Rumors Hair Skin & Nail Salon

Easy online appointment scheduling and lots of services. Moe is great!

I have been a salon client for many years and truly enjoy every visit, each of the stylists is friendly, kind, fun and talented. The receptionists are lovely and there is an ambience at Rumors that is special. You can tell everyone enjoys working there! Amy and Lisa always do a great job with my hair.
Recently I went for my first Rumors Moisturizing Facial with Christine and I can’t say enough nice things about the experience. Christine is a joy to be with and her expertise in skin care and holistic health care is a real plus. I will definitely be going back again. My skin was smiling as was I. Thank you Christine!

Have been going to Rumors for years. The front desk staff and all the stylists are all extremely friendly and professional. My stylist Lisa is great! I have also had stylists Karen and Tina cut and color my hair. I always leave there extremely happy, by far the best spot in the area for hair, nails and skin care. I highly recommend the salon they are always up to date on current style trends and techniques, the pricing is extremely reasonable and all the staff is great!

I’ve been going here for years and have always gotten good service. I just wish I could make my hair look as nice at home!

I have been visiting Laura at the salon since I moved to Marlborough in 2012. I have very straight hair that I basically only get trimmed and washed every couple of months.
Everytime I go she is super nice, always dries my hair even though I tell her it’s not necessary, and basically gives me attention even though I am not a customer that gets a ton of services. She does a great job, and gives me samples of product to try fairly often. She also recommended a great brush for detangling wet hair.
Last week I had a clinical facial with Christine. I am 30, and have been obsessed with anti-​aging for about 5 years. Within the past three months I began using retin-​a to address potential problem areas. Although my skin is looking younger, my face was dry and red in areas. Christine noticed immediately.
She did a facial, explaining all along what products she used, why, and asked about my skincare routine. She basically wrote me a prescription for fixing the damage I had done my overusing retin-​A (I followed the dermatoligists directions, but had not follow up with her since).
I learned a lot about my skin, and how to better take care of it. She even asked me to pop in to check on me in a few weeks to see how the new routine was going, and emailed me a follow up treatment plan. She was fantastic, and I already have my next facial scheduled!

Amazing salon! I went in for a cut, color, and eyebrow wax last week and have been feeling a pull to write a Unilocal review ever since.
It was my first time at Rumors, and I felt instantly comfortable as I walked in the front door. The ladies at the front desk were welcoming, and the whole salon is just so modern and cute. I knew I had picked a good place.
Lisa, the long time stylist who did my color, was phenomenal. My hair has literally never looked better. My hair is long and usually takes a while to foil, but Lisa was efficient and masterful. She offered a trim, and when I told her to do her best, she gave me some really wonderful long layers. I honestly can’t stop looking at my hair!
The eyebrow wax was wonderful as well, and the girl who did it (I can’t believe I forgot her name!) was so sweet that we talked through the whole wax. That means no worrying about when the strip is going to be pulled! It was a great experience.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Rumors to anyone. They seem like they really know their stuff, and the salon is chic but with fair prices. I was really impressed by Lisa, my stylist, and can’t wait to go back!

I moved to Marlborough yesterday and wanted to find a salon to get my color done without travelling back to my old area (Stoneham is about an hour away now.) I read the reviews on Unilocal for this place, one was good and one was bad. I took it with a grain of salt since not a lot of people had reviewed it, the bad review was pretty old and I was only getting a quick color and cut.
I went in and was about 5 minutes late for my 8:30 appointment, (they open at 8 am which is awesome for early risers like myself) and I apologized to Heidi for being late and it seemed like she hadn’t noticed and ensured me that I was fine. The salon was pretty full already with many people who seemed like they had been before — they should come on here and advocate for this salon — and staff that all looked pretty enthusiastic and wide-​eyed for the time in the morning it was!
Heidi did a consultation and matched the color perfectly within a few minutes, mixed my color, applied and was sent me over to the color table. The color table was my only negative part of my visit, I don’t like the idea of sitting across from everyone else with color on the hair.. no one was talking to each other so it was a little uncomfortable for that reason. I was seated there for a little while and my stylist took another customer for a hair cut which she completed quickly but there was no place at the color table for me to put my purse so I had to put it on the floor in the salon (note to self, carry your cheapest purse if you are having color and not a Kate Spade.)
She finished my hair and it looked great. The finishing could have been better but I have curly hair and feel like she might have been getting tired. My whole appointment for a color and cut lasted from 8:30 to 10:30 and I was happy with how it turned out.
I’d absolutely go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new salon in the area. Parking is plentiful, all of the staff I encountered were lovely, and you will get an awesome service.

Rumors is the best salon in the area! I have been to many salons in MA and NH and Rumors is superior by far. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and up to date on all new trends.
Lisa is so good at what she does. Both as a stylist and as the owner. I would recommend Rumors very highly!

This is absolutely the #1 choice for a salon in the Metrowest area. Professional, knowledgeable, long-​time staff members create an upscale atmosphere for all. Always changing to keep up with current styles and trends for men, women and children alike. I never have to worry about a thing when I come in to get my hair, nails or skin pampered. If, Lisa, my regular pro is not available, I can certainly trust any member of that staff to take care of me and provide me exactly what I want every time. These ladies helped me look fabulous through all of my proms and every special event throughout my life. I’ve tried other places but they just cannot compare. I’ve moved about 45 minutes away from this location and still however I’ll still make the drive! Flexible hours, reasonable prices, and a clean environment make me give this place an A++!

I had recently moved to Marlborough and needed a place to get a formal hairstyle because I was in a wedding. I wasn’t really picky about what I wanted, went in there and browsed through a magazine and picked out a nice easy hairstyle that I knew would work for my hair type because I’ve had something similar done before. What I wanted was a simple, smooth and sleek style pulled back into a small bunch of curls. What I ended up with was a big puffball on the top and sides with a large upside-​down triangle of curls in the back. I was practically in tears and she could tell I was upset, and said that gravity would make it less puffy on top. This woman has supposedly be doing updos for 30 something years, so I don’t know if I’d trust any of their other stylist either. I would have had her redo it if I had the time, but unfortunately I didn’t. I was able to tame some of the puffiness with mousse before the wedding, and it looked OK but it was certainly not anything like what I wanted, nor worth the $ 70 I paid for it.
