The earliest salons were informal gatherings where B-list philosophers gibbered away so they couldn't hear themselves dying of plague. Get an earful of the modern salon’s soothing hair-dryer purrs and scissor chop-chops instead with today's deal at The Electric Chair Salon, located downtown on West Idaho Street. Named one of the country's top 100 hair salons by Elle Magazine, The Electric Chair's trained highly staff of hair magicians can make split-ends vanish and morph inverted bobs into naturally layered hair styles that border faces like Victorian framework. The salon features a wide range of hair-cutting services such as cuts ($20/men, $35/women) and highlights ($85–100), as well as hair-eliminating waxing services, which send unwanted whiskers the way of the dodo—back to outer space.

• The layers are fabulous! My hair looks much healthier, the grown-out bangs now frame my face nicely, and the wind-blown/ tousled curls styling was exactly what I asked for. – Amber W., Yelp
• The wonderful people who work there will talk about what you want before you even get your hair wet, and you will leave the salon with your dream haircut. – L B., Yelp
