Best of Boston

Verde may call itself “earth-friendly” (they recycle almost everything, use paraben-free hair products and organic color, and even compost), but the salon is anything but granola. Styled with chic textured wallpaper and a reclaimed-wood wall (handmade by the owner), the space is so pretty you’ll want to hang around all day—but the stylists’ efficient, expertly rendered highlights and haircuts mean you won’t have to.
