Stylist Éle Augustin set up shop in this eighth-floor loft in January 2011. Stepping into the space feels like entering a friend’s funky apartment: There are hardwood floors, whitewashed walls, and simple but cleverly designed furnishings. With a team of ten stylists, cuts ($90 and up) and coloring (starting at $120) are executed with a precise hand. Augustin’s specialty is the wearable, geometric bob, but he’s just as comfortable snipping strands into soft, sexy layers. — Edna Ishayik

In warmer months, the rooftop is gussied up as a relaxation area that doubles as an event space.
