Inglewood Beauty and Salons

A trio of physicians—a dermatologist, an ophthalmic surgeon, and a plastic surgeon—keeps watch over both DermaBare offices, warding off signs of aging from wrinkles to cellulite. Registered nurses aim to obliterate unwanted hair at the root using one of three advanced laser hair-removal machines: the Lumenis LightSheer Duet, Candela GentleLase, and GentleLase Pro. Heated energy rays can also be pointed at faces to help encourage collagen production or send spider veins scattering off of legs and underneath the floorboards. DermaBare's other aesthetic treatments include dermal fillers, chemical peels, and plastic surgery treatments such as breast augmentation and rhinoplasty.

The stylists at Rose & Aqua L'Atelier craft exquisite hairdos inside of a chic upscale salon. Amongst clean exposed brick, framed floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and tufted white chairs, the staff injects beauty into every strand they touch with cuts, highlights, and gloss. They also offer Brazilian blowouts and haircuts for men and children.

After graduating from the Aveda Institute in New York with a degree in esthiology science, B.B. Wax’s owner, Yana Landau, honed her craft in New York City and Miami, gaining certification in chemical-peel application, eyelash extensions, and waxing along the way. Today, Yana leads her professional team as they revitalize clients with products from brands such as PCA Skin, JB Lashes, and Smart Skin Solutions. Aestheticians restore faces to youthful vigor with facials, peels, and microdermabrasion treatments, and smooth bodies with a full range of waxing services for men and women. They also empower eyes with fluttering NovaLash eyelash extensions, which are weightless, waterproof, and can last for up to two months, depending on how many butterflies clients kiss at the bar.

At Ithica- A Debra Aldi Hair Salon, Aldi keeps hair healthy by encouraging clients to care for their whole body as well, advocating drinking alkaline water and monitoring mineral intake. Her team of Vidal Sassoon–educated stylists continues this natural approach during personable coiffure-shaping sessions, wielding organically based products from celebrated beauty lines such as Kenra and Goldwell. In addition to haircare and mani-pedis, threading rolls taut threads over body fuzz, swiftly clearing away hair with a technique first discovered by cavemen while slipping into frayed sweaters.

Oksana Bychkova wants each of her clients to look and feel their best, and—because she is the owner and only staff member in her business—each client is essential to her success. So to ensure repeat customers, she personalizes each of her services in order to address each client’s individual needs. Oksana specializes in deep peels and extractions and also performs cleansing and exfoliating facials, which may include steaming, massage, masks, and moisturizers. She also enhances eyes with 3D Lashes eyelash extensions and removes unwanted hair from the bodies of men, women, and Cousin Itts using both soft and hard, stripless wax.

Inside the sunny La Peer Beauty shop, patrons assisted by licensed pulchritude professionals browse glass shelves stacked high with candy-colored OPI nail polish, high-end skincare and hair products, and fragrances in twinkling bottles or room diffusers. Colognes such as Thymes’s Agave Nectar leave a bright, crisp fragrance on dermises, and skincare regimens from brands such as Dermalogica treat façades stressed out by harsh weather or the thought that professional wrestling is fake. An arsenal of curling and straightening irons and hair-dryer attachments help home stylists create their ideal dos, and hairsprays such as L’Oreal Elnett keep styles fast in place. An onsite salon puts La Peer’s products to the test as stylists trim hair or add extensions, aestheticians treat skin with facials and eye treatments, and wax techs whisk away unwanted hairs.
