I was really happy with my choice to come back to this spa. I've been to many over the past few years and I am glad that I chose LPR for this particular occasion - my 15th wedding anniversary. It was clean, everybody was nice, was not over priced. I'd reccomend the couple's retreat - outdoor massage + copper tub with champaign. Cheers!
Pros: Facility was great, clean, nice and good price.

It had been years since I allowed any curly hair specialist to cut my hair. I had been used to crying after haircuts even from some of the top stylists in town, but this was a completely new wonderful experience. Alyson spent a generous amount of time asking questions about what I wanted and worked in such a detailed way that resulted in my cut Exceeding all my expectations:) I highly recommend her to anyone. I also was grateful to learn about all kinds of interesting ways to help my health as she has a wealth of information to share.
Thanks Alyson!
Pros: Attention to detail and Informative
Cons: none

Long story short, go see Terra for cut and color. After seeing her my hair looks the best is has in 7 years.
And the long story: I Moved to L.A 7 years ago, and slowly my long beautiful natural looking ashy blonde hair (which was full of dimension), started looking like it was all one color, dry, over processed and started breaking off about 4 inched from my scalp. I'm an x model who used to make great money and was willing to spend whatever it took to keep my beautiful hair beautiful. From the start I was going to places like Frederick Fekkai, Louise Lacari, David Paul (that salon was the major reason my hair started breaking off- never go there! I saw the owner (David) and he was horrible!) I was paying about 400 a pop for color only. I could not understand why It was so impossible to find a good colorist. Isn't it supposed to be that the more money you spend, the better quality hair care you get?
Here's what I finally learned: In Toronto (and I'm sure quite a few other places around the world) The owners of high end salons spend their own money sending their stylists who work for them to all kinds of education seminars etc. If you look up hair salons in the Yorkville area in T.O you can read on their websites how seriously they take hair EDUCATION. You can pretty much walk into any high end salon there, and you're going to get incredible color. In L.A, on the other hand (I'm not sure if it's LA, CA, or the U.S in general) The system is quite different. Most high end salons RENT BOOTHS to random hair colorists. If you are a colorist, and you can afford to rent a booth at Fekkai for example- because daddy has money- you can work there. There is no training at all, and basically, no standards!
By sheer luck I found Terra at Gillian Bissett. She is the first person I have ever spoken to in this city who understands color. She has been trained vigorously and is extremely educated in color. Excellent cuts too. And the second best part? Inexpensive, no attitude, and she has a very gentle touch- I can't stand having my hair combed through, and I didn't even notice her doing it!
Pros: excellent cut and color, no attitude, low price

Our girls come here regularly for our nail sets. The nail guys, Kent and Jimmy, are excellent , super careful and amazingly precise. We have tried all kinds of new sets since we found this place, about 2 years now. My favorite is the pink and white set. My other friend likes the glitter-powder set. And other girls just have regular sets with designs on top. They are excellent nail setters, on top, they have very good materials. Our nails stay transparent, shiny and chip-free for up to 3 weeks. While having our nails touched up, we usually have our pedicures done also. Our favorite pedicurists are Lana, Diane, Amy and the new girl Sydney. Lana and Diane usually talk more than the other two.
There are lots of parking places around, just make sure to look at the signs if it's ok to park from 4pm to 6pm. We never use their validated lot. We always use the Japanese Village lot on Central and 1st, so we can get our favorite Italian ice-cream inside the village whenever we come for the nail works.
Pros: The guys i had were amazing!!!
Cons: small boutique salon, get crowded sometimes, so make appts.

I went out on a limb and tried Lauren's Salon based on the reviews here and the fact they are participating in salon week. I loved it! They are extremely friendly, and all really know their stuff. Mary did an absolute fantastic job on my hair. After consulting with her, we dyed my hair a dark brown and changed the cut. It looks amazing. This is easily the best it has ever looked.
Pros: extremely professional and knowledgable
Cons: parking can be somewhat difficult at times

I've been to countless stylists in LA who don't listen to a WORD I say. I was referred to Josh Rosebrook by a friend at work. From the minute he introduced himself to me, he was different, so sweet and professional. I feel like my hair is hard to explain how I like it. I'm pretty specific about the color of light brown I like, along with the way I like my hair to lay after it's cut. I don't feel like I am an easy client...haha. Josh listened to me and reiterated everything I said until we completely agreed on everything. I think we talked for 20 minutes, which no one has ever done with me!! Needless to say, my hair was better than I could have imagined, the color is perfection and he took my cut up a notch and i LOVE It! Really a pro on every level and the salon is gorgeous and peaceful. I highly recommend anyone going to see this guy. Thanks again JOSH!! So happy I found you!
Pros: relaxed, sophisticated, friendly
Cons: street parking, but there is valet option

For my first professional piercings, I chose Body Electric Tattoo & Piercing. I've been contemplating these piercings for over a year now, and after much research, I'm overjoyed with my experience. As with previous reviewers, I found James to be wonderful - he was patient, understanding, and approached all aspects of the piercings with great care and clinical precision - it was exactly what I needed considering the nature of my piercings. I appreciated his step-by-step explaination, as well as the on-site disinfecting process. James continually changed his gloves (VERY important to me) and was conscious of gauging my reaction. And most importantly, the skill involved truly lives up to James' rule of "No guns allowed".
Wonderful staff, very high-quality jewelry, a definite you-get-what-you-pay-for experience. Now I'm just looking for a excuse for my next piercing.
Pros: amazing staff, James, great sanitary practices
Cons: parking on Melrose
