Are you In the Know about the chicest
“Cut and Color” in NYC?
It’s time to embrace your beauty Tomatoes and treat yourself to a much deserved new look! Work with the best colorists and stylists in NYC at The Whittemore House. The owners of this brilliant Salon which opened in April are Victoria Hunter and Larry Raspanti. After spending over 15 years at Bumble and Bumble, they have created a business model for a salon that is unique and have the pulse on how to make your experience as important as the actual service.
The charm begins when you enter this landmark building (one of the three oldest in NYC) at 45 Grove Street right off Bleecker. Ok already I know your thinking, I can’t go down there it’s almost in another state. My fellow Tomatoes now is the time to mix it up a little and try a new salon….a new color…a new hair style. You can’t imagine how invigorated you will feel and we all know, no one deserves this more than you!
The Whittemore House is cleverly positioned on the ground floor of a converted mansion from 1830. When you walk in, you will begin to sense the warmth and uniqueness of the salon. The décor is rich in style and creativity. You are made to feel like you are in someone’s home including a wine bar for your pleasure. Additional services of manicures, pedicures and mini facials are available from the infamous Rose Woo. Their very gracious staff also adds to this fine experience.
For your convenience they are open 6 days a week from 10 AM to 9 PM. The address is: The Whittemore House/ 45 Grove Street /212.242.8880. For color ask for Victoria and for styling… Coby…but everyone is very talented.
When you are finished, stop at Rocco’s Bakery (243 Bleecker St.) for an espresso and a little pastry; they are known for their cannoli’s and tiramisu. Then stop at Murray’s Cheese Shop (257 Bleecker St.) and pick up some cheese and a baguette. They have an amazing offering of over 200 cheeses!
Now you have a new “cut and color” and maybe a mani/pedi, treats from Rocco’s, tastings from Murray’s and hopefully you have a special bottle of wine awaiting you and your significant other at home. Set the stage, make sure your outfit is fabulous because we know your hair is….and enjoy a romantic evening. And to think it all happened because you ventured away from your favorites to enjoy the treasures of Bleecker Street and the West Village!
