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!

I like Hair Co at 1 porter square (Same floor as Pier One). And you can make a reservation online. Jodi does great color (and any color you want).

I thought hair co was pricey. At least it seems that way from their site and after talking to Jody. It probably depends. I've looked everywhere in the area for cheap cuts and color and have yet to find any place aside from Fashionway in union. I'm not sure how to add a link but they have a site. I haven't gone there since I haven't found any reviews on them yet. Strangely enough there is a law [act] that states a salon can't charge a woman more but most do anyway. $40 for a cut is ridiculous. I'm going to look at the place mentioned a few replies above. The place in Meadowglen is called "90's nails". Don't be put off by the name it's been there since the 90's, lol.
