Sterling Beauty Supply

Sterling Beauty Supply, 5810 West Adams Blvd., L.A.

I often frequent Sterling Beauty Supply in Los Angeles.  It's just off Fairfax Avenue, hidden near the Santa Monica Freeway underpass.  I always find what I'm looking for and more in this funky shrine to beauty. 

In addition to hair supplies and cosmetics, Sterling houses a wealth of costume jewelry, hats, scarves and WIGS, of course!

Everyone is welcome at Sterling....even Martians (center)

Nothing has changed much architecturally on this stretch of Adams in 50 years.  Just around the corner from the beauty supply shop there is an old metal Quonset hut and a Signal Oil Gas sign. One block east of Sterling is J & J Burger & BBQ....excellent!
