Spa Spooktacular

Before frantically checking your go-to Youtuber for last-minute Halloween-inspired make-up which—let’s be honest—could go horrifyingly wrong, check out the Ritz-Carlton’s Spa Spooktacular. For those die-hard Halloween fanatics trying to win best costume or scare the candy out of people, set up an appointment with some of Hollywood’s best special effect makeup artists. Offered on Friday, Oct 31 and Saturday, Nov 1, guests can reserve a special effects express service starting at $30, which includes everything from fang bites and a superhero eye mask to a slit throat and half-skeleton face. But for the more adventurous, book a full face transformation starting at $150 and become a wicked witch, grumpy cat, bride of death, or any number of wild characters. In true Halloween spirit, all guests will receive free apple cider and house-baked ginger cookies. Call 213-763-4400 to make an appointment.
