Our top priority is our clients' utmost satisfaction, and we continually seek ways to make your vision a reality. Since 1991, Amal Niccoli has consistently won several awards from the Somerville Times, Somerville News, and Somerville Journal for its outstanding service and quality. In addition, the salon was awarded Small Business of the Year from the Somerville Chamber of Commerce in 2005. 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. In addition, products are always sodium lauryl sulfate-free, phthalate-free, and paraben-free. Read more about Aveda's mission to set an example for the world in terms of beauty and responsibility. Murad, one of Amal Niccoli's primary skin care lines, was founded by dermatologist and trained pharmacist Dr. Murad in 1989 with the goal of focusing on overall wellness to promote anti-aging and beauty from the inside out. Known as "The Father of Internal Skincare," Dr. Murad has received much notoriety for his innovative research in both dietary supplements and topical use of Alpha Hydroxy Acids to improve skin care at the cellular level.

 Lori Pino, Owner of Amal Niccoli

Lori Pino's interest in cosmetology and hair care began at Somerville High School, where she became a graduate of the third cosmetology course offered at the school. After graduating, she started her career at Leon and Company in Belmont, and then returned to her Somerville roots to work at Hairline, and eventually, Amal Niccoli in 1985. At the same time, she worked towards and earned her Associates Degree in Business Management from Bunker Hill. Upon its completion in 1988, she took a leap and moved to California to land a job growing and managing a hair salon for a big Japanese corporation. A couple years and a wealth of experience later, Lori again returned to Somerville, where she ended up purchasing Amal Niccoli, and ultimately moving the business to its current location in Ball Square. Lori prides herself on selecting only the best products for her clients. A carrier of both Murad and Aveda products, the salon's focus is on natural beauty and overall wellness. In fact, throughout her career and life, Lori found herself continually interested in health, and was particularly drawn to natural ways to improve balance in the body. This curiosity is what piqued her interest in studying Ayruveda, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing with origins in India (and the basis for Aveda products). Lori privately studied this medicine for 10 years, and, inspired by the profound effect that herbs could have on health, decided to pursue a formal degree in herbal medicine. In 2011, she graduated from a four-year Masters degree program in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture. Shortly thereafter, she built and opened KenkoDo, a wellness clinic focused on acupuncture, massage, and Chinese herbal medicine, located next door to Amal Niccoli in Ball Square.
