Cash for your car

Frederic Fekkai is the first name in luxury when it comes to hair. So its no wonder that the salon, in the heart of Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive, threw a pre-Academy Awards “Ultimate Red Carpet Beauty Experience”. On the Thursday and Friday before the Oscars, nominees, presenters and VIPs indulged in some complementary pre-show beauty treatments to get ready for the red carpet. From relaxing manicures to eyelash extensions to, of course, hair treatments, the salon provided all the services to get the stars glowing.

Blowouts, hydrating hair masks and bronzing services were provided by the Frederic Fekkai stylists. Dryers were roaring and curlers were piping-hot to get the celebrities’ hair styled perfectly for the various parties happening that weekend in honor of the Oscars. Frederic Fekkai salons provide their clients with an unprecedented beauty experience and the highest quality service. The salon is more of a full-service beauty-retreat than your average hair shop, and employs the industry’s most sought after stylists and colorists. Year after year, the salon receives rave reviews for its exceptional cutting and color services. Judging from the looks of delight on guests’ faces after getting their hair styled, you could tell that all of Fekkai’s recognition is well-deserved. www.fredericfekkai.com

O.P.I. manicurists 

Afterwards, O.P.I. professional nail technicians were on hand to primp and lacquer guests’ nails. With a variety of colors to choose from, everyone was sure to get what they wanted. In fact, O.P.I. has one of the largest collections of nail colors to chose from. Always on the cutting edge of nail care, O.P.I. makes products for both professional and home use.  Their newest color collection takes its inspiration from Australia, with bright corals, hot pinks and rich browns with fun, Down Under-inspired names like Koala Bear-y and A True Ab-original. www.opi.com

Olivia Wilde, Janice Bremac 

While waiting for their nails to dry, they could head over to Paulo Siqueira to get their brows done. Brazilian born Siqueira, who has performed his magic on famous faces like Giselle Bundchen and Naomi Campbell, has earned the undisputed title of "Eyebrow Designer" for his artfully designed eyebrows. Headquartered in New York, Paulo’s claim to fame is his concept of trimming and then finely plucking the eyebrows, rather than waxing, which he feels is too harsh for the skin. For him, it is all about sculpting and precision with his trademark tweezer. Janice Bremac, a makeup artist with Frederic Fekkai, was also on hand with the tweezers and made sure actress Olivia Wilde’s brows were plucked to perfection. www.paulosiqueira.com

Xtreme Lashes 

After brows, they could make their way over to the Xteme Lashes station, where experts were applying semi-permanent eyelash extensions. The leader in extensions, Xtreme Lashes gives you luscious, thicker, fuller lashes instantly. Applied by a certified trained professional, they are perfect for both special events and everyday wear. And they make your eyes look incredibly beautiful. www.xtremelashes.com

Barbie  Laurino, Sydne Summer 

But the treatments didn’t stop there, because what good is perfect hair and nails and brows without a beautifully made up face? A team of Laura Mericer makeup artists expertly applied Mercier cosmetics to make the guests even more beautiful. Laura Mercier is known for her trademark ‘Flawless Face,’. Her namesake makeup line enables you to achieve your full beauty potential, from concealers that go virtually undetected to lip glosses that leave your lips with a just-bitten glow. Mercier’s collection has an uncanny way of becoming the go-to products for your daily makeup routine. www.lauramercier.com

While they were being pampered, guests could nibble on a variety of hors d’oeuvres and sip on refreshing cucumber water. And when they went home, relaxed from a day of beauty, they took with them several products from Frederick Fekkai, O.P.I. and Laura Mercier to use at home. Because getting beautiful, especially during awards season, is a full-time job.
