THE MAINTENANCE JUST GETS BETTER & EASIER..

There is nothing better than that sexy feeling you get when, on a cold winter’s night, you clasp your glass of caymus (or Mi Sueno if you’re at Bandera) with slick, shiny, freshly polished nails sporting Linkin Park After Dark…..or the rush you feel when when you swig some cool crisp Domaine Ott (reserved for the the months of June – Sept only) as your digits sparkle with eye popping Cajun Shrimp. The only thing that makes this experience even better is doing it with freshly blown, sweet smelling, perfect hair! The sad truth though is that for years past, us westsiders have had to travel east to the crowded, stressful streets of Beverly Hills to achieve this look of perfection. OR, perish the thought, suffer through the squalid conditions of Fantastic Sams and Zumani Nails. How, in a comminity where the median home price is seven figures, are its denizens given such unsanitary and inconvenient options???

Well, westerners of the 405, fret no more! I have some great news for you. Your voices have been heard, and there are two new, very welcome additions to the Brentwood comminity!! BELLACURES, 11712 Barrington Court, is a haven for your nails. It is a clean, comfortable and superchic place to get your nails ready to help you knock a few back. They have all the cool new colors, give awesome massages and have excellent manicurists for all of your needs. My TRULY fave new joint is DRYBAR at 11677 San Vicente Blvd. Located at the bottom of Brentwood Gardens, DryBar is an absolute must for anyone who is as inept at drying their hair as I am. Adorned, with carrerra marble countertops and canary yellow accents, it is quite possibly one of the cutest salons in town. Peruse the “bar menu” to find the perfect cocktail for your hair and enjoy a bag of candy while you watch a movie on their large plasma tv. DryBar is a truly wonderful experience for both you and your hair! Dry Bar has promised ten free blowouts and ten free floaters (neck massage) to the first Lemonaid (drinkers) followers who call.
