This salon takes a unique approach -- they focus exclusively on coloring, with no cuts or styling services. I tried the root touch-up with an additional gloss treatment and was really pleased with the quality of the products -- definitely gentler on the hair than store-bought dyes. Pros: High-quality professional products Friendly staff Convenient option to purchase at-home care items Simple parking setup Overall, it's a great option for those looking for quality color without the extras. I'd recommend clearly discussin... read more

Not a great value considering it costs the same as a real salon. I don't understand the appeal but I'm not really trying to cover greys that badly

I've had two experiences at this color bar. The first was last year, and I went in for an all-over color. I came away not loving the color at all (it was really orange) and then needed to make an appointment to have it fixed. The most challenging part of all of this was dealing with the phone system and not being able to get through to the actual Somerville store! Finally when I went back the store manager helped me and the color was fixed to my satisfaction. I tried them again for an all-over color recently, and it worked o... read more

Love this place! I was worried because I only discovered the Yelp review on my way to the salon, but the negative reviews did not match my experience. Christa was professional and very good at her job. The schedule worked smoothly. Price was great. I was very happy with the experience and will definitely be back!

Having been both a customer and employee, I can speak from a perspective unlike others here. This place has top of the line color. They are blue bunny certified, which means no animal cruelty. Speaking from experience, as a professional licensed cosmetologist, I can say from my first hand experience, that Madison Reed's products are truly top tier. Their color is odorless and they don't use ammonia. The product leaves your hair with a beautiful shine/luster because there is argan oil and ginseng root mixed into the formula a... read more

Review for blow dry.. I've gone to this location several times and color and gloss always perfect. I like to get my hair blow dried too but it's $45 extra. For some reason the colorist doesn't color AND blow dry. Last two times the blow-dry was fine. Not fantastic but I was satisfied. Not this time though. It was as if she has never blow dried anyone's hair before. There are no mirrors in front of you to see what they do but I figured how bad can it be? I told the woman to do my bangs first while they're wet or she'll have... read more

The hair color bar is an interesting and new experience to me. Long story short, it's a place where professionals help you to put the healthier version of box dye to your hair. Different from a typical hair salon, the only service they have here is to touch on your hair and add some color to it! No cutting/styling/etc but it does include washing and drying (extra cost). They also sell their product so you can DIY at home and save some money. I did the root ($65) + gloss ($30) + professional blowout ($45) altogether. Overall... read more

Not a big fan of this place. Gave it a few chances and there was always a mishap. I look back at pictures of my hair the first time I got it done there and I cringe.

Awful. Yesterday I went to have my roots done and my dark brown hair was turned light orange. Apparently they got the mix wrong. Today I returned to have it fixed. After three additional dye jobs over the course of five plus hours my hair still looks reddish brown and horrible. I'm really disappointed since I have been going here for quite a while and have never had issues until now.
