Hollywood's 30 Best Beauty Secrets

Waxers
3) WHO: Nance Mitchell

TITLE: Waxer Philosophic
WHAT: A no-nonsense Hollywood standby, Mitchell is best known for her creative ways to showcase the hair down there: She's done bikini waxes in the shape of everything from initials and arrows to Mercedes, Gucci and Louis Vuitton symbols.
CELEBRITY CLIENTELE: Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Capshaw, Winona Ryder, Naomi Campbell, Kate Hudson, Christina Aguilera
CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT: "I was recently at a party at Quincy Jones's house and suddenly found myself surrounded by five different men who all said that they were 'appreciators' of my work," she chortles.
SECRET WEAPON: Homemade wax keeps pain at a minimum and a steady hand and eye keep her work even. "Gwyneth and I will joke about how when she comes to me, the hair is never going North or South, it's always right in the center," Mitchell reveals.
BUT CAN YOU GET IN? Probably. Workaholic Mitchell has been known to work until midnight to keep her beauties hairless, though prices are fairly steep ($60 for a basic bikini wax, $200 and up for a special design).

4) WHO: Anastasia (Soare)

TITLE: Browbeater
WHAT: Ground zero for the best-shaped eyebrow wax in town, Anastasia's salon is so famous among Hollywood elite that she's reached the Madonna and Cher "one name only" height.
CELEBRITY CLIENTELE: Jennifer Lopez, Renee Zellweger, Oprah Winfrey, Penelope Cruz
CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT: Oprah calls Anastasia the "eyebrow queen"; J.Lo doesn't trust her brows to anyone else.
SECRET WEAPON: The Romanian Anastasia's background is in art and technical design -- she considers the process of determining eyebrow shape like "building a house from the blueprint."
BUT CAN YOU GET IN? Well, Anastasia herself is booked about three months in advance ($55 for the first time, $45 for follow-up visits) but she has six less expensive and more available assistants.
