Hair Stylist Andrea Ford
There was Dr. “How Does That Make You Feel?” Gates. Dr. “Droopy Eyes” Mandel. And Dr. “Way Too Interested in Your Sexual Fantasies” Geary.
Therapy is enough to make you pull your hair out.
Don’t. Instead call stylist Andrea Ford, whom we like to call the hair therapist.
Like all good analysts, she starts with an in-depth consultation (let your hair down — she won’t judge you for cutting your own bangs) about how your hair fits into your lifestyle — whether you’re a two-hour-blow-dry type or a wash-and-goer.
Then the true healing begins. She’ll come to your place and create a cut and color that integrate perfectly with your life. She’ll even do her thing while you’re checking your e-mail or feeding Freddy mashed carrots.
If only Dr. “Enough About You” Jenkins had been so accommodating.

Take a Hiatus
Hiatus Spa + Retreat
You’re not into clubs. Watching TV beats untzing on a cheesy dance floor. And airplane lavatories are disgusting, not to mention minuscule.
But take a glimpse of Hiatus Spa + Retreat, Inwood Village’s new membership-based sanctuary, and you may change your mind.
Commit to an annual, six-month, or month-to-month membership and you’ll get the core service of your choice (50-minute facial, massage, or body wrap — including hand, foot, and scalp massage) and one add-on (fusion stone therapy) per month at a slamming price ($49, $59, and $69).
The serene, earth-tone space houses fourteen treatment rooms and 4,700 available appointments a week — they’re open till 9 p.m. on school nights.
Nonmembers are welcome but have to pay the price (core treatments start at $75).
Making it pretty appealing to become a club kid.

The Shining
The Umo 24-Karat Gold Facial
Sure, money talks. But you seldom listen.
And everyone’s tired of explaining to you why the real value of a dollar cannot be determined by how well you can fold it into a football.
Time to finally set your sights on something with real value: the Umo 24-Karat Gold Facial. It begins with a generous slathering of Gamma PGA (a super-potent hydrating compound that allows the skin to better absorb the gold).
Next comes a thin layer of the precious metal (applied all over your face in small strips) to help prevent the signs of aging by fighting off those nasty free radicals.
Then a gentle nano mist (combined with an ionic charge) ensures that everything penetrates the skin. Sound complicated? We thought so.
All you need to know is that the results are golden: Fine lines are eliminated and the skin glows.
Bet your bottom dollar.
Available at Luxury on Lovers, 4703 West Lovers Lane, University Park (214-352-8800 or luxuryonlovers.com).
