Angelino’s take their appearance seriously. Not for them are there cold winters to stock up on comfort fuel and hide extra pounds beneath woolen jumpers and coats. Angelino’s bare all, all year round. Add in to the mix the beautiful people of the entertainment industry and LA sets the standard for perfect nails, stylized hair, all over body tans, and more toned muscle than the Olympics. Many of the highest paid plastic surgeons in the world have clinics in Los Angeles. The entertainment industry wants youth and the insiders, as well as those connected through six degrees of separation, are fighting age like it’s the new cancer.
There are salons and spas on every corner of Los Angeles. While convenience will certainly play a role in choosing where to have your hair done, your nails painted and your body rubbed and scrubbed, customer feedback websites such as Yelp (http://www.yelp.com/la) and CitySearch (http://losangeles.citysearch.com) help in narrowing down the vast choice of beauty care available in LA. Below are a few recommendations to get you started.
Generally, tips of 15 to 20% of the service fee is the norm at hair and nail salons.
