Brooklyn

Two friends go to Woodley and Bunny (N10th and Driggs) and get amazing
haircuts every single time. Pricing varies depending on who you go to. Another friend goes to The Beehive (Lorimer and Powers for now) and
also gets an excellent haircut every time, and it’s less expensive than
W&B. —KT

Woodley and Bunny, 490 Driggs in Williamsburg, 718-218-6588
The Beehive, 115 North 7th in Williamsburg, 718-782-8376

I like Laura at Public in Williamsburg. She’s very sweet, and the place is pretty low on attitude. —M.

Public, 101 Metropolitan in Williamsburg, 718-782-4101

Lately I’ve been sticking close to home, in Cobble Hill, and going to
Jenn at Boy Luv Girl on Atlantic. I believe cuts are about $60 and she
does a good job. It’s the kind of place where moms bring their tots for
quick bang trims, so it’s pretty low on the hip factor, but then again,
they do play good music on their iPods. Everyone wins! —M.

Boy Luv Girl, 105 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, 718-596-3868

I get my hair cut at Le Chandelier on 5th in Park Slope. My current
stylist who is fabulous is leaving in a couple of weeks, but I’ve
always had a great cut there!

Le Chandelier,  264 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope, 718-783-2457

Lily at Lilypad. It’s a one-woman independent salon. She’s awesome. There
aren’t words. And the cut is like $40. Super-hip, easy to style, and
her best cuts are when you give her some leeway to do what she always
knows is cute. —L.

Lilypad, 555 Metropolitan Ave in Brooklyn, 718-387-9337.

Austin

Stacey at Birds Barbershop in Austin, TX cut my hair for years and
sometimes I try to hold out for getting it cut while I’m visiting. I
used to be able to walk in and just say "something amazing" and it
would be perfect. —C.

Birds Barbershop, 6800 Burnet in Austin, 512-454-1200

East Bay

Right now I get my hair cut with Timiny at BarberElla in Berkeley, CA and the results are nice, but fairly expensive. —C.

BarberElla, 2442 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, 510-548-3552

Boston

I went to Cheryl at Liquid Hair, and she was great and did the cut for
about $40. But I’ve been to a couple other stylists there, and they
were all great, even the newer, cheaper ones were better than any I’ve
gotten in New York. —R.

Liquid Hair, 640 Tremont Street in Boston, 617-425-4848

Fort Worth

I came from Fort Worth, Texas where I would see Beau at Goldwaves Salon. He is fantastic. —L.

Goldwaves Salon, 5137 El Campo in Fort Worth, 817-731-8888

Manhattan

Despite my vast, lifelong experience with very difficult hair, and
about a thousand different stylists, I have no one to recommend. Oh,
except for color: Taylor at Paul Labrecque on W. 67th & Columbus
Ave. He’s great. —A.

Paul Labrecque, 160 Columbus Avenue in Manhattan, 212-988-7816

New Orleans

Keith Noonan, Keith Noonan Salon in Metairie, LA (a suburb of New
Orleans). Not cheap, but the only stylist I’ve ever had where I can sit
down in his chair and tell him to have fun and do whatever he wants,
and I never fail to walk away with hair that looks like a million bucks
and that I can style on my own. Its miraculous, really. :) —S.

Keith Noonan Salon, 800 Metairie Road in Metairie, 504-482-1866

Philadelphia

Brooke Rashkow at the David Witchell Salon and Spa in Newtown. She is amazing and very hip and trendy. She did my whole wedding too.

David Witchell Salon and Spa, 25 South State Street in Newtown, 212-579-1200

Providence

After leaving Providence RI for the west coast, and Jamie at Hairspray
on Wickenden Street, I was sad about my hair. I had had the best
hairdresser and the coolest haircut. —Z.

Hairspray, 259 Wickenden Street in Providence, 401-273-9210

Salt Lake City

If you live in Salt Lake City, Dexterity Salon has great stylists. —D.

Dexterity Salon, 777 East 300 South in Salt Lake City, 801-364-1420

San Francisco

I walked into Backstage Salon on a whim, met Zack and told him to do
whatever he wanted to do. He asked me if I was sure, and I told him to
go nuts. Over a foot of hair was taken off and I had the most amazing
bob I have ever seen. I’ve been faithfully going to Zack for over two
years now, and each time I leave looking and feeling fantastic. His
cuts are really artistic, so that my hair is as unique as I am. —Z.

Backstage Salon, 2134 Polk Street in San Francisco, 415-775-1440
