Damōne Roberts

Damōne Roberts operates a flagship salon in Beverly Hills, which opened in 2002, and a Fifth Avenue location in New York that followed in 2009. According to the business, its eyebrow work has won top honours from several publications, including Vogue, The New York Times, the LA Times, Allure, People, InStyle, US Weekly and USA Today, and it has been voted the best by Yelp and City Search. These are the salon's own claims.

Brow sculpting is the core of the salon, led by founder Damōne Roberts, who is known as the Eyebrow King. Each visit starts with a consultation on your daily routine, brow goals, facial features, upkeep and any past brow trauma. The brow staff, called Archisans, are trained by him in shaping the arch. A first visit with him is 30 minutes and starts at $200, and a returning visit is 15 minutes for $90. With lead Archisan Sarah a visit is 30 minutes, $70 the first time and $60 after. With Archisan Ashley it is 30 minutes, $55 the first time and $45 after. Brow Tint darkens brow hairs one to two shades, lasts three to four weeks and is added during your appointment without a separate booking. Brow Lamination lifts and sets brow hairs for about four to six weeks; it takes one hour, costs $150, and includes sculpting when booked with Sarah Abikzer.

Lash services cover lifts, tints, extensions and maintenance. A Korean lash lift takes one hour and costs $175, or $200 with tinting, and a classic lash lift costs $125 and lasts six to eight weeks. Lash tint is $35. Extensions are matched to the natural lash line: Demure Set suits a naturally full line (1.5 hours, $250), Luxe Volume suits a thinner or sparse line (2 hours, $300), Bombshell Volume takes 2.5 hours and costs $350, and Signature Beauty Medium Method takes 3 hours at $450 using imported human hair fibers. Lash Boost Fills are recommended every two to three weeks, at $100 for single, $150 for plus and $200 for double; a fill needs at least 40% of previous extensions intact, otherwise a full set is booked. Extension removal takes 30 minutes with a creme gel remover and costs $75. Work done by another artist is removed and replaced with a full set, depending on the condition of the natural lashes. Weekend Lash is a temporary cluster-lash option lasting about one to three days, 30 minutes for $65.

Facial waxing is quick. Full face waxing (lip, chin, cheeks and sideburns) costs $60 and takes 15 minutes; lip is $15, neck $20, ears $25 and sideburns $25. Lip, nose, ear and forehead waxing needs no booking; you tell your Archisan once in the chair. D·R On The Go takes brow, lash and facial waxing services to a home, hotel or other location, which the business describes as LA's premiere mobile beauty service. Client reviews on the site describe the salon as welcoming with an uplifting atmosphere and easy parking. The lot on the property charges $3 every 15 minutes; validated parking at the neighboring Neiman Marcus is suggested instead. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 12pm to 5pm, closed Mondays. Cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours' notice, and later notice is charged at 100% of the reserved services. Phone 310.271.2100.

The brand's guiding idea is that every face deserves the perfect frame.

Brow work is shaped to each client's face, with the aim of helping every client find a signature shape that stays their own. Extensions and lash services are chosen around the natural lash line.

The salon aims to give clients a sense of wellness and inspiration alongside brow and beauty services.
