About Our Arlington Salon
Where Arlington Gets
Great Hair Done
Founded by Laura Khesin, Society Beauty Bar is a full-service boutique hair salon located right at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Park Avenue in Arlington Heights. We’re not a chain, we’re a neighborhood salon where your stylist takes real time to understand your hair, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Whether you’re looking for a balayage specialist, a fresh cut, or a smoothing treatment that survives a New England summer, we’ve got you. Arlington residents, Lexington commuters, Cambridge professionals, everyone’s welcome here.
Full-Service Hair in
Arlington Heights
From lived-in color to precision cuts to extensions — Society does it all, right on Mass Ave.
Signature Service
Balayage & Lived-In Color
Balayage is what we're known for — and Arlington clients keep coming back for it. Our color specialists are trained in hand-painting, babylights, and teased highlights, creating that effortless, grown-out look that lasts.
We serve blondes, brunettes, coppers, reds, and everything in between. New to color? We offer complimentary new guest color consultations — just fill out the intake form when you book.
Color Specialists
Foils, Single Process & All-Over Color
From classic single-process color to full foil work, our Arlington color team handles every technique. Whether you want vibrant all-over color, subtle dimension from a partial foil, or our popular mini foil — face framing and part-line highlights for high-impact results — we'll build a formula that fits your hair and your life.
Love your current color but want a refresh? Ask about our color gloss add-on for maximum shine and dimension at your next visit.
Cuts & Styling
Haircuts That Actually Work for You
From curtain bangs to lived-in layers to blunt bobs — our cut specialists bring precision and personality to every appointment. We take time to understand your texture, your routine, and your goals before picking up the shears.
Clipper cuts available too. Not sure who to book with? Use our Find Your Stylist tool — it matches you with the right Arlington stylist based on your hair type, style preferences, and personality.
Smoothing Treatments
Formaldehyde-free smoothing for frizz-free results that still move. A fan favorite heading into humid Boston summers.
Hair Extensions
Add length, volume, or both. New extension guests complete a quick intake form so we can find the perfect fit for your hair type.
Bridal Hair
Available for wedding day styling, bridal party appointments, and pre-wedding color services throughout the Greater Boston area.
