hey peeps – so sorry, been a longggg time since I've posted! some major tech issues, switched over to new computer and blah blah before you know it i was gone missing for a month!! but i'm back! phew.
over the holidays i experienced a few new technicians of youth and beauty 🙂
first up to share with you is someone valley bound. for my valley gals looking for a little skin refresher, i've always sent them to talented Tina K. at Belle Visage with all her awesome lamprobes and whatnot – but i want to let you in on a little spot called skin addiks run by a lovely aesthetician names Camille Fields. it's a simple little studio, not the full on med spa experience – but i had such a yummy facial, complete with very long lymph massage and an interesting bovine stem cell serum infusion it left my skin so glowing, i could not help but share.
Camille is skin savvy and been in the field for a long time. i do wish we had done more extensive extraction as i'm an extraction junkie – but that's just my preference. the added foot massage was divine. it was a non-aggressive facial, i'd call it 'lite' – no major layers of skin coming off or acid peels, but the formulas used did indeed give my skin a nice boost.
here are a few of my fave offerings on her list…
Trans'firm'ation 90 Minutes $150
A synergy of photo light rejuvenation, and micro-current to facilitate cellular regeneration on a molecular level. Micro-current has the ability to restore lost energy to the tissues and gives the facial muscles and skin a workout that stimulates collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins needed for the skin to remain youthful and glowing.
Clarity 90 Minutes $150
Deep pore cleansing combines with micro-current programs to detox and clarify the skin. LED light therapy calms inflammation and speeds healing. Ideal for acne prone, congested, and rosacea skin types.

After working with some of Hollywood’s brightest stars and in Beverly Hills’ most prestigious salons (he’s Fekkai’s former head stylist, for one), Yoshi Hagiwara decided to open a salon of his own, and my neglected locks are so happy he did! Located on the corner of Camden and Little Santa Monica, Yoshi Hair Studio is a minimalist, intimate little jewel box of a salon offering cut, color, a full array of very cool hair conditioning treatments, makeup and even a little blow-dry bar dedicated to gorgeous $35 blowouts.
Beyond giving me a gorgeous face-framing cut that looked as good when I styled it at home as it did in the salon, Yoshi joined forces with colorist (and wife) Colette to create the perfect shade of rich chocolate. Then, in an effort to add some youthfulness, Colette lightened up a few face-framing pieces to flawlessly fulfill my Alexa Chung hair obsession. All this while I sipped on orange and cucumber water while reading the latest issue of Vanity Fair (not a tabloid in sight, thank you, Yoshi.) I left the salon refreshed, relaxed and looking ten years younger. I
n a city filled with supermarket salons and haughty stylists, Yoshi Hair Studio is the ultimate find.

Walking into Alexandra’s immaculate, minimal, zen white studio immediately made me feel dirty. Her small and perfect studio is so fresh, airy and light filled, I got depressed thinking about how messy my home is. (uh, for some reason.) I couldn’t wait to get on Alexandra’s table so she could scrub and bring light to my face with equal aplomb. Alexandra creates wonderful custom, intuitive facials. She also happens to be an aesthetician after my own heart — she’s an extraction junkie. Before perfecting the art of skin, she was perfecting the art of…art. Alexandra is a painter and her perfectly balanced paintings are a direct reflection of an inner-drive for clarity and balance. This desire for extracting nature’s inner beauty and bringing it to surface is evident in her practice.
Alexandra offers several custom facials. ( fyi : if performed by Alexandra the price may vary slightly ) I experienced the Signature Facial Plus and I left with fabulously clean and radiant skin.
AND WAIT, GROOMED LA READERS WILL GET 20% OFF THEIR FIRST TREATMENT! SO GO FOR THE GUSTO AND GET A GOOD ONE!
