Top 10 Hair and Beauty

Mirror, Mirror: Our picks for The Best Hair and Beauty Spots in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the glitziest cities in the world, so in-the-know locals and visitors kick off their weekends with a visit to the salon. A blow-out and makeup application (don’t skimp on the false eyelashes!) are a must. Go big, go glam. Only in Vegas!

Platinum Entourage
Newly expanded to keep up with demand, Platinum Entourage is the blowdry and makeup mecca for local media, models and professionals of any kind who need to look glam in a hurry. Located off the 215, Platinum makes sure that tourists don’t get left out of the party: Car service is available to and from any Strip property. Bachelorette groups and girls’ trips are welcome and can relax in their own VIP area, where they may sip champagne as they all get glam. 6670 S Tenaya Way, (702) 410-5459 blowdrybarlasvegas.com

Globe
Downtown’s most popular salon, Globe, offers an impressive mix of hair and skin treatments. Waxing, facials and micro-dermabrasion (plus makeup application of course) round out the skin side. And your tresses will look stunning after an hour or two in the hip hair salon – whether it’s a cut, color or blowout you need. (Heck, while you’re there, get all three!) 900 S Las Vegas Blvd #130, (702) 938-4247 globesalon.com

Violet Hour Hair, Nails & Beauty
The Strip’s newest hotel is exploding with “cool” quotient, and its salon, The Violet Hour, will get you ready to join the fun. Sip on a glass of bubbly while the best in the business whip your hair into shape. Then sit pretty in the makeup chair as your look goes from day to dramatic – down to the Bambi-worthy fake eyelashes so strong you can sleep in them. On the way out, you just might decide to blow your night out even more than you were planning, because you look that good. 3708 Las Vegas Boulevard, (877) 388-0121 cosmopolitanlasvegas.com

Color
Beloved celebrity hair stylist (and full-time Vegas resident) Michael Boychuck has a stunning salon at Caesars Palace that belies his laidback, smiley personality. Enter through the VIP valet on the south side of the resort and prepare to be pampered. Boychuck colors the hair of most of the local VIPs, who know they always walk out of Color looking like the A-lister they are. Also offered: anything hair-related, makeup, and spray tanning. 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, (702) 731-7791 caesarspalace.com

Sephora
Visitors from towns without (gasp!) a Sephora die over the Strip’s three locations. Each locale (Forum Shops, Venetian Strip-side, and Miracle Mile Shops) is enormous and packed with all the skincare, perfumes, makeup and accessories a girl could dream of. Forget something at home? No problem – hit Sephora for a replacement, and a few additional goodies, of course. Some of the largest Sephoras in the world, all three often host special events with makeup companies and other beauty heavyweights. Need help with your new product? Sephora staff are always on hand to help you apply. Various Locations

Canyon Ranch
Venetian’s outpost of the famous Arizona spa is a huge destination salon for weddings and bachelorette parties, so you know they excel at making women look their very best. (Not that men are left out – ask about their barber program.) In addition to the classic hair, makeup and nail options, the more adventurous types can spring for hair extensions, permanents, lash tinting, and lash extensions. 3355 Las Vegas Blvd S #1159, (702) 414-3600 canyonranch.com

Reliquary
Rocking out at the Hard Rock Hotel requires looking your best. Stop in Reliquary’s salon for a full makeover. Manis, pedis and all sorts of haircuts and trims are on tap, plus conditioning hair treatments to combat the dry desert air. But no matter what, you cannot go out in rock star style without a glamorous blowout and a makeup application that will make you want to jump up on stage and join the band. Hydrate at the juice bar on the way out – your body will want those nutrients later when you hit the scene. 4455 Paradise Rd, (702) 693-5522 hardrockhotel.com

Skins 6|2
Cosmopolitan’s emporium and apothecary is packed with hard-to-find items that could take hours to sift through. Highlights: old-fashioned soaps and fragrances from brands like Lollia and Tokyo Milk, body tint by Gleam, and Diptyque candles. But you absolutely cannot walk out of the store without makeup from Vegas’ local brand, Rain. Want to try some first? No worries – the store is covered in pretty mirrors to check out the results. 3708 S Las Vegas Blvd, (702) 698-7000 cosmopolitanlasvegas.com

Kim Vo
Hollywood stylist Kim Vo’s new salon at the Palms has been a breath of fresh air in the resort that once housed the storied Amp salon, one of the very first on the Strip. The Vo-trained stylists excel at colors and cuts, but the salon also offers makeup, spray tanning, and nails, for an overall super-glam look. 4321 W Flamingo Rd, (702) 942-6909 palms.com
