The lowdown: Coiffure connoisseurs Alex Carbonell, Jing Monis, and Jay Lozada, pioneers of the upscale salon experience, continue to primp and prime men and women, more than 10 years after they opened Propaganda. Their shabby chic interiors give customers that homey vibe (their sofas are so cozy and comfortable, you'll find it hard to get up to get your locks worked on), while their stylists' skilled hands deliver cuts, color, and treatments that have Propaganda devotees coming back for more.
The verdict: We like that we can just sit in the stylist's chair and keep to ourselves, not be bothered by stylists trying to peddle us additional treatments or services, or even sell us bottles of shampoo or conditioner.
