Best place for a haircut

Bostonians know that a good haircut is an essential part of any wardrobe; bad hair days are almost as painful as watching the Red Sox was this season. And many of the city's best-coifed go to one of the bright and modern Dellaria Salons for their fashion fixes. Whether you get your tresses trimmed at the location on Newbury Street or on Harvard in the heart of Brookline, you'll be sure to get a flattering style that isn't impossible to replicate at home. The affordable prices will leave you with enough leftover change to purchase some of Dellaria's own styling products, which will make your hair behave even when you're late for work or hung-over from last night's happy hour.

If you're the victim of hair color gone bad, head to Judy Jetson near Porter Square in Cambridge. Don't worry about the name; we promise you won't leave looking like Mr. Spacely. Judy specializes in corrective covering, for those times when your strawberry-blond color comes out looking more like rotten tomato. The fun stylists are happy to give you a cut that suits you, and everyone from three-year-old toddlers to 70-year-old grandmas comes out looking like a million bucks.

Dellaria, 73 Newbury Street, Boston, (617) 267-5100; 623 Comm Ave, Boston, (617) 262-8750; 78 Summer Street, Boston, (617) 350-7868; 322 Harvard Street, Brookline, (617) 277-0077; and other locations. Judy Jetson, 1765 Mass Ave, Cambridge, (617) 354-2628.
