Urban Style Lab (Top 45 salons in the D.C. metropolitan area)
This salon, opened by eight former stylists from Molecule, offers professional cuts in a fashion-forward atmosphere. Cement floors and exposed brick walls give a shabby-chic feel. Owners Kelly Gorsuch and Melanie Smith are recommended.

Kelly Gorsuch
We'd banned the hot iron and blow-dryer for months, but you'd have thought we were styling our hair with a flaming pitchfork. The layers hung askew, and it looked wispy and damaged. Gorsuch had a different take: "It's not as damaged as you think. The blonde highlights just make it look frizzier, and the ends disappear and seem ragged." To counteract this, he cut about an inch off the tips so that they were swingy and smooth, and razored the front layers to lip level so we can tuck it behind our ears if we want. Perhaps, rather than TLC, it was a Tender Loving Cut that our hair needed.
