Professional hairdye without sacrificing firstborn? (+1)

[contradictacat.livejournal.com]

I'm getting tired of trying to get my hair to take dye properly when doing it myself, and I'm wondering where I can go to get a professional dyejob. I wouldn't be looking for anything too outlandish, so pretty much everywhere is up for consideration. Has to be T (or bus)-accessible, and I'm looking for a place that won't be insanely expensive. I'm not sure if it's the generally accepted price, but a lot of the places I've seen around here have been about 70-80 dollars. If that's the general price, then fine, but if I can find a cheaper place, that would be great. Thanks!

Also- does anyone know of any fancy spa-type places or beauty supply stores in the general Boston area that would have products for sale? I'm mostly looking for fancy nail polish, and most of the nail places that I've seen don't sell the polish they use. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and Sephora now sells O.P.I. polish. It's a special line of O.P.I. developed for Sephora, so you won't find O.P.I. classic colors like "I'm Not Really A Waitress" there.

Also, at least as of yesterday, they don't actually have the line for sale yet. From what I can tell on their website, it'll be out Sept. 9?

I don't know if the local Sephora stores have the displays out yet, but it is available online now:
