Dermatologist
Jamie MacDougall
Dr. Jamie MacDougall is a repeat Best of the Beach winner as the best dermatologist in
the South Bay. His patients also rate him highly on such sites as Yelp and
Doctor.WebMD.com. They are consistent in the specifics of their praise: MacDougall is experienced,
extremely knowledgeable, no-nonsense, and amiable.
“Years ago my smart wife told me to make an appointment with Dr. Jamie,” wrote a patient
named Peter who traveled from Carlsbad to MacDougall’s Manhattan Beach office because
of the doctor’s reputation. “I had a thing on my nose I wasn't sure about and my
mom has skin cancer history. Well, it was a blessing to find him because I had a basal cell
cancer and he found it. Since then, I go twice a year and he takes out the ‘blowtorch’ to
keep me in good skin health. He cares, he's smart plus we laugh. And talk about other stuff
than just medicine. He is a modest, fantastic doctor...If you're looking for a dermatologist,
give Dr. Jamie a call and you'll be in very good hands.”
MacDougall, who is affiliated with Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center,
received his medical degree from Keck School of Medicine of USC and has been in practice
for 34 years.

Women’s Hairdresser
James Carmona, Salon del Mar
James Carmona was the final piece in the Salon del Mar puzzle, according to Salon del
Mar partner Stephanie Turner.
“We all like each other, and that’s huge when you’re working in a close space and talking
all day,” Turner said. “I like to joke and say he was the missing link we needed.”
What makes Carmona integral to the salon is the same thing that makes him integral to
his customers. He’s attentive, communicative, unpretentious, and funny,” Turner said.
“He’s off the cuff, and he can get away with comments that most of us just could not,”
Turner said. “His presence makes it lighter.”
