Good black hair salon?

Hi, I'm starting grad school at Tufts next week and my hair is looking a mess. Does anyone have a black hair salon they can recommend? Everyone knows word of mouth is best when it comes to hair. Thanks!!

Is your hair straightened or natural?

I swear by Wendy Rapoza (http://www.wendyrapoza.com/) who works at Escape Spa in the South End. She's white, which made me nervous, but she has worked in black beauty shops around town, attends black hair shows and does a fantastic job cutting my natural hair. I assume she does straightened hair as well. I know she does a great job cutting curly and straight white hair. However, I don't think she does relaxers.
