For some of us, there are certain things not worth skimping on.

Hair is one of them. A good haircut holds its look longer than a bad one, and let's not even talk about a bad color job.

Vote for Westlake's best hair salon for women. The nominees are Bella Capelli Sanctuario, Aveda by Head Quarters Salon & Spa, Charles Scott West Salon & Spa, and Hot Locks.

Local editor Melissa Hebert will choose the winner based on numbers from the poll. Voting ends Aug. 17. Check out complete rules in the PDF form attached here.
