About Amal Niccoli 


​Despite popular assumption, there is no person named "Amal Niccoli'," but rather the salon's name is a composite of the names of the two Somerville natives who first established the business back in 1985.  The current owner, Lori Pino, has made the salon a staple of Somerville since its purchase in 1991 and its move back to the heart of Ball Square in 1995.  Since then, Amal Niccoli has taken pride in hiring and retaining Somerville residents as the majority of its staff, which characterizes its welcoming, friendly environment.  Our top priority is our clients' utmost satisfaction, and we continually seek ways to make your vision a reality. 

Core to Amal Niccoli's values is creating beauty with exceptional products.  Amal Niccoli only uses the highest quality Aveda and Murad products, two brands that are well-known in the industry for superior results.  Aveda creates all-natural, environmentally-responsible products without sacrificing quality in hair and skin care. Aveda products are certified organic, sourced from sustainable or renewable plant-based origins, and do not negatively impact the ecosystems from which they are sourced.  
​
Amal Niccoli offers hair, lash, makeup, tanning and waxing services. Our sister clinic, Kenkodo, directly next store offers additional skin care services including facials, paraffin hand/foot treatments and more!

The minute you enter Amal Niccoli you pick up its friendly vibe. The stylists all seem to be in sync and get along really well which makes for a very comfortable environment. The shop itself is spacious, bright and clean, and because of its large space you never feel crowded as you often do in other city salons. I am a big fan of the Aveda and Murad lines which are the products of choice at the salon. And I keep returning as Lori helps keep my unruly locks under control.

Big moment for me there, finally decided to get rid of my very long hair and got what i believe is the best haircut I ever had! Just showed a picture for general inspiration but then Lori ended up doing something even better, in harmony with my hair type and face shape. Wonderful experience!

​Very flexible with scheduling. I have a compromised immune system and they went above and beyond making me feel safe. Courtney did a great cut and color on my thick, curly hair too.
