Roman Holiday

Roman Salon

You’re usually not one to play it particularly safe. But when you left your last haircut feeling like the girl Tyra picked for the mohawk makeover on Top Model, you began to wonder when pretty became passe.

Think of Román as a safe haven for your hair. Art Luna veteran Sheri Román’s new boutique salon has a relaxed, romantic feel thanks to vintage chandeliers, high ceilings, vases of French tulips, and a garden waiting area below sweeping magnolia and Chinese elm trees.

Although the stylists and colorists — also mostly from Art Luna — are versatile (even promising natural color for men), their true specialty is long, healthy hair. But shorter-haired ladies can also lengthen their locks, as the salon excels in extensions. Just ask for Raz or Lien, who will carefully consider texture and custom tint the hair to match your color. All sans attitude.

See, there are lots of nice salons in L.A.

But we have only one picture in our hand.
