Hair by Edma is on Main Street in Medford, near Broadway and Ball Square in Somerville and Tufts University. The Medford/Tufts stop on the Green Line is nearby, and there is free street parking along both sides of Main Street. The salon says it has served clients for more than 30 years, and Edma became its owner in December 2024.
Services cover haircuts and styling, hair color from root color and highlights to balayage and creative color, smoothing and repair treatments, facial waxing and brow services, and manicures, pedicures and polish removal. Keratin smoothing and Olaplex-supported lightening are among the more specific options.
Every visit begins with a free 30-minute consultation to talk through hair history, goals and expected pricing. Prices depend on hair length, density, the result wanted, products and complexity, so the final price is confirmed at that consultation. Clients may come in with dry hair, whether freshly washed or not.
Walk-ins are welcome when a stylist is available, though booking ahead is recommended for a particular stylist, service, date or time. Earlier appointments can be requested, and online booking is available through the website. Certain services may require a card on file or a deposit, with terms explained before confirmation.
Cancellations need at least 48 hours notice. Shorter-notice changes, cancellations and no-shows are charged the minimum starting price of the booked service. According to the salon, it is rated 4.8 on Google from over 200 reviews.
Every service starts with a consultation, so goals and pricing are discussed before any work begins.
Snacks, drinks and coffee are available for clients to help themselves to during a visit.
