BENJAMIN Salon
This flagship West Hollywood salon’s chic aesthetic—think an art-filled SoHo loft—is just one reason to visit. Located on Melrose across from Verve and Gracias Madre, BENJAMIN stylists aim to express the beauty found inside each individual. Instead of trying a look to imitate a particular celebrity, stylists at BENJAMIN help clients find styles that represent their true selves. This intense focus on the clients’ needs are reflected in the care and quality of the products and services at the salon. 8910 Melrose Ave., 424.249.3296, benjaminsalon.com

With paparazzi-proof glass-block windows and a private garden in the back with parking, this laid-back-yet-luxurious spot is the ideal space for those who want to remain under the radar while getting pampered. Star stylists—including colorists Sarah Conner and Denis de Souza—are on deck to provide better-than-natural looks that grow out beautifully. All Mare services are offered á la carte with options to customize to make sure all expectations are thoroughly met. 152 N. Wetherly Drive, West Hollywood, 424.274.3479, maresalon.com
Mèche
French for “highlight’ or “a lock of hair,'' top colorist Tracey Cunningham’s Méche salon’s cadre of talented stylists draws in tons of celebs—or anyone that wants stunning, look-at-me ‘dos. Boasting 200 to 300 clients a week, snagging an appointment at the high-energy salon is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But the wait is always worth it. 8820 Burton Way, Beverly Hills, 310.278.8930, mechesalonla.com
Nine Zero One
Named after its address in the heart of West Hollywood, Nine Zero One offers a contemporary atmosphere–focusing on the importance of how you want to feel.
