The rush of high-wattage, high-ticket hairstylists moving downtown continues with the opening of Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon. Best known for coiffing celebrities like Ellen Barkin and Sarah Jessica Parker, Normant routinely jets around the globe snipping, blowing, and teasing at fashion-magazine photo shoots and advertising campaigns.

If you’d like the S.J.P. treatment, you might want to start saving now: A haircut by Normant costs $500. (Cuts from his underlings start at $125.) The meatpacking-district salon occupies a raw industrial space that has been appointed with luxurious flourishes like pony-skin ottomans, a mini koi pond, and a chandelier in the cutting room.

Should your hair need coloring from an A-lister, do not fret—Normant has brought along Harry Josh, celebrity colorist.
