IN THE AWARDS SEASON… 5 MUST-DO AND MUST-SEE ACTIVITIES IN WEST HOLLYWOOD
PERFECT YOUR GLOW
Radiant skin brings suppleness and firmness, enhancing your natural beauty. We particularly recommend the “EDITION” facial treatment at the EDITION Hotel Spa in West Hollywood, specially designed to prepare you for the red carpet. A day or two before the eagerly-awaited event, opt for a facial treatment with a microcurrent device, which uses weak electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles beneath the skin’s surface, toning, firming and brightening it. Pro tip 2.0: If you’re faced with a dreaded imperfection, cortisone injections can help reduce it. This method involves the doctor “freezing” the skin, then injecting a cortisone-based formula into the scar tissue. Our favorite beauty spots in West Hollywood include Joanna Vargas, West Hollywood EDITION Spa and Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa.
SHOP TIL YOU DROP
As California’s most pedestrian-friendly city, West Hollywood boasts trendy and creative neighborhoods like the West Hollywood Design District and the Sunset Strip. Both offer numerous outdoor shopping opportunities, whether you’re in search of luxury brands, emerging designers, or avant-garde styles. From the chic and minimalist aesthetics to the desert tones of GREAT, explore Melrose for Maxfield, an eclectic collective featuring international luxury brands, vintage clothing, and emerging designers. Special mention to the Danish brand Ganni, worn by stars like Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner to Dakota Johnson and Beyoncé, offering trendy, high-quality looks at reasonable prices. Check out the popular Ganni Bou bag, available in over 10 colors and made from recycled leather.
GIVE YOUR HAIRSTYLE A BOOST
Extra inches without high heels? It’s possible! Have you ever entrusted your hair to a hairstylist? You have two options: marvel at Hollywood’s leading ladies transforming for the red carpet and vie for the Best Hairstyle award, or treat yourself by booking an appointment at one of these renowned salons to perfect your look. Our favorite hair salons in West Hollywood include Andy Lecompte Salon, B2V, Benjamin Salon, Mare Salon, and Marco Pelusi Hair Studio.
SAVOUR THE CITY’S GASTRONOMIC EXCELLENCE
Celebrities flock to West Hollywood to work, shop, pamper themselves, party, and dine. If you hope to rub shoulders with famous faces from the big and small screens, head to Cavatina, located inside the legendary Sunset Marquis Hotel. The ambiance exudes the typical laid-back elegance of Southern California. At Dan Tana’s, the biggest names in showbiz have been dining in this yellow bungalow just south of the Sunset Strip since 1964. Lastly, the renowned Cecconi’s remains a solid choice. Established in London and now in West Hollywood, Cecconi’s offers upscale Italian-inspired cuisine for a chic clientele. Open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to stay all day.
NO PHOTOS, PLEASE!
Okay, maybe we exaggerated a bit! Now that you have radiant skin, beautiful hair, and an outfit that makes you feel amazing, who wouldn’t appreciate a (or several) lovely photos? West Hollywood is famous for its social media-worthy spots, so grab your camera (or iPhone) and ask a friend or a stranger to capture the perfect light and backdrop. Head to Harriet’s Rooftop, the Great White, La Peer Hotel, or the Skybar Los Angeles at the Mondrian Hotel.
