Christophe (as in, Christophe of Beverly Hills) is like the king of hair. He’s been around for more than a few decades (which explains how he has salons in more than four locations, nationwide, including his flagship in Beverly Hills), and that’s for good reason: every hair-careservice is stellar. But we love the blowouts at Christophe Beverly Hills, because although the salon is exquisite and chic, it’s not at all pretentious and is totally approachable. The staff is kind and courteous, the blowouts beyond incredible. Check it out at www.christophe.com.
