Top of the Town 2011

Finding a good kids’ haircut is kinda like having a good old-fashioned thunderstorm in Denver. It hardly ever happens, but when it does, it’s surprising, wonderful, and refreshing. You, dear readers, picked Little b’s last year, so we listened—and were impressed. The stylists actually ask you (what a novel idea!) how you want your child’s hair cut, and then make notes about how they pulled it off to file away for next time. And the cuts are really good. (Trust us, our kids have had some bad ones.) Bang Salon, Little b’s sister—or should we say mother—biz is right around the corner, as is Cake Crumbs, with a tasty selection of sandwiches and treats. Two new ’dos and lunch to boot. Productive afternoon: check. 6107 E. 22nd Ave., 303-333-1378, www.littlebssalon.com
