Most Relaxing Shampoo in a Salon

David Bain

The practice of having the "shampoo girl" wash your hair instead of the stylist doing it himself/herself seems kind of old-school, and we seek out in earnest the hair salons that resist dividing the labor that way. Dave Bain at Vitali Salon is not only most happy to shampoo your head with his own capable hands, but he applies the most splendid, delicious scalp massage as well. To top it off, Dave swathes your face in what he calls "steamy goodness," a hot, wet towel doused with good-smelling toner (even for women). Ahh. Now you're ready for a haircut. Oh, yeah, Dave does a good haircut, too.
