Savvy The Beauty Apothecary

For best results visit savvy on s. Beverly best products and Facialist highly recommended

My favorite hair place! I have my monthly set appointments for 2+ years now and highly recommend Michael, the hair styist @Michael James here! Always consistent and I just sit back and relax and know I get to walk out knowing he does a great job!
Also, I seem to never leave without buying something from the Apothecary store!

I feel ashamed of myself for not writing a review sooner. I was lucky enough to be referred to this place by my sister. And now I am forever grateful. It’s been a couple of years and I still make sure to make my monthly appt with Singris.
Singris, the esthetician is amazing. She is the sweetest most fun loving person I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting a facial from. She never disappoints and her prices are unbeatable. Just last weekend I went for my first peel and my skin thanks her. I’ve never had clearer flawless skin as I do now. Thank you, Singris!
In addition there are these two adorable little pooches that hang out at the shop. Perhaps it’s the owners dog? Who knows but I love it.
You can park for free across the street for two hrs which is more than enough time for a facial. The store is small but cute and very clean. Best kept secret of Beverly Hills.

I wrote my first review for SINGRIS about a year and a half ago but I’ve been going to her for microderm facials since 2011 (a few months before my 2012 wedding). Just want to pop in and say that she continues to do excellent work, and I don’t know what I would do without her. I never thought I would be the kind of person who gets a facial regularly (about every 6 weeks), but Singris is simply that good. Consistent results, meticulous, always personalized to my skin’s needs, and just a sweet person.
I say all this despite the fact that her calendar is full and bringing in more people will probably affect my ability to get an appointment at the most convenient time.
Thank you Singris!!!
Also, the owner Parmiss (spelling?) is a very friendly woman who is so knowledgeable about the products she sells in the store. I don’t buy much product in general, but when I need something, she is always ready with information about different brands and options. She is not pushy which I really appreciate in addition to her helpfulness. I always like perusing the «sale» section near the salon area, you can find good deals there. Also they sell Jane Iredale makeup which is phthalate-​free so it was great to be able to get Parmiss’ help in finding the right color for my skin.

I love the staff and they carry great products. Be sure to drop by and meet the two in house dogs.
I also appreciate how much they love dogs. When I first moved here my bullterrier Sophia and I had been walking for hours (due to house painting) and they both gave us water and let her collapse on the floor.
Sophia can be somewhat aggressive towards other dogs and I loved that the mini poodle put Sophia in her place.
Michael (hair dresser) is a great guy.

Had a Gilt City deal ($ 50 credit for $ 25). This is a charming little store in a wonderful area of Beverly Hills. They have a very well curated selection of products including my favorite candles (Voluspa — even the black ones!) and a lot of high-​end and rarely seen brands.
The owner could not be more helpful. She assisted me with finding a new fragrance after I told her my great sadness that my old standby (Cucumber by Marc Jacobs) was no longer being made, and she was able to find something I really liked. She also helped my friend pick out the perfect foundation, which is never an easy task.
I could have spent all day shopping there… I kept finding new things to love. And the adorable and well-​behaved little poodle completes the picture. A really fabulous find!

Note to self… No one cuts my hair better than Michael.
Amazing stylist and he is really nice and he will cut your hair just the way you like it. I really recommend this place if you want to buy hair products or if you want to get your hair done.

I don’t even know where to start. This place is the best. BEST products. BEST location. BEST ESTHETICIAN. BEST little doggies hanging out. I just love it here!
I found Singris from Groupon when I first moved in LA in 2011. I was just thinking I would bounce around on Groupon facials for the rest of my life. Think again! I had the, most relaxing facial ever! I still do every time I go to see her — which if I am good is about 2 months.
Her pricing is very reasonable, the facials are phenomenal, and I have referred a handful of people to her. She has always been very professional regarding booking appointments, and always tries her best to accommodate my ever changing schedule (with working and a 2 year old it gets pretty hectic). There isn’t enough space for me to write about how great she is!
The location is very cute as well. Located on S Beverly Drive, it’s surrounded by shops and restaurants, with a free 2 hour garage right across the street. It can get pretty nuts around lunch time, so beware. Other than that, it’s effortless.
Parmiss is the woman who runs Savvy (and maybe owns it too? not sure), and she is super sweet as well. She has a few little dogs at times which I love! It is so refreshing to meet real genuine people in the world. Every time I visit I get to chat with Singris about what has happened to each of us since I was last in, she remembers things about me and my family, and the same for Parmiss. Lovely ladies I can’t be more thankful to have met!
They are stocked with massive amounts of brands and products, which I also grab something each time I am there. Singris recommended the lip scrub she uses with her facials. it’s wonderful! And they have one of my favorite skin lines –Dermologica — there at really reasonable prices.
All in all, A++++, 110%, 10 stars, etc. etc. Go visit this hidden gem in Beverly Hills! :)

Great place to do brunch! I ordered the southern fried chicken which was incredible. I’ll definitely be back at this spot when/​if I’m back in town!
Tip:
–parking in this area can be very frustrating. I recommend using the valet service they have (they work solely on tips).

My only regret is that I did not write a review earlier than today. First of all I have been seeing Singris for about 2 years now. I used to be one of those moochers that would shop around for a bargain facial on groupon. Really what I was looking for was the one person/​place that would impress me enough to stay loyal to them because they knew what they were doing. It was love at first facial with Singris! This girl KNOWS how to give a facial. On top of that… HER PRICES CANNOT BE BEAT!!! This is the BEST bang for your buck and then some! No need to ask for a better deal cause this is as cheap as it gets with the highest quality. If you want a GOOD extraction… Singris is your chick! My face has NEVER looked better. Parking is easy cause you can park in the 2 hour FREE parking lot across the street. I almost don’t want to tell everyone my secret but I fear that if I don’t, Singris might move on and I lose her… and that would be a crying shame.
Then there’s the owner of the store who is honest and just a very nice woman. I buy something from her every time I go. Her products are high quality and I always find something I need there. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

This is my first Unilocal review and I really dont go out of my way talking smack BUT this experience has been awful. I never got treatment. I had bought a Groupon that had expired, that being said my value hadnt expired and as per Groupon they are supposed to honor my 218 dollars paid. Well instead of just doing that and giving me one facial for the amount they tried to rope me in to using the amount for 4 separate treatmeants leaving me to pay a 145 dollar balance EACH time. She wouldnt budge. saying thats the deal! Nowhere does it state that thats the deal so thats a clear rip off .
To be clear I didnt want the Groupon deal since I knew it had expired just wanted them to honor my value without trying to rip me off and have me come back 4 times only to pay them a 580 dollar amount on top of what I already paid.
Thanks to Groupon for having amazing customer service gave me credit for that amount to spend on a better business.

Singris is pretty amazing on those facials. Not a bad deal, especially with the Unilocal deal.
My favorite thing was she recommended a great moisturizer for me and it’s kept my skin in good shape for over a month, keeping up the work she did in the facial. Will definitely be back. The shop is pretty pricey but Singris is worth it!

It is absolutely unreal… thats all I can say about my hair. I came in to see Michael after a hair disaster where my hair would not, could not, hold a press or flat iron. He took his time doing the Brazilian Blowout, and did a beautiful job on my thick (an understatement), super curly hair. We discussed all the steps, my concerns and needs, and I felt that he and the salon were VERY accommodating. I washed my hair today, and I don’t even recognize it. Its completely different, in a good way. I can say that my expectations were exceeded. I have a loose curl that is very easy to maintain. Thanks to a wonderful treatment, I’m actually looking forward to taking care of my hair :)

MIchael is a wonderful hairdresser and I am completely satisfied with the treatment. Thank you!

Michael James is a FANTASTIC stylist! He cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I was SO nervous coming in. It had been about 7 months since my last cut and I needed about 4 inches off. I got the Groupon (my first time with that, too) and was able to use it right away. Michael immediately made me feel comfortable and he truly listened to the style I want.
I am so happy with my cut and I am so happy I have found a hairdresser who is caring and is amazing at what they do. Honestly, he really took the time even after the blowout to perfect my hair and make it just the way I wanted it! If you are searching for a GREAT (not just good) hairdresser/​hair stylist, go to Michael at Savvy The Beauty Apothecary in Beverly Hills.
Oh, and bring change for the meter. I usually get my hair done within an hour, but he truly took the time to make sure my hair looked fantastic, so I had to run out and put in another quarter for the meter! He was so sweet about me running in and out! Oh, I think the meters take credit cards, too. Overall a great experience!

Very nice quaint apothecary with amazing customer service. Love that they carry everything from Jane Iredale cosmetics, to Lash Royalty lashes, and also OPI polishes. Definitely a one-​stop-​shop kind of place.
Everyone there is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products.

Recently visited Michael at Savvy after finding him through Unilocal and decided to give the Brazilian blowout another chance.
One word: AMAZING
Michael took the time to really listen to what I didn’t like when I had the blowout done previously and what my hair goals are. He gave me some amazing tips as well. He really seems to focus on wanting to give you healthy and beautiful hair (and recommended that I even avoid hi-​lights for some time). He is easy going and not pretentious. And above all else, a true professional (I witnessed him handling a difficult potential client and he behaved so incredibly well)… My hair is completely glad that I found him.

Quickest way to landing your prince charming = facials from Singirs! Seriously, get that princess-​y glow in an hr with a nice lil shoulder massage.
She’s amazing, really knows her stuff, undertanding, calm, and just awesome. I got compliments the entire week after my first!
She does a full facial for $ 70 – 80 but a quickie fix acne one for $ 45. The full includes an AMAZING neck and shoulder massage that frankly is as good as any massage you’d get at a spa.
LOVE coming here! Self-​love time. No, not that way.
The store itself is also great. The owner (i dont know her name, super sweet lady) is so knowledgeable about all her different products and what they can do for you. I’ve asked her make-​up tips, what brushes are best, colors for my skin, etc. She’s so so awesome!
Love this place and would recommend highly to anyone for a facial or for beauty products!

I had a facial with Singris, and she was FABULOUS. Really knowledgeable, very calm, thorough, and professional. Did a great job, and I left feeling really refreshed. The neck/​shoulder massage gets 6 stars.
I also had a wash/​blowout from Michael, and he was also wonderful. Very friendly, quick (took about 30 minutes from start to finish), and my hair looked wonderful!!! Best of all, he used a memory hairspray, so even after sleeping on my hair, it looked equally as good after a quick brush the next morning. HIGHLY recommend!

Fabulous Brazilian Blowout!!!
Just left this great salon and I now have shampoo commercial hair!
They did a perfect job, and it took an hour less than normal.
Cannot stop touching my hair!!! I think I should take this hair out on the town tonight…
Thank you Paul!
