Hector Mendoza specializes in hair color, highlights, and cuts, but he isn’t stingy with that knowledge. Rather, he’s passed it down to a crew of stylists, each able to craft a chic look. At Hector's Beauty Salon, they draw upon a range of coloring products and elixirs for hot-oil treatments. Blow driers purr warmly at all times, warming the scalps of patrons after haircuts or complimentary bang trims between cuts. All of this takes place beneath shelves of hair-removal wax, makeup, and skin-care products, crucial for when you have an important job interview or are trying to trick someone into inviting a creepy mannequin to prom.
