Brazilian Blowout Near Somerville, MA | Brazilian Blowout Boston
Brazilian Blowout Specialist Serving Somerville Clients
Somerville has exploded over the past decade. Great restaurants, a thriving creative scene, and no shortage of salon options. But when it comes to finding someone who does Brazilian Blowouts exclusively, the options narrow quickly. That's where I come in. My name is Franny Flynn, and I operate a private salon at 147 Beach Street in Quincy where Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatments are the only service on the menu.
The drive from Somerville to Quincy is about 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic and which part of Somerville you're coming from. Davis Square to my door can be done in under half an hour during off-peak hours. Several of my regular clients live in Somerville and have told me that once they found a genuine specialist, trying to find someone closer stopped making sense.
Why Somerville Residents Choose Brazilian Blowout Boston
Somerville has plenty of great salons. I know that. But here's the thing: being a great salon and being a great Brazilian Blowout provider are two different skill sets. Most stylists are trained as generalists. They do cuts, color, blowouts, updos, and maybe offer a smoothing treatment as an add-on. I took the opposite approach. I stopped doing everything else in 2016 and made Brazilian Blowouts my entire focus. I'd been doing smoothing treatments since 2009, so the foundation was already there. Going exclusive just accelerated everything.
Over 10,000 treatments later, I can tell you the difference is stark. When you do one thing all day, every day, for years, you develop an understanding of the work that's impossible to get any other way. I can look at someone's hair during the consultation and accurately predict how it will respond to the treatment. I know which hair types need more product, which need less, which need higher heat, which need a gentler approach. That knowledge translates directly to better results.
One thing I always clarify: a Brazilian Blowout smooths hair. It does not straighten it. If you want pin-straight hair, that's a different conversation. What I deliver is reduced frizz, added shine, improved manageability, and smoother texture. The degree of smoothing depends on your natural hair, and I'm always upfront about that.
What Makes Us Different
Total Dedication to One Treatment
I'm not a salon that happens to offer Brazilian Blowouts. I'm a Brazilian Blowout studio. Every piece of equipment, every product on my shelf, every hour of my continuing education is focused on this one treatment. That level of dedication is rare in the industry. Read more about the science behind it on my Brazilian Blowout page.
Solo Practitioner, No Handoffs
From the moment you sit down to the moment you leave, I'm the only one touching your hair. There's no assistant rinsing while I start on another client. There's no handoff during the critical processing stage. Every step is mine, and that consistency is part of why my results are so reliable.
Ventilation That Matters
Working in a private salon doing chemical smoothing treatments every day means ventilation is non-negotiable. I've built out a professional-grade air filtration system that keeps the environment clean and comfortable. It's something you'll notice when you compare my space to a typical salon.
A Portfolio of Real Results
I've documented thousands of transformations. My before and after gallery shows real clients with real results. No filters, no tricks. Just the treatment doing its job on every type of hair you can imagine.
Services & Pricing
I customize every treatment to the client. Hair length, density, texture, condition, and personal goals all factor into how I approach your appointment. Full pricing and estimated appointment times are listed on my pricing and appointment length page. Questions before booking? Call me at (857) 753-9884.
Getting Here from Somerville
The most direct route from Somerville is to take I-93 South straight down to Quincy. From Davis Square or Union Square, hop on I-93 via the McGrath Highway or Route 28. The drive is about 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. From Assembly Row area, it's even quicker. My salon at 147 Beach Street has parking available on-site, so you won't have to deal with the street parking hassle that comes with living in Somerville. If you prefer the T, the Red Line runs from Davis Square to Quincy, though driving is typically faster door to door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I drive to Quincy when there are salons in Somerville that offer this?
Great question. The answer is specialization. A Somerville salon might offer Brazilian Blowouts as one of 30 services. Their stylist might do a few per month. I do them every single day and have for over a decade. The difference in quality is measurable and visible. My clients from Somerville figured this out, and that's why they keep coming back.
How long does the treatment last?
Results typically hold for 10 to 12 weeks. Some clients, especially those with finer hair, get even longer. Proper aftercare with sulfate-free products makes a big difference in longevity.
I have really thick, coarse hair. Will this work?
Thick, coarse hair is actually one of the best candidates for a Brazilian Blowout. The treatment tames bulk, reduces frizz, and cuts your blow-dry time dramatically. I've done hundreds of treatments on thick, coarse hair and the transformations are always impressive.
Can I still curl or style my hair after?
Absolutely. A Brazilian Blowout doesn't lock you into one style. Your hair will still hold a curl, accept heat styling, and respond to products. The difference is that your starting point is smoother, shinier, and more manageable, so whatever style you choose looks better.
Is there a wait period after the treatment?
No. With Brazilian Blowout, you can wash, clip, tie up, and exercise the same day. There's no 72-hour waiting period like older smoothing systems required. This is one of the biggest selling points of the product.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead, especially during the spring and summer when demand spikes. Check my availability here.
What should I do to prepare?
Show up with clean, dry hair. No heavy oils, leave-ins, or styling products. That's all the prep you need.
Do you offer any other services?
No. Brazilian Blowout is my entire practice. If you need a cut or color, I'd recommend doing that with your regular stylist before your Brazilian Blowout appointment with me.
