When it comes to beauty treatments these are the following places I recommend to friends:
LA:
THE WELL STUDIO — If you’re looking for a top-notch lymphatic massage studio on the east side, I highly recommend The Well Studio in Pasadena. Their signature body lymphatic massages are exceptional, and I believe everyone should experience them at least once—you’ll likely become a regular. Be sure to ask for Colette; she’s the owner and incredibly knowledgeable. Her helpfulness and expertise make each visit truly special, plus we always end up talking about our favorite show Sex and the City.
Hair Atelier LA—For my hair, I trust David Pierre completely. He’s seen it all with me and understands every reference I throw his way. He just gets the look I’m after whenever I go in for a haircut. David owns Hair Atelier, now located at the Peninsula Hotel in LA, which makes every visit feel extra special.
INSPIRED BEAUTY— I’ve been working with Tina Jayes from Inspired Beauty—she’s the best facials in L.A. and really understands my skin. She’s helped me switch to unscented products and introduced me to new options suited for my skin type. Tina takes on only a few clients each year for completely private sessions, which I love because it shows how much she genuinely cares about her clients. Plus, her spa bed is incredibly comfortable—I always end up falling asleep during the session!
NYC:
FACEGYM — When I’m in NYC for work, my face often looks puffy with how quickly I need to adjust to the time difference. FACEGYM is a lifesaver—it’s the best for sculpting and refreshing my skin, helping me look and feel more energized. Their treatments leave me feeling like I just had a full workout for my face, and the results are always noticeable.
Zitomer—it’s right across from the Carlyle Hotel and seriously the ultimate beauty surplus store. They have everything you could imagine and more.
PARIS:
Massato Paris — Massato is my favorite hair studio in Paris. The team is incredibly kind and talented—they always nail the look I’m after. Plus, I love the hidden Japanese garden in their outdoor space, and they serve the most amazing Japanese green tea at the start of each session.
Officine Universelle Buly Officine — Universelle Buly in Paris is my go-to for beauty gifts for family and friends. The store itself feels like stepping back in time, with its beautiful vintage-inspired packaging and unique fragrances. They have everything from luxurious creams to artisanal candles, and every item feels so special and thoughtfully made—it’s the perfect place for finding something memorable and timeless.
