Summer is in full swing, but it's not too late to ensure you're as primped and polished from head to toe as when you were first prepping for the season. Looking kick ass in a bikini (emphasis on the ass, from a butt facial to a cellulite treatment), having sun streaked--but not sun damaged--hair, and those fingers and toes steeping in eco-friendly mani/pedi heaven are just a few of the locally available premium preening processes to be taken advantage of. Don't you feel pretty already?



Lana Grand's Sun Brushing Coloring Gloss
Call up Lana Grand at Safire McMillan Canale Salon to experience low maintenance, naturalistic sun-kissed locks provided by her hair glossing. The gloss is semi-permanent, so it gradually fades over time, eliminating the worry of visible roots as the hair grows and extending the amount of time between salon visits. It's also relatively affordable at $125.

Chi Nail Bar
Have you ever been into a nail salon that doesn't sting your nose with its chemically smell? Then you haven't been to Chi Nail Bar yet. A new addition to Little Santa Monica in Bev Hills, Chi Nail Bar uses products with 100 percent natural and organic ingredients. Chi is a breath of fresh air in more ways the one--aside from being chemical-free (no stink!), the environment is also lushly designed, taking cues from the pages of Elle Decor with plush white leather seating for manis and gorgeous Oriental-inspired foot basins in the silk pillow-filled pedi section. Another intriguing element? It's a tattooed dude who performs the pedicures, i.e. a pretty great foot massage.

 Kiehl's Sunflower Color Preserving Hair Products
Free of sulfates, silicones and parabens, Kiehl's new line of sunflower seed oil rich shampoos, conditioners and recovery paks are filled with antioxidants, moisturizing vitamins and a natural UV-protective filter. Aside from giving thirsty sun (and salon!) exposed hair some plumpage and protection, it also smells deliciously apricot-sweet.

Dr. Murad's Cellulite Treatments
Dermatologist Dr. Murad professes that cellulite is a circulation problem rather than a fat problem. A series of eight cellulite massages (twice a week for a month) will get you bikini ready, no sweat. Literally. The treatment consists of a very vigorous exfolliating massage, followed by an equally vigorous application of Murad's special, circulation increasing serum. "Your legs will feel like they've been worked out at the gym, even though they haven't," says the masseuse. No pain, no gain, my ass!

 Wax Poetic Brazilians
This adorable salon in Burbank is a bit rock n' roll with its cute, tattooed pinup girl-esque staff. Have a Eliza do your Brazilian--her friendly conversation and quick-rip technique makes for the most painless wax we've ever encountered. And considering how sensitive those southern parts are, that's quite an endorsement. For our complete waxing guide, click here.

Dr. Lancer's Butt Facials
 Beverly Hills-based dermatologist Harold Lancer has long been Hollywood's secret man behind the perfectly glowing, gorgeous skin that we see on the silver screen (our spies have seen the likes of Charlize Theron and Jennifer Aniston in the waiting room, and Denise Richards has publicly praised Lancer for years). The in-house aestheticians not only give skin polishing facials, they offer an off-the-menu butt facial. Which is exactly what it sounds like. The benefit? A bottom that's as smooth and soft as a baby's, not such a shabby idea when sporting a teeny bikini...
