Best beauty supply store in Somerville, Massachusetts (MA) 2025

I came to print out passport photos. Kiosk wasn't working; wasted about 1/2 hour. Worst, the associate who was in the middle of helping me said, "Oh! It's 4 o'clock! I'm done for the day" and just left me to grab several bags of candy. The guy behind the counter said, yeah, I'll help you immediately. As I waited there for him to help me, I literally watched the candy-loving associate get checked out with all his candy by the same guy behind the counter. You just can't make this up. I left with no passport photos and a sense of bafflement. ~Kimberly

this walgreens is aggressively understaffed, which, whatever, i get it. i came in for a covid booster (with an appointment), it took 40 minutes even though i was one of two people there. this is all annoying but again, not a big deal!! i’m leaving a review because the person vaccinating me was super weird about the tattoos on my upper arms (which are like, generic nature tattoos) and was telling me that they can’t vaccinate you through tattoos. these are not new tattoos, they weren’t healing, so i don’t know what the concern would have been. i have received many vaccines through these tattoos. also, this isn’t TRUE, except maybe of a pox vaccine, which i wasn’t receiving. Overall this was really off putting and since I assume i’m not the only person with an upper arm tattoo to get a vaccine at this walgreens (lol), i’m passing it on. ~Meg

Very friendly, welcoming staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back again for photo prints! ~Bleh
