Mariposa Salon and Spa, New Orleans

Since opening as a Paul Mitchell Focus salon in 2007, the team of hair artists at Mariposa Salon and Spa has styled locks for the glossy pages of New Orleans Bride magazine and CUE magazine.

Celeb-inspired styles let clients walk out with sleek, smooth, and straight locks or the loose, beachy waves usually only achieved by supermodels living in sandcastles. The stylists also battle the New Orleans humidity with blow-drying techniques and GKhair hair straightening at their blowdry bar. At their makeup and lash bar, the salon uses products from Glominerals, a pharmaceutical-grade skincare and makeup line.
