This 10-year-old salon boasts a passionate following thanks to vivacious stylist-owner Shellee Mendes, who trained at James Joseph and Vidal Sassoon. Monet (so named because Mendes values her stylists as artists) specializes in extensions and curly hair, using the all-natural PhytoSpecific line. The salon is kid-friendly, and Mendes says it’s a godsend for cross-cultural families looking for a one-stop shop. There’s also conscientious attention to punctuality, so expired meters are one less thing to stress over.
