José Eber’s luxurious Camden Drive salon in Beverly Hills.

Andy Lecompte Salon
Walk into this hip, industrial-feeling West Hollywood salon, and it's obvious you're in the presence of talented aesthetes who are as dedicated to of-the-moment beauty and fashion trends as they are art—works by Massimo Vitali and Marilyn Minter hang in the gallerylike space. With a team of 13 seriously cool stylists, including Lecompte's business partner, Leanne Citrone, you're guaranteed to leave with cutting-edge tresses. 616 N. Almont Dr., West Hollywood, 310-273-4100

Cristophe
Bright, white, and inviting, the renowned Cristophe salon has been a Beverly Hills institution since the mid-'80s, serving up pristine cuts to a well-heeled, ultraloyal clientele. Trust one of the well-trained stylists to care for your coif with a stylized cut—paired with a glass of Champagne, of course. 348 N. Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-274-0851

Frédéric Fekkai
A protégé of Fekkai's, LA salon creative director Maurice Dadoun helped introduce the legendary stylist's name to Beverly Hills's vernacular in 1997 when he opened their first LA location on Rodeo. Today, Fekkai boasts a slick, all-white Melrose Place outpost (opened in 2007), drawing such celebrities as Emmy Rossum, Heidi Klum, and Brooke Shields. 8457 Melrose Pl., LA, 323-655-7800

Camden Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-858-4000

Neil George
Renowned as a fierce artistic team, stylist Neil Weisberg and colorist Amanda George's joint bungalow-esque salon is where stars including Reese Witherspoon and Mary-Kate Olsen have ducked paparazzi in order to get some serious mane pampering. Weisberg and his fellow pedigreed stylists—with heaps of editorial magazine credits under their belts—take inspiration from California style and the clients themselves. 9320 Civic Center Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-275-2808

Metodo Rossano Ferretti Hairspa

Canon Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-598-6780
