Nicole Eldridge, owner of Vanity Salon & Blow Dry Bar, says she opened her salon intent on bringing a “new, fresh and trendsetting salon to Monterey with a welcoming and relaxed energy.” Weekly readers say Eldridge’s plan is working. Perhaps even too well. As one reviewer raves, “I can’t go anywhere anymore without being showered with underwear by women and men alike,” because Eldridge’s haircuts are just that good. “If you’re public-minded and wary of being a hazard, by all means,” it continues, “don’t go to Vanity. If, however, you have a penchant for risk and have always wondered what it would feel like to be the victim—I mean the object, the glorious, glorious object—of Lisztomania: In that case, go right ahead. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
