You’ve got to respect a beauty doyenne who plays her client list close to the vest and lets her services do the talking. To wit, Joanna Vargas (above), about whose fanatical Hollywood following nothing will ever be said other than that every time Vargas and her team decamp to L.A., appointments for her signature Triple Crown Facial go about as fast as the daily reservations at Momofuku. (The especially addicted, meanwhile, have been known to fly to New York just to visit Vargas in her studiously private salon in Midtown.) Everything about Vargas is quiet, in fact—this is a facialist who can make the Triple Crown’s series of diamond peel, microcurrent, and oxygen treatments go down like a lullaby—but when it comes to the latest weapon in her arsenal of instant fixes, she’s finally naming names.
Vargas is currently the exclusive U.S. supplier of Il ā, England’s all-organic cult skincare line, and she’s willing to admit that she got turned on to the brand by Madonna. Sort of. “A client of mine goes to Madonna’s gym in London,” Vargas explains, “and one day, she saw some products sticking out of her bag….” Naturally, said client did a little snooping, and once she had the Il ā name in hand, called Vargas so that she could investigate further. “They’re the most amazingly potent antiaging products I’ve ever worked with,” Vargas says. “Madonna definitely knows what she’s doing.” For more information, see www.joannavargas.com.
