About 15 minutes from Porter Square
Hair Salon Near Cambridge, MA
Cambridge clients usually arrive with two complaints about salons closer to home: the price and the parking. Fifteen minutes up from Porter or Harvard gets you specialist balayage work, a full consultation, and a car you did not have to garage for three hours.

Neighbourhoods we serve
Porter Square · Harvard Square · North Cambridge · Kendall Square · Inman Square
Getting here
Red Line to Davis then the Green Line extension or the 101 bus; driving up Route 16 or Mystic Valley Parkway is usually fastest.
Parking
Free street parking on Main St and municipal lots around Medford Square — no garage fees.
