Lainie is an artist, there's no question about it. Her new shop, Bliss, is her own creation from the bottom up; she even put the glitter into the floor! The retro decor, fabulous music (which Lainie will actually change if you want something different -- a real switch from being bombarded by high-decibel techno noise at most salons), relaxing garden that's all yours while your color ""takes,"" and choice of refreshments are part of the recipe that makes Bliss blissful. Besides all this and perhaps more to the point, Lainie is the only person in the ten years since I've been away from New York, who can color my hair. Give yourself a treat and follow your bliss.
Pros: Great color and fun, yet relaxing, environment
Cons: Lainie used to be two blocks from my house, and now she's six miles away.
