“Summers aren’t bad! It’s a dry heat.” This is the classic phrase Phoenicians usually say BEFORE summer starts.
While the Valley may not get dark and gloomy winters like Northern and Midwestern states, the scorching heat that bakes cookies or fries’ eggs on the pavement isn’t ideal for going out with friends. Even hanging out by the poolside can result in an instant sunburn. (PSA: please wear sunscreen!)
Those summer blues are a bummer when you’re stuck inside all day. Here are some ways to indulge in a little self-care Downtown to combat the “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” mood.
This Downtown classic is known for its color expertise and extensive collection of Aveda products. In addition to everything hair, Perry Monge is a full-service salon that offers facials, waxing, makeup, and nail services. So, you can have a full day of indulgence at this Cityscape retreat.
