What could be better than having your fave hair stylist smack dab in the middle of Montana Avenue? It's great -- you can shop before and/or after your hair appointment. But wait! The folks at Luxelab have gone one step further and granted you your ultimate wish: you can now shop DURING your hair appointment and you don't even have to leave the building (because let's face it: that would be OH SO gauche!!!). The deal is, that you can schedule one (or more!) of several treatments, including haircut, color, thermal ionic straight perming, permanent wave, or styling, with one of their many trained stylists (my favorite is Master Stylist Craig Wcislo -- he is amazing at anything except up-dos, he doesn't like to do those...), and if there's any waiting or down time you can slip next door and shop at the newly opened Luxehaus. Adjectives to describe the space and the housewares on offer are "edgy," "eclectic," "avant-garde" and "hip." Some things are ubiquitous in terms of design, you've definitely seen them before, yet somehow at at Luxehaus they're presented in a unique way. Often paired with a one-of-a-kind antique or a product from a company you've never heard of before. Lines on display include Jonathan Adler, Alessi, Fornasetti, Melissa McClure Jewelry Alchemy, and Hakusan.
Try to go when you're feeling flush, because despite the fact that the salon services are quite reasonable (considering the location and the level of service), it all adds up. And it's very hard to leave without buying something, whether that's hair products from the likes of Bumble and bumble or a cool wooden bracelet, or better yet: both!
