Salon: Allen Edwards Salon + Spa
It is an indescribably thrilling experience to be sitting in the chair at a glamorous and new (to me) salon, waiting for my first hair appointment with legendary beauty icon Allen Edwards. Most people know that Allen Edwards is the man responsible for that immortal haircut the late Farrah Fawcett sported during the mid-1970s, back before she became a “Charlie’s Angel.” Read More »

Sports: The LA Tennis Open
“I went to the ATP tennis event and nobody showed up.” That could have been what people said upon leaving the disappointing LA Tennis Open Presented by Farmers Insurance Group at UCLA (www.LATennisOpen.com) in late July. No top 10 players. Sparse crowds. Player defaults. Not exactly the showcase hoped for by the Southern California Tennis Association (http://www.scta.usta.com) and the Association of Tennis Professionals (http://www.atpworldtour.com), the organizers of the event.

Salon: British Cool at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills
There’s this thing about salons in Beverly Hills that I hate. Snotty receptionists that look you up and down, determine that you are not a famous movie star or even a reality television idiot, and immediately treat you like a second-class citizen. Think Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman,” on her first shopping trip to Rodeo Drive, and you’ve got the idea. Read More »
