The art of hair cutting, coloring, and styling is the focus at ArtLab where stylists prefer the term "artists," and unique, individualized hair interpretations are a part of the scene. ArtLab's creations spring from the same salon family as LuxeLab, but the vibe here is decidedly artistic. It's not just a super cool hair salon, it also displays art and includes a hair styling academy, too. Clients are encouraged to think of themselves as the art being created. The phrase "pretty as a picture" might just come to mind - if that picture is high-style glamorous.
