Alpha & Omega Hair Salon (CLOSED)

The comfy leather couch, magazines aplenty and rotating beauty stations make this space seem like your standard neighborhood hair salon, but don’t be fooled—the stylists are miracle workers. One TONY staffer is a longtime patron because she “can get a simple short cut with no muss and no fuss. And they never try to straighten my curly hair or add frilly finishing touches that old ladies like.” Not only do we like the straight-shooter approach and the styling, but the cuts start at an astoundingly low $25.
