I've had 3 haircuts by Renu so far, and I go out of my way to have her cut my hair. She has a good sense of what will be flattering on me. I always get compliments on my cuts. There's also a little gift shop section with interesting items. read more

Yesterday, I took my son to this salon for a haircut. Prior to the appointment, I confirmed over the phone that he would qualify for junior pricing, given his age. However, once the haircut began, the owner, Kiran, abruptly stated that adult pricing would apply (guessing due to the length of his hair). If hair length impacts pricing, that should be clearly communicated upfront--not once the client is already in the chair. We brought a reference photo of a Korean men's haircut, and Kiran mentioned that she was familiar with the style. Trusting her confidence, we allowed her to proceed. Unfortunately, the result was nothing like the photo and, more importantly, not at all what we expected. As the cut progressed, I became concerned with how much hair was being taken off, but hoped the top layer of hair that was still remaining would redeem it. That was a huge mistake. The end result was by far the worst haircut my son has ever received. I had planned to get my hair cut as well, but after seeing my son's, I decided I would never want Kiran to touch my hair. For someone who is marketed as a master stylist, the outcome was incredibly disappointing and certainly not worth the $60 we paid (she was charging $65 but I was able to use the 20% first time customer coupon to reduce the price). Frankly, I wouldn't want this haircut on my son even if it were free. Confidence in your craft is one thing, but it should be paired with careful listening, clear communication, and a willingness to double-check before making irreversible decisions. Sadly, none of that happened here. We will definitely not be returning. If I could give zero stars for this salon, I would. read more

This salon has really good customer service. Initially had an issue with a haircut. They were able to fix it. Really went above and beyond to make sure the customer was happy. read more

Friendly atmosphere is what you'll find here! My friends highly recommended Sringar. My first appointment was nearly a year ago. I was impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. I enjoy my time here and regularly return to upkeep my Bob haircut. Not to mention, having a partial dimensional color. Give this amazing minority owned salon a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Came in to fix a bad hair cut (from another place), and the owner listened carefully, styled skillfully, and made sure I was taken care of throughout the process. She's aware of current trends and helped the cut transition well, presenting a plan for the next cut so that I knew where we'd end up when the bad cut finished growing out. Looking forward to working with them more in the future - great place! read more

This review is for Mina's eyebrow threading, but also to talk about the fancy new location and the precautions the business owner is taking. I was able to make a last minute online appointment through the new booking system for eyebrow threading so I walked over. I arrived and the business owner told me where to put my coat. Then she sprayed my hands with hand sanitizer and took my temperature. Mina brought me to her room and pulled fresh paper onto the table. I laid back and she got to work cleaning up my horrendous mess of eyebrow hairs. I came in looking like Frida Kahlo and left looking like Kim Kardashian. Okay, not really like Kim Kardashian, but a girl can dream, right? Anyway, I feel fancy and pampered and I felt safe while in the salon. Also, I'll be back here soon for a pedicure since I found out there's only one client in the nail room at a time. read more

Mina is THE GURU of coloring. She's truly in a league of her own. Her attention to detail is unmatched. I have never received so many compliments on my hair color before! I was looking for a local salon to support and was truly blown away by my experience at Sringar. The salon is gorgeous. It's incredibly clean and I definitely felt safe with all of the covid precautions in place. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they also do eyebrow threading. They were so accommodating that I was able to have my eyebrows tinted and threaded upon request immediately after my hair cut and color. I would highly recommend this salon. read more

I had an awful experience at this salon. I asked for a 3-4 inch cut and the woman cut double. She began blow drying my hair without putting any product in it. I had to ask for heat protectant. As soon I stepped out of that place, my hair became so frizzy. I should've known she didn't take hair care seriously by the looks of HER hair. Bleached and brittle. It's like going to dentist with rotten teeth. Shame on me! I'm traumatized and never stepping foot in a hair salon. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Mina is so talented! My balyage came out so well. On top of being a great hairstylist she has a sweet and caring personality. I am so happy I found my hairstylist. I will definitely go back! read more

What an incredible salon! I see Mina and cannot say enough incredible words about her -- she is the only one I will let touch my eyebrows and blood-red colored hair! After YEARS of trying to get the perfect hair color, she finally made it happen when I moved to Arlington and started seeing her. And the perfect eyebrow threading/dying in the same appointment!? YES, PLEASE! The entire salon & staff is incredible, though! It's always a welcoming environment and with COVID, the stylists & owner have done such a great job to make sure their customers are served and SAFE! I would recommend HIGHLY to anyone!!! read more

Professional and clean hair salon with fantastic service. First time visiting Sringar and I will definitely be back. The studio was modern and nice! Denis took the time to hear what I want for my hair cut and executed the cut to perfection. My hair looks amazing and the ends are razor straight! They also have lots of different hair products available for purchase. read more

I went here to get my hair toned after a bad highlight job at another salon. I couldn't be happier with my experience! Mina was so attentive and talked through what I was looking for and what she could do. My highlights were toned to a beautiful dimensional shade and she worked to fade the chunky color job I had. Highly recommend! read more

I have been there twice and I love Mina's help! She knows what I want, and did it over my expectations!

I'm updating my review, as I went back a second time to get my eyebrows threaded. That back room where they take you for waxing is GROSS. The table where you lie down is dirty and stained and I sort of stood by it waiting for the employee to lay down a clean towel for my head (like she did last time)... but this time she just grabbed a sheet from a paper towel roll. Uh..... I did not want to put my head down. She also went to grab her spool of thread and was like: "Where did that thread go!?!" And then left for a few minutes while i heard her rummaging around in a closet area for more thread. The threading itself was perfectly fine, and the service was alright (I could tell that she was talking a lot to maybe distract me from looking around the room)...but I just don't think I'll be coming back. I will find another place close by to thread these brows! read more

Finding eyebrow threading in this area can be difficult, but I have found every single time I have left Sringar I am elated with the results. Mina has done my brows the last few times- she is meticulous & extremely detailed in her work. She is great to chat with & makes threading an enjoyable experience- and if you've had your eyebrows threaded before that's REALLY hard to do! The prices are a tad more expensive than other places but the quality is truly unmatched. Sometimes I can't believe my eyebrows could look this good! read more

Today I met Nanu, and she was absolutely amazing. Haven't had my hair done since February, sure did a lot of recommendations and then we decided on just doing a few highlights and low low lights because I had enough of those. And then she colored my eyebrows and do a little threading. I had so many compliments the next thing, she is amazing and I will be back 100% read more

Great vibes at this salon! Kiran did an amazing job on my full foil platinum blonde hair I am completely in love with it! Alejandro gave my curly hair the sleekest blow out I've had in years!! read more

Mina is the go to person for eye brows! She is kind, considerate and she always makes time for me. If you have eye brows and want to get it shaped go to this place. read more

I went here for a 1 o clock haircut appointment , the lady at the reception paid no attention to arriving customers but kept chatting to people at the desk , after 10 mins of wait I was told that Kiran who I think is the owner of this place will be ready , this was already twenty minutes late , even after 25 mins it looked like she needed atleast 15 more mins with the previous customer. if you value your time and want people to value it too , this is not the place. read more

*review based on hair cut and customer service* Well, the reviews were good for a reason! I got myself an appointment at the last minute yesterday and they were very accommodating. I came in with hair that desperately needed some freshening up, but with very little ideas-- I left the creative beauty expression up to Kiran and she did a fantastic job! While looking at my hair, she thought it would be nice to update the color with some highlights so I agreed to it. Those came out looking very natural, which I like. She gave me a cute and simple cut, perfect for my new "professional" jobs. She was very pleasant and interesting to talk with while getting my hair done. There was no forced conversation and I got to relax. The Indian music was a nice touch, too. I got a discount for being a first time customer (woohoo!) and she gave me some sample hair products to take home. I can't wait to go back and try their skin and waxing services! read more

I love love love this place. I always ask for Ranjana when I go for a haircut, she's is so kind, and so talented. It's very clean, well-managed, and hip. read more

I had Mina as a hair dresser. She was absolutely horrible and rude to me. She splashed me with the water as she was washing my hair. She did it to me twice- the experience is so bad I feel like people will think it is untrue. She gets me wet and is laughing about it. She keeps commenting on how thick and curly my hair is, like it's a bad thing. She was commenting on how long it was going to take her to blow dry. She said on my next visit to get it cut, to which I responded by saying I am instead going to grow my hair. Mina responded that it would take a whole day to do. No offense- I go to Fernanda's in Somerville, they know how to do hair. I am in and out in an hour. Mina has no idea how to do hair and to compensate for not having talent she likes to make you feel bad about yourself. Avoid this place, especially if you have thick, curly hair because Mina will make you feel like you are bothering her. read more

After searching forever for a perfect threading place found this salon. I have had my eye brows done from Mina for over a year now and she is wonderful. Have had my hair cuts and coloring done from here too and it's nothing less than perfect. read more

Let me start by saying I do not write yelp reviews but I felt this experience warranted a review. Yesterday, I was apart of a bridal party that went to Sringar Hair Design for our hair and makeup. I have a salon that I typically go to for these appointments, but I went here instead since the bride wanted us all together. In addition to the bride, there were six women and throughout the morning/afternoon our appointments were spread out between a few hours. Once I arrived for my appointment, I had to wait about 20 minutes before the stylist was ready for me. I started with makeup since the other employees were still working on several of the bridesmaid's hair. The young lady that did my makeup did a fairly good job, but the process was not very sanitary. The stylists used the same makeup brushes on all of us, including the wands for both the lipgloss and mascara- GROSS!!! Overall my makeup came out okay but, my eyebrows were done a very dark brown while my hair is auburn. I looked like a clown and later used makeup remover to take off most of it. Next, two women began to do my hair. At this point, I had already been at the salon for an hour and a half. In addition to our bridal party, the salon also had other clients scheduled. This resulted in many times where they were bouncing between the wedding party and other customers. I showed them a picture of a simple hair design (picture below). During the process of curling my hair, one of the ladies was curling my hair so horribly that I later realized there were marks throughout my hair from the clamp of the curling iron. Oh and not to mention, my hair felt fried because each piece of hair she curled she held on the curling iron for what felt like 60 seconds (clamp mark pictured down below). I told them that I did not like the style of the curls, but they insisted that they needed to make those specific curls to make my hair look like the picture. After my hair was done, they gave me a mirror to see the back of my hair... there was a large bun on the back of my head, and barely any hair was left down and curled. When they asked how I liked my hair, I told them that it did not look anything like the simple picture. In the picture, the hair was teased at the crown for volume then some of the front pieces were pinned back. The woman told me that you can't always match the picture exactly- this I understand, but the hair design did not even resemble the picture at all; instead, the stylist decided to do a design that she wanted to do. In all honesty, a 5-year-old could have followed the picture better. At this point, I was over an hour late for the wedding pictures, and I did not like how my hair looked. I asked her to pull down a few pieces of hair in the front, so it at least looked like I had hair. She pulled down a piece and I simply paid (which also cost more then I was quoted since my hair was "long"). In the car ride from the salon to my house (about 5 minutes), 10 bobby pins fell out of my hair while I was driving. I then picked up my dress and headed to the venue where other members of the bridal party were also late and upset with their results. By the time I got to the venue which was only 15 more minutes away, my hair was straight, and almost all of the bobby pins holding in the hideous bun had fallen out. In all the other times I have gotten my hair done at a salon for a prom or wedding, my hair stayed intact and curled for hours- but not this time. I brought a curling iron to the venue, and we all had about 30 minutes before the wedding started for all of us to salvage our hair. All 6 of the bridesmaids were extremely unhappy with either their hair, makeup or both! After speaking with the other bridesmaids, they all had also told their stylists that they were unhappy with their hair, but the stylist said it looked good. We then all had to help each other completely reconstruct our hair before the ceremony since we all were so unhappy. The bride was so upset that everyone was late and that their hair did not come out right that she decided to contact the salon before the ceremony even began. When the bride is that upset, you know the salon did a horrible job. This was an awful experience for every single bridesmaid and a complete waste of money. Moral of the story if you are having a wedding and you would like a stress free afternoon of getting ready- do not go here. If I could give negative stars for this salon, I would. read more

See all

I look forward to my haircuts! All of the staff are wonderful. Both Kiran and Nanu cut my thick wavy hair perfectly. Friendly, funny and always a pleasure to go and get pampered read more

Wonderful first haircut experience for my 2 year old son! Mina did a fabulous job making sure he was comfortable as she worked quickly and beautifully to trim his hair. What a positive experience! read more

I had a very pleasant waxing experience at this salon. Very friendly reception when I came in and Ranjana, who everybody is raving about, really has a soothing way about her. I am so lucky to have stumbled across this salon and would go back if I lived in the area. read more

I was on a time crunch to get my brows threaded (I refuse to get them waxed anymore -- premature sagging skin? Not for this vain A-Z-N, thanks), so I braved the rain and crazy parking (I literally had to climb in through the passenger side to get to the driver's side after my threading session) and shlepped over to this hidden gem. Ranjana was my threader, and she was quite sweet about the process. She called threading "teamwork" -- which it totally is -- and made me feel very comfortable while asking what I wanted in terms of brow shape. Then, the little aloe massage at the end? Pssst, that's probably my favorite part of any eyebrow threading I get done. No wonder they've been in business for 10+ years -- they know how to treat their clientele right! Indeed, she was extremely personable and gave me her business card when I was done, and even gave me a new client discount. But I have to dock a star for the same reason as was previously stated by another Yelper: the prices are a bit raised brow-worthy (pun semi-intended), especially for Arlington. Expect to be set back almost $20 (with tip) for a brow threading. Based on all the reviews, I wouldn't mind coming back to see if she's as good with the hair on top of my head, but I will definitely be saving my dollars for that day. read more

I come here every few months to get my eyebrows threaded and my legs waxed. The woman, Ranjana, who does the threading and waxing is great. She's quick, gentle, and pleasant. My eyebrows look great every time (and don't get thinner and thinner as sometimes happens with eyebrow threading or waxing). She's also quick and gentle with the leg waxing, never had any irritation or hairs left. She has also never tried to upsell me on anything which is a huge plus...I hate it when aestheticians do stuff like that (as in, "ohhh in doing your eyebrows I see your skin is dry...buy this amazing lotion...oh did I mention it costs $60?) But none of that from Ranjana, just fast and painless hair removal. They just finished a huge renovation which made the threading/waxing room much more private and pleasant. It's really nice. I have never gotten my hair cut here so I can't comment on that. read more

Just got my eyebrows threaded here tonight and I seriously can't stop looking at them and mentioning about how good they look (my eyebrow lady moved back to India and I haven't had the chance to find anyone like her until tonight so I'm just excited!!) I'm accompanying my husband here on his business trip and we're leaving in three days and it makes me sad that I won't be able to come back :( I had such a great experience and Mina is SUCH a sweetheart. Make sure you ask for her for eyebrow threading. She's gentle and not once did I feel the pain I usually feel when I get my eyebrows threaded. If I lived in Mass this would be my regular eyebrow threading place! My only gripe is that the price is a little steep: $17. In California it's about $12, but honestly with how satisfied I am with my eyebrows--it was worth the price difference :) read more

I stumbled upon this place and it's truly amazing!!!!! Amazing!!! I get my haircuts here and my eyebrows threaded. So much attention is put into my brows and hair - which is hard to find! Today I had a Photoshoot for RedBook magazine and I got my make up done there by Bodhi. Talented girl, patient with me as it was my first time getting make up done and I had probably needed a bit more attention than others. I'm very happy. The prices are a little high for threading so I try to stretch out the frequency of coming in, but these people care about their work and the care about their clients' happiness. read more

Sringar Hair Design - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I've been coming here since July of 2004 for hair cuts, color and threading. I LOVE this place!!! I see Kiran for cut and color, and either Ranjana or Mina for threading. I never feel like they're being pushy with product or suggestions for extra money to be spent. Kiran is a genius with color. I've never had a bad experience with her. In fact, I've sent friends to get their hair color corrected by her. She's amazing. She does great cuts too, as trendy or as classic as you want. Ranjana and Mina to great threading as well. I hated what waxing did to my skin, but I've had no issues with threading. My skin is never inflammed or irritated, and the hair takes awhile to grow back. LOVE the massage after the threading!!! Bonus: scalp massages during shampoos and conditioning!!! Have to love that! Very reasonable prices and experienced staff...what more do you want???? read more

Been coming here for 10 years now - Naanu does my hair and eyebrows. One place where they get curly hair right! There may be a little wait sometimes, but so worth it for the extra attention to detail. This is not one of those places where they try to get you in and out as soon as possible. They totally take pride in their work! read more

I came in on New Years Eve for an eyebrow threading and badly needed haircut, both were great. I even left with a beautiful styling that I received compliments on all night! read more

OUCH!!!! I went here a few times for eyebrow threading. Mina was great, very gentle and patient. I didn't love the whole threading thing, but my eyebrows looked great so I kept doing it. However, the last time I went in, I had a different girl. HUGE mistake. She was rough and in a hurry. She also scolded me for "waiting too long" and said if I hadn't waited so long, it wouldn't hurt. Ummmm, no, I'm in pain because you're hurting me, woman. Seriously, y'all, tears of pain were rolling down my cheeks. NEVER AGAIN. Nothing is worth that much pain. I'm back to waxing my eyebrows, thankyouverymuch. Now, let's talk about my hair experience- again, Mina.... oh, Mina, so sweet, yet sooooo slow. Molasses fall faster than she does hair. I wasn't asking for much- just a cut and single process color. 2 hours, tops. Oh, no, not here. I was there, no lying, for 3 hours. She first had to consult with 2 people about what color to use, then she painstakingly put the color on, strand by strand. By this point, I was ready to run out, but I had already invested so much time, I figured I'd see it through.... So, the cut.... you ever tried cutting your hair when you were a kid and you'd cut one side, then the other, then back to the first side until it was even? Yeah.... imagine that, but in slow-mo. My hair was waaaay shorter than I asked for and still uneven. Too bad I won't be going back- they were really nice people, but I just don't have 3 hours to waste. read more

Got my eyebrows threaded here for the first time by Ranjana. All of the staff was very friendly, she was gentle and gave me a great arch and a little forehead massage after. I recommend! read more

This is the best place to get your eyebrows (or whatever else) threaded! I have been to many many places and have never been as pleased with my eyebrows as I am with how Mina does them. Unlike many places Mina is very meticulous so they are always even and she understands the concept of keeping them thick (unlike those places at the mall). If you are nervous about trying threading .. do not be here because it is the best place you could go and I don't say this lightly because I'm a little too obsessed with my eyebrows. read more

I go every 7 to 8 weeks and have the full service - haircut for my thick curly hair (I love the head massage they give when washing your hair. Comes with some sweet little snapping sound too); hair dye (they convinced me to do this as a grey coverage technique. I actually love it. Get it done every time now. Lots of compliments on it "wow, that's a really expensive highlight, right?". Actually, no. Its just the color fading out, and its pretty reasonable as things like this go); and eyebrow threading, which both Ranjana and the other young woman do beautifully. I always feel like walking around with one eyebrow fashionably raised for the next few days. I feel very put together when I leave. Kiran, the owner and my stylist, is always attentive and personable and knows how to cut hair to conventional or unconventional standards. read more
