Soula, the owner, is a stylish petite woman of little words. Lady is a no-nonsense hair artist. I…read morecalled early one holiday morning and she set me up with an afternoon appointment right straight. I wouldn't say Soula is the warmest personality. She's kind of aloof and wispy - comes off as a seasoned practitioner who's seen and heard it all before. She asked all the right questions to give me a 'good' haircut that is growing in nicely. The haircut was like a dialogue. She queried; I answered; she responded with her scissors. The salon is tiny. Housed in the first floor of a Davis Square three-decker, you can get a peek at the space through what would normally be the living room bay window. Nothing fancy, but it works... and the same can be said about my hair... $45

Maria of Salonika has solved all my hair woes!!!! I went in with long, straight, dry, brittle and…read morebulky hair. And you could actually see the lines of my layers. (not cute!) By the time I was done, my head was half the size as when I walked in, there were no lines, and I felt like a new person. Maria was great! We sat and studied my hair for a minute to figure out what to do with it... we tossed around a few ideas and then she went to work. She explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it while she cut away. Also, she pointed out to me that I have a tendency to run my hands through my hair, and thats why it gets so oily! She was also very sweet and we had a nice little chat. Now I have fun and funky hair AND a new hair stylist! And I didn't even have to shell out astronomical $$$. Price was very average.

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.

I love the professionalism and ease of appointment bookings.

When I first moved to Stoneham, I tried Nails Etc. as they were closest to my house. It was nice…read moreto have English-speaking employees, until I realized all they do is bash their husbands and gossip about TV. I love my husband and hate TV, so that was boring. My acrylic fill only took about half an hour at Nails Etc., which was much shorter than the ones I used to get in Tewksbury. I soon realized why when my gel nails that I've never had a problem with before started separating from my real nails. For $25, I expect better. I tried them a couple of times before finally giving up.

I walked right in at my appointment time, chose a color for a very wide selection and was escorted right to my pedicure seat. They have two pedicure stations that were really just foot spas and a cushioned bench. Comfy enough, but no high tech massage chairs here. They offer two types of pedicures - just a normal pedicure for $28 or a spa pedicure for $35 which includes a foot scrub and mask. I opted for this one and my feet were super happy! My pedicure came out great. They only con is that they have no feet dryers so you have to air dry. They did put some sort of drops on my feet to speed up the drying process. Nails Etc also offers manicures, waxing, facials and professional makeup.

It did not turn out well, so I decided to get it done here by Rogue. She was so incredibly kind and easy to work with throughout the entire visit, and I got the blue color I wanted! I really appreciated her flexibility and patience with all of my questions and requests regarding how I wanted my hair to look. She also gave me tons of advice for how to maintain the color for longer so that I wouldn't have to get it redone very often. I got my hair colored a few weeks back, and the color is still vibrant, and I always get compliments on it! If you're planning on coloring your hair, then I seriously recommend Rogue; I will definitely be going back to her in the future.

While waiting for the blowout, I had to ask my mother to ask someone for coffee after seeing everyone else in the waiting area drinking some. For whatever reason, I was never offered a beverage when I arrived or while waiting. It's a great salon with experienced professionals. I'd highly recommend the salon and the staff!
