Dulcinea's Insight
- If you are looking for a salon, try doing a general search. Type in "hair salon" and the city you live in for a general idea of where to go for cutting, coloring, and styling. Citysearch, for example, helps you customize your search and gives you salon reviews.
- One of the easiest ways to locate a salon is to use an online phone book. Try Dex and search for a salon or barbershop by your address, zip code, or city. It tells you how far away each place is, lets you see it on a map, and gives you directions.
- Most of the sites that claim to be salon or spa locators are no more than cleverly designed advertisements for a select few. The few directories that provide more extensive listings are either riddled with annoying ads or are so poorly designed that they are difficult to use. As a result, you won't find any sites specific to locating a salon in this guide. Instead, we've recommended you try your search on a more established directory site like Citysearch or Dex.
