A Unique Hair Salon Experience At Séchoir+ On Santa Monica's Montana Avenue

Posted Jan. 17, 2013, 8:23 am

I’ve started to notice that there’s a service out there for anything. From head-to-toe, these days you can get just about anything done for you. Starting with salons for painted nails, beauty counters that will thread your eyebrows and do your make-up, to the latest for hair which means that if you don’t feel like doing your own (which ranges from washing to a full up-do to a simple “blow-dry”) then you don’t have to. Sounds good to me!

Andrew's Cheese Shop In Santa Monica: 'This Place Stinks!'

Fittingly, cheese gets around, and it’s probably safe to say we’ve all seen it laced through eggs at breakfast, pressed between bread for lunch, draped over crostini (while flirting with wine for hors d’hoeuvres), melted beneath pasta for dinner, and occasionally naked lounging next to fruit during dessert.
