Hello there!  Andrea, of Little Bald Doctors, pointed me to your blog today.  Girl, I am so homesick for Boston it's not even funny!  I will have to read some of your other posts to find out your whole story & what you think of Boston.  BUT!  In the meantime - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my stylist in Boston.  In fact, I love her so much I don't want to go to anyone else while I'm living in New York (& it's NYC!  I'm sure there are amazing stylists here!)
Anyway.  Her name is Alicia and she works for Dellaria Salons in Kenmore Square.  I don't know where you've been going in Boston but I'm sure you've probably heard or seen Dellaria salons in the city - they seem to be everywhere.  But Alicia only works at the branch in Kenmore Square & is there Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays.  She's been cutting my hair since I was nineteen & I've never gotten a cut I didn't like.  She's super friendly & nice & not at all snobby like some of the stylists it sounds like you've encountered.  (In fact, when she was out on maternity leave she gave me the names of two other people she thought I'd like to get my hair cut from.)  Even though she's been cutting my hair for a little under ten years she still listens to what I want everytime I visit her and follows through with it (i.e. I am big on low-matience hair and it must always be able to all go back into a ponytail.  She always remembers this!)  I honestly cannot say enough nice things about her.
I hope you get in to see her & like her as much as I do!  (The number for her salon is 617-262-8750)
Good luck and keep me posted if you do see her!
