Haute Spot: The Private Room Salon

Yesterday I stopped by a new Beverly Hills salon called The Private Room to check out the chic, intimate space (black and white modern finishings, with a dose of sparkly glamour) and was treated to some much-needed pampering.

Owner Tina Dizion is warm, bubbly and uber-talented (she's best known for her masterful work with extensions), and gave me a bombshell-worthy blowout in no time at all. Then I was introduced to their signature Color Bar, where I spied a rainbow of colorful clip-in hair extensions to try out. 

I'm certainly not one to go for wild experimentation, but just this once, I trusted Tina and let her do what she wanted with me.

In the end, I walked out with a vibrant magenta extension piece, and some pink 'chalking' to even out my look. Definitely not my usual style, but super fun for the right occasion, just in case I'm feeling spunky for some reason!

I can't wait to go back and check out their other genius offerings (permanent waves? ballet extensions? Keratin treatments?)--I'm intrigued!

Beauty Day!

I kicked off my weekend with a fabulous visit to the Byron and Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills for a celebrity/VIP pampering day. The gorgeous space (all-white interiors, floral arrangements by Teleflora, outdoor courtyard space) sets itself apart from other posh salons in the area because its tucked away on Civic Center Drive, which is a much quieter and discreet location.

I enjoyed a luxurious (gorgeous! voluminous! sexified!) blow-out by Bernard, and later made the rounds to pick up some goodies from Carrera Sunglasses, Express (romper & maxi dresses) and Cover Girl (Lash Blast mascara and lip stains)! During my treatment, I was sandwiched between Abigail Breslin and Rosario Dawson at the salon, and Rachel Zoe, Amanda Peet, Ali Larter, Michelle Tractenberg, Gabrielle Union and more were also making the rounds.
