JF Gymnastique is a midtown gym that's also a hair salon. Explains the owner: "The idea is that you can work out and then go downstairs for a manicure or a blow-dry, and you're ready for the workday, or a night out." The Sun is calling it "the city's newest hybrid," putting us just behind Boise, ID in terms of innovative salon ideas. [New York Sun]
