Readers' Choice 2012: What’s Your Favorite Beauty Salon?

Beauty salons are not just places to have one’s hair cut.

Often, they become meccas of social gathering and relaxation. Some may attest to the fact great political, social and philosophical conversations take place while the stylist clips hair away.

After all, the very word salon, in France, was synonym to a social gathering where participants pondered about subjects such as religion and politics.

In essence, we know our readers most have a especial, intimate place that is their favorite to get their hair cut. Or who knows, perhaps your favorite one is a quick and inexpensive one.
