Donna Beauty

A Highly Idiosyncratic Guide to Dallas Beauty

These are Donna World recommendations, based on my personal experience, or on a few occasions, my friends’ recommendations.

Facials

Connie at Sweet 200
738 Davis Street, Dallas TX 75208
214-941-3300
Connie is the real deal – professional, thoughtful, kind, and gentle. Renowned for her waxing. Almost pain free.

Rena at Rena Levi Salon
5840 Alpha Road, Dallas, TX 75240-1118
972-661-5701
Rena gives fabulous facials, and she has developed her own line of skincare products. I’m especially fond of the Bamboo Exfoliating Cleanser.

Hair

Todd at SalonGossip
4113 Rawlins St, Dallas, TX 75219
214-559-3337
Hair can make or break your look. So, a professional and best-of-all talented, even visionary hairdresser is key. So is having a friend who will spend hours flat-ironing your hair. You have to find your own friend, though. I’m not sharing. For hairdressers, Todd is the best!!!!!  He landed me a photo in TV Guide years ago. I had Star Trek hair.

Floyd’s Barber Shop
3636 McKinney Ave., #140, Dallas, TX 75204
214-219-4500
My sons’ hair looks good. Plus, they rescued one of my sons from the worst buzz cut accident. He left happy. Recommendations don’t come better than that.

Clive & Co.
5301 Alpha Rd, #46, Dallas, TX 75240
(972) 934-0500
Super retro updos by Britanny left me feeling like a 50s movie star!

Make-Up

Bryce at Barney’s NorthPark, T. LeClerc counter
8687 N. Central Expy., Dallas, TX 75225
469-221-4700
I hate foundation. Can’t stand that thick, made-up look. Plus, I have oily skin, so everything starts to shine in seconds. Bryce knows make-up, and I always look my best after he’s finished. Plus, sometimes they’ll bring you a glass of champagne. Yea!

Nails

Beauty Times
11929 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75230-2710
972-960-6245

Perfume

Anything by Serge Luten, my favorite is Datura noir. Available locally at Barney’s at NorthPark or you can buy online.
