Servicing the likes of Steven Spielberg, Brittany Spears, Stevie Nicks, Jane Krakowski, and White Snake, Batia & Aleeza is a cute salon in Beverly Hills that welcomes all (sometimes even walk ins). In my communications, Batia & Aleeza was called a "homey" place... It sounded like a "home away from home" amongst the hardened chic of other Hollywood serving salons. I was pleased, upon entering, to note a distinctive lack of steel as furnishings (as is sometimes over used in other salons). But, with the complete lack of a waiting area (not even a couch), the presence of a cappuccino machine, and the smell of the Archipelago Botanicals candles from a wall sales unit- this "home away from home" looks to be what it is, an upscale salon- not home. Mind you, the dynamic in there was smooth. These people all seem to enjoy their work. And they all are nice people (no hair snobs, if you know what I mean).

Batia & Aleeza are 2 sisters who have been working together for over 35 years. They are the best of friends. Aleeza started cutting hair at only 13 years of age while living in Isreal.. By 1971, she had her first successful shop. At age 26, she braved a move to America. Where she worked first for a salon opened by someone else, then opened the first Batia & Aleeza on Santa Monica Blvd. with her sister. Later, the salon was moved to its current location.

It's a pretty salon, and, looking at the customers leaving, a group of talent lies within. The salon services men, women, and children. They work with all kinds of hair, but the in house specialty is curly hair (look at the pic of the owners at the bottom & you'll see why). You can get your hair cut, styled, dyed (with natural henna), highlighted, low lighted, or even treated with their special recipe Mediterranean Olive Oil Treatment. There are also manicure, pedicure, & massage service offered (see link below for prices & services). The makeup used for by their makeup artist is Il Makiage.

Parking in Beverly Hills on any day is no east feat. But, there is a free lot across the street from the salon. Use it. Enjoy your trip to Batia & Aleeza.
