I’ve always thought that if I could start off the week with a fresh manicure, a new outfit and a great blow out, Mondays would be a lot better. Sadly, because hairstylists work straight through the weekend, most of them are closed after the weekend rush. So you can imagine my excitement when I learned that Ted Gibson salon would not only be opening its doors on Mondays beginning March 26—but that it would be junior stylists trying their hands at coloring, cuts and styling for a discounted rate of $75. Since this is, after all, Ted Gibson, I imagine that the “junior stylists” are some of the most talented in New York, and I would be happy to pay a lower rate to keep this hair updated and looking great on a day that’s typically reserved for complaining about the all the work to get done over the next five days. Also on Mondays, for the first time ever the salon will accept walk-ins. So if you forgot to set up your appointment, not much sounds better than a $75 special at 184 Fifth Avenue on the 2nd Floor.
