The Best Hair Salons In New York City | L’Atelier de Laurie

I believe great hair is the best accessory a woman can have. Yesterday I took a little trip to the East Village to check out the haute salon known only to the 'insiders". From models to actresses and socialites in between, L’Atelier de Laurie serves as the salon of choice for NY stylistas. L’Atelier de Laurie is an intimate chateau like salon tucked away and decorated in fantastical antiques. A great departure from the almost robotic fifth ave salons, L’Atelier de Laurie offers a comforting atmosphere that's outlandishly romantic.

L’Atelier de Laurie is the creation of celebrity stylist Laurie Foley. My stylist at L’Atelier de Laurie, Mauricio is not a hairstylist but something more like an artist. He was able to lift my hair into a new dimension with a fabulous razor cut and stunning color L’Atelier de Laurie specializes in hair painting to obtain the most natural looking hair possible. Once you experience this fabulous salon you will fall in love. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Mimi's Little Black Book | Best Places to Primp

When it comes to looking and feeling fabulous maintenance is a must. Here are my favorite spots to primp and pamper yourself.

Best Nail Salon Dashing Diva
Dashing Diva is probably the hottest nail spa in NY. I highly recommend them for the perfect detail oriented mani and pedi. The glamourous pink interiors also add a touch of glamour to the whole experience. Try their UV Gel setting which makes nails look super glossy and perfect.

Best Hair Color & Cut Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa
I am obsessed with dying my hair and believe me I've been up and down fifth avenue trying to find the best colorist and I have finally found him. Greg at Red Door Spa is the most talented colorist in the world. He gave me the best chestnut brown with golden highlights color that I am raving over. The service at Red Door is unsurpassed.

Best Wax Shobha NYC
I usually go to Shobha for all my waxing needs. They are very good at what they do and I have always been happy with my results and the exotic ambiance is always a plus. Shobha was voted as New York's best Brazilian was. Ask for Miranda.

The Best Of New York | Hair Color Via Louis Licari Salon

I literally spent five hours this afternoon at Louis Licari correcting my over processed hair. I was so bored with my jet black hair that I decided to take matters into my own hands and dye my hair a flaming red. I have to admit, I did like it, for a day but then I realized how horrible it looked against my olive skin. So I thought I'd turn to the pros at Licari. If you don't know by now Licari is by far the best salon for hair color in New York. Licari believes in natural and believable hair color that highlights and defines your features. My gorgeous stylist Shakira did an amazing job at bringing be back to my dark brown shade with a balayage process (free painting of highlights without foil) around my face for believable highlights, emphasis on believable. I highly recommend Licari to all of you fabulous people who like it haute from head to toe.
