  A beautician to the stars has been arrested on suspicion of ripping off her celebrity clients.

  Salon owner Maria Gabriella Perez is accused of taking credit card information from clients like actress Liv Tyler and ringing up hundreds of thousands of dollars in bogus charges.

  Secret service agents arrested the 51-year-old at her Beverly Hills business, Chez Gabriela Studio, today.

  Perez, whose website lists Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz amongst her A-list clientele, is accused of 'fraudulently [charging] approximately $280,000 worth of charges in a one year period'.

  According to an affidavit filed in the United States District Court, the beautician swindled around $214,000 from Tyler alone over a five-month period last year.

  Another alleged victim is jewellery designer Loree Rodkin, whose attorney told investigators that about $68,000 had been charged to her credit card from Perez's studio without her authorization.
