I kept hearing about Dana at M Salon on Mass Ave - that he was the Boston mecca of curlyheads who'd suffered bad haircuts at the hands of others. It turns out he was okay. He is very sensitive to your needs, even cautious. He looked at my hair thoroughly when it was dry, before he washed it (I am dying to find a good dry cut in Boston, so if you know one, drop me a line please!). The washing was lackluster and the styling was awful - he basically smeared a bunch of gel in my hair and then raked his hand through while blow drying it. But once I got home and washed it myself it turned out the cut was okay. It got better as it grew out, and at two months it was perfect. I'm still saving my pennies to go to Devachan in NYC twice a year; Dana's a good price ($45) in a pinch.
