Hot Girl Summer
Social media has made one thing very clear: It's the start of #HotGirlSummer, which - in Santa Clarita - generally translates to the literal truth that we'll all be dripping in sweat for the next three to six months. Feel hot, not hot, with these beauty finds.

Put Hot Tools in the Hands of a Pro at Blo
The honest truth: We hate blowing out our hair even when it's 48 degrees outside. During the summer, though, the chore becomes a hot, sweaty mess with drippy results. Cue in the beauty geniuses at Blo Out Lounge Valencia who have pro hot tools locked and loaded in their well-air conditioned space.
We opt for their signature style options, customized to our lengths, textures and desires. Whether your vibe is girly curly, beachy beauty or sleek and straight for that date, your signature style includes a luxurious wash and customized blowout.
Strands need some TLC? Opt for a treatment like Blo's keratin treatment that will have your locks rocking incredible shine for three to six months; a resurface treatment to repair split ends and boost your hair's resilience; customized hair mask; or toner shot for a boost to your color.
A blow at Blo doesn't have to be a "once and go." Lots of ladies - and some gents - invest in their monthly membership to keep costs low and style high. Get four services a month for $165, plus score 10 percent off all beauty products and a free service during your birthday month.

Get Semi-permanent Brows that Wow in the Water
Our nightmare: We slink into the pool like the mer-god/goddesses we are and drop beneath the surface. Our swimmates await for us to break the tension of the water and - when we finally rise like a phoenix - our brow makeup is running down our face.
We're a mermaid-swamp monster hybrid.
Fantasy? Sure. But the truth isn't that far off, which is why we're hooked on microblading.
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup service that tattoos the upper layer of your skin with thin, hair-like strokes to make it appear like you have a fuller, fluffier eyebrow. With precise shaping informed by your facial features and preference, the look is natural - and gorgeous. With a proper healing plan and six-to-eight week touch up, your brows will last 12 to 18 months and can be touched up annually. Right now, save $150.
