Aate Beauty Salon 152 Madison Ave. (31st & 32nd Sts.)
Murray Hill

Only a few blocks away from the stores in Herald Square, this salon is a relaxing stop after a hectic shopping trip. Try out their Japanese straightening or men’s cuts with Misun (their main talented hairstylist). Specialty brands like Crede and Kanebo are spe-cifically tailored to the client’s hair needs. The storefront hair salon leads up to a well-maintained spa on the second floor. Though the salon specializes in hair, spa treatments like manicures ($10) and pedicures ($15) are expertly done at fair prices.
Insider Tip: Call to check prices and services before you go. The salon’s menu is written on tiny blackboards and can change often.
