Adir Abergel: Celebrity Hair Stylist

Celebrity Tress-Master Tells Us What's On His A-List

ELAINE SAYS: What do Sienna Miller, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Beil have in common? Thazzright....Adir. He has an undeniably impressive client-list of well-known women with some seriously pretty hair. What you may not know, is that he was once also a member of the American Ballet Theater in New York City (see photo to the left, where he redefines the expression, "scissor happy"!!!). Today, you can find him at Fekkai on Melrose Place, where he very occasionally, is available for cuts. But generally, his time is now spent making red carpets and mag covers sparkle.

Collections

Good Scents: LeLabo Fragrances VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION:8385 West Third Street Los Angeles [3rd St]For Scents there is one place that I can spend the whole day playing with combinations and buying candles for friends. The name is LeLabo. Their fragrances are so special and unique. They make the fragrance right there in front of you and they customize the label to your liking. I was first introduced to LeLabo at the Gramercy Park Hotel where LeLabo made a scented candle specially for them. It was my obsession and since then I have been a loyal client.
The Best Tresses: Byron and Tracey Salon VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION:9294 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills From blowouts to color to makeup to eyebrows, this is where I send my clients. Everyone in there is talented and I especially love Tracey Cunningham for color. It can be super busy and intimidating at times with every star you know walking thru but be yourself and enjoy the ride.
Clothes With A Past: The Way We Wore Vintage VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: 334 S La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles [Labrea]Amazing vintage clothing and the best collection of 20's, 30's and 40's with an eye for Vintage Japanese designers. The owner Doris Raymond is awesome, she has such an incredible eye for the best vintage pieces. I can go into her store and lose my mind for days. The amazing array of clothes never stop and if you have something in mind I can guarantee that Doris will find it with some time.
Glute Camp: Trainer, Christopher Yackley VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: A Tighter U 10854 Washington Boulevard, Culver CityThis gym is easy and unpretentious and right down the street from where I live in Culver City. I joined this gym because it had a program called 3 on 1 where you and three others train with Chris for an hour. Each person has a personalized workout that at the end you are hurting, promise. It only costs $35 for the hour and you really get an awesome workout with Chris. I try and do 4 times a week and if I dont go in I try and take a dance class instead.
Friends With Benefits: Frends Beauty Supply VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION:5270 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, North Hollywood, [noho]This is my favorite beauty supply store in Los Angeles. From my favorite hair pins that are imported from Germany to my favorite round brushes from Japan to every hair product you can think of to the best tools in any store. You can go in there for one thing and come back with $1000 worth of products. Believe me you will love it if you are a product junky.
Give It To Me Straight: The Brazillian Blowout VISIT WEBSITE This revolutionized the hair care world. Women with frizzy unruly hair were now able to go to humid cities and not wear a hat and cut down their time of styling by half. This stuff is awesome. I have a lot of friends who have trouble with their frizzy fros, so I send them to Andy Lecompte Salon for this treatment. Once this awesome product hits their heads they have shiny sexy wavy hair. I am a huge advocate of helping texture when you can.
Art Start: Regan Projects VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: 9016 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles [Weho]This is one of my favorite galleries in Los Angeles, the owner Shawn Caley Regen has such an incredible list of artists that show at her gallery. She has the best crew of curators who work with her. Heather Harmon can give you an entire history class on art if you have the time and are interested enough. The image below is a unique piece from Wolfgang Tillmans that I had purchased from the gallery. They put on such amazing inspiring shows that you must check out.
Grab Hold: Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray VISIT WEBSITE| LOCATION: 8457 Melrose Place, Los Angeles [PDC]I can live without allot of products but this is my secret weapon for every style. This flexible workable sheer hairspray can lock in a style for all night hold or be brushed out all day from style to style on a fashion shoot. I seriously cannot live without this product in my hair-kit.
Sexy Supper: Gjelina Restaurant VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION:1429 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice [Abbot Kinney]This restaurant can make you cry its so good, a headache to get a reservation but once you get here I end up running into everyone I work with. This is a great atmosphere with great food and beautiful people to look at. The chef is handsome, sweet and knows how to put a menu together. While the best dish is people watching, I almost always start off with the grilled nectarines & burrata, which comes out as a rustic little platter with blobs of rich burrata, sweet nectarines, and huge curls of prosciutto and I then follow it by ordering their best pizza, DUCK SAUSAGE PIZZA .
Crazy Good in K-town: Natura Spa VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION:3240 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles [Koreatown]If you want to escape and get so relaxed this place is heaven. I try and go on a weekly basis to this place. It is so clean and between the facility, and the scrubs and acupuncture and massages I come out a new man. Its for both men and women using separate facilities but its a nice way to go with a bunch of friends and relax.
