Obsessed with Bravo's hit show Blow Out and the upscale styling world of its weepy, tantrum-throwing owner Jonathan Antin? The atmosphere of hair guru Matthew Tully's Uptown salon isn't far off. The shop is a bit more Day-Glo and Tully doesn't boohoo as much in public. But that's a big plus. We like a man with scissors in his hand to be focused on nothing but us, thanks. His cuts are so flawless we've seen ladies leave in tears (strictly happy ones), and Tully's color work is dynamic. Like Antin, Tully handpicks his staff, trains them and works alongside them as a team player. Tully's staff (which includes his wife, Tania) offers a wide range of services (cuts, color, extensions, etc.). The more experienced the stylist, the higher the price. But they're all pros. It's not just Beverly Hills salonmeisters who get all the stars. Lots of local celebs come to Tully for some hairplay. But he's not one to gossip. Call him a big tease.
