Get a Hue

Taylor Reese Salon Opens

Ding dong! Door opens.

Party thrower: Um, Kelly Osbourne? You’re not on the list.

Party goer: So you don’t like the new dye job?

PT: Skunky locks kill the vibe. (Closes door in face.)

PG (whispers): But I thought highlights were so now. (Cue teardrop.)

Are your locks lacking luster? Head to Taylor Reese Salon, Highland Park’s best-kept secret. The four-year-old beauty parlor just opened an offshoot in the Gold Coast. The new pampering joint specializes in color, providing both local (Mon Ami) and global (France, mon Dieu!) talent.

Sit back in one of six sleek color stations and admire the minimalist decor while the colorists work. From au naturel (ask for Mouna) to edgy (go see Scott), Taylor Reese can please the pickiest palette.

If your do is already to dye for, they’ve got top-notch blowouts, cuts, makeup, manicures, and pedicures.

Enough to please all parties.

Taylor Reese Salon, 6 West Maple Street, at State Street (312-640-0700).
