Yelp.com Review - by Benjamin C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Ok, so, as a preface, I have an enormous Samson complex. When it comes to hair, I'm pretty much as vain as humanly possible. So when I say that Helen at Savvy is an absolute god, this is where I'm...

The best hair salon in Cambridge, by far

Helen has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now, and she is the most sensitive, skilled, and customer-oriented hair stylist I have ever met. I am writing this review at my own peril, since now Savvy Hair...
