Jenn gives the absolute best haircuts. I used to live in Cambridge then moved to New Hampshire and I happily take the trip to Salon 221. She is an expert in styling and hair color, a true professional.

Jennifer is AMAZING! Not only is she still practicing Covid-safety (fabulous for those of us still being cautious due to choice or necessity), but she really takes the time to get to know your preferences, needs and make you comfortable. My hair has been notoriously hard to find the right stylist for--it's thick, textured and not the norm (I'm Asian and I've had my fair share of poor experiences). I have been to soooo many places over the years including some top rated on Yelp (from Boston to Nashua, I will travel for the right hair experiences). That being said, I just had the BEST experience at Salon 221! Jennifer was so nice, so caring, funny and just all around lovely. And beyond that, I love the way my hair looks and feels! I'm SO happy! My husband even mentioned he was impressed by how nicely Jennifer cut/styled it--he's seen me go through the ups and downs of finding the right person over the years (some pretty atrocious experiences have been had lol) :) Cannot recommend Salon 221 and Jennifer enough! I will be back and highly suggest giving this Salon a try if you're looking. 10 out of 10! Note: My husband and I share a Yelp so it is under his name, but I received women's wash/cut/texture services

I have not felt comfortable getting a haircut for the last two years but she made it work in ways that other shops in the area didn't make me feel comfortable.

This is a small very well run shop. The owner is very artistic and accommodating to her clients. I always enjoy going there and get really good haircuts. She also has a variety if other services. Importantly she is very respectful of the need for her clients to be safe and uses masks and air purifers.

I'd recommend Jenny at Salon 221 to anyone. She gave my high school daughter a very cute haircut and we plan to go back when it's time for the next trim. You should know this is a teen who has been reluctant to cut her locks for ages so, the trip and plans to return are huge! As a parent, I felt Jenny was really patient and caring with my daughter. And I really appreciate that she is very thoughtful about COVID safety precautions so we felt very safe and could just relax and enjoy the experience.Service: Haircut

I've been going here since I became an Arlington resident years ago and still come back even though I've moved. Jennifer is a talented and true professional - she offers ideas and collaborates on color and style options and then does exactly what was agreed upon! I'm always happy with the results! The salon also practices great safety measures in this Covid era. I feel totally safe going there knowing that customers are vaccinated or have tested negative and everything is sanitized. This is a great small business that I feel great supporting!

This was my family's first time going back inside for haircuts in the pandemic, and we all--me, husband, and two kids--had a great experience. My first priority was safety, given that my kids can't yet get vaccinated, and the safety precautions here are second to none. I honestly wasn't even thinking that much about the details of our haircuts, but we all came out looking great! Jennifer took really great care of all of us, paying close attention to what each of us was looking for and what would work best with our hair texture and style preferences. Salon 221 is our new home for haircuts going forward!

Best haircut of my life! The staff is super friendly and nice. The place is very clean and well decorated. I have long curly hair and it is hard to find a hairdresser who knows what to do with it.

Such a pretty little spot and they do an amazing job with manis and pedis. I come, relax and walk out so pretty.

I got a haircut today at Salon 221 for the first time. I hadn't had a haircut in about a year because I've been nervous about COVID-19. A friend told me she'd had her haircut at the salon recently and the owner was being very cautious, and I loved my friend's haircut. My friend did not exaggerate about the safety precautions taken here. I waited in my car for the owner to text me when she was ready for me. The customer in the salon before me took longer than expected but I didn't mind at all about the delay as I could see how thoroughly the owner was disinfecting the salon. When I got into the salon and I sat down I noticed that my mask was a little loose on my nose, and I mentioned it to the owner who offered me a new disposable mask which I happily used. All the precautions really put me at ease and I chatted away with the owner while she washed and cut my hair exactly as the inspiration photo I showed her. Not only can she cut my wavy/curly hair really well, but she knows a lot about sharks LOL. I didn't get a blow out because I wanted to be in and out of the salon as quickly as possible. When I got home I diffused my hair and the cut is gorgeous. I will definitely be coming back, and I recommend the salon to anyone who is nervous about COVID-19 but is really overdue for a haircut!

Great place! Jennifer got me in right away for a haircut. I would highly recommend going here and only 1 person at a time with all COVID-19 precautions.
