Expert color, highlights and cuts — minutes down Pleasant Street in Belmont Center.
If you live in Arlington and you’re tired of driving into Cambridge for a colorist you trust, Robert’s Salon and Spa is closer than you think. We’re at 66 Leonard Street in Belmont Center — about two and a half miles from Arlington Center, straight down Pleasant Street — and Arlington is far and away the largest group of clients we see from outside Belmont.
For more than 30 years we’ve built a reputation 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 round out the menu, so the whole visit happens in one place.
Arlington has plenty of salons. What it doesn’t have much of is easy parking, or a color room with a bench deep enough that you’re not waiting three weeks for an appointment.
Belmont Center has metered street parking and municipal lots. Anyone who has tried to park in Arlington Center on a Saturday morning knows what that’s worth.
Two-thirds of what we do is color work, with Goldwell professional color and Kérastase treatments.
A full team of master colorists and stylists means real availability, including evenings.
Color, cut, blowout, keratin, waxing and facials under one roof — you’re not booking three appointments in three places.
