Beauty OR THE beast?

DAWN DALUISE HAD A REPUTATION FOR GIVING FACIALS TO DIE FOR, UNTIL A DEADLY PLOT PUT HER ON HOLLYWOOD'S KILL LIST

There was no-one the Los Angeles A-list trusted more with their precious faces in the early 2010s than Dawn DaLuise, with celebrities regularly breezing through the doors of her West Hollywood salon until an ugly scandal left her reputation in tatters.

The esthetician, then 55, was arrested in 2014 after authorities accused her of ordering a hit on a competitor. DaLuise spent over 10 months in prison awaiting trial, before a jury found her not guilty after just 40 minutes.

“The miscarriage of justice is insane and overwhelming,” she told People magazine. “My life is decimated. [Authorities] shot first and asked questions later.”

Best-known for her signature galvanic facials, which used small electrical currents to help beauty products penetrate the skin, DaLuise's reputation as the woman behind Jennifer Aniston's glow helped her launch a skincare line. Business was going great until Gabriel Suarez planned to open his Smooth Cheeks spa in the same building as her Skin Refinery Salon in 2013. The pair got into an altercation over the noise as he renovated his space.
