Cesare...where to begin? You know when you get the name of someone or somewhere and you always try to remember when you need it but can't find the card? I had a business card of his from a girlfriend's wedding (her updo was AMAZING, btw) and I'd met him a few times when I was out and about with her. I always said I would make an appt and I don't know why I never did! It took me 8 years to get to Cesare and like all things you tend to put off, I asked myself "why didn't I do it sooner"? It's really amazing how used to crappy hairdressers you get which makes finding Cesare such a welcome gift! I have long, strong, thick hair which is very straight. It had actually gotten quite damaged from going back & forth to light and dark. I didn't quite realize how damaged until I agreed to try the Brazilian Blowout. Amazing! My hair was as if it was virgin hair which had never been touched. I am thoroughly happy and have found my hairdresser for life. Sometimes, the best things do come to those who wait.....but I still ask myself in the mirror....why didn't I do this sooner?! :-)
Pros: Fabulous Cut, Color & Experience
Cons: I Can't Go Everyday So He Can Do My Hair

I've gone to Tangles to see Lyn Nakamura for eyelash extensions twice now and her work is absolutely flawless. The customer service at Tangles is always wonderful and Lyn especially makes the effort to make you feel welcomed and at home.
My eyelashes lasted a good two weeks. I think I went back to Lyn on my third week to get a touch up and about a week later they still look great. (Note that the "lifespan" of the extensions depends mostly on how well you take care of them. Lyn gave good tips.)
I also recently got an updo by Lyn for a wedding and she took what I wanted and incorporated it with what looked best on me. The updo stayed in place until I took it down that night. A good sign of a terrific stylist!
Pros: Eyelash Extensions & Updo
Cons: Too bad I don't make enough money to go there all the time

I found this place by accident and when I discovered Virtual Nails, my years-long acrylic nails nightmare ended. Virtual Nails allowed my badly damaged natural nail beds to heal and now my real nails are strong are healthy, but I can't resist the pretty Virtual Nails--
The great thing is if I just want natural nails for awhile, it's no problem, cause when I take them off, my own nails aren't ruined. It's no more expensive than getting fills for acrylics and you don't have to do it if you don't want to...
and, I had a pedi, too, and it was heavenly...
This place is clean, pretty and everyone is nice, professional and knows what they're doing...
I'm telling everyone about Dashing Diva...
Pros: Best solution to acrylic nails
Cons: none

I visited the spa before making reservations for my best friends birthday becauase of the reviews I'd read. This is a first class establishment. I toured the facility with no hesitation from the staff and made my reservations for four before I left. My friend who was celebrating her birthday was just as impressed as I was as soon as she walked in the door, as were her sister and friend with us. The parking lot across the way was close and convenient, the treatments we had were excellent, the staff treated us like we were VIP's, but that is the way everyone seemed to be treated. We stayed as long as we wanted, and were never rushed. The only negative is we had to be quiet in the jacuzzi, and try and keep any number of women quiet in a close enviornment. The frozen grapes, cucumber slices and warm towels for our eyes were served to us by staff members as if we were royality. If you want to treat yourself or someone you care a lot about, you have to visit BW in Pasadena. The spa is within walking distance from many restaurants, and we were able to leave the car in the lot, drop off our bags, and walk to lunch. My friend is still thanking me, and asking when are we going to do it again.
Pros: Staff is at your beck and call
Cons: We had to be quiet in the jacuzzi

For the longest time my skin has had tons of little bumps and from time to time I would get larger nodules under my skin. This has left some discolored patches on my skin and nothing seems to get rid of the bumps or the patches. I tried a dermatologist but that just seemed to dry my face out and make my skin look sunburned all the time. The only solution I had found was just to put a lot of foundation on to cover it all up and even my skin out. However over time the little bumps and lumps just persisted and I honestly felt awful about my appearance. A girlfriend of mine suggested I try Jannina at Si Bella, she took her time to explain to me exactly what I was doing wrong and how to properly hydrate my skin. She used this amazing hydrating mask to start to calm my skin and calm it down. I kid you not in one session my skin didn't itch or wasn't irritated anymore. She didn't even try to do extractions as she explained that the skin need to be hydrated before we could attempt any of that without scarring. She also had me drink aloe vera juice to hydrate my skin. After a period of a few sessions she slowly started to extract my skin and it was amazing how the hundreds of little bumps on my face started to go away without scarring and discoloration. She did an amazing peel with a natural fruit base that brightened and toned my skin over a few sessions. My friends and family can't believe the difference in my skin - no more foundation! and my more positive attitude about my self image. If your having the same issues as me I really can recommend Jannina or Monica to help you with your skin. The best thing I ever did was to put myself in their hands.
Pros: Customized to your Needs, Straighforward, Effective
Cons: Appointments hard to get, Parking

What a great find. This salon was found by a friend of mine who is doing some modeling work and has to keep her hair looking great. She called me after her first time there and insisted that I try it out. Honestly, I had given up looking for a great cut at a decent price but was pleasantly surprised by the job my stylist, Keya, did. He has cut may hair ever since and no one has ever done as great a job as he does everytime I am there.

I've been going to Raquel for a year and a half now and I cannot say enough kind things about her and BrauHaus. I actually receive compliments about my eyebrows on a regular basis (sometimes direct, sometimes "Your eyes look great, did you get new makeup...?") They treat waxing like the priority it should be, not an afterthought to other spa services. They wax, pluck, tint, dye-anything you can imagine and the results are always fabulous. I strayed once, in a pinch, at my hair salon and was miserable until things grew out enough for me to go back to BrauHaus and have the job done right. It's also just a great space with a friendly staff and awesome vibe. Go, it's worth it.
Pros: Eyebrows as art
Cons: Arrive early your first time, it's a little tricky to find

I'm so glad I listened to the reviews. I have not been happy with my hair dressers for quite some time--it's hard to find the right mix of getting a good hair cut, a reasonable price, minimal waiting for prior appointments, and a nice personality. Christy has it ALL! Plus her hair wash/massage is awesome!!! I will definitely be returning.
Pros: Wonderful personality, great cut, no wait
Cons: Parking
