Spin NYC (CLOSED)

DJ and Vidal Sassoon–trained hairstylist Eddie Williams wasn’t feeling the overpriced haircuts offered at most Manhattan salons. So he opened this Lower East Side spot, offering chic downtown chops at bargain prices. The upbeat atmosphere and hip decor is completed with disco balls, modern pop art (created by Williams’s sister) and DJ equipment (you know, so he can spin on weekends and holidays). Cuts start at $50 for men and $75 for women; Williams specializes in curly hair, and his services also include relaxers and smoothing treatments ($200–$500).
