Best Hair Styles & Salons for Your Favorite Boston Neighborhoods

Any Bostonian knows and loves the variety of neighborhoods the city has to offer. If you’re a Boston girl, you know each community has their own unique vibe, whether it be the quaint European-esque streets of the North End, or the bustle of rowdy sports fans in the Fenway, every pocket of Bean Town has something exciting to offer. The diversity of the city poses opportunities for different styles, and our team at Ververy is here to help you keep up with all the trends for hair cuts, colors, and styles– and of course we have some intel on how to cut and style your hair to embrace every part of Boston!

The North End Haircut

The “it” spot for a classy date night. Choose from one of the many moody bars Boston’s Little Italy has to offer, splurge on your favorite pasta dish, and of course finish the night with a pastry (this begs the age old question: Mike’s Pastry or Modern Pastry?). 

If you've gone out in the North End, you know it beckons a chic look, and what hairstyle is more fitting than the timeless yet trendy Italian bob? Pair this sleek shape with your favorite fall boots and a classic little black dress, and you’ll have heads turning! As Boston’s #1 salon finder app, we recommend Joi hair salon to give you the bob haircut of your dreams. Don’t want to make the chop just yet but love the idea of a chic hair style for sweater weather? Check out these other amazing hair salons right in the North End that are sure to have the perfect hairstylist who will nail this vibe!

The 'Southie' Hair Style

Perfect for the girl who can go from hot yoga to margaritas in record time. South Boston’s West and East Broadway are home to a collection of locally loved bars and restaurants that are seldom empty. Southie is the place you gather with friends whether it be to celebrate, catch up, or just have yourselves a time. If you and your girls are going for apps and drinks, or maybe just skipping right to the booze, you’ll want to look your best without putting in hours of work on your hair!

If you’re a young Bostonian, you know Southie is the place to bar crawl until last call, so why not give your hair a style that will last all night? Go for a blowout-- it'll be worth it! An effortless, bouncy blowout is the perfect hairdo for a bar crawl night - and with the right maintenance (AKA a mini hairspray in your bag) it can last all night! Check out our favorite salons in Southie that are sure to give you a killer blowout, whether you want it wavy, smooth, or all out glamorous!

The Seaport Touch-Up & Treatment

The Seaport Neighborhood is home to many Boston professionals. If that’s you, then you most likely don’t have time to go home and fix your hair or makeup in between work and your evening plans. So, eliminate your pit stops!  When 5 o’clock hits and you have dinner plans at 7, there's just enough time to stop at a local salon, get your much needed touch-up, and head to dinner. Even better, ask your hairdresser to throw on a treatment, pull your hair back in a chic bun, and ditch the blow-dry. Efficiency for the business woman at its finest!
