Hair Rules NY Salon

Most women have a love/hate relationship with their hair: They either love it or hate it. Those who fit in the latter category should consider booking an appointment at this Hell’s Kitchen salon, where, as the name implies, hair care reigns supreme. The highly trained team of stylists wants to teach women who struggle with their natural texture to embrace it. From kinky ringlets to super-straight hair, the staff promises that a healthy, responsible method can be created to maintain your mane. Not only does the salon avoid harsh chemicals in its treatments, it's eco-friendly, using wind power, nontoxic paint and energy-conserving zone lighting. Hair Rules has also partnered with the nonprofit Matter of Trust, which repurposes cut hair to produce hair mats, used to clean up oil spills—a good excuse to take the plunge and get that crop you've been considering. Men's cuts are $65–$75, women's cuts are $100–$250 and color is $95–$205.
