A Breath of Fresh Air: Nelson J Salon
Ever walk into a salon and feel your eyes tear up over all the chemicals your nose has just inhaled? Well, the new NelsonJ Salon in Beverly Hills allows you to breathe easy. Celebrity colorist Nelson Chan just opened his new salon, which uses eco-friendly hair treatments and features other services like manicures, pedicures and massages. Besides the salon's comfy shampoo chairs, another perk coming soon is foot massages while you wait for your color to set in. Talk about being pampered head to toe!

Caught in the Act
Sometimes a rocker needs some pampering, too. Joel Madden showed up without an appointment at the hidden-away NelsonJ Salon in Beverly Hills. There for a shampoo and cut, the rocker initially wanted to go really short, but was talked into trying a faux-hawk.

the scoop: Heather Graham frequents Nelson Chan’s chair to get just the right strawberry-blond highlights. He refrains from foiling the fragile baby hairs around the face, which can get too brittle as a result. And he also knows just how to flatter the face, placing light strands on the crown to offset full cheeks and streaking bangs to draw attention to the eyes.


Allure
Considering Chan is the colorist for fair-haired beauties like Heather Graham, we expected to kiss our light brown base good-bye. He must have sensed that monthly salon visits wouldn’t work with our packed schedule (and not-so-packed wallet), because he suggested just a few chucky pieces. The honey color is our best blonde since childhood-and we won’t be dashing back to the salon every month for up keep. It’s a good thing, since Chan’s celebrity house calls and television work mean he’s in the salon only 3 days a week.
