The highly sought-after Bellacures has reimagined the salon experience for out-of-towners and regulars alike with plush chairs, minimalistic decor, and an ultrasanitary workstation. Aside from the extensive menu of colors, brands, and designs to choose from, Bellacures takes the mani-pedi experience to new heights, offering up signature treatments for your hands (like an anti-aging softening soak) and callus removal for your feet.

and Bronzed's two love languages. Whether you're going on an impromptu date night or are in town for a special event, this is the place to pop in if you're in need of a quick hair removal treatment and a professional spray tan.

You'll find a studio in Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Silver Lake, and Santa Monica.
