Our Story

HAIR by Christine & Co. is an inclusive, independently owned hair salon in Somerville, Massachusetts, founded by Christine McSheehy in 2011. What began as Somerville Native, Christine’s dream has grown into a talented team of artists who genuinely love helping people feel confident, seen, and completely themselves.

Our salon is known for creative and vivid color, blonding, balayage, dimensional color, gray blending, curly hair, precision cutting, extensions, wigs, scalp care, and gender-affirming services. Every stylist brings their own specialties, personality, and creativity to the team, allowing clients to find an artist who truly understands their hair, their lifestyle, and the experience they want in the chair.

Christine’s biggest passions are creative color and teaching people how to understand and love their natural curls. Whether we’re creating a rainbow transformation, helping someone embrace their texture, transitioning into their natural gray, or designing a haircut that finally feels like them, our goal is always bigger than simply doing hair.

We proudly welcome clients of every gender, identity, age, hair type, and background. We believe hair has no gender, self-expression should never be judged, and everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable in a salon. Our space is LGBTQIA+ affirming, judgment-free, and filled with artists who care just as much about how you feel as they do about how your hair looks.

Our team is committed to continued education, honest consultations, healthy hair, and customized results—because no two people or heads of hair are the same. Some of us are chatty, some are laid-back, and most of us have big personalities and even bigger hearts. Whatever kind of salon experience makes you most comfortable, we’ll meet you there.

At HAIR by Christine & Co., you’re never expected to fit into a box. Come as you are, express yourself freely, and leave feeling like the absolute badass you were always meant to be.

Let us help you, be your beautiful self always!
