3 Beauty Spots in Los Angeles You Need to Know About!
Los Angeles is one of the epicentres of the entertainment industry and for creatives alike. To stay camera ready, there are many spas, wellness centres, salons and treatments spread throughout L.A. Take the best care of your face and body by checking out these 3 beauty spots in L.A. below.
1. The Face Bar la with Tricia Dikes
What it is:
Your go-to stop in Los Angeles for the best facials.
WHAT It’s known for:
The Signature Peel.
Tricia Dikes started giving The Signature Peel to clients in various prominent plastic surgeons’ offices in Beverly Hills. After her loyal following grew by the year and followed her and her Signature Peel around Beverly Hills, she founded The Face Bar which now sits on Melrose.
Now, at The Face Bar, (right across from Urth Caffe and next to The RealReal), Tricia continues to give Signature Peels and has expanded with “The Supercharged Peel” and “The Glow on the Go.” You can also add chest and neck to any of these facials.
What it does:
The Signature Peel removes pigmentation/brown spots, treats acne, reduces fine lines and smooths the skin, all in one session—for real.
The Signature Peel is a gentle, yet effective, chemical peel that exfoliates and renews your skin as it sheds old skin for about 2-3 days. The Signature Peel is quick— so quick that you can stop by during your lunch break.
The Signature Peel begins with steam and extractions to clean out the pores. Then, you move onto an exfoliation treatment which feels like little grains of sand that sit on your skin for about 10-15 minutes. After this, an acid is quickly applied to your skin with a cotton pad. Next, a soothing medical grade oxygen mist streams around your face while you receive a collagen producing micro-needling treatment. Finally, the peel solution is applied (it looks like a tinted foundation) and you wash it off after 8 hours at home.
Why I love it:
My skin reveals a fresh and renewed palette after The Signature Peel’s 2-3 day peel. The peel is gentle enough for my sensitive skin, yet very effective. The results look like I received a laser treatment as opposed to your traditional chemical peel, which makes the Signature Peel a not-so-average and sought after facial treatment.

2. The BrowGal with Tonya Crooks
BEFORE | AFTER A BROW SHAPING!
What it is:
Your go-to spot for professional eyebrow shaping and eyebrow micro blading.
What it’s known For:
Eyebrow shaping and microblading.
What it does:
THE BROWGAL PRODUCTS.
It is said that well-defined eyebrows are the frame of your face. After having your eyebrows shaped at The BrowGal, you and your newly shaped brows will see that this is true. Tonya Crooks, eyebrow expert and founder of The BrowGal, truly has an eye for facial structure, eyebrow placement and eyebrow shape.
Tonya Crooks is also a celebrity makeup artist and has an eye for beauty and knowledge of beauty products. Her perfectionistic eye for a beautiful brow has earned her her name as the go-to eyebrow artist in Los Angeles. Naturally, this combination of makeup artistry and brow expertise led to a The BrowGal product launch of eyebrow setting gels, pencils, tints, and more.
But, back to eyebrow shaping at The BrowGal— After you arrive for you eyebrow shaping session, Tonya eyes your facial structure and quickly begins shaping your brow according to your facial proportions and natural brow shape. Without needing to rely on stencils or geometry, since every face shape is different, she’s able to shape brows that best enhance your face.
If you ever noticed how Megan Fox has beautiful brows, a little secret is that Tonya Crooks shapes them!
Why I love it:
MY BROWS AFTER A SHAPE SESSION AT THE BROWGAL. NOTICE THE ARCH??
My brows were previously attacked at other brow salons, in my quest for a natural high arch. My brows became over-tweezed and the top parts of my brows were missing. :( Now, if I have anyone touch and shape my brows, it could only be Tonya or her method. After I go to The BrowGal, my brows are transformed from a straight brow that are slightly thin and previously over tweezed to……natural looking brows with arches! They also look thicker and fuller, as opposed to thinned out and sparse. I’m not completely sure how it happens, but that is the magic of eyebrow shaping at The BrowGal!

Regeneration, revitalization and high tech are words that come to mind when thinking of Next Health.
LED light beds look like tanning beds, but are actually healthy for your body and skin. LED light beds are lit with skin healing light bulbs (as opposed to damaging UV rays). Before your LED light bed session, you choose the frequency of LED light that best suit your needs.
As always, consult your primary doctor (not aesthetic doctor) before any medical or aesthetic decisions are made.
CHOOSING YOUR healing FREQUENCY FOR THE LED LIGHT BED. i chose movement 1168 hz, which resonates with ligaments, tissue and bone, lymph vessels and middle tissue.

INFRARED SAUNA pod AT NEXT HEALTH
The infrared sauna pods with LED lights are used to aid circulation, body detox, mitochondria, and more. The infrared sauna pod session feels super relaxing and the heat turns up to a comfortable temperature. After your session, you have a natural glow and a very light sweat. Infrared saunas supposedly have a ton of benefits for your body, as it helps get rid of toxins accumulated throughout the day.
Why I love it:
Next Health is like you’re walking into a futuristic health spa. It’s a unique monthly membership and it’s a nice to choose between LED light beds, cryotherapy and infrared sauna capsules. I recently had an injury so I was drawn to the LED light bed to aid in tissue regeneration.
