Women of Color, Listen —You Don’t Have to Fit In Anymore.

At Noelle Salon, we do it differently. We don’t force your hair to conform—we work with it.
Strand testing? Always.
Safe straightening? Non-negotiable.
From sodium hydroxide relaxers to CHI and Keratin treatments, we customize solutions that work for your hair, not against it.

“After a few very expensive haircuts and colors at "Boston's Best" salons on Newbury Street (one of which basically ruined my hair for a year), I emailed Noelle about extensions. She responded in a timely matter, was very nice, gave me a reasonable quote and I was able to make an appointment to get my dream extensions within a week.”
