Platinum Salon: Cut and style
Exposed brick, minimal decor and bumping, up-tempo music set a hip downtown vibe in this popular spot. The staff was engaging and generous, offering coat check and complimentary tea while I thawed out in the lobby. Anna Rose, who has been with the salon since it debuted four years ago, started my appointment with an in-depth conversation to assess my lifestyle and habits. She asked questions about my hair-care routine and how I wanted to look, and carefully eased me into my decision to cut off several inches. After a wash and conditioning with Moroccanoil products, plus a scalp massage so relaxing I nearly fell asleep, she cut my damaged hair to a clean and sharp, textured coif. Before I left, she gave me styling tips for different occasions and suggested products, making sure I was excited about my transformation. Women’s cut and style $65.
