Your Guide To Getting Gorgeous
Arcona
"Arcona is my gold standard for facials—they use all-natural products and have an incredibly knowledgeable staff."
Nicky Deam, Fashion Director
Kate Somerville
"Kate Somerville is such a magical destination. They have an extensive menu of amazing beauty treatments—one of my favorite services is getting my eyebrows shaped and tinted—it's the best summer pick-me-up."
Megan Gustashaw, Editorial Director
Meche Salon
"Gina Veltri at Meche Salon is absolutely phenomenal at makeup. She is my go-to for any special occasion or big event. She is a true artist who always makes me feel beautiful and glamorous—plus, she's really fun to talk to!"
Sari Tuschman, Editor-at-Large
Benjamin with Negin Zand
"I get my hair cut at Salon Benjamin in West Hollywood—it's the best! I've gotten a few dramatic cuts there with Dylan C. I always leave my appointment happy. The space is really cool too, which is a bonus."
Jennifer Ash, Accessories Editor
Piele Skin Boutique
"Piele Skin Boutique is my favorite place to get a mani and pedi because unlike most other places I've gone to, this location only takes one client at a time. It's so quiet and relaxing and best of all, it doesn't reek of nail polish. Piele is more like a spa than a busy nail salon which makes it enjoyable and less of a chore."
Stephanie Montes, Beauty Editor
Ramirez Tran Salon
"I went to Johnny Ramirez at the Ramirez Tran salon when I went from brunette to blonde. His technique is insane—paper thin highlights all throughout the hair. Months after my appointment the grow out still looks totally natural."
Kendall Cohan, Licensing & Partnership Associate
Blushington
"I’m lazy when it comes to mascara—as in, I’ll take any chance I can get to avoid wearing it on a daily basis. To give my lashes a semi-permanent boost, I’ll occasionally pop into Blushington’s Sunset Plaza location for an eyelash tint, which lasts several weeks and adds a nice black lacquered finish to my fringe.”
Kristi Mikesky, Fashion & Beauty Editor
Mars The Salon
"Mars is heaven—it's the most zen place to get your nails done. I'm obsessed with their Ashitsubo reflexology foot massage. It's such a relaxing experience, you leave floating."
Shannon Nash, Fashion & Beauty Editor
