Scandal: Britney gets Buzzed

When Britney Spears hit up a Tarzana, CA salon in 2007 and asked for a buzz cut, the owner of the salon politely declined. Spears went on to buzz her own hair, providing insight into some well respected beauty secrets. Firstly, one should always listen to their stylist. We once had a stylist refuse to give us bangs- seems that curly hair and bags don't usually mix. Secondly, do it yourself may apply to jewelry and sweaters, but DIY hair cuts are a no-no.

So step away from the scissors ladies and head to one of our favorite local salons:

1) Gold Coast: Go to Gina King Mondragon Salon and save on color, cuts, extensions and more.
