Love that chicken from Popeyes

What you want is someone who knows how to cut curly hair. Have you looked into what kind of curly hair you have? There's lots of different factors and textures when it comes to curly hair. There's a whole subreddit on here dedicated to it, and getting it cut is a whole different thing.

Edit to add: r/curlyhair is the subreddit

This is amazing! Thank you so much :) could you shoot me a text? My number is 508-983-4913

Jessica the owner is great and everyone here is super trans-friendly and an ally.

If you have transportation to get out to West Boylston, my partner and I have both loved our experiences with D at LuLu Beauty Co in regards to both queer/trans inclusiveness and talented styling for curly hair (in the 3b range for me)

I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately I have no idea what I want done. Most pictures I look at don't really click with me lol

Also, wherever you choose to go, bring pictures! I always bring pictures of different styles that may work and it's definitely easier than trying to explain what you want done to your hair.

At least as far as Rat's Nest goes, I think it's mostly based on experience, as others have said.

Strong third! I have always felt uncomfortable getting my hair cut and now that I've discovered Rat's Nest, I look forward to it! They are absolutely inclusive, super nice, and can definitely give you pointers if you are not sure what you want to do with your hair. Jenna cuts my hair, and Carissa owns the place and is also fantastic. I don't know the other stylists, but I'm sure they are equally talented and cool.

Awesome, thanks! I've driven past it a few times but never remembered the name.

The salon on the corner or Sunderland and Grafton Street has a trans-pride flag in the window, so they might have trans clientele.

Ok thank you!!

Price variation mostly reflects seniority/experience, which can drive quality, but you're safe with anyone there! Check out their IG profiles/past work to see whose work/speciality best reflects your style.

ETA good luck and have fun! IMO trying new hairstyles and enjoying time at the salon is one of the great pleasures of being a woman :)

I'm really new to most of this, how do you go about choosing a person, especially when their prices vary so much. Does that reflect quality at all?

That would be the one!

Strong second for Rat's Nest! Super inclusive, talented and kind squad.

Well for style I'm not really sure, I've done a lot of looking and not much has really clicked. Personally I have quite curly hair.

Textured petite in westboro!!

That's definitely a good idea , thank you!!

> and it's still so unfriendly for anything but cars

every time i attempt to use the bike lane there are cars parked in it. if the city had any actual interest in bicycle infrastructure it would enforce and maintain said infrastructure. instead it just meets the bare minimum to receive federal money, paints the lines and forgets.

someone should do something with it, like tear it down, it's an eyesore.

That's the one with the progress pride flag in the window, yeah?

my stylist Nicole Bjorkland works at mane & is wonderful. she and I have had in depth conversations about sexuality and gender identity (I'm queer).

The right question.

If you're in school, /u/Jade_of_the_Sea36, you're probably also attending class every day with others who may have hair similar to yours with hair styles you admire. There's nothing wrong with going up to someone and asking where they got their hair done. You may even make a new friend.

I am not trans but I have been seeing Nikki at the Den for... 4 years? 5 years? Many years at this point, she is wonderful and kind and does a great cut, and I know for an absolute fact she has kicked people out before for being transphobic. She used to work at Sage & Grace and now has her own salon, so it's a very low-key environment if you have any questions and are looking for a safe, judgement-free zone! https://www.vagaro.com/thedenorganichairstudio
