Budget-Friendly Ways to Look Great During The Holidays
How to look your best during the holidays, from your hair to your feet. Plus an opportunity for a free spa service for the unemployed!
If the holidays were a house, it’d be the money pit. Between Hanukkah gifts to buy, last minute Secret Santa situations, bottles of wine to bring to parties and that beautiful, but pricey, evergreen tree, it’s hard to find any cash to pamper yourself. From your head to your toes, here are some budget-friendly ways to help you look and feel your best:
Hair: On Wednesday nights, John Frieda has hair training nights where you can get a cut or color for $40 cash. An expert trainer is on hand to oversee your hair so it’s a great way to get your hair done on a budget. If you’d like to participate, call and leave a message and they’ll call you when they have an opening. 8440 Melrose Place, 323-799-1184.
Feet: For $20, Sunset Foot Spa offers a heavenly 40-minute combination foot and shoulder massage that is thoroughly satisfying (and feels more like $120 worth). If your feet are sore from shopping or dancing like a lunatic at all those holiday parties, this will offer you some cost-effective relaxation. Two locations, 7125 W. Sunset Blvd (at La Brea Avenue), 323-649-8888 and 5419 W Sunset Blvd (at Western Avenue), 323-898-4220.

Everything in between: Sunset Strip spa Ole Henriksen is offering a free facial or massage to 100 people who’ve been laid off and are struggling. Simply email them your story—how losing your job has affected you, the changes you’ve had to make and how an Ole Henriksen Face/Body service could brighten your day. Email your entry (500 words or less) by 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 24. 8622A W. Sunset Blvd., (310) 854-7700.
Happy holidays!
