Although I live in Manhattan, I never mind making the trek to Bayridge to have Sylvana (who is no longer there *tear*) or Grace take care of my hair. After trying several high-end salons in the city, all of which failed miserably, I branched out to the boroughs and found Lush.
Pros: Quick, affordable, and incredible results
Cons: In Brooklyn (sorry Brooklyn-ites!)
