Maye Hair Salon

Owner Mayella is always very pleasant and the salon is cozy. She can accommodate both English and Spanish speaking clientele. I have never had to wait for more than a couple of minutes for my appointments and Mayella is on top of what is going on in the industry with regards to latest trends and best products to use. Highly recommend this salon and the owner! I should add that she has been cutting and highlighting my hair for over 20 years now.....

Mayela is awesome! She is always so friendly and has never done a bad job on my hair. You are not just another customer when you walk into Maye Hair Salon, you are a friend.

Mayela Ortiz is the owner of Maye's beauty salon at 12 Division Street in Somerville. The place is a little hole in the wall, with pocketbooks, jewelry and hats hanging around the space for sale.

The real gem, though, is Maye herself. She's been cutting hair for over 20 years. I was a first-time customer and haven't yet found a favorite salon since I relocated to NJ. I desperately needed a shaping and color and I was long overdue. I decided to take a chance and walked into Maye's Hair Salon while my husband was taking music lessons across the plaza at Division Music (another great place). I'm the kind of person who will explore and take chances, so now you won't have to. :)

I had long, past my shoulders end-frizzed hair, and wanted something fresher and younger looking, as well as a single process color. She recommended several different things to me and then let me look through an 'idea book' before I decided on some kind of layered cut with bangs. Great suggestions on her part. She knows how to suggest a cut to flatter a face shape, it looks like.

She whipped together a good color, applied it, and after less than an hour I was in the sink to rinse ( she gives great scalp massage) and then she started to rapidly weave her magic with the scissors. After the cut she spent a good amount of time just pampering my hair with the blow drier. Very little product applied, but my hair felt soft and smooth afterwards.

And the cut -- what a DIFFERENCE. I look 10 years younger and the haircut makes me look and feel great. Admittedly, any haircut may have been an improvement at that point -- trust me -- but what makes this haircut great is that when I get out of the shower and turn on the blow drier -- it just falls into place and looks pretty much like it did when I walked out of her salon. That doesn't always happen for me. I've been to 300-dollar salons and even then sometimes it's a crap shoot, but Maye really seems to know what she's doing. She managed to get the layering just right so that the slight wave in my hair made it full and rich and thick.

Maye's also very friendly and a very calm and thoughtful person, and is kind to people. A little old Spanish-speaking lady came into the salon to just sit and talk Mayela tells me she does now and again because she doesn't have many other places to go, and Mayela is perfectly bilingual and talked to the little old lady for a while to catch up on her life. She's just a talented hairstylist and a good person.

And you can't beat the price -- about 80 for the cut and color. Worth it in my opinion.

Highly recommend.

She does a great job cutting my husband's hair

The Best! ♥

Mayela is great.

Today I was over there for my hair cut and I got blow dry, when I am checking out I haven't discover card and she said she don't accept discover cards but then she tried it did not go through and I said I will get cash from bank and she said leave your phone here, and later I used my debit even it did not go through because there is a problem with her end. And the internet was not working and took my phone and kept which is not fair. I hate this place from now. I was so upset with her, I used go there a lot before and she said I don't trust anyone that's not the write thing she did to me.
