Right Hair, Right Now

Andy Lecompte Salon Opens

It claims to be temporary. But in the wrong hands, that box of blazing beet red hair dye can be a permanent stain on your record.

Pay a visit to the new Andy Lecompte Salon. After twelve years together at Prive and Chris McMillan, Lecompte and partner Leanne Citrone have turned the loft-like digs behind Jenni Kayne’s West Hollywood boutique into a beauty headquarters where old-fashioned service is delivered with young, modern panache.

With a focus on pretty, feminine hair, they offer the basics as well as straightening, extensions, custom treatments mixed on the spot to defrizz or deep condition, and at-home regimens that’ll ensure you won’t be tempted to try another disastrous DIY scheme.

You’ll never plead temporary insanity again.

Andy Lecompte Salon, 616 North Almont Drive, between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood (310-273-4100).
