I’ve had enough. I’m not just another anonymous NYC head case. My hair has special needs with untapped potential. It has feelings too, dammit.

Forgo the therapy sesh and take your locks to K.E. Haas, a tight-knight salon where everybody knows your mane. Cheers.

Let’s start with the cozy Clinton Street spread: Replete with exposed brick walls, oversize throw pillows, and glowing paper lanterns, it makes you think of your best bud’s studio (killer playlist and all). Owner Marissa Doehla and her Aveda-trained team take an interactive approach, which means natural, organic looks trump bridalesque updos.

Swap stories with your stylist while you get a haircut, blowout, and new style, or touch up your color with a single-process treatment. K.E. Haas uses product lines like Davines, Wella, and Framesi, so you’ll be sitting pretty either way.

Your head will be all straightend out in no time.
