Wax Around the Clock

Hair Party 24 Hours Beauty Salon

Notice how most places open 24 hours a day 365 days a year — casinos, brothels, precincts, McDonald’s — are the kind that get you in trouble.

The one to get you out of it? Hair Party 24 Hours, a new Murray Hill Korean spa and salon where you can make the most of your preening hours — be they in the still of the night or break of day.

We tried a 5 a.m. pedicure for an 8 a.m. flight, a 9 a.m. blowout for a 1 p.m. meeting, and a 2 a.m. wax for a 3 a.m. booty call. Even tested an eyebrow shaping.

It’s not a total steal (what is?), but service is swift, efficient, and skilled. Wine and champagne get you in the mood for whatever’s next.

Like getting into trouble.
