Beauty File: Los Angeles

Beauty_File_LA2.jpgThese beauties will have you looking like a Hollywood starlet in no time…

The Peninsula
Gorgeous rooftop spa overlooking the Hollywood Hills. Try the “Shiffa Precious Gems” treatment for sparkling radiance (pun intended…) Note for the boys: good men’s range including “Gentlemen’s Facial Rejuvenation”.

John Frieda
A visit to the salon of the “founding father of modern hair products” (Vogue) won’t disappoint. Book now for a consultation with one of Frieda’s exceptionally talented colorists or technicians - your hair will thank you!

L.a. Vie L’Orange
This celebrity favourite is the place to go in LA for hand and foot TLC. In a hurry? Book the 60 minute “La Quickie” for a rapid hand and foot overhaul… For a more slow-paced induldgence book a private cabana and try a “Walk on the Beach”.

Kinara
This hot spot offers treatments that are good enough to eat - milk baths and body scrubs made with Hawaiian brown sugar. Don’t miss the delicious low-fat food prepared by lovely chef Elizabeth Mendez. All ingredients are sourced from local farmers’ markets and are good for your skin!

Ona Spa
Go for the “Ona Radiance” package- a complete purifying and cleansing treatment designed by oriental medicine specialist and acupuncturist Nathan Anderson. Sip one of Ona’s special teas whilst you relax to ambient nature sounds… heavenly…

The Beverly Hotel Spa by La Prairie
This is one serious spa. The 1,916 square foot space is home to six treatment rooms, including a couples suite, a fab pool, private cabanas, saunas, steam rooms and a state of the art hydrotherapy tub. The popular traditional facials and scrubs are where it’s at…

Ole Henrikson
The stuff beauty dreams are made of… Henrikson’s facials, using the Henrikson-brand of nature-based products, are incredible, and his micro-dermabrasion technique - magnificent! After suffering skin problems as a child, Henrikson became fascinated by the results of an Indonesian botanical treatment. He got a degree in skincare and cosmetic chemistry, opened his own spa, developed his own range of natural products, and the rest is history - like any blemishes will be!

Chris MacMillan Salon
He created the “Rachel” cut and has never looked back. Relax in the exposed brick and distressed wood interior and imagine yourself in a country barn - albeit one where you’ll get a haircut to rival any LA starlet!

Lorri Goddard at Neil George Salon
Beg, borrow, or steal to get a highlighting appointment with Lorri. She works with the shape of your hair to give you the most natural highlights and depth. She’s super busy though, styling the locks of A-listers like Brad Pitt (reason alone to go!) or Madonna, so book well ahead.

Juan Juan
For LA glamour and perfect bounce, get a blow dry appointment with Ja’coall Bergstrom. Relax in the zen-like surroundings as capable hands create stunning waves, cheeky curls, and sumptuous shine. Plus they also offer manicures, pedicures, make-up and massages - so you need never leave!

Anastasia
The birth place of the eyebrow “groom”, and the place to get perfect arches in LA. Anastasia Soare makes your brows perfectly symmetrical, bringing harmony and definition to your face with flawless technique.

Beverley Hills Nail Design
If you’ve never seen a little dog have its nails painted, then head straight over to Beverley Hills Nail Design. Whilst you indulge in the best “mani-pedi” Hollywood has to offer, you can giggle at the pampered pooches who are getting the same, excellent, treatment. Check out the range of nail designs, and the pampering they offer for men to.

Olympic Spa
If you like your massages and exfoliation gentle, and clothed, this Korean spa is definitely not the place for you! Women in bra and knickers will scrub you to within an inch of your life, douse you in water, push and pummel you, before leaving you to relax in the lounge. It may sound slightly terrifying, but you’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and clean, clean, clean! Make sure you have a good few hours to get the most out of it.

Nance Mitchell Co.
If you want to get a “Hollywood” in Hollywood, head to Nance Mitchell’s spa. One of L.A’s best beauty calls, she’s waxed everyone from Demi Moore to Christina Aguilera. With a full body and facial list, she’s prepared for pretty much anything - creative shaping and rhinestone decoration are a specialty.

Kate Somerville Day Spa
Face need a freshen-up? Try Kate Somerville; the go-to-girl for glowing skin. The stars love her, and all head here before any red-carpet bash. Try the “Ultimate Kate” for baby-soft skin… who needs make-up?!
