Posh new digs for Head Games & The Landing

The Head Games Salon for Hair & Body recently moved into an expansive space, which includes the brand new Landing Center for Healing Arts. Salon owner Alanna Peterkin kindly offered to show me around the renovated salon, which features lots of planet-friendly materials, such as cork floors and low-VOC paint.

When you first walk into the space at 116 Free Street, you see these salon stations (note the hanging hair dryers) and the curved bar. At the bar, stylists not only mix up hair color, but also cocktails for customers.

To the right of this area is a lovely white couch, where Peterkin (center) and her team of first-rate stylists agreed to gather for a photo.

Tucked into the well-lit area at the front of the shop, there's a make-up station featuring the all-natural Young Blood line. The salon also offers its own line of hair care products called Use Me, which I wrote about last September for Switch.

Peterkin's good friend Deanna Talarico (left) is the force behind The Landing, which offers daily classes in things like yoga, spinnng, Zumba, pilates, KettleBall, Latin Dance and Tai Chi. She's standing here with instructor Valerie Davis who offers LifeBreath classes. The drop-in rate for classes is $15 per hour, and you also can buy packages, such as the 10 Hour Package for $120, which allows you to attend any classes you want and includes a one month membership to the Heat Suite.

Speaking of that Heat Suite, the basement level of the buildings offers a number of massage therapy rooms, showers, a regular hot air sauna and this infrared sauna, which uses infrared radiation to instantly and directly heat your body. Come spring, Peterkin plans to add lockers and a storage area for bikes. She'll then sell passes to bike commuters allowing them to use the showers and changing rooms.

Need a cut or a color? Call them up at 773-8393.
