CLIENTS REVIEWS

"Have been a client of Edma for over a decade. She has been always professional, talented and updated about new techniques and hairstyles. Her expertise as chemist dealing with dye coloring, hair straightening/curlying and other hair treatments are attested top notch by all my female relatives who sometimes are very adventurous on their styling or when sometimes, they just go to Edma for washing, blow dry/ brushing, to get celebrity looks or just to boost their self confidence! Super recommended" (Vanderlei Tadeu DeSouza)

"Edma is the best hairstylist of MA. Every time that I go to her to take care of my hair she makes me feel wonderful . She does a great work with knowledge and professionalism. The atmosphere of the salon is very pleasant and careful especially in these times of Covid-19. I recommend Edma's services without fear" (NLop)

"I've been a customer of Edma for many, many years. She's the only one I trust to do my treatments and to color my hair. For years, I used to drive all the way from Billerica to her salon in Somerville - that's how much I love her work! Luckily, I'm closer now and can come whenever I want!" (Mariana Just)
