Mauro Hair Studio handles about 20 plastic surgery patients per month
from Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery and several other clinics around Los
Angeles. For $125 patrons can buy a consultation on what hairstyle will
look best with their new face or chest, and for another $100, they can
get a hair cut.
There are additional charges for dyeing and products. "Say you have
a facelift and you feel 10 years younger. Your hair needs to be updated
too," said salon owner Mauro Spina. "You shouldn't have a facelift and
keep a 1990s hair style."
Often, women who receive breast augmentation are searching for a new
hairstyle as well. "They feel better about themselves, more confident.
Maybe they are swinging their hair more. They were using a lot of hair
spray before and now they don't have to," Spina said. "We make the hairstyle
to move with the body much nicer."
One woman from North Carolina who asked not to be named came to Beverly
Hills for a nose job last year. She decided to partake of some of the
extras Beverly Hills offers, including hair styling, while she was here.
"I asked the plastic surgery office for a referral for a salon, and
they recommended B2B," she said. "My daughter lives in the area and
she goes there now." In total, the woman estimates that she spent about
$24,000 on her trip.
