A Brief Hair-story of Time

10,000 B.C.
A cave woman fashions a brush out of a stick and saber-toothed tiger teeth. Bed(rock) head becomes passe.

The 1700s
Wigs are all the rage. Perfumed starch powder acts as the original dry shampoo.

The Early 2000s
Tracey Cunningham emerges as Hollywood’s go-to colorist. Drew, Cameron, J.Lo, and others rely on her handiwork.

Present Day
Cunningham joins forces with pro stylist Neil Weisberg (formerly one half of the Neil George powerhouse) to open Méche (French for “highlight”). Situated on a prime swath of Burton Way, the 3,000-square-foot full-service salon houses 22 chairs, manned by a mix of veteran and next-big-thing stylists.

Require head-to-toe grooming? Makeup artists, manicurists, brow aestheticians, and foot masseurs also work the room.

Behold: the Golden Age of salon services.

Méche, 8822 Burton Way, at Herzl Way, Beverly Hills (310-278-8930 or mechesalonla.com). Services start at $175.
