The Village Barber Shop, a small brick building marked with a traditional-looking barber's pole, is located at 416 Main St. in downtown Stoneham. Hours vary Wednesday through Saturday, so call ahead to schedule an appointment. There is a nearby free parking lot as well as free on-street parking in the downtown area.
The Stoneham "Best of the Best" award winner, five years running, has been here on Main Street for over 20 years. The salon sports a hip artist's loft motif and five stations where stylists work their magic. It's family owned and customers can get cuts, perms, corrective color, Brazilian Keratin treatments, makeup, manicures, waxing and more done right here.
Founded in 1963, Michel's is still family-owned and operated. There are seven stylists on staff who keep Stoneham residents looking good. The shop is bright and spacious and there is usually plenty of parking around the corner in the two-hour lot.
This hip hair salon, located steps from the William F. Buckley Memorial Park and Stoneham Square sign, posesses a chic vibe that's more New York runway than Stoneham. That's not to say that the staff or clientele are pretentious, as they are all very friendly and good at what they do. The modern shop features a comfortable waiting room with leather couches and flat screen TV, and a bright, sleek color scheme. Owner Kenny Romano is vastly experienced and founded Kenzo in 2007. In addition to hair, stylists also do bridal makeup.
Snips has been providing Stoneham-area clients with quality hair care for 22 years. The salon is located on the second floor of Plaza 125. It offers wash and cuts, foil, corrective coloring, waxing, the Brazilian Keratin treatment and more. It's small but cozy here, and owner Donna and her staff are personable.
