Best Hair Salon

The Coyote Wore Sideburns

At The Coyote Wore Sideburns you'll see lavish tattoos and purple-streaked hair among the staffers, but this salon happily caters to anybody, fashion-forward or not, who needs a smart hairdo at a reasonable price. Make an appointment with Signe, the co-owner--she draws all of the salon's ads herself--and it won't take you long to discover that her real passion is not hair, but dogs. Not that she'll make you look like a poodle, unless you really want her to. In any case, maybe she'll let you lie in the massage chair on your way out. For a place named after coyotes and co-run by a dog freak, this salon is the cat's meow.
