I cannot tell a lie – I was more than hesitant as I set out to try a new salon discretely tucked away in what appeared to be the attic of the Salon 180 Beauty Lounge in Los Angeles.
But, some days the beauty gods smile upon us and such was the case the day I discovered D-Spot Salon….a little slice of heaven in the heart of Mid-Wilshire. And, while D-Spot is in the “loft” area of Salon 180, once you climb the stairway to that place in beauty heaven, trust me, it’s worth every step of the journey.
D-Spot is owned (and solely operated) by an uber-Cosmetologist/Esthetician (and Fred Segal alum), who bears one mission in life: to help you become more relaxed AND even more beautiful.
While her gel Mani’s are to die for (literally, mine lasted over 2 weeks!) and her Lemon Bliss Pedicure is, well, sheer bliss, she also specializes in waxing, makeup application, expert brow shaping and eyelash extensions. And, while the services are stellar, the prices are modest.
Despite the professional pedigree, an obvious eye for detail and an artful precision that is unparalleled, a visit to D-Spot will also keep your credit card cravings under control. The D-Spot mantra isn’t to jack-up service prices in order to create a false sense of chic; rather, a new and refreshing philosophy here in LA - keep the client happy, so he/she comes back for more! All while prettily packaged with personal attention to the extreme.
And when I say extreme – it mean literally extreme. At D-Spot, only one client is booked at any given time. Thus, for any service, and during the entirety of a service, clients literally enjoy solitude while getting polished and pampered. Forget the noisy conversations, ringing cell phones or girlfriend groups en masse. When you visit D-Spot, it’s truly as if you’ve crossed the velvet rope into your own beauty VIP suite. No on-lookers are gawking, no inquires as to your services, light refreshments are served, and all treatments are custom ordered.
Now, thanks to D-Spot, you can get your glam on like any other A-lister in this town. Just ensure you book well in advance – this kind of star treatment generally requires advance notice…or some serious name dropping.
