COSMETICS & SPA
306 S. Main St.;
734-761-9350.
With an elegant but homey
ambience (imagine a
charming tin ceiling painted
navy and cream), this
boutique-spa hybrid is the
beauty destination in this
college town. Whether
you’re a local or a visitor,
consider it your go-to spot
to get that unfussy cool-
girl lob courtesy of hair
director Nikki Paton. A
Manhattan transplant who’s
worked with Nicole Kidman,
Paton delivers unforgettable
shampoos and head
massages (using Miriam
Quevedo’s decadent Glacial
White Caviar Shampoo and
Masque) before, say, taking
collarbone-grazing strands
to a chic shoulder length,
as she did for our tester.
After snipping off an inch
while hair was wet, Paton
switched to dry cutting, using
tiny scissors to snip into, and
subtly layer, only the ends.
The result
,
polished off
with Malin + Goetz Sage
Styling Cream ($22;
malinandgoetz

choppy finish
,
was
ideally tousled and
not, as our tester
reports, “a too-
perfect bob.”

BLACKSTONES
2 Ave. of the Americas;
646-666-0574.
In this bright white-on-white
salon located in the lobby of
TriBeCa’s hip Roxy Hotel,
you’ll find stylist, founder, and
hair genie Joey Silvestera.
“I showed him a picture of
model Alessandra Ambrosio,”
says our tester, “and he said,
‘I can give you that exact
cut,’and he did just that.
After a shampoo in the five-
chair space, Silvestera (who
kept a positive atmosphere,
complimenting our reporter’s
previously waist-reaching
haircut) snipped the length
and face-framing layers
before blow-drying. Once
hair was dry, he “edited” the
cut: “He asked if I wanted it
fuller on the bottom,” says
our tester. “But since my hair
tends to hang heavy, he
trimmed into the edges
instead.” Back in the Roxy
lobby in under an hour, our
tester had time to enjoy the
live band before taking her
new below-the-shoulder
waves out for the night.

When it’s all about the
bangs, Tre Wyrosdick (one
of several styling standouts
at this SoHo salon) has your
back. “He cut my hair to
suit my fringe,” says our
tester. After a quick consult,
Wyrosdick turned “grown-
out and side-swept” into
“blunt and wispy,” first cutting
bangs while wet, then
blow-drying to confirm that
he’d nailed the length. After
snipping the length to
achieve a “piecey texture
that could be attained
without a lot of styling
products,” Wyrosdick dried
our reporter’s hair and
grazed the cut with scissors
to add a “diffused softness”
to the lob. Days later, “the
cut actually made my fine
hair look and feel fuller,” says
our tester.

CAPELLA SALON
12930 Ventura Blvd., #216;
818-784-4247.
No stranger to professional
chops at curl-centric salons
like those from Carol’s
Daughter, Devachan, and
Ouidad, our tester swears
this snip was one of the best
she’s ever received. “I’ve
never had anyone take such
special care with my cut,” she
says of co-owner Shai Amiel,
who prepped our reporter
with pre-appointment
instructions (arrive with
product-free strands). Inside
the glass-front salon, situated
on a quiet upper level of a
Studio City mall, Amiel
worked first on dry hair,
taking a single lock at a time,
twisting it slightly then
snipping to reshape what he
discovered was a slightly
lopsided mane. His ringlet-by-
ringlet approach, combined
with shampoo and product-
cocktailing advice (with
Capella’s stock of DevaCurl
blends), took two and a half
hours. The payoff was that
magical melding of
“movement and definition”
without a side of high-
maintenance styling.

This gray bungalow
with black trim in West
Hollywood announces its
design cred right away,
with Shepard Fairey and
Warhol pieces perched for
sale on its gallery-white
walls. But what put our
tester immediately at ease
was her stylist, Dax
Sarmiento, who seemed to
“intuitively get the casual
vibe I was going for,” she
says. “He understood that
I wanted to use very little
product every day.” Getting
busy post-shampoo,
Sarmiento sectioned hair
then meticulously trimmed
ends to remove weight
from the bottom, spritzing
a conditioning hair mist
as he worked. After a
coat of hydrating oil and a
blow-dry, the stylist let
loose his perfectionist
streak, micro-cutting ends
and refining the allover
shape. Our tester left with
hot-ironed waves rendered
perfectly beachy thanks to
Davines This Is a Sea Salt
Spray ($28; us.davines.com).

Perfectionism meets
Beverly Hills panache at
Salon Kazumi, the luxe, zen
oasis of celebrity colorist
Kazumi Morton
who’s
been the hands (and eyes)
behind Zooey Deschanel’s
and Kristen Stewart’s rich
chocolate locks. Passing on
any bleach for our tester’s
hair (“It can get brassy,” she
says), Kazumi worked with
laser-like precision to add
warm caramel highlights that
would “melt right in” to our
reporter’s dark mane. While
our tester sipped matcha
green tea, Kazumi enhanced
the subtle shift with a few
well-placed foils. After 30
minutes under the dryer, the
hair was strengthened and
softened with an additional
cocktail of keratin, collagen,
and protein. Our tester,
post–wavy blowout, was
thrilled with her “I spent
three weeks in Hawaii” look.

Fekkai-trained Haleh Lekkos

nestled into a leather chair,
Lekkos proposed a fast way

glorious semipermanent
brunet shade. Our reporter
indulged in a party-worthy
blowout, but you can save

FOURTEEN JAY SALON
14 Jay St.;
646-869-5970.
If we’re suckers for snacks
(this TriBeCa find serves
sweet and savory, with a
drink menu that includes
champers), we also love a
salon that doesn’t shy away
from a challenge. Our tester
wanted to cover her
“prominent dark roots” and
go blond
very blond
but
not by way of a uniform
dye job. After an in-depth
consultation, co-owner David
Adams got busy on a full
head of highlights, working
in micro-sections and
without heat, to paint on
multidimensional color that
wouldn’t damage strands.
(The staff is big on hair
health, using natural Aveda
elixirs and often analyzing a
new client’s scalp with a
magnifying camera to tailor
product picks.) While
perfection took time (um,
hours), the result
with its mix
of sun-catching honey and
champagne, plus seamless
coverage of her roots
was
all our tester had hoped for.
REGULAR PRICE: Starting
at $165
INSTYLE DEAL: Starting

SPOKE & WEAL SOHO
147 Grand St.;
646-869-1052.
Calling it “one of the
coolest salons I’ve ever
been to,” our tester talked
up this SoHo spot’s West
Coast vibe and industrial
décor with wood floors,
exposed brick, and
“blow-dryers hanging from
the ceiling on pulleys.”
Also of note: You’re asked
to don a black T-shirt in
lieu of a cape. But if the
rough-hewn hipness made
an impression, it was the
subtle glow of “baby lights”
by pro Colleen Flaherty
that earned the loudest
shout-out. Working in
mini-sections around our
tester’s face as well as
throughout her head,
Flaherty expertly lightened
her brunet base without
overreaching and with nary
a line of demarcation. Our
tester loved how the
realistic results “warmed
my skin tone and made me
look a little bit tan.”

loved chilling in the

making this up.) You won’t
be asked to take a bracing
cold-tub plunge during

care branched out into a
Chelsea oasis offering herbal
massages and holistic facials,
plus “therapeutic ingestibles”
from a tonic bar in front. The
eucalyptus aromatherapy
used during our tester’s
hour-long treatment helped
her ease into the session.
“I was ultra-relaxed, which
isn’t always the case
since I often tense up and
feel like I have to make
conversation with my
masseuse.” The head-to-
toe deep-tissue rubdown
proved as thorough as
it was blissful, as the pro
hit dry heels with
Naturopathica’s Bath and
Body Oil plus the brand’s
Mighty Mint Rescue Cream.
The 60-minute scalp
massage, complete with a
hydrating hair mask, “was so
indulgent and as comforting
as having my hair brushed.”

minimalist vibe. You may spot
guests meditating in a room
made of Himalayan salt blocks
or relaxing in a Korean
Hwangto Clay room, both of
which feature infrared-heat
technology to promote
detoxification of the skin and
lungs. But back to that
massage: After a hot soak
and a salt body scrub, “my
technician gave me a
mini-facial, cleansing with a
Clarisonic brush and topping
with a hydrating mask,” says
our tester. “She applied hot
vitamin E and avocado oils to
condition skin then massaged
from head to toe, focusing
on lymph nodes to encourage
lymphatic drainage. As a
bonus she rolled iced Chinese
glass balls on my face to nix
tension
:
I was in heaven.”

add a visit to this wellness
mecca to your wish list. Our
beauty-writer tester was
dubious of the soothe
massage” at first, given how
she believes anything “not
billed as deep tissue tends
to disappoint.” But after a
therapist spent about 20
minutes “kneading out
months-old knots” in her
neck and shoulders before
moving on to erase stress
around the jaw, our
reporter changed her tune.
She even shed a tension
headache, leaving her better
able to enjoy the post-
