Hair Salon Suggestions - Boston Area?


HI - wondering if anyone in the Boston area has a suggestion for a hair salon that works with a natural style of Biracial/African American hair?

My daughter (12) is biracial - and has VERY thick curly hair.  We did go to a local Cambridge salon once and they insisted the best way to go was the chemical straightening etc.  She looked great for a day - but didn’t want anything to do with the upkeep- and I have concerns about putting so many chemcials on the head of such a young girl.  However, now she just wears her hair up in a bun and we haven’t ventured out for any real care or styling.  I’d like to get her working with a salon that can style her hair naturally and give her(me) advice on care. We are in Cambridge but could venture out of the city if needed.

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
Hope all is well, I think you made a great choice not to put chemicals in her hair, being she so young. There are tons of african hair braiding salons in Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan.
