again talked through it and she made me feel really comfortable in the decision. My hair looked FANTASTIC on my wedding day and was so happy I went with the highlights. I would recommend her any day any time! read more

Thank you Yelp for yet another 5 star. Lisa was amazing. Her Deva Curl cut is legit and intuition on color was spot on and better. She took her time getting to know my hair, and me; making me feel comfortable. She knows her stuff! Looking forward to a long relationship between she be my hair. read more

I love this place, my mom recommended it to me and it's really the best. Lisa is so good at what she does, she is super nice and makes you feel good about yourself. She really listens to what you want. I always feel super relaxed when I'm here, it makes me want to get my hair done way more often than I even need to! She's a really good person who is also really good at her job, I recommend her salon highly! read more

Lisa was absolutely lovely to meet and listened closely to what I was looking for. She advised and asked questions without pushing for any particular direction, and was warm and friendly throughout. She took care to explain how she was blowing out and styling my hair so that I could best replicate it at home. All in all, it was a really great experience! Glad I found her on Yelp. read more

I learned about this place through Yelp and thought to give it a try. I haven't done any colors in my hair for over 2 years and wanted a change. I was going for a subtle ombré. So, I made an appointment and came to see Lisa. Lisa counts 15 min into each appointment for consultations, which is great. We talked, I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she explained to me the steps and the price. She was very thorough and ver friendly. She did my hair, offered me water and a granola bar and got my hair done while chatting away with me. When I decided to get my hair a little lighter a couple of days later, she fit me into her schedule, did my hair for free and threw in a bottle of shampoo to take away the brassiness, though the reddish undertones were not her fault, they are naturally there in my hair. But Lisa wanted to make sure I was happy! All in all, Lisa is a wonderful person and an extremely talented hairdresser who's both professional and friendly. I highly recommend her to be your next ( and favorite) stylist! Thanks, Lisa! read more

Just moved to Massachusetts and was really worried about finding someone to cut and color my hair. I typically go every 6 weeks so didn't have a lot of time to find someone. I read the reviews for Lisa and emailed using the contact link on her website. She responded right away - asked me what I needed and what my color was like and scheduled an appointment. The place is small and friendly and not intimidating at all. I don't like snobby hair salons -never felt comfortable. I left Lisa's place feeling like I made a friend. And my hair - very thick, wavy and hard to cut - looks good. I just started a new job and I feel confident knowing that I look good when I get to work after an hour long commute. I'll be going back to Lisa. read more

I probably went to Lisa on an off day, since everyone raves about her. She was hardly tranquil, more like a nervous wreck. She put some guck all over my hair and looked terrified when a regular customer came in, likely because she would see the cut and guck all over my scalp. Truly a horrible cut. read more

Lisa is the best! She's been cutting my hair since 2005, and I'll never go to anyone else; I've followed her everywhere there were even times I went to her home for a cut when she was in between salons, and even considered flying to Colorado when she moved there for a short time! In more recent years, I decided to highlight my hair for the first time and Lisa did an absolutely amazing job. I even trusted her when she suggested I try ombré... I loved it and got so many compliments. I honestly can't recommend Lisa more highly. Give Shear Tranquility a try...you will not be disappointed!! read more

You can't go wrong getting your hair cut, colored or just styled by Lisa! I've been with her for over 10 years and won't see anyone else. She is that good! The whole family comes here. read more

Came to see Lisa with a few ideas but not really knowing what I wanted to do with my hair..... Lisa looked at all the pictures and came up with a mix of everything I was showing her..... Very professional and my hair came out AMAZING! Thank you Lisa for the AMAZING work you did with my hair!!! I will definitely be back to see her again!!! read more

I found Lisa kind of by accident. I used to be a client at the salon before she took over it, and called to make an appointment. Lisa answered, and told me that she was in the process of taking over the salon, and so, I decided to be spontaneous and make an appointment with her. I've been going to her for haircuts since last summer, and I couldn't be happier! She's extremely professional, sweet, and really listens to what I want in a haircut. Plus, she's just a pleasure to talk to. I've never been one to chat away to my hair stylist, especially if it's someone I don't know too well, but Lisa is just really easy to talk to. I've been extremely happy with my haircuts, too. I always leave feeling like I got the haircut that I asked for. Her prices are reasonable, and I feel really good about supporting a fellow small business owner while she establishes herself in Waltham. read more

Lisa is the best in Mass....great listener, executing on the exact look you want

Your best hair? Easy. Lisa, salon owner and experienced stylist, will listen carefully, make recommendations, and then cut and color, provide styling tips, and recommend products. Result: polished, sexy, behaving tresses! I'm a happy customer. read more

Fantastic! I'm so happy I found Lisa! She is professional and knows exactly what she is doing. I told her what I wanted and showed her a few pictures and gave me a style I love and is easy to work with! The color is beautiful, I have received so many compliments on the color and style. I will highly recommend Lisa! read more

I moved back to the area and was looking for a hair stylist. I found Shear Tranquility on a walk around the neighborhood. I wanted to play with adding some highlights to my hair color to get rid of those annoying strands of gray. I, however, was very timid about coloring my hair. Lisa listened to what I was saying, started me with a partial foil and after three visits, I have continued to get bolder with my color and love it. To put it simply and in the words of my husband "Wow, your hair really looks great and like it was done by a professional that really cares". What more can I say. That is Lisa's way! read more

Excellent!!!!! Great attention. I got an amazing hair cut, beautiful color, and the best blow dry. Thank you lisa.

Thank you Lisa for the BEST haircut I've ever had! This haircut was a total change from my usual and of course I was a little nervous. But Lisa is a patient listener, talented artist and she did a fantastic job. So happy with the results - thank you Lisa! read more
