Cousins Carlo and Umberto Rossetti opened this stylish salon in Somerville's Ball Square in Feb. 2006. A larger-than-life lithograph of beauty icon Marilyn Monroe greet patrons at Salon CU in an environment that embraces the young, up-and-coming artistic community in Somerville. Both Carlo and Umberto have completed classes at the renowned Vidal Sasson Hair Academy, so the quality of the color and cuts coming from this salon is top-notch.
