Spray It, Don’t Say It

Hair Stylist Rebecca Bacon

Judging from your no-makeup makeup approach and collection of minimalist design, you certainly don’t mind making the effort — but it better not look like it.

So instead of fighting the sun, surf, and sand for your beach hair, go see Rebecca Bacon. The west side stylist has perfected tame untamed ’do.

When it comes to piecey layered cuts, Bacon is a gem about keeping the length. And her highlights fall toward the sun-kissed, it-could-be-natural side of the colorists’ wheel.

But the real clincher is the special concoction in the spritz bottle she sends you home with. She’s cooked up a top secret recipe that adds the texture your hair needs for Brigitte Bardot’s The Girl in the Bikini look but won’t dry it out, thereby avoiding Simba the Lion King territory.

After all, you just hate being the mane attraction.

Rebecca Bacon at Piero Hair Salon, 2431a Main Street, between Hollister Avenue and Norman Place, Santa Monica (310-314-1566) or email rebeccabacon@arcutexture.org.
