Studio DNA, Santa Monica

Even if Aubrey Loots doesn't look familiar, his work probably does. The owner of The Doves by DNA has served as the hair stylist on makeover shows on OWN and Lifetime and is the head hair stylist on ABC's The Taste. When he's not busy designing manes for broadcast, runway and editorial, he's running The Doves by DNA alongside his husband and co-owner, Danny Leclair. There, the pair and their staff give their clients on-trend cuts, color, and straightening treatments, beginning each appointment with a relaxing scalp massage. And they don't stop at hair, either. They also offer makeup applications for special occasions and lessons for those who want to learn why the lips are not where mascara goes.
