Major crisis! What to do when your favorite salon (in this case, Robert Kree) is shuttered for good? In this case, "chase" them to Chelsea's Chris Chase salon, where many of Kree's stylists and makeup artists have recently debunked. Step inside to find a cleanly lit, fresh and modern space bedecked in black and white, with everything from Arne Jacobsen egg chairs to a gorgeous chandelier. Cuts? Check. Color? Indeed. Makeup? You betcha. The stylists do it all here, all while using the best products (think Kérastase) and unbelievably they do it with a smile. The wine they offer you on the way in is just an added bonus.
Insider Tip: Make sure you have cash on hand—you can't put tips on your credit card.
