Seal Beach's Sweet 1017 is laid-back luxury. The vibe is very spa-like, with crisp, white décor and a heavy emphasis on relaxation; everything—from the cute dressing rooms to the ottomans to prop your feet on while under the dryer—is designed to melt away stress. It's gorgeous, impeccably clean and highly indulgent. Want a glass of wine with your color? Sure! A Kérastase conditioning treatment, too? Yes, please! The shampoo service that comes with a mini scalp massage in an über-comfortable chair (a rare find in the world of hair salons) is reason enough to visit, as well as the reasonable starting prices ($25 to $40 for a blow-dry and style; tints start at $50, highlights at $75). But what makes Sweet 1017 the best in OC is an amazing stylist named Nory. He's cute, he's fun, he has talent to spare, and he'll leave you looking drop-dead sexy every time.
