Hairdressers suggestions - long hair

[ksushis.livejournal.com]

I'm starting a new job on Monday - in fact that would be my first job ever, and I wanted to do a more "professional" look - after years in grad school:). This would be the second time I cut my hair in the US, so I have basically zero experience. First and last time here I went to Salon CU and saw Summer for highlights/hair cut. It was OK but I wasn't really thrilled (maybe because she didn't really talk to me much so I felt kind of awkward). Also, it was rather expensive (I think I ended up paying 100 with tip)... So, I'm looking again for a place to just cut my hair - and maybe style it a bit for a reasonable amount of money where they wouldn't screw it up. I have mid-back long hair and probably would want to make it about shoulder-long or a bit longer.
Thanks so much and sorry if that's been asked here before (I did look at the "hair" posts though).

davis dream

I dreamt that the inauguration was in Davis Square. I had some adventures on the way there from Central, but unfortunately I woke up before I actually got there (and before it started), so I can't tell you what it was (would've been?) like.

Canning jars?

Hi, everyone. Where does a person find home canning jars around here? I haven't seen them at Market Basket, or at China Fair, where I expected to see them. Anyone seen any? Is there a secret repository? EDIT: TAGS Hardware has a good off-season supply of canning jars. Thanks, everyone!
