BRADLEY CRANE, DON GONZALEZ and CHEUNG NG are all virtuosos with the scissors, truly. I wouldn’t trust anyone else, and haven’t, for many years. I always leave their chairs feeling my cut looks modern, sophisticated, and easy to maintain.

RITA LEANIO is a hair colorist extraordinaire. Since my first visit more than a 15 years ago, I’ve been thrilled with the look of my color. Rita is incredibly knowledgeable about color and always considers your lifestyle, maintenance, and personal needs when designing a color plan. For more about Rita visit Elan Hair Salon and book online at ritaleanio.genbook.com.

THAO PHAN gives the best manicures and pedicures in the City, hands down. Even better, she’ll come right to your home to do it if you come by way of referral. How wonderful is that? Thao specializes in traditional European manicures and pedicures, with all the luxuries you would expect from an in-spa treatment – a warm soak, nail maintenance, exfoliation, massage, and impeccably applied color that really lasts. To book an appointment, contact Thao at (415) 756-6190 or send her an e-mail at mobilenailsbythao@gmail.com.

MAHROO at Spa Radiance is my favorite facialist. Most people mistake me for a much younger woman, and I owe a large part of that to Mahroo. She knows how to diagnose exactly what your skin needs, and tailors a facial treatment specifically for you. She will advise you about skincare products and the best way to take care of your particular skin needs. And, best of all, she’s an absolute delight to work with. To book an appointment with Mahroo, visit the Spa Radiance Website at sparadiance.com or call (415) 346-6281.

Does your makeup wardrobe need an update too? KIM JOHNSON at Chanel Cosmetics in Neiman Marcus is my go-to makeup artist. Kim will do for your makeup what I do for your wardrobe — assess, edit, discuss lifestyle and time constraints, then design a ‘makeup wardrobe’ specifically tailored to your needs. She’s is one of the best in the business. And I say that with confidence, I’ve worked with her for over 20 years. To book an appointment, call or text Kim directly at (415) 203-1643.

Don’t trust your pieces to anyone but the best tailor or seamstress, here are my favorites

• Vladimir Vladimirov at Executive Tailored Clothes for women’s and men’s high-end tailoring.

• Reid’s Tailoring for the basics like hems on skirts, dresses, pants, and minor repairs.

• Marco at Oxford Tailor for refined European men’s tailoring.

Here’s a list of essential items for every organized closet:

• Huggable Hangers by Joy Mangano for no-slip hangers that create more space.

• The Laundress Classic Drawer Liners to keep your drawers and shelves deliciously fresh.

• Cedar Blocks and The Laundress Wool + Cashmere Spray to protect against moths.

• Damp Rid to absorb moisture, especially here in the foggy Bay Area.

• Cotton Storage Bags for your seasonal wardrobe or treasured item storage needs.

Proper care will extend the life of your favorite pieces. Here are my top recommendations.

• The Laundress everything, seriously! From delicates and cashmere care, to everyday laundry needs, theirs are my go to products. Trust me, you’ll never go back to mass market brands.

• Evercare Fabric Shaver or Gleener Fuzz Remover for de-piling your cashmere and woolen knits.
