Hi all.

I'm looking for recommendations for getting good haircuts in the Davis Square or Spring Hill area.

What I'm hoping for is a short cut, either femme or androgynous, that does not require product or hair clips to look good.

I live very close to Hair by Christine & Co at Highland Avenue and Cedar Street, and I love their window paintings but I don't know if that correlates with good haircuts ; )

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone known what happened to Salon Mia Bella (also known as Salon D'Elegance) on Mass Ave at Dover Street? I've been getting my hair cut there every few months, but when I tried going there today, they appeared to be out of business.

Is there anywhere in the Davis Square area where one can buy Manic Panic? The only place I know of is Sally Beauty at the Twin City Plaza, which isn't all that convenient.

thanks!

Hey,

I'm looking to investigate getting my (white-person) hair backcombed and starting some dreads. My big question is: has anyone had the same thing done at a salon nearby? I'm thinking Judy Jetson would be the most likely place, but I've heard some icky things about that salon and am kind of torn about whether to try it. Would also take any advice about dreads in general... I'm harboring a hope that I can get them and still look professional (within the context of being a writer/Camberville resident) but am not totally sure whether some of the dreads I see that i like are real or extensions.

Thanks!

Dente's is closed for vacation and I need to get a haircut this weekend. Any recommendations?

I don't wear my hair super short so I'd need a place than can do scissor cuts as opposed to buzz cuts, which seem to be more the norm these days.

Thanks

Does anyone know of a place in the area where one could get a child's hair braided (aka cornrows, although I'm not sure whether that term is considered offensive)? I know that they do it at Snip-Its but would rather not go all the way to Burlington.

Thanks!

I've colored my hair black for years, and finally want to make the change...to my natural light brunette color. Where do I go for coloring that looks natural and is $150 or less to lighten and then change my hair color?

Bonus points for being in Camberville, but I'll go wherever to get this done properly.

Two unrelated questions:

= I'm looking for a cheap wash+cut. I have places I like for styling, but I'm still in my post-partum hair loss stage and I just want a trim of my existing cut to hopefully get things a little more under control. We have in close range a SuperCuts, GreatCuts, and Hair Cuttery, all of which have $15 wash & cuts. Which is best? Are any to be avoided?

= Where nearby do you think would have rolls of magnetic sheeting? 8.5x11 won't be large enough. I've tried a smattering of hardware and art supply stores to no avail. (Alternately, if you have some large sheets or a roll that you're willing to part with for love or money, let me know.)

Thanks!

So today was my last chemo! Huzzah! So, a few related questions:

1. Anyone have any connections that could be helpful to getting discounted/free appetizers at a bar for a group of 15-20 young adult cancer survivors on a somewhat regular basis? I'm the co-chair of the Boston Chapter of i[2]y which is an org for people diagnosed between 15-40 and I've been seriously slacking at organizing a Stupid Cancer Pub Crawl. Ideally would be close to the red line, have space for a small group, and feel bad for us so they give us things for free. :P Cancer is expensive and I'm poor, what can I say? Alternatively, if you are another young adult cancer survivor and would like to be involved in a cool organization with people who get it, let me know!


2. So, what's left of my hair is in this really weird half grown state. I cut it down to about an inch when it started falling out and now, 3 months later, it's thinned significantly and I have hair anywhere from barely sprouted to a shaggy 2+ inches. It also sticks straight up Sonic the Hedgehog style. I always had my hair long and want to grow it long again, so I'm at a loss of what to do with it. Anyone have a salon/stylist suggestion for someone who is adept at short hair styles on women, as well as helping style and cut growing out hair, and not look like a crazy mullet? 


3. Only semi related, but feel bad for me, I just went through 6 months of chemo. :P I'm looking for a desk that is smaller than the one I currently have for my desktop. I don't really care what it is as long as it will hold my monitor and keyboard. The one I have now is too big in my very small room, so I'd like to move it back to the kitchen to be used as a shelf. Does anyone happen to be getting rid of one for Sept 1?  I can take away anything that will fit in my Civic. Thanks!

Does anybody know where I can buy mustache combs?    I know they sell them at CVS, but they are pre-packaged with some shitty mustache wax and cost 5.99.  They are small and get lost easily so I would like to buy a couple at a cheaper price.

Six weeks ago, at Salon Femia, a stylist named Bridget gave me a wonderful cut.  I called this week for an appointment and she is no longer there ... would anyone know to which salon she moved?

Looking to get a perm soon, and I know that can be a bit tricky--any recommendations on who's good at inducing that supercurly natural-girl look?

Also, I'm finally fed up with the leg-waxing at Davis Square Nails & Spa; they're cheap and fast, but I always end up with leftover wax on my legs and not a whole lot less hair. Other recommendations? I don't really care about the Salon Experience--I just want smooth legs.

hi friends,

i need to get a packet of hair bleach (not boxed dye). i already have tons of the developer, but i'm almost out of the powder and it won't be enough to do my hair now that it's longer.

i used to go to sally's when i lived in quincy and it was right around the corner - the closest one to me now appears to be the one in somerville but i was just wondering if there might be a place closer that has it, around arlington/fresh pond.

thanks!

[livejournal.com profile] juldea and I both need to get our hair trimmed. We're both quite fond of our long hair, but have let damaged ends grow out for way too long, and are looking to get trims from someone who can figure out how much needs to go, but still understands the meaning of "just a trim". Once upon a time Juldea had a person named Helen at a place called Savvy who got it, but unfortunately she no longer works there.

Recommendations? Cheap is good, too.

Hi I checked the tags and didn't see exactly what I was looking for.

Does anyone know of a good place to get curly hair cut?

I lived in the Davis Square area years ago and recently moved back, and it seemed like there has been a lot of changes since I lived here. I was walking down Mass Ave, between Porter and Harvard, and it seemed like there were a ton of new places.


I'm willing to pay up to $45 dollars for a really good cut. I was also thinking of maybe getting some color done, but I'm not as concerned about that. The cut is more of a priority. I'm looking kind of shaggy here, folks.

I'm preparing for a surprise night on the town and I'm looking for a "Beauty Salon/SPA" where I can take the GF to get a blow-out and get made up.

I thought it would be an easy thing to find - on the old continent all you have to do is get your significant other to a beauty salon where they'll primp her out in 30 minutes  and voila... you got yourself a presentable girlfriend.  From my search here it  seems that the beauty market is very segregated - you go to a hair salon to get your hair done, you go to nail salon to get your nails done, you go to a spa to get a facial or massage.

Any suggestions on where I can find a all inclusive beauty pit-stop?

My husband is looking for recommendations for a place to get a haircut.
He has curly hair (medium curly) that he is interested in keeping not super short, with some sort of nice shape.
He is specifically looking for someone who knows what they are doing with curly hair, and can do more than just the basic supercuts-style short clipper cut.
Not too expensive would be great.
Any recommendations from people with similar hair needs?

ETA: Thanks for the suggestions everyone! We'll definitely check these out. Further thoughts/recommendations obviously still welcome.

Hi All,

Just wanted to give a recommendation for anyone looking for a good simple haircut in the square.

I just went to Dentes on Highland Ave and it was a great experience.

I had let my hair get a little too long after years of shaving my head, so I was a little nervous to see what about what would happen when I finally went to get it cut.

They did a great job, and it was totally reasonable.

My two year old barely recognized me when I got home.

It did not seem really busy in there today so I figured I would spread the word.

Can anyone advise where a cheap place is to get a buzz cut somewhere in Sombridge area.  I am at the point where I'm getting a 1/2 and I'd like to do it like once a month or so.  Since it takes 5 minutes I think it should be less expensive than the normal haircut I've been getting (14+tip) but that doesn't seem to be happening in their pricing structure.  I haven't been successful at doing it myself in the past-it never seems to come off easy like it does at the hair place.
