Best Salon (2015)

Oya

201 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey

(831) 656-0570, www.oyasalon.com

With its floor-to-ceiling windows and lots of natural light, Oya looks more like an art gallery than a salon. (In fact, it’s been known to host art shows on its crisp white walls.) So it’s fitting that the hair and makeup artists here make you look like a walking work of art and feel like a fashion model. They style models, too, from local shoots and shows to New York Fashion Week. From roots to toes and everything in between Oya has you covered—and colored, tinted, threaded and polished to perfection.
