Both small Beacon Hill salons have a devoted following.
This week we asked you who keeps you looking beautiful. We wanted to know who you trust with your hair. All our locally owned salons got votes, but the chain Supercuts did not. Mayfair on the Hill tallied the most votes, at five. But The Green Room garnered four despite its very late addition to the list. Katy Delgado said that The Green Room has the "best colorist on the hill!" We're doing a poll on Best Place to Have a Casual Dinner next week. Want to nominate a restaurant that should be included in our poll? Send your nomination. This will allow us to be sure we don't leave anyone out. Voting starts at 9 a.m. Monday.
