Their friendly staff will suggest you the hair style best suited for your hair, but make sure you tell them if you have a specific need (like not going too short). They have two salons in Mumbai, one at Peddar Road and the other at Juhu.

Apart from their 'great haircuts', you can also indulge in one of the Kérastase hair treatments to relieve you from your stress and leave your locks visibly healthier, shinier and smooth.

In fact if time is in your hands then you must get a French manicure from here and you sure will forget all the manicures you ever got done.

6. Toni and Guy
The famous Toni and Guy also opened its doors in Mumbai somewhere in 2008.
