Often likened to Soho hangouts by clients, this hip salon and spa’s Spartan interior features concrete floors, white walls, contemporary black and white furniture, and six styling chairs. Various touches, such as a seated Buddha and sexy lighting, lend warmth to the minimalist setting. For all its trendiness, it’s a welcoming place.

Owner Stacie Bowie is refreshingly down-to-earth and likes keeping things on the smaller side. “It’s more like a family,” she says of her highly trained and experienced staff. Bowie has styled hair in Paris, London, New York and South Africa. She’s also known for her masterful blow-outs.

The spa is in the process of expanding to three rooms for facials, waxing, massage, manicures, pedicures, makeup, eyelash extensions and brow tints. Hate those flimsy throw-away flip flops you get with your pedicure? You'll receive a complimentary pair of Havaianas Brazilian flip flops with your first pedicure at Bowie.
