Charles Ifergan, one of the city's top salons, caters to the ladies-who-lunch, and his rates, which vary according to the seniority of the stylist, are relatively high. But if you're a little daring, you can get a cut for the price of the tip on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings when junior stylists do their thing gratis -- under the watchful eye of Monsieur Ifergan (call tel. 312/640-7444 btw. 10am and 4pm to make an appointment for that night).
