For an Upscale Experience Without the Upscale Attitude: Meche Salon
Celebs and It-girls flock to this hair hotspot, founded by celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham.

Known for: Sunkissed highlights and long layers.

Star Stylists: If you're lucky enough to nab an appointment with Cunningham, do so (her work is worth a thousand praise hands emojis). Kari Hill slays at buttery blonde highlights, and her down-to-earth personality will put you at ease. For bangs, hit up Hannah Burdy, who is responsible for Suki Waterhouse's most recent chop.
