W Magazine revealed that Angela from The Hair Grove, in chi chi West Lake Village, outside of LA, is the hair genius responsible for arranging Sarah's artfullly-casual-yet-sprayed-within-an-inch-of-its-life elaborate JBF french braid.

It's such an interesting style choice: big wedding hair for an important presentation at the office. Add a couple of sprigs of baby's breath and she can wear this to Bristol's wedding!

Crisp featured Cindy McCain is also a fan of The Hair Grove. The Yelp! reviews say the salon does good color, is a bit pricey, and the girls have a heavy hand with the hairspray, which is totally what we would have guessed.

Following up on the tip from W, we called The Hair Grove (such a folksy name! Sarah musta felt right at home!) to ask a couple of "Get The Look" questions.

Sadly, we can't get into Angela's chair until November, because she's traveling with Sarah. However, there are other stylists at The Hair Grove, who can fit us in sooner.

A basic up do starts at $80, and can take an hour, to an hour and a half. Copying Sarah's cinnamon highlights will start at $95, depending on how many foils the stylist sticks in your hair. That's not so expensive! Even with travel expenses, we think Sarah's beauty regime sound cheaper than John McCain's make up habit!

When we asked if the receptionist at The Hair Grove if they're voting for Sarah, she just laughed and said "Yeah, we have some stylists working with them."

We're not sure who else is on the road with Sarah, but the salon also does waxing, so pehaps Sarah brought someone along to take care of nether-scaping. That Todd Palin always looks pretty happy!
