Face Off

No-frills facials for those on the go is filling a niche for clients who want a full service facial quickly and at a lower price. Face Haus opened in Studio City at the end of last year, offering multi-step 30 minute facials such as De-Pimp My Ride– getting rid of dirt, Baby Face– getting rid of wrinkles, and Lighten Up– getting rid of sun damage, which all start at $45. Hollywood producers Jenn Worley, Karey Burke, and Dawn Olmstead founded Face Haus and teamed up with Dr. Harold Lancer, the A-list Beverly Hills dermatologist who counts Burke and Worley as clients – along with Beyonce, Oprah, Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson and a host of other celebrities who grace the covers of glossy magazines.

The vibe is relaxing and the space is decorated in a neutral palette with sleek, Scandinavian furnishings, fun neon signs and a glittery wall mural by local street artist Becca Midwood. Licensed aestheticians get straight to the point of cleaning the skin where the menu also includes facials designed for teen girls, teen boys, kids, men, mature skin and uneven pigmentation, as well as an oxygen facial, a peel, and a facial featuring only organic products. Lancer has signed on as consulting dermatologist where his role oversees development of services and training and serves as a medical backup. Creating facials for the people, Face Haus is slated to open on Third Street in West Hollywood any minute, as well as plans for Santa Monica and expansion to other cities such as New York. www.thefacehaus.com
