BEAUTY BLACK BOOK: THE BEST ADDRESSES FROM COAST TO COAST

HIGH-TECH HAIR REMOVAL

You can ban the blade, skip the waxing session, and still be a smooth operator. Just check out these state-of-the-art spots. Under the beam of a laser or the flash of intense pulsed light (IPL) the pros will permanently reduce body hair from your upper lip to your lower legs- and everywhere in between.

NUMBER 1 LOS ANGELES
BLUE MEDICAL BEAUTY SPA
14622 Ventura Blvd.
818.783.3600

THE SCOOP—This spot specializes in defuzzing bikini lines and underarms. Fans like Shannon Elizabeth and Virginia Madsen can feel easy knowing they’ll never leave seeing red-skin that is. That’s because registered nurses zap hair follicles using lasers that cool the skin as they treat the area. Post-treatment, chill out in front of calming waterfalls and flat-screen TVs in the lounge decorated in blue glass. And you can banish stubble at your convenience: the spa is open seven days a week, until 8pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends

BEST SELLER—Bikini Saver Cream ($20).
