Hair Salon Serving Watertown, MA

Expert color, highlights and cuts — three miles up Belmont Street.
Watertown, Massachusetts

Closer than most of Watertown

Of every town we serve outside Belmont, Watertown is the nearest. Robert’s Salon and Spa is at 66 Leonard Street in Belmont Center, about three miles straight up Belmont Street from Watertown Square — closer, for a lot of people, than driving across their own town at rush hour.

For more than 30 years we have built the business on color: dimensional foil highlights, single-process shades, gray blending that grows out softly, and corrections that fix what happened somewhere else. Cuts, blowouts, smoothing treatments and spa services fill out the menu, so the whole visit happens in one place.

Why Watertown Clients Make the Trip

Three miles is not really a trip. What it buys you:

Short enough to book on short notice.

Ten minutes each way means a Tuesday cut is a lunch hour, not an afternoon. A good share of our Watertown clients book the same week.

Color is the specialty, not a sideline.

Roughly two-thirds of what we do is color work, with Goldwell professional color and Kérastase treatments.

The whole visit in one stop.

Color, cut, blowout, keratin, waxing and facials under one roof — you are not booking three appointments in three places.

Parking without circling.

Metered spaces on Leonard Street and municipal lots a short walk away, which is a fair bit simpler than Watertown Square at five o’clock.
