They say gentlemen prefer blondes, and so do the customers at this high-powered salon and spa located on two floors (separated by one floor that’s currently vacant). A majority of us may be born with a mousey mane, but we all want to lighten up, according to owner Dean Boudreau. At midday, the main salon floor is a tossing sea of shiny female manes and activity, which begs the question of the percentage of students/heiresses/trustafarians/yummy mummies in the area. By contrast, the upper spa floor is wonderfully hushed; perhaps clients are enjoying packages like "From here to Serenity" or "Gentleman’s Escape." We guess blondes do have more fun.
