Plush Beauty Bar For Moms

Being a working mom of a young baby has really spun my life into a chaotic state I didn’t anticipate.  Everyone (including numerous random strangers) told me “your life will change,” but I didn’t really take into account just how much.  Yes, obviously my life is different from my binge-drinking, table-dancing heyday, but I am still able to catch up with friends and make my weekly trip to Target to over-spend on stuff I don’t need - they just take a bit more planning to accommodate my little guy.  It’s the previously simple excursions, like getting a mani/pedi, that have become so difficult I don't even bother anymore.  The thought of trying to squeeze his big ‘ol Graco into a salon makes me want to erupt in tears (it's hard enough maneuvering through Ralphs).  Besides, I don't want to expose my baby to nasty fumes and potentially toxic chemicals (those very same toxins I've been faithfully sucking in for years).  When I read about a new kid-friendly salon which just opened in Los Angeles, I stuffed the Graco and baby in the car and sped  immediately to Plush Beauty Bar to see if it really was as great as it seemed.  This awesome salon is exactly what every mom dreams about – a place to get some pampering while still enjoying the company of your child. 

Spend Some Time at Warren-Tricomi

I'm always nervous when I go to a new salon, especially one as famous as Warren-Tricomi.   You just never know what to expect and I'm always halfway convinced that the people are going to be mean and I'm going to turn into Julia Roberts from "Pretty Woman" and just walk around touching things.  Well I'm happy to report that on my visit to Warren-Tricomi, I wasn't tempted to touch anything (except maybe those mirrors - aren't they fabulous?)  Stylist Christine Symonds instantly made me feel right at home while we chatted about products and decided what I should do with my hair.  Somehow she made it not scary to chop off six inches, even though the thought of that usually brings me to tears.  (I know six inches is a lot, but my hair was seriously approaching Rapunzel status - and not in a good way).
