Want hair like a star? Just make an appointment at the brand-new Mèche Salon in Los Angeles, which opened its doors today! The location is run by a pair of true industry experts—colorist Tracey Cunningham, who works stars like Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Drew Barrymore, and hairstylist Neil Weisberg, who has styled Liv Tyler and Renee Zellweger. “Neil and I have been friends forever and opening a salon seemed like a logical decision, so we went for it!” Cunningham said. “We came up with the name Mèche, which means highlight or lock of hair in French.” And although Cunningham and Weisberg are known for styling the strands of stars, their new venture isn’t just for their famous clientele. “This salon will have a very neighborhood feel,” Cunningham added. “We want clients to walk in and immediately feel comfortable and taken care of.” In addition to haircuts and coloring, the salon also offers manicures, pedicures, eyebrow shaping, and makeup application. Head over to mechesalonla.com for more information, or call 310-278-8930 to book an appointment.
