by MICHELLE ROSTAMIAN

Celebrity-endorsed facials, flawless spray tans, beach-ready hair removal treatments: Los Angeles brims with the best of the best when it comes to beauty destinations. After all, the city is home to glitzy awards shows and glamorous red carpet events, and when its high-profile residents aren’t making a splash at those, posh lunch dates and shopping sprees are keeping them busy. With all the glam events and outings movers and shakers have to attend, the city has no shortage of beauty destinations to make the most of their appearance. Why not follow suit? Perfect your tips and toes at Bellacures in Beverly Hills, bronze your bod at Sugared and Bronzed in Pasadena, pamper your skin at Le Jolie Medi Spa in Studio City, or indulge in luxe face and body treatments at Milk + Honey in Culver City. Read on for the crème de la crème of salons to service your beauty needs.

{ Bellacures } FORGET EVERYTHING you thought you knew about nail salons. 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. They have several locations city-wide including Larchmont Village, Westlake Village, Studio City, Brentwood, and a new salon in Beverly Hills.

{ Sugared + Bronzed } SUGARING AND are Sugared 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. The studio specializes in sugaring — a less painful, natural alternative to waxing that helps exfoliate your skin in the process (because Angelenos are efficient like that). When it comes to their spray tans, you'll get an even, consistent result every single time. Sugared + Bronzed has several bicoastal locations, but they are mostly focused on the West Coast. You'll find a studio in Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Silver Lake, and Santa Monica.

{ Brow Ink L.A. } IF YOU'VE around with the idea of microbladed brows,

Brow Ink L.A. is the spot to take the plunge. The brow artists are fully accredited and trained in the art of microblading and creating realistic results, and there are several natural styles to choose from (touch-ups are also available). Not ready to deep dive into semi-permanent makeup?

The salon also offers a glow-inducing facial as well as brow lamination, brow shaping, and Endosculpt for the face and body. There are two Los Angeles locations: One in the famed Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood and one in Glendale.

{ Le Jolie Medi Spa } MEDI SPAS are the go-to one-stop-shop for all things pampering. From movie stars to models to viral TikTok influencers, Le Jolie has hosted many of Los Angeles' finest (Iggy Azalea and Lisa Rinna among them). And it's no wonder: The medi spa has a host of medical and aesthetic offerings, including microneedling, laser hair removal, customized facials and peels, lymphatic drainage, and an injection bar (because it’s L.A.). Le Jolie Medi Spa has locations in Studio City and West Hollywood.

{ Milk + Honey } FACIALS AND massages make for a great pairing, and Milk + Honey is reputed to be a perfect one-stop destination for both. The spa’s tranquil environment eases you into a peaceful state of mind, so that you can hone in on your self-care routine. There are two locations in Los Angeles — Brentwood and Culver City — both of which feature a comfortable lounge area, several treatment rooms, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff who make you feel at home. If you're visiting the Culver City location, you can take advantage of the more exclusive treatments like injectables, laser, and chemical peels.

{ Drybar } NO CUTS, no color, just blowouts. That's the idea behind famed L.A. beauty spot Drybar (though we do recommend taking advantage of their add-ons, which include a scalp scrub, a head massage, and a moisturizing treatment). At each of the many locations you'll find
