KEEP THE BUGS AT BAY
August marks the start of a new school year, but many kids will end up bringing home more than just homework. Head lice, those highly contagious, icky little critters, strike more than 6 million kids a year and are most often spread at school. A new shampoo and conditioner duo called Lice-Free Zone from Circle of Friends actually helps prevent lice in the first place by repelling them with such proven lice-deterring ingredients as tea tree and andiroba. Keep some on hand at your salon so that you're prepared when a head lice outbreak hits your community. circle-of-friends.com —C.W.

HOLLYWOOD LAND

Los Angeles is a high-profile retail market year-round. The temperate climate, constant flood of tourists and bevy of celebrities make it a mecca for flagships. It's become one of the hottest locales for retailers and luxe labels that aspire to create cutting-edge prototypes, shopping experiences and facades.
