I had the Facial Bliss ($85) appropriately done by Katherine Bliss-Jones (Kit)…read more I appreciate when someone who's about to work on my mug, sits me down to discuss the treatment and find out my concerns and skin issues. I had acne that I treated with my go-to "harsher the better" philosophy: Retin-A, Accutane, Oxycycline, Pro-Active, and so on. Now my face is pissed off at me and refuses to produce oil like a normal person. Dry as hell yet very, very oily. Kit lovingly listened to me and told me what she recommended for the facial, which I agreed to. The space for the facial was absolutely peaceful, super-clean, and wholesome. I began to feel like I was in Lothlorien, and upon another glance at Kit I saw striking physical similarities to Galadriel as played by Cate Blanchett. Kit's hands gently cleansed my skin, and prepped me for a soothing steam. Truthfully, after this point I just began to surrender to the facial and just relax instead of analyze and fear. I remember her loving hands attending to my face like some sort of sacred ritual. It was filled with beautiful scents, gentle sweeping movements, calming massage, and utter peace. She added a hand and wrist rejuvenation treatment that included massage, essential oil, and warm mitt infusion. Then she told me that she would throw in an eyebrow design as well. Good right? I started freaking out because this Korean girl's been blessed with a moon-face that was considered beautiful in 16th century Korea, but in this age makes her want to grow grow grow her eyebrows to make her face look smaller so birds birds stop flying into my head. I told Kit my fears and she totally understood and told me what she was going to do and why. Kit used hard wax which I love b/c of the lack of pain and the gentle stripping off the skin. It felt great and I just hoped for the best and relaxed into it. After a soothing crystal mask and some other treatments, she propped me up and said, "now for the best part." Uh, typically that statement is not one I associate with Lydia sans makeup but what the hell I grabbed the mirror and inspected my bliss-facialed face. Holy mother of Jesus, my eyebrows were freaking perfect. I guess in my effort to use my eyebrows to make my face look smaller, they had gotten Wookie on me. But now, wow, Kit made my top arch higher and cleaned the under and some other stuff that made my eyebrows frame my eyes and face much better. The skin on my face didn't look angry anymore. It looked nourished like it had just taken a deep drink from the fountain of Galadriel. I had that glow and even the muscles on my face had softened. I looked and felt serene. I guess I was tense before I got there and didn't even know it. What can I say to sum up this wonderful experience? I came for a basic facial and I left feeling nurtured and peace by Kit's loving tending to. It's like I thought I was just going to get a sip of water, but I ended up with a wholesome and thorough satiation. I highly recommend Galadriel's blissful facial!

Me and my husband strongly believe in the Ayurvedic way of healing. We were in search of Ayurvedic…read morepractitioners in Los Angeles(LA). We were so happy to find Madison and Victor at Pacific Coast Ayurveda (PCA). They are true gems who first focus on the root cause of the health issue. They then diagnose not only the body but also the mind. At the initial consultation Madison & Victor did a deep diagnosis with pulse reading, daily habits, diets, family history and after correlating all the facts, the root cause was identified as Vata imbalance in my body. A 7 Day panchakarma was prescribed for me. Healing process involved traditional methods like Abhyanga with herbal oil, Shirodhara, Anuvasana Vasti, Kashaya Vasti, Netra Vasti, Nasya, Poultice and 10 body Marma therapy. The Treatment :- 1. Detoxified my body. 2. Relaxed my mind. Daily talks with Madison & Victor opened up my thought process and I gained more confidence in my skills and found a clear direction in which to channel my energies. 3. Involved practice of yoga, especially to unblock the Svadhisthana chakra which was identified as one of the reasons for my ailments. 4. Involved consumption of herbal medicines. 5. Tweaks to the diet. They recommended adding certain foods items and removing certain items so as to keep Vata in check. I felt truly rejuvenated after the healing got done. PCA's LA location in Calabasas is away from the big city madness. The atmosphere at PCA is very calming. You feel warmly welcomed as soon as you enter. The treatment room and amenities are very clean. Madison & Victor are very sincere and dedicated to what they are doing. It is not just a job for them. Instead they treat it as an medium to share this nice way of life for the betterment of mankind. I would recommend PCA to all who are looking for a holistic healing.

Quality services in an intimate setting…read more After over a year of neglect, and several questionable DIY root touch-ups, I finally sought out a local expert. Damien is the one-man show behind the Salon at Rendezvous, and he runs a meticulously curated, luxurious operation. ​The experience began with a thorough consultation; we discussed my desired outcome and his suggested approach until we agreed upon our plan of action. Once we settled on a plan, Damien's fabulous wife (and co-owner of Rendezvous) brought me a handcrafted tea latte to enjoy--a delicious start to the transformation. ​The salon itself is a coastal sanctuary. With only one chair, one washing station, and large windows facing the coast, the atmosphere is deeply personal. From the moment you pull into the reserved parking space right at the entrance, it is clear the owners have mastered the art of the intimate, high-end experience. I have received many compliments since Damien worked his magic, and will definitely be returning!

I got married on Sept. 28 and Amir did an amazing job with my hair! When I was searching for a hair…read morestylist in Gualala, CA, I was quite limited in the individuals willing to do wedding hair. A few were unavailable but most were not doing wedding hair any more for one reason or another. When I called Rumors, Amir picked up the phone and immediately said he would love to do my hair for my wedding. Off to a great start! We visited Amir about a month prior to the wedding to do a trial run. I showed him some of my ideas and he expressed it would be super easy to do. He also suggested doing some highlights to make my hair look "sun kissed" which we ended up spending most of the trial doing. They turned out great! Later, when I told him my hair was feeling dry due to the highlights, he gave me specialized shampoo and conditioner to help heal my hair as a wedding present. So kind and generous! The day of the wedding comes and he shows up ready to get to work. He was fun and expressive when he worked on 2 of my bridesmaids and myself. He worked with each of our needs and types of hair with ease and experience. My hair was incredible and exactly what I wanted, a messy, casual bun that had grace! Plus, now here's the best part, it was COMFORTABLE! He used a bunch of bobby-pins but it didn't hurt at all! Even after 8 hours of wedding and dancing and my hair felt amazing! I don't know how he did it but I was very impressed that he was able to make that type of up-do feel good. Amazing work! He was willing to drive to our hotel (St. Orres) as well as go to the venue to do my husband's hair. He even did a great job with my husband's hair and made him look so handsome! Thank you, Amir! I highly recommend him not just for wedding work but for every day cuts!

We recently moved to the Mendonoma Coast and I have curly hair. In my 15 years in the SF Bay Area,…read moreI went to all the top/popular-on-IG curly stylists. The results were great (well, most of the time), but I was so tired of the whole production: scheduling FAR in advance; $140+ for a trim; sitting still for ages as each individual curl was dry cut; shampoo and style no longer included at some places; etc. I figured I'd try someone local and am SO GLAD I did. For half the price I used to pay, I have a spectacular curly cut and get compliments ALL the time. I got exactly what I wanted, with a shampoo, in a straightforward, efficient manner. So relieved! The Mendonoma Coast is lucky to have Christine and her skill.

She finds the spots in my body that are tight or tense without me even having to tell her. And she's so kind, present, and passionate about what she does. You can tell that she really cares about her clients and she wants to make sure you are comfortable. I can't recommend her highly enough. I also did the 6 week hypnotherapy series with Robert and it was a game changer for me. I was previously experiencing a lot of anxiety, frustration, and stress. It became obvious to me that something needed to change and I've previously tried different method of healing (therapy, journaling, meditation, etc) so why not give hypnotherapy a shot. Robert helped me to learn that relaxation is our natural state and how to help myself calm down if I am feeling overwhelmed. He helped me realize that I can change. Honestly I'm a more present parent and I feel happier and healthier overall.
