Dop Dop Salon

Image
Though you’d never know it from its modest facade, this 3,700-square-foot, two-story former tap-dance studio is home to twenty-one stylists, nine assistants, and fifteen cutting chairs—though a chop shop it most certainly is not. Named after a popular fifties- and sixties-era French children’s shampoo, the salon was founded in 1996 by veteran hair stylist and international portfolio artist Jo Blackwell-Preston, who sought to create a relaxed, sophisticated-yet-edgy environment of multicultural hair artistry. Whether you’re a Long Island housewife or an international rock star, the salon promises an egalitarian safe harbor for all. Considered one of the top corrective-color salons in New York, Dop Dop also employs the highly detailed wet/dry cutting technique and offers customized deep-conditioning treatments by Kérastase, Redken, and L’Oréal. Since half of its stylists are national educators, teaching the latest in cut and color techniques to salons throughout the US, the rest of Dop D

Gerard Bollei Salon

Image
Established in the sixties as the in-house salon of the Plaza Hotel, Gerard Bollei has been a fashionable place for decades. The salon even did hair and makeup for Truman Capote’s glam Black and White Ball. In 1976, having grown too big for its gilded britches, the operation moved and expanded, putting down roots as one of the original tenants of the Galleria building on 57th Street. Bollei himself died in the eighties, but his legacy lives on in that same duplex space. Retaining plenty of seventies charm—Formica, rounded countertops, lots of taupe—the salon spans 5,600 square feet and employs a staff of 80, including nail, makeup, skin-care, and waxing experts. Hair gets the most attention, however, with 30 stylists and 25 color specialists, many with decades of experience, doling out custom cuts and colors to generations of clients. Society types, fashionistas, and a healthy smattering of celebrities have been loyal customers for decades, and bold names like Carolina Herrera and Leel

Omega-3s are also found in cell membranes in the skin of your scalp, and in the natural oils that keep your scalp and hair hydrated. Other options:  If salmon doesn’t thrill you, you can also get essential fatty acids from fish like herring, sardines, trout, and mackerel, as well as avocado, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts (see below for more wonderful things about walnuts.) 2. Walnuts Walnuts Nuts are high in protein and zinc, and are gre

Hairstyles for Heart-shaped Faces

A Long Choppy Bob Is Great for Heart-shaped Faces I absolutely adore this long, graduated bob with a bit of wave in it as seen here on actress Ali Larter. It’s a look that’s particularly flattering on heart-shaped faces says hairstylist Andy Lecompte in Allure magazine Bobs are a Great Choice for Heart-Shaped Faces Note how Katie Holmes’s bob is heavy at the chin, this balances out her amazing cheeks with her pointed chin. Chin-length bobs are great for your face shape, just make sure the ends are a bit tapered. Side-swept bangs are also gorgeous on your face shape. Yes to Bangs. Yes to Long Hair. absolutely love this cut on Katherine McPhee.
