If dyeing your hair seems like doing a cannonball into unfamiliar territory, consider lacing to be more of a dip into the shallow end. Instead of all-over color, a stylist weaves razor-thin highlights in different shades of your overall desired hue throughout your locks to great dimensional effect. … The result, which lasts two to four months, is natural-looking hair with more depth and contrast than virgin strands. The good news for color virgins is that [they] steer clear of your hairline, so if you decide that faux isn’t your look, you don’t have to be a repeat offender. $175. 115 E 57th St between Park and Lexington Aves, third floor (212-759-7985)

Your hair is also at risk for sun damage. Its outer layer can burn — causing dryness and frizz — and its color can fade. According to Joey Battisti, Creative Director at Gerard Bollei Salon in New York, “Leave-in conditioners are a great way to infuse the hair with moisture while providing a barrier that helps protect against the damaging effects of sun exposure.” If you plan on swimming, apply conditioner beforehand to prevent further damage from chlorine or salt water, both of which can cause split ends, dryness and breakage. “Cover hair with a hat, which can also prevent your face from being overexposed, and try to refrain from lying out [between] 10am and 3pm,” Battisti advises. Following time by the pool or at the beach, treat hair to a reconstructive conditioning treatment and visit your hairdresser for a quick trim to eliminate split ends.


While the claim to being “the original super salon” in the city might not hold much weight (it didn’t open until 1965), this salon does have a stake in history. All of the “swans” on the guest list for Truman Capote’s legendary Black and White Ball were styled by Bollei (back when the salon was housed in the Plaza Hotel).
