Their infamous esthetician Nerida Joy “was named one of the nations ‘Top 15 Facialists’ with clients including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jennifer Garner, Tyra Banks, Kate Beckinsdale, and Isla Fisher.” I also fell in love with Rhonda who did the most amazing scrub on my legs and Jojo, who did a beautiful last minute manicure (yes, I tried everything, including the oysters and wine!) It was a fun evening and a great way to start the night, which ended at Levi’s Haus for a party with The National to celebrate their new documentary “Mistaken for Strangers,” which I am dying to see and missed the screening of last night.
