this meets practically none of your requests, lol, but i always have to recommend sara at liquid on tremont street. a haircut is $40, but i go to no one else because it's great to be relaxed in the chair knowing she won't ruin things :p

i just got my hair cut today for the first time in a year, and wanted to keep it long but just get rid of the fuzzy bits at the end and that's exactly what she did. she's also the ONLY person to never cut bangs to short so they'll 'last longer' which really is code for 'you'll have too short awkward hair for about two or three weeks, enjoy!'
