Located on Santa Monica’s Montana Avenue, this modern hair mask bar puts the bounce back into chemically treated hair by using simple, all-natural ingredients mixed fresh to order. For the best results, owner Samira Asemanfar recommends brides come in for treatments once a week for six to eight weeks leading up to the big day. After the treatment, opt for a complimentary wet braid or bun, or grab the styling tools provided for a quick blow dry. $35 for one treatment.
