Best Inexpensive Salons In LA
Living in LA is expensive. Between rent, cost of food and gas prices, there's little money left over for other things like mani-pedis and haircuts. But personal maintenance shouldn't have to be sacrificed to make ends meet. There are quite a few reputable low-cost salons and spas in Los Angeles that don't cost an entire week's salary just to walk in the door. However, finding an inexpensive salon that doesn't leave you with a cheap looking do is risky unless you go to one of these five Los Angeles salons.
