AT THE SALON: POMP

With clients like Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Virginia Madsen, Miranda Richardson, Linda Blair and Kristen Davis, uber-stylist Kevin Josephson (formerly of Frederic Fekkai) holds court at Santa Monica’s phenomenal beauty salon where the pampering gets Oscar-worthy. 

Pomp’s owner and colorist Lisa Dixon says, “As hairstylists, I believe we have a great opportunity to enrich people’s lives on many levels – not only fulfilling their personal beauty needs but also by ensuring that they feel transformed in a powerful way.”  More than just a hair Mecca, Pomp also offers facials, massage, waxing, manicure, and even reflexology services to achieve this transformation.  Dixon has genuine warmth, putting clients at immediate ease.  “Nicole may have just left this seat but you’re just as special!” her smile seems to impart. 

The salon is sleek but simple and unpretentious, proving itself not through superficial décor but through sheer ability and results.  While getting your hair colored, Dené can give you a manicure or her famous hand massage using avocado oil with lipids and citrus oil.  A rinse is not just a rinse when you sit in the massaging chair and a peppermint treatment rejuvenates color-treated hair.  And once Dixon is done working magic on your hair, all the time keeping you in the engrossing folds of conversation, you’ll feel you have every right to feel, well, pompous.
