Skin Laundry Launches–the Ultimate Quickie Facial (West Hollywood & Santa Monica)

July 24, 2013

Drybar and Blushington…now Skin Laundry debuts the ultimate quickie facial (10 minutes) with their Santa Monica and West Hollywood locations.  

Opening its doors to the community, new clients receive a complimentary treatment.

A serene sanctuary with comfortable beds, minimalist color palette, clean lines and California cool-inspired artwork, Skin Laundry is a global game changer in the world of beauty.  Skin Laundry’s innovative laser technology is now bringing healthier, more radiant and younger looking skin to faces throughout Southern California.

Created around the refreshing, simple idea of "Healthy Skin With No Down Time," and recognizing the need for this efficient, results-driven service in our fast-paced society, Skin Laundry’s no nonsense technique is available to both men and women.  

Offering a transformative and affordable alternative to both invasive procedures and formula facials, Skin Laundry’s technique is an affordable ten-minute ritual that leaves skin glowing in the time it takes to grab a coffee.

Think of Skin Laundry as your personal trainer. In the vein of routines such as going to the gym, Skin Laundry emphasizes the need to maintain a healthy complexion by tightening and toning your skin.

And with Skin Laundry’s soon-to-come product line, clients will be able to keep up their skin workout at home.

Pricing starts at $75 for a single session with $220 per month for a Skin Laundry membership.

Arcona’s Red Carpet Radiance Treatment and me!

February 21, 2013

With awards season officially here (and nearly over) in tinsel town every salon from the 900__ to the 9021_ is bustling with treatment choices.  One of Hollywood's hottest happens to be ARCONA'S Red-Carpet Radiance Treatment. Celebs such as Zoe Saldana, Emmy Rossum, Anna Kendrick, Rachel Zoe and Mandy Moore head to this chill west side haven.

The Red Carpet Radiance Treatment includes: Oxygen spray & LED
Price: $175 (so worth the splurge for a big event or occasion)
Treatment Time: 80 minutes

After a particularly stressful week ARCONA's relaxing vibe nearly wiped away all of my stress. My aesthetician was Melissa. Spunky, sharp and so skilled Melissa left my skin glowing. As a self proclaimed beauty junkie I've been around the block. I know that the odds of leaving a treatment looking better than when coming in are slim to none. Last weekend I left looking better than I did when I arrivew with full makeup. I swear!  C'mon I wouldn't lie to all of you! Melissa integrated massage, exfoliation, gentle cleansing and hydration into this powerful treatment. Apparently massaging our skin provides an antidote to gravity as well as work to contour our skin.

I have posted a pic below of me with NO MAKEUP!! Gasp!

A little about ARCONA:

ARCONA is natural luxury skin care and facial studio were born in Los Angeles in 1989, established by a remarkable woman named Arcona. The key to ARCONA's effectiveness is its
