Moving to Boston

Salons and Dry Cleaners

Salons
• Bella Sante (Newbury)
• Athena Aveda Salon (Copley Square; Olga is fabulous for a haircut or color, but be prepared to pay $60+. Kim is also good.)
• My Nails (2 spots, one across from Prudential Mall and one in South End – best and longest lasting pedicure I have had in Boston).
• Giacomo & Rondi at Kenmore.
• Beaucage on Newbury. I know a lot of girls who use this place. We all go to Vivienne. It's expensive, but she does a great blonde highlight.
• Aveda Salon Harvard Square. I get my hair cut there. I've heard they do a nice job for nails. Pyara in Harvard Sq is an Aveda Salon that people really seem to like.
•Avanti Salon 11 Newbury Street, Boston, MA 02116-3151, (617) 267-4027
• Snip-It’s in Shoppers World in Natick. Just walk-in while you are out shopping for the day. It’s a great place just for kids.
• Salon Cu A little off the beaten path in Sommerville, but very reasonable for women's cuts & color.
• Sasha’s Salon (Arrow Street, Cambridge)
• W Salon 169 W. Sringfield Street # A, Boston 02118. Ask for Will. It’s a great African American hair salon.
• Carriage House On Church Street for a wax. They are amazing!
• Diego’s ask for Renee, she is great and has been there 15 years.
• Perfect Tan located in Allston. Recommended for spray tans!
• The Hair Cuttery located in Harvard Square. Good place to get your haircut if you are a guy and aren’t too fussy. The haircuts are under $20 (with tip), but you can’t make a reservation unless you are getting your hair colored or something.

Dry Cleaners and Tailors
• Dry Cleaner (Cambridge cleaners). on campus: SFP Building 1 (next to the preschool playground) open Tuesdays &Thursdays 7:30pm-9:30pm, and Saturdays 2:00-4:00pm drop off Tuesday night - pick up Thursday night.
• Flint Dry Cleaners Overpriced, but I keep going back to b/c they are the closest ones.
• Zoots Dry Cleaners Porter Sq, they've always been great and give out good coupons
• Erin's Cleansers on Ellery & Mass in Harvard Square.
• Bush Dry Cleaners 617-492-2874 Free Pick up and Delivery. Very easy to work with!
• Rizzo for my tailoring - he is pricey but really excellent. He custom makes suits so he really knows what he is doing and takes care in his work. He also sews the original hem back on jeans.
• Jack's tailoring and dry cleaning. Did a good job on my husband's pants. Cash only!
• Hillside Cleaner - they do same day dry cleaning for no additional charge (a life saver during recruiting season) and I think they are the cheapest in Harvard Sq.
