With $10,000 worth of treatments, the ladies underwent non-invasive procedures, including Fraxel laser skin resurfacing, Skin Tightening, FotoFacial, VelaShape, Read more

The Mane Man of L.A Hair Design, David Grossi

A woman sits in a swivel chair, biting the bottom of her lip nervously.  She knows it’s time to transform her hair – long and brittle from a long, cold winter – into something she can feel confident about. With the calming aura and natural talent of David Grossi, she rises from her chair with a smile and glowing new hairstyle.

Since his teenage years, Grossi has dabbled in the art of hair design, amassing 25 years of first-hand experience in the business. His roots in the industry began by watching his hairstylist-father at work, finally picking up the scissors himself to coax unruly and unmanageable manes into something to behold. “Anything I can see with my eyes I can do with my hands,” says Grossi. “It’s a wonderful feeling to go to work every day with 100 per cent confidence.” Read more

To Fill or not to Fill

Here’s the diagnosis: loss of volume, not (regrettably) from the hips, but from the cheeks and “marionette” area. Portions of my face are not only wrinkling, but they are magically disappearing.

What now – undergo the pain and expense of a cosmetic procedure at this stage in my life? This is not necessarily the classic futile quest for eternal youth and beauty (at least I don’t think so). My aspirations are rather humble; mainly, I don’t want to look older than I am. (I also don’t want to look older than my mother – at 82, her skin is smooth as glass). And I don’t want to look older than my friends, to be the one looking across from them at lunch thinking: “Didn’t we used to be the same age?” To me, just figuring out what kind of cosmetic procedure I want seems as intimidating as ordering a gourmet meal off a menu written in a foreign language. And then there’s the pain and bruising, plus the need to use precious work Read more
