The Streicher sisters also revealed some of their most-precious beauty tips that A-list Hollywood stars use to retain their red carpet glow until the wild after parties. "Use the right products pre-hair or makeup session. [Prep] the skin with a good moisturizer and primer [and use] the right styling products for a look that will stay on pre-and post event, and sometimes even into the next morning," said the sisters.

And it's not just the ladies that get to feel pampered during Oscar season. The Streicher sisters have also groomed Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman and other notable figures. "Light men's grooming is key," the sisters said in regard's to how men can get red-carpet ready. "Sometimes it's just about clear brow gel in the brows, pomade in the hair and a touch of concealer and powder that can go a long way." In addition to a coveted beauty appointment at STRIIIKE salon, the Red Carpet Moment package at L'Ermitage includes a personal stylist to go shopping with you down Rodeo Drive in a chauffeured Maserati. And, of course, you'll get to stay in one of the hotel's luxury suites.

For a limited time during Oscar season, hotel spas are also letting guests in on some Hollywood-trusted beauty secrets. The Four Seasons Beverly Hills is offering DNA facials, a hyper-scientific treatment that stimulates the skin's natural renewal process to boost collagen production, replenish the supply of enzymes and repair UV damage.

Down the street at SLS Beverly Hills, the hotel's Ciel Spa has just introduced several Intraceuticals oxygen infusion treatments that instantly lift, tone and hydrate the skin. Several A-listers, including Cher, Jessica Biel and Channing Tatum, swear by Intraceuticals. Eva Longoria even said these treatments were a "necessity before every major event." Well, it doesn't get any more major than the Oscars.
