HOT IN HAIR
Stay on the cutting edge with these four new salons
UNLIKE the expansive pampering palaces of the aughts, New York’s newest hair salons are smaller-scale and specialized. The boutiquelike spaces offer unique techniques and speedy services for people who need to look good quick. Here’s a look at beauty’s new berths.
SYNCHRONIZED CHIC: Same time, same place. That’s the concept behind Tribeca’s MB45 Studio, which provides simultaneous hair and nail services. “Sometimes a team of three will get the task done when a client has a lot of hair,” says Fernanda Lacerda, who co-founded the studio, which opened earlier this year, with Manuela Giannini. (The pair also own Maria Bonita Salon & Spa in Nolita.) The MB45 signature combo is a shampoo, blowout and mani in 45 minutes; add-ons include braiding and makeup application for additional fees ($ 65 for the double play of hair and nails; MB45Studio.com). FREEFR FORM: Texturizing scissscissors in hand, superstylist RossanoRoss Ferretti, or one of his hhighly trained pros, will perfperform “Il Metodo,” aka his “invinvisible haircut” — manesculsculpting with no obvious layelayers or hard lines — at his newnew Midtown digs. “You see thethe mmovement, but you don’t see the cut,” Ferretti tells The PoPost. Bonus: Ferretti’s fraggrant, sulfate-free produucts are on tap ($ 200 and up for a cut; RF.RossanoFerretti.com). QUICK COIFS: “We’re about a lifestyle of great hhair days,” says Erika WWasser, founder of
Glam & Go, a “rapidly expanding expressstyling chain at multipple locations. On the menu: 15-minute drystyling; 30-minute wash aand blowout; and more. New locations in Chelsea, Astor Place, Columblumbus Circle and Upper EastEast Side soon to come (fromrom $25 for dry-hair blowoutout ; GlamAndGo.com).
CROWNING GLORY: For braids, locs, twists and weaves in vibrant hues, plus cuts and conditioning treatments, head to Debra Hare-Bey Private Par
lour, a natural-hair salon in a new Stuyvesant Heights venue. The master braider often incorporates unusual materials such as yarn in her creations. “You don’t have to color your hair — [you can] have fun and colorplay through your extensions,” Hare-Bey says. The atelier is located in the back of her store, OMhh Beauty Oasis, which carries her vegan products ($ 375 and up for extensions; 407 Lewis Ave., Brooklyn; 718-858-6644).
