VITO ESPOSITO SALON – BEV HILLS NEWEST AND CHICEST IN HAIR EXPERTISE

October 31, 2010

I recently experienced the phenomenal Midollo di Bamboo hair treatment, Thermal and Cold Cauterization for extremely damaged hair at the gorgeous and tres glamorous boutique VITO ESPOSITO SALON in Beverly Hills.  The brilliant and talented Vito performed this outstanding nourishing treatment (ooh and a fab trim and color touch up!) while I sipped on-the-spot handmade cappuccinos and discussed all things hair restoration with the uber-educated Vito.

A little back story: Vito is a premier stylist, rocking the hair industry for over 20 years.  He's taught hair cutting and styling in Rome and Milan for the reputable hair industry giants of Wella Professionals and L'OREAL and styled hair for the runway shows of numerous elite companies like Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.  While living in the U.K. Vito taught and worked at Toni & Guy as well as the Vidal Sassoon Academy.  In L.A., he worked at Jose' Eber Atelier Salon before opening this stunning new salon.  In other words, he's a master of his craft.  The salon itself is beyond beautiful – clean, minimal Italian design with an outdoor rooftop lounge where you can chill while your hair is in process mode. 

But what's also so striking about his new spot is the long list of hair nourishing treatments, not to mention salon services such as hair removal, waxing, nails, make up and facials.  He uses the most amazing products from Italy that you wont find anywhere else.  After my treatment my normally brittle and dry hair was shinier, softer and moving in a way it hasn't in months.  In fact, I'm going to go back next month for another treatment to really seal the deal. 

Vito is a gem and so is this jewel box of a salon.  Upscale upscale.  My mother in law would love.

Stringy brows? Get threaded at THREAD – quick, cheap, GOOD!

October 24, 2010

I'm always jazzed when I discover a little gem in my hood. Found this one on a neighborhood stroll this week. THREAD. A full on threading only, as in no wax, salon.  This place is so simple, right down to the gorgeous, immaculate, minimal modern design (love the graphics!), affordable ($15 for brows, me likes) that it just makes perfect sense. I so want peeps to know about it because the woman, Kalpana, who worked on me was phenom.

Once again, $15!!! for gorgeous brows. Oh and if you don't know what threading is, it's a fantastic, ancient (though not, er, pain-free) alternative to waxing.  The 'threader' uses a spool of good ol' fash thread and does this cool little maneuver over the hairs which pulls it out from the root.  I'm super sensitive to facial waxing and this has been my go-to hair removal technique for years.  

After that, a little brow trim, a dab of lovely Yonka toner swabbed across, an you're good to go, albeit red, blotchy and horrible skin-reaction free.  At least for me.  The upper lip hurts like a mo-fo but once again, nothing compared to what wax can do or leave you with if you are wax-sensitive.  It's said that threading lasts longer as well.  I'm totally sold on this place and it will now be my go-to hair-free face salon.  Ooh, and I can walk there! Lucckyyy!

PAINT SHOP OF BEVERLY HILLS – NOW ON WEST THIRD, NEAR THE GROVE

October 19, 2010

Once again, another lil gem in the hood.  Walk into this Thai-Mediterranean inspired salon for a fab mani/pedi with excellent skilled, impassioned technicians.  The buddha-bo-ho chairs are custom built.  Lots of yummy treatments to choose from.  We breathed life into my dull nails and flaking cuticles with the Revive 10 Manicure ($38) – lots of delicious and therapeutic tee tree oils, hot mitts and an insane massage brought my hands back to life and rescued them from way-too-lazy-with-my-hand-cream hell.  

They also do waxing and even hair color and cuts and from the looks of the place, jumping on a mid-week aft, the customers were plentiful and happy.   Two ladies there told me they have been going to them for years (before they moved from Robertson) and they simply give the best mani-pedis in town.   I saw Judy and she was awesome.

They also make their own line of nail/foot care, massage cream/oil products.

Best part is it's walking distance from me! 

I think I'll take these tired puppies over there for some TLC next time.
