I recently had my hair cut at Janet Rufin's salon. I was pleasantly surprised by the salon. Many salons in NYC suffer from image overload. There are flashy lights, loud music, self important black-clad stylists who insist you call them Sting or Dragon. You will find none of those trappings at Janet Rufin. The space is open and chic and you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door. The stylists are friendly and provide expert opinions about color and cut. I have extrememly curly hair, and Mary, my stylist, straightened my hair with a flat iron and literally went over every strand to determine if it was healthy or if it needed to go. By the time she was done, my hair was soft and shiny and it was all because of the cut. I had washed my hair that morning with my own shampoo.
