When Rita Hazan says she knows Hollywood glamor, she's not being hyperbolic. The salon expert has styled hair for celebrities including Katy Perry, Michelle Williams, and Beyonce, drawing upon her love of 1940s fashion and rock 'n' roll edge to create their fresh looks. But Hazan doesn't reserve her talents for the red carpet—when she isn't tending to well-known manes, she can be found meeting with clients at her namesake salon on 5th Avenue.

Under Hazan's direction, the salon's beauty professionals update hairstyles while providing a pampering experience. Stylists and colorists snip strands into looks classic or modern, and add dimension with highlights and coloring treatments. Nail technicians indulge digits with manicures, pedicures, and applications of shellac polish designed to withstand chipping from even the most enthusiastic high-fives. Skin receives high-end care as well, with aestheticians offering waxing appointments as well as facial treatments. Transformations take place in a sleek, airy environment, dotted with cream-colored furniture and pale paneling.
