Alex:  Going to Newport Beach this weekend for a birthday bash. Definitely want to get a wax before I get into a bikini. Do you have someone good?
Nik:  Go see Mirella at Cristophe in the BH (348 N. Beverly Dr. 310-274-0851). She’s one of my favorite people on the planet. I’ve been going to her for years. She’s equal parts therapist (not licensed) and aesthetician. If you ask her for advice (which I highly recommend) and often if you don’t, you’ll get her no-nonsense opinion. You’re seriously so distracted pondering whether life is really as easy as she makes it sound, that you almost forget she’s handling your other lady business. PS. Mirella’s tips for a (sorta) pain free experience: Timing is everything…don’t go the week before your period, no exercise before your appointment (increases the blood flow downtown, which increases sensitivity/pain) and pop some Tylenol an hour before you go.
Alex:  the BH?
Nik:  Beverly Hills.
