Ananda and her team of highly trained stylists know that hair is the easy part of their job—and that it's easy to miss the true nature and beauty of each person who sits in their chairs. So the stylists at Ananda West work with care, using products from Bumble and bumble, Wella, and other leading brands. To stay on top of new trends and techniques, stylists participate in monthly education classes.

As scissors and combs fly, clients can indulge in complimentary coffee, beer, wine, or loose-leaf teas as they slip into temporary scalp-massage-induced bliss. Shampoo, conditioner, and styling are included with each cut.
