SANTA MONICA—For gals on the go, beauty app Priv is a godsend. In a few clicks, you can schedule services like blowouts, makeup applications, or spray tans to come directly to your home, office, or wherever is most convenient. To give a preview of some of their professional treatments, the company is headed to eco-friendly boutique hotel The Ambrose (1255 20th Street) this Thursday from 4-7pm for an evening of indulgence. To participate, guests need only to download the app in advance and book a complimentary manicure. This entitles you to additional pampering in the tranquil surroundings of the Asian-influenced hotel.
