Glynn Jones Salon, Washington

Manchester native Glynn Jones brings his distinctly British approach to haircare to America's capital city, creating a posh, European-style atmosphere at two locations. There, he and his team put progressive beauty techniques and premium products to use transforming looks. And to ensure every cut, color application, and chemical treatment is consistently executed, Jones—who was educated by Vidal Sassoon—oversees the training of each one of his stylists personally for up to a year.

But hair is just one part of the equation at these fun, bright salons. Waxing specialists also stand at the ready to smoothen limbs, while nail techs gussy up digits with traditional and Shellac polish. And for those interested in putting even more finishing touches on their new looks, staffers can also perform custom airbrush tans, as well as expertly apply makeup.
