Hair Stylist in Davis Square?

I need an excellent hair stylist in the Davis Square area. I have some strange specifications though.

1.) I'm shy, I don't like to talk to stylists very much unless I click with them. So someone who doesn't push their life story on me would be good.

2.) I prefer a woman.

3.) I'd like someplace that isn't so trendy that when I, a non-trendy person, walk in I don't feel welcome. Someplace nice, comfortable, with excellent customer service would be ideal.

4.) Good prices, of course.

5.) The stylist has to listen to me but also be able to give good suggestions.

I'm looking for a cut, possibly a color or a perm. Got any places to suggest?

Thanks!

It looks like an old-lady salon, and it sort of is, but I've always had good luck with Renaissance in Teele Square. Martha, the owner, is very low-key and a good stylist. And it's cheap! (I've only had cuts there; nothing fancier.)

Nice! Being a sort of old lady salon, can they do current cuts? I'm sure they can, just thought I'd ask.

Sure. My cut is fairly simple, but current (uh, I think...). I went in at one point and said, "I don't know what to do with my hair. Help!" And she came up with something great.

Yay! Thanks for understanding my question, hope I didn't offend you.

Sorry, I have to chuckle at this. The 'current cuts' are nothing more then spin offs of older styles. There is no such thing as a new style when it comes to hair, or fashion really but that is an arguement for another time.

Anyways, yeah, they can cut your hair without making you look like an old lady.

I agree with you that fashion and hair cuts are constantly revolving. And I know that current cuts are just spinoffs of old ones. However I am sure there are new ways of doing things that come along. I would prefer someplace that has a pulse on the latest and greats tricks to make me look and feel fabulous.

I thought the original poster did an excellent job at understanding and answering my question.
