Iconic Beverly Hills and Brentwood salon, Juan Juan, is dedicated to giving back and is doing so during the month of October to support Breast Cancer Awareness and Research. As a proud sponsor of Susan G. Komen, Juan Juan will be donating 10% of all sales for the entire month of October.
About the Salon:
Ownership Team Sean Jahanbigloo with wife Jennifer and sister Elie took over Juan Juan with the intention of providing it’s clientele with the best and latest in haircuts, styling and coloring while keeping the image of the Salon low key amist the extensive celebrity clientele. Although the Salon maintains a client list that would impress any starseeker, the trio strive to fulfill the needs of their everyday clientele which they believe are the most important. The Juan Juan team is thrilled to get involved in this cause and make your treatments extend to helping others this month.
Celebrity clients include: Claire Danes, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock and January Jones.
Out of the zillions of complicated hair styling products out there, we’ve found one that stands out for its brilliant simplicity. Even its name—PRODUCT—is no-nonsense. This versatile pomade has just five dreamy ingredients: organic shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax, vitamin E and tangerine oil, and a little goes a long way to taming the frizzies and adding texture and shine to all kinds of hair, from fine to coarse. After quenching my super dry ends, I simply massaged the rest into my hands and cuticles, and voila! I left the house with soft mitts and great looking hair. In true MacGyver style, it also multi-tasks as a luxurious lip and under eye balm. Just slip the dainty 1.5 oz. jar into your purse and you’ll be armed with the perfect antidote to dry fall and winter days. PRODUCT is more proof that big things come in small packages.
$14 FOR 1.5 OZ.

Who knew the Sunset Tower's ARGYLE SPA was such a cool spot?! (Not to mention the hotel! Seriously old world Hollywood glam. I am taking my hubby there on our next date night for cocktails on the roof.)
The spa is actually the home of the Brazilian Blowout and they do everything here from full on med-spa services to Acupuncture to hair, to mani-pedi's, waxing, tanning, and the list goes on!
But what really made me ecstatic was that when you book a massage, along with it, you get an INSANE private session in their fabulous marble Turkish Hammam - literally the most amazing sensual experience I've had in...well...forever. Honestly, you just have to try it to believe it. Press a button and a waterfall runs over your body while you relax in a steam filled room, with water - everywhere.
My therapist, Arianna, was fantastic. This was not your run of the mill homogenized hotel massage (the spa is not owned by the hotel, but a real spa's spa) but rather a deep and in-tuned session by a very educated and aware therapist.
After the session, given in a glorious suite (and I mean classy, crisp stunning) you are offered more time to chill and take a bath in their humunggousss tub that fills up with so much water, it's like being in your own pool (compared to my apt tub, that is). They wont rush you, so take your time and soak it up!
This makes an amazing gift, if you're in need of a cool prezzie for someone, or even better, why not treat yourself to an end-of-summer detox/get ready-for-fall spa day? You're worth it!
For $120, why not make a day out of it?

High end lasers coming to a hood near you!
I recently checked out LaserAway, right on the Sunset Strip, which offers everything from tattoo removal to Botox and IPL's. The place was immaculate, the staff was organized and professional and I was very impressed with the technicians. I decided to try out a skin rejuvenation treatment that is used to decrease pore size and even skin tone. It attaches to the Cynosure Apogee Elite hair removal system. Overall it felt great, but I am not sure about any results after only one treatment. It's sold in packages of 6 for $1200 or $250 for one treatment. The PA who administered is was great.
If you are into laser hair removal and live in the area, say, up on Doheny, this is a perfect spot to try out.

Gorgeous color and cut IN YOUR HOME with celeb stylist ERICA REISS.
I just had the most amazing color of the year - and, are you kidding?... in the comfort of my own (toddler slash infant toy-strewn) home!!
The fabulously talented Erica Reiss has a pedigreed background as a cutter/colorist in demand and how lucky am I (and you too!) to have had her grace my pad with her bag of tricks and spin my gray streaked brown-orange over-processed mop into stunning gold, honey, carmels and blonde. I have the rich, warm sun-kissed Jen Lopez mane that I love. Watch out J-lo, Jew-lo's in the hizzy!
Erica's been known to attract top- models, musicians, actors/actresses* all seeking the best cuts/color in the business and her signature funky, "bed-head" hair. She was the senior stylist at Jonathan Salon West Hollywood where she worked for 17 years until they closed. Her tenure working with Jonathan Antin (you may remember her from the Bravo show "Blowout") has made her an expert in both cutting and coloring and now she's flying solo. She'll pop over to your house and color and cut you AND your entire family. Seriously, I know three families that have her rock out mom, dad and the kids on a fun Sat afternoon. You can also swing over to her place near the Burbank Equestrian Center, but man, there is nothing like a house call, I am telling you. She's like the hair doctor (in fact, she's a wicked color corrector).
*Let's name drop, shall we? Estella Warren, Megan Fox, Charlize Theron, Ellen Degeneres, Vanessa Marcil, Patricia Heaton, Jay Leno/ Personal Cutter- Presently, David Spade, Dave Navarro, Mark McGrath...
I am in love with my hair, finally the blondy blonde highlights that I worship and a perfecto-dusting of dead ends, stunning blow out ( which, btw, she will TEACH you how to do for yourself).
I am getting her in the books now for a monthly root touch up and my hubby is getting a monthly trim too.
Here are her approximate rates - prices vary with or without blow-dry and travel rates are dependent on travel time, destination and all that...Also, fist time clients must come to her home studio first.
Simple, one process $75.
Highlights start at $150.
Cuts $125 for women. Men it depends on detail starting at $60
Email her directly at: reisserica@yahoo.com
Who would I be without my base, lowlights and highlights? Just another graying broad on the block. I've had them all. The best of the best. But now, I really have the best. Thank you Kayla Alpert for introducing me to the hottest colorist in town, a rising star on the color circuit if you will, and my main hair bitch: Dani Hernandez at Byron and Tracey Salon.
His shit rocks. Obviously. Just ask Lindsey or Ellen, who swear by him. Wanna look like you've been taking private surf lessons all summer or been sipping champers at the Hotel du Cap all day? Want that rich, gorgeous honey, golden, chestnuty Jennifer Garner meets caramelly J Lo with a little Gisele in the mix? He was the first to do 'tipping' and started the Ombre craze years ago.
Also, his hand painted, sun-kissed style means you can stretch out your grow-back appointment. The darker the roots the better here. It's very LA and if you want a more traditional, classically highlighted look, he does that too. He is simply a mix-master with color. I've seen his work on blondes and it's brill.
Not to mention he totally annihilated my Jew-frizz with a thermal conditioning treatment. Like Japanese hair straightening without the chemicals or ridic price. I was totally hesitant as I like a little wave and not crazy about a super straight look, but he convinced me my mop needed it and I have never been happier. I wake up and my hair looks like it's been blown out. It's totally crazy! It's been maybe 8 weeks and starting to get a little J-frizzy underneath in the mornings but a quick wash and a little product and it's smooth and shiny again. I suspect I will have to do this again in a few more weeks but now I am totally hooked on flatness. A little wave, no frizz. Heaven. Sexy hair heaven!
Base color starts at $125
Partial Highlights $225 and up
Full Highlights $300 and up
Brazilian Blowout $350 and up
L.A.'s very own, Dani H, is someone to know. In a town full of hairstylists whose dramatic personalities over-shadow their own work, Dani has painstakingly mastered his craft as a premiere hair colorist.
Dani's cutting edge difference is simple: it's in his work. A stickler for detail, his acumen and flair relies on the fine balance of making hair look very natural and sun-kissed. His secret weapon lies within the baliage discipline, a French technique for painting color onto hair. For Dani, It is all about achieving that "flawlessly and effortlessly groomed" look that is vernacular to this uber pro who was originally trained under celebrity hairdresser Corey Powell of the Parlour .

Clients include: Mischa Barton, Kelly Rutherford,Carrie Ann Moss, Ashley Tisdale, Shakira, Patrick Dempsey to name a few..

My low find of the week!
I have a persistent gray hair situation. It grows like weeds. I have to stay away from color for another week as my hair was BURNED in a tragic Brazilian Blowout gone wild scenario two weeks ago.
What to do, what to do?
While at CVS picking up the usual, ya know, diapers, clorox and graham crackers, I notices something in the hair dye dept. - this long thin box of a containing a wand and the words COVER YOUR GRAY. It looked so tacky and horrible but I remembered one colorist once saying to me - just paint it in if you are desperate. So, for $3.99, I figured WTF.
It's brilliant. Totally effen amazing. Not tacky at all. A gorgeous brown, goes on like mascara and it sounds horrible but it's not and it WORKS!! Honestly - it's brill. I must stock up. Got it at CVS on West 3rd/Fairfax.
The box looks a little diff than this.
I had a major hair tragedy two weeks ago. I was invited to get a fancy pants haircut at a new uber chic salon, and let's just say that one thing led to another, and I was given a Brazilian Blowout that burnt my hair. As in Fried. Fucked. Done.
Anyway, I immediately took what was left of my hair and ran to my hair worship goddess Liz Devin at Andy LeCompte Salon. Not only is she a Brazilian Blowout expert but she has been giving me the most sexy, soft, elegant, sexy (did I say that?!) haircuts for the past few years. The only two times I farmed myself out to try another stylist for Groomed LA (only... I would never let any one else touch it if it weren't for journalistic reasons!) - I was back in Liz's chair the next day for her to fix it.
And now, here I was, my once long and sexy waves now looking like Joan Jet. Liz took my fried asymmetrical tresses in her fingers and said, it's burnt. She tried to save what was left by trimming off the parts that looked like electrocuted and did the best to shape my stiff fried helmet. "This ones gonna take a long time to go out. Sorry. And your hair was looking gorgeous!" The tears turned to fury. "How long?" I pleaded. "A long time" is all she said, and she traipsed off in a puff of gorgousness and 9 feet long legginess. She soon returned with Denis. "Denis will fix it. You need a Rejuvenating Keratin Treatment. Stat. It's what I make people do if their hair is too damaged for a Brazilian. And buy a silk pillowcase. " Pencil me in. ASAP!
I kept my hair in an oily ponytail all week until I could get in to see Denis DeSouza, drenching it in serum to keep it from breaking. Turns out that's a huge mistake. Denis said no, no, no! Silicone in the serums dry it out even more!
Thank GOD for Denis (his main thing is as colorist there) - and his amazing treatment that SAVED MY HAIR!! My burnt hair is now soft again and manageable. It doesn't look dead. It's come to life. The treatment uses 8 bottles of Keratin and Collagen (4 each) They are sprayed, in turns, onto the hair, and worked deep into the layers of the hair with a lo-set flat iron.
This treatment is perfection for someone who's hair goes through a lot of processing, coloring, sun, a burnt Brazilian, or hair that is just super dry and needs major repair.
Here are some more deets:
THINK: Locked-in hair repair.
WHAT IT IS: A replenishing, rejuvenating new treatment for distressed tresses.
WHAT IT DOES: Restores Keratin, one of the building blocks of hair, to worn-out locks. Hair is composed of overlapping layers of cuticles that progressively deteriorate with continued exposure to harsh ingredients. When hair is exposed to any chemical—from straightening formulas to coloring systems—the cuticle is the most vulnerable. A damaged cuticle compromises hair’s natural barrier: it lets out vital nutrients and invites in dryness and split ends. When hair lacks elasticity and strength, Keratin can be added to repair damaged areas and rebuild internal structures.
HOW IT DOES IT: Denis De Souza’s state-of-the-art Keratin Rejuvenation Treatment applications come in three different molecular weights, each a special building block of the hair:
CMC—When hair becomes weakened and dehydrated, it loses CMC, an oil-based ingredient in the hair. Adding CMC enables dehydrated and distressed hair to retain moisture and lock in the necessary Keratin.
Collagen—In the same way it adds strength and elasticity to skin cells, Collagen pumps up hair by creating a veil on the cuticle’s surface that locks in moisture, adds softness, and deters frizz.
Silk Proteins and Aloe Extract—These gentle ingredients join Collagen in forming an even veil of protection on the hair’s cuticle, adding shine and resistance. Silk Proteins and Aloe Extract also protect the hair from daily stresses like thermal styling, UV light and brush friction.
THE PROCESS: The luxurious deep conditioning treatment provides immediate long-lasting results. In just 30-45 minutes (depending on hair length), the Keratin Rejuvenation Treatment strengthens the hair at the cortex, fosters softer hair, and seals in moisture to retain all the beneficial effects of the Keratin System.
You lock in the results with an at home take-home supply kit, extending the effects of the treatment until the next salon visit.
WHO HAS HAD IT (and loved it): Charlize Theron, Michelle Monaghan, Kelly Preston, Kate Walsh to name a few...
WHERE TO FIND IT: With Denis de Souza, exclusively at the Andy Lecompte Salon in Los Angeles. Please call 310.273.4100 for an appointment.
AND ONLY $150 !!
After years of getting my dish water blond hair highlighted with your standard ammonia based highlights, I was sick of looking like a South Jersey soccer mom. Ammonia based highlights are the gift that keeps on giving. I'd leave the salon looking like a million bucks and a month later my golden tresses would look like the unfortunate Sun-in bleach job I rocked in high school.
Well, I can fret no more. There's a new highlight in town - L'Oreal Profesionel INOA. INOA, which stands for Innovation No Ammonia, advertises itself as the hair color for the future and I have to agree. I can't rave enough about the amazing highlights Kaz Amor, principal west coast extraordinaire at Warren Tricomi, gave me using INOA. You get so used to the toxic smell, the eyes watering, the scalp burning that it was hard to believe INOA was actually going to lighten my hair enough like Kaz assured me it would. Well, mission accomplished. Not only did I leave the salon with the gorgeous honey blonde I wanted, but three weeks later my hair is still gorgeous, shiny and soft.
This is one hair color you can feel great about – INOA doesn't harm environment, there's no animals testing and there's no yucky chemicals for you. The question now is why would anyone go back to their ammonia based highlights? They're so twentieth century.
And speaking of the twentieth century - I did my eyebrows no favors in that millennium. Apparently my brow butchering was so bad, that brow and lash specialist to the stars, Kristie Streicher, spotted my desperate need for help from across the room as Kaz was transforming my hair. Kristie is in so much demand in both New York and LA that she has to fly back and forth every six weeks to keep her peeps looking good. She’s now based mostly in LA so we’re super lucky to have access to her magic threading, tender tweezing and lengthening lashing. And what's so great about Kristi is that she’s into the natural brow so you don’t leave the salon feeling plucked to death. She shapes, tints – vegetable-based tint, btw - and tweezes the brows into a natural shape that frames your face. I also learned a little trick for people like me who have holes in their brows - the brow comb-over!

you've seen them before but feather extensions are not going away.
they're just getting more fun and creative!
KRYSTAL RIDDLE at FREG SEGAL SALON is doing what she calls tipping.
making them piecey and on the ends, sometimes doubling them up, two on one braided strand.
i've been wanting them for a while, but by the time i found the right person to do it, they started to feel a bit played out.
but now I can embrace my inner-steve-tyler
because Krystal has revitalized the look at is taking it to the next level (see below!)
and for $45 for 5 feathers, and in no time, it's a no-brainer, easy on the hair way to add a little bo-ho-summer's just around the corner-fun to your look.
they can last 1 to 3 months, can be washed, curled, whatevs.
they're simply clamped onto the end of a braid. it's that simple!
and doesn't hurt your hair at all.
( i love the contrast of my preppy grey turtleneck and hippie feather-y look)
of course you can go ANY color you want! natural, hot pink, peacock, etc.
here are some other looks Kirstal has rocked out:
Krystal envisioned extensions that are personalized and distinctive. Her approach is about versatility and creativity—the sky is the limit. Clients can opt for a casual and playful look, or do something subtle and chic. They can request a streak of long feathers, smaller feathers spaced along one strand of hair, short feathers attached to just the hair ends, or any other way imaginable. Krystal said she’s frequently asked to do the custom extensions, and predicts that this is just the tip of the iceberg: “I think people are definitely going to start doing more fun, imaginative things with their hair.”
Feathers clipped into the hair were popular additions to 70’s getups, but today a longer-lasting extension using one or two rooster tail feathers, left naturally colored or brightly died, are the norm. Celebs like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Hillary Duff, and even Steven Tyler have be-feathered themselves and inspired countless others to do the same. The skyrocketing demand for fashion feathers has even made it hard to find certain kinds.
Instead of churning out the same look on every head, Fred Segal Salon uses a mix of colors and feathers from a variety of birds, including rooster, guinea, pheasant, and ostrich. Peacock feathers, while a bit high-maintenance, are a great option for a special occasion or big night on the town. Clients can even bring in their own feathers, supplied by an art store of from their own Polly. Krystal encourages clients to get involved with the combination and positioning of the feathers before they’re expertly applied. The extensions last one to three months and can be washed, blow-dried and even curled just like the rest of the hair.
Feather hair extensions range from $30 for a single custom feather to $45 for a handful, but prices will vary depending on the number and types of feathers used.
Appointments can be made at (310) 907 -4022.
The salon is located at 420 Broadway in Santa Monica. www.fredsegalsalon.com <http://www.fredsegalsalon.com/> .

First up:
WET & DRY $225
WHAT :: Take your wet hair, dry AND straighten it in one swoop.
Now this is a tool that makes mommy happy.
My Brazilian has totally washed out.
My mane is a frizz-ball/Jew-fro/post-pregnancy-hair-loss extragevaganza.
I haven't had time to get a BB.
This is a perfect in-betweener.
I took my slop of a damp mess and it was dry and sleek in no time.
If you're going to spend on a good dryer and straightener, this is the perfect way to go.
MAD LOVE.
(Here's the official shpiel)
NuMe's newest and most exciting iron actually allows you to style when hair is still damp, no blow drying required.

The Wet & Dry will help you create your perfect hair profile without the damaging heat of a blow dryer or a hefty blowout bill. Now you can style wet or dry in less time with fewer products and no wear and tear.
Pinch me, a luxury hair experience at an affordable price is now available in Studio City at C Salon. I just left there and can't stop staring at my new fab look. Owner Claudio Lazo and his warm, can't-do-enough-for-you staff are super excited about the new Wella Hair Coloring system.
Waiting for the timer to ding, Claudio explained in passionate detail Wella's new coloring products that have "diamond dust" for shine and create a triple-bonding process with the hair follicle so your hair looks shiny and fresh for a solid six weeks, instead of great for one and then in a dull holding pattern until you can make it back to the salon. Then again with a staff as welcoming as the people at C Salon, all promoted from within, there's no reason not to back often.
I left there with color that looks lush and kissed with some subtle highlights just right for those of us who aren't KE$HA.
According to the charismatic Lazo, Wella color company got a revamping from Procter and Gamble, and starting April 4th it's game on for customers wanting the most luxurious hair products available in salons at an affordable price.
"Accessible luxury," is how they are selling it, and as soon as I stop running my hands through my incredibly silky hair, I'm buying it. I walked out feeling refreshed, loved, and armed to keep my hair upgrade in tact with Wella's Brilliance line of shampoo and conditioner. And at $14 each, I had money left for a large frozen yogurt two doors down at Studio City Yogurt, which I licked like a sexy super model. Until it was time pick up my son at the bus.
Single process starts at $65
Highlights at $100

There's a new spa in town. I'd like to call this doozey, a MEGA SPA.
(dj included)
This place is massive. And beautiful. And massive. Did I say that? A one-stop-urban escape-shop right on Sunset blvd.
They've got it all going on. And when I say all I mean: a 5 star service on mani/pedis (kids too!)/wax/massage, body therapy/extensive menu of exclusive high-end body treatments, facials, peels/men's grooming/hair cuts, color, treatments/boutique and YOGA CLASSES!
To make things as luxurious as possible, pull right up to the complimentary valet parking and toast your day off with a free glass champagne upon check in. And there's a private VIP-treatment suite for those days when you have to cut loose from the paparazzi that's been hanging on your tail all day. One room is called the Vichy room, sporting an overhead 14-head shower with Hydrotherapy jets that can be custom blended with aromatherapy oils to rain on you during your body treatment to improve circulation and amp up your mind/body relaxation experience.
The treatment rooms are exquisite. The spa design is Zen minimal/modern opulence/luxe (DJ booth included), all orange, white and wood with Birch tree-theme running throughout.
I tried the Le Posh Signature Seaweed Birch Wrap ($140) - a dry brush exfoliation followed by a seaweed birch infused wrap, warm blanket wrap and beyond divine deep massage top off. The spa uses the state of the art Biologique Recherche product line in all their treatments and I was drenched in their body moisturizer from head to toe afterwards. My therapist was incredible. Strong, knowledgeable and right on point.

Barneys says: Serge Normant Meta Morphosis Hair Repair Treatment $60
WHAT:: An intensive, deep renewal hair therapy helps restore, replenish and reinforce dry, brittle, over-worked and even the most damaged hair to its brilliantly lustrous, healthy state.
WHY:: Cutting-edge biotechnology with Keravisâ, a Vegetable Protein, strengthens, protects and nourishes the hair cuticle to help prevent breakage and enhance silkiness, shine, and manageability. An exotic blend of Moroccan Lava Clay and Cedar Bark Extract from the Atlas Mountains, works synergistically with Nopal Extract (Cactus) to help clarify and restore hair from root to end.
VERDICT:: After 3 treatments (1st actually) hair was softer, not nearly at brittle looking, shinier. Leave it in overnight and it does wonders.
This is a real luxury treatment for damaged hair.
And if it's good enough for Julia it's good enough for me :)
I'm no Demi Moore when it comes to the cell-self-port but here I go:
It's simply unfair at this point that I'm not spreading the Groomed LA love when it comes to reporting on colorists in LA.
But Andy LeCompte seems to have the most wicked collection of talent.
i. just. can't. stop.
George Papanikolas just lifted my horrible self-touched up (red? black? puke?) colored roots to a lighter carmelly tone and then pimped me out with mad highlights.
I actually brought in this cover for my inspiration:
Yup - it's Miley. And about the only thing we have in common is the same letters in our name.
But isn't that color fab? He said it was too light for me, but we would go as far as we could without me looking washed up. And 60.
George rocked it.

Yo!!
So many awesome things on the horizon for Groomed L.A. this year. Major expansions well beyond the world of skin-deep beauty. I'm talking home beauty, interiors/architecture/design, food, art, etc. The Beautiful Life is abundant! And our mission is to share a little of this beauty with you every day. :)
That being said, we will always be super on top of the best of the best of all things to make you feel and look beautiful in L.A.
And so I bring you, Vanessa Spaeth, wicked brill colorist at my all time fave salon Andy LeCompte (talk about visually stunning - it's a pitch perfect match to design aesthetic).
An L.A. native, she's been banging out the "beachy highlight summer surfin' in the 'Bu" look since she was 18. But getting your sun-kissed glow on is just the beginning. Vanessa is a master color corrector (got effed up color?...she's your woman). The celeb set has been known to line up for her to tone down their over-processed tresses and bring the gloss back. She's a master with brunettes. Seriously, my rich brown mane has more depth than Avitar in 3-D. She's got a fierce eye for color and skin tone and basically, I'd say, don't say anything. As in, she's the kind of colorist whose chair you just plop in and say, "go to town."

I wonder if my naturally dead worm curls are beyond the definition of “lazy” but I just gotta give it a shot, I mean a golf ball sized squirt. Maybe it will resuscitate my curls without going to the extraordinary measure of a curling iron and I can become one of those girls who can get ready in under an hour every day. Although, 2 days out of 3 this week is undeniably amazing. Why can’t I leave amazing alone?
I guess I’ll always be chasing the dragon but for now I’m pretty buzzed by Curl Force 17.
First of all the stuff smells AMAZING. Ya know when you get your hair washed at the salon and you say "wow, that smells so amazing, what is it?" - well it has THAT smell.
LiQWD uses NANO-HYDRASPHERE SCIENCE :
Nano-Hydraspheres™ carry proprietary blends of hydrating and revitalizing ingredients through the outer hair shaft, deep into the all-important cortex layer, where they control-release essential moisture, active nutrients and strengthening compounds. The result is exponentially increased long-term benefits for strong, healthy hair.
The breakthrough color protection strategy featured in all LiQWD products, ColorLife Technology® delivers sophisticated UV filters that seal color and essential moisture in, keep UV rays out and form a protective webbing around each hair to guard against heat, environmental damage, breakage and frizz. The result is unparalleled richness, color brilliance and weightless shine.
The delicately balanced cleansing system in LiQWD shampoos utilizes organic hydrotropes and buffering agents to create a rich, creamy lather that cleans thoroughly, rinses quickly, leaves no drying residue and helps prevent color oxidation for continuous brilliance. The result is clean, vital, manageable hair.
and MULTI DIMENSIONAL FRAGRANCE
Complex and sophisticated but never over-powering, LiQWD brings captivating, multi-layered fragrances back to hair care (where unexciting, single-note scents have dominated for decades).
When I use the Volumizing shampoo and conditioner then go nuts with the VOLUMIZING CATALYST ($28/ 150 ML) my hair makes me very, very happy. Full but not out of control or fluffy. Just sexy, beachy hair.
Diggin it big time!
I've read a lot about WEN, CHAZ DEAN'S hair cleansing and conditioning "systems"...You only have to use a minimal amount of water (very eco-friendly!), it's free of shampoo's chemicals and detergents and the cleansing conditioners replace shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detagnler and leave-in conditioner! WOW. You do have to pump out several pumps of the stuff, (it doesn't lather because it doesn't contain Sodium Laurel Sulfate, the sudsing agent) so even though it's replacing a bunch of products, in the long run, it might just even out economically, though I haven't done the math. In fact I haven't even gotten to them yet as I've fallen for some of the body products in the meantime and I'm still using my special Brazilian Hair Straightening shampoo and conditioner after my treatment with LIZ DEVIN - BEST HAIR STYLIST + BRAZLILIAN BLOW OUT.
Since I'm pregnant I am pouring on this amazing FIG BATH, BODY AND HAIR OIL. I'm an oil queen and love nothing more than to turn a bottle over on my tummy and let it moisturize my every pore after a shower. This one seems to be lasting forever, even though I'm being super generous with it. The fig scent is a bit bitter, but I'm liking it. And I'm very curious about some of the other scents: Sweet Almond, Tee Tree, Cucumber Aloe and Lavender so I'll def order a couple as the price is right for sure on these. You can use it in the bath, in your hair or on your skin, of course... (4oz. $20)
I also love the Tee Tree Bath Salts. (16 oz. $22) Smells amazing and feels wonderful.
I am finally going to give the cleansing system a try and I'll let you know how it works as soon as I'm further along with my Brazilian.
Just wanted to fill you in on the Oil as I'm still in stretch mark prevention preggo mode and this is a perfect product to mix in with all my classic stretch mark oils and creams.
Got questions?
Will WEN® really get my hair clean? Won’t I need shampoo?
WEN® uses a combination of natural extracts and botanicals to hydrate and cleanse your hair without the use of harsh detergents and chemicals. The perfect mixture and blend of its ingredients leave your hair healthy, moisturized, and cleansed. Once you start to use our products exclusively, you will never have to use shampoo ever again. In fact, you won’t even want to.
What is the difference between shampoo and WEN® Cleansing Conditioners?
First of all, WEN® cleanses the hair without harsh detergents or chemicals, leaving your hair clean and hydrated without stripping or lather. Since WEN® does not have any sodium laurel/laureth sulfates, it does not strip your color or your natural oils. This means, color will stay vibrant longer and you won’t be damaging your hair or scalp.
How do you use the WEN® Cleansing Conditioners?
WEN® is a simple and revolutionary way to clean your hair, eliminating the use of other products and thus omitting several steps in your daily cleansing regiment. Start by rinsing hair thoroughly and completely for at least one minute. Apply 8-10 pumps to the crown of your head and 8-10 pumps to nape/back of head. Massage vigorously into scalp for 2-3 minutes and add an extra splash of water to help evenly distribute through the ends. This makes it much easier to massage into your hairline and scalp, creating a cool and creamy consistency. Now add the remaining 10-20 pumps (depending on hair length) through the mid-shafts and ends, to thoroughly cleanse and hydrate the hair. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb and clip up for the remainder of the shower. Leave on for at least 3-5 minutes. The longer you leave it on the better for maximum results. Rinse thoroughly and completely for 1-2 minutes by massaging your scalp and running your fingers through to the ends.
The more product you use the better the results.
After you are done thoroughly, thoroughly rinsing your hair, apply 1-3 pumps of the Cleansing Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner to soaking wet hair, starting at the back of the head and working through to the ends. Make sure your hair is still completely drenched, this step is to be done BEFORE you towel dry your hair. Immediately after, add 1-3 pumps of the Sweet Almond Mint Styling Crème to soaking wet hair starting at the back of the head and working thought to the ends. Let hair dry naturally, style or wrap a towel around your head to absorb moisture. Do not abrasively dry your head with a towel as this will stress the hair and cause it to frizz.
My hair looks greasy and/or weighed down. I tried using less of the product and it has not helped. What is wrong?
One of the most common misconceptions about the WEN® product line is that it works like a shampoo. Meaning, the more you use, the greasier your hair will end up. This couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact, if you aren’t using enough of the Cleansing Conditioner, it won’t be able to clean your hair. The correct number of pumps varies depending on a number of traits: length, texture, etc. If you want to be safe, the more you use of WEN®, the better.
How many times a week should I use WEN®? Will it damage my hair if I wash it every day?
The more you use WEN®, the better! You can use it every day, twice a day, and it will simply hydrate and moisturize your hair. In fact, we generally suggest that when you first start out with our product you use it every day. This will help to heal and re-hydrate the damage that shampoo (among many other things) has caused. As you continue to use our products, you will find that you no longer have to cleanse as often.
I couldn't wait to get this ISO STRAIGHTENER/CURLER. I never knew you could make soft, flow-y curls with a straightener/flat iron until I got this one. It's not at wide as the average straightener and that's is how it makes the super soft girlie curls. Of course I had no idea how to do this at first. I was trying to make curls like a curling iron and it was a total disaster. So they sent me this video to learn how (watch it here, it's not me, btw!), apologies ahead of time for the lack of personality in these 'how to videos' - but they do show ya how it's done...Now, I can't wait to try this technique.
This ISO hair instruments are super top notch.
Here's WHY...
Mine was around $300.00
I was sent this wild Ed Hardy-ish Tattoo one ;)
I first sampled EUFORA'S BEAUTIFYING SERUM at a few award season swag events this year and fell in love with this all in one (hair, scalp AND skin) nutrient rich oil. I needed to know more about the line asap! The company has received a ton of raise in the industry - check out this press, which is always a great sign.
It's mission, to create people and planet friendly products, promote and restore the health of color treated and chemically serviced hair using botanical extracts, pure essential oils, no synthetics and a base of aloe vera blends is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
I'm playing around with their Hydrating Shampoo, Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment, Illuminate Shine Mist and Elevate Finishing Spray (cool because it has sun protection!) and diggin' them all big time. And I'm nuts about the Beautifying Serum - just wanna mush it in everywhere - soooo hydarting, but only the teeeniest drop in hair as it's quite rich.
So, where to buy Eufora? Go to this page and type in your Zip for store or salons that sell the stuff!
I have found the only and I mean ONLY other person (besides my beloved and brilliant Danny Hernandez) whom I will ever trust my color to, who get's it, know's fashion, what's hot and knows exactly how to make your hair look brilliant from one simple look at you: That is the genius, CHRISTOPHER PIERCE.
And he can be found at the uber-chic-I'm-totally-obsessed-with it- ANDY LeCOMPTE SALON.
I won't get into the details of the bleak color situation I was in that brought me to him last week, but let's just say, not only did he resuscitate my hair back to life, took things to a whole new level of supreme goddess greatness.
WIth over 25 years in the biz, and one of the busiest chairs in the biz, Chris is known for his Baliage highlighting technique, richly colored darker hues, fabulous shades of vibrant red and a passion for color correction (Amen!) ...He turned what had become an overly-processed-brassy-orange-grey-overly-foil-highlighted mess and turned it into yummy, warm, sexy, young, natural looking caramel, gold and honey, deliciousness - the kind you seriously only see in magazines after it's been photo-shopped. He's a color master. Very few of these guys around and Chris Pierce is the real deal.

HOW COOL IS THIS?!
Totally genius idea. Booked my first appointment and cannot wait. Letcha' know how it goes. Looks awesome. A super cool blow dry for $35? Brilliant.
LA's first "blow dry bar" has a very simple concept: No cuts. No color. Just blowouts. $35 drybar was created when co-founder Alli Webb outgrew her "one woman" mobile show. After moving to LA, she began doing at-home blowouts on the side, but the strictly referral-based business quickly exploded. Webb says" I realized that women wanted a better blowout, a better experience, and a better price - especially in this economy." After a year of planning and development, the drybar concept was born! The idea is centered around a bar experience as opposed to a typical "hair salon" environment. The main "blow out bar" is the focal point of the space and where women will sip their cocktail and watch Sex and the City while getting a blow out! Whether you want the Manhattan (sleek and smooth hair) or the Mai Tai (messy, beach hair), there is something for everyone.
Check out these pix. Gorgeous space!

Hair care is ready for a change…Women are ready for a Revolution
So super excited! I've been obsessed with Ric ever since he gave me the world's best haircut that I FLEW TO NYC FOR this year. He told me he was coming out with his own line of hair products and viola - it's here! What's so cool about it is that the products are formulated specifically to your cut. So far, so good, and I'm diggin' the styling products big time. THe shampoo and conditioner are super yummy. OH! And they smell amazing! Here's a bit about the stuff below:
Pipino’s new line revolutionizes the concept of hair care with products designed to address the haircut rather than hair type. Recognizing a void in the hair care market, Pipino designed Revolution In Cut to re-energize and support the haircut and help bring out its personality, shape and style – a simple maintenance plan that helps hair respond to its new shape.
Ric Pipino’s groundbreaking approach to hair care serves haircut functionality, helping to maintain the integrity of the haircut day in and day out. Using an innovative haircut-specific approach, Pipino designed a line of products that stand up to his high level of standards and keep his clients’ hair looking both healthy and beautiful, all while maximizing the cuts’ shape and style between salon visits. Each product reinforces the signature cutting techniques used to create the haircut. Revolution In Cut is comprised of a shampoo, conditioners, primers and styling products customized to the six essential haircut techniques: bob, layered bob, crop, short layer, long layer, blunt. Inspired by Pipino’s personal memories of trips to Italy with his father, each product is lightly infused with the scent of Neroli (orange blossom), reinforcing Pipino’s belief that hair should be a multi-sensorial experience – not just about the way hair looks and feels, but how it smells. All products in the Revolution In Cut line are free of sulfates, parabens and gluten.
CARE FOR my cut
Revolution In Cut’s customized shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner are suitable for all hair types and haircuts, designed to complement the unique primers. The daily conditioner provides UV protection and contains Keratin and protein to prevent breakage. The deep conditioner acts as a weekly hair mask using amino acids and botanicals to nourish and repair dryness and damage.
PRIME my cut
The six primers or pre-styling products are in essence an extension of the hairdresser’s scissors, helping to support and maintain the performance of the haircut in between salon appointments. These first-to-market primers are formulated with the specific levels of hold, volume, texture and shine to improve the condition of the hair, in turn extending the life of the cut. Containing a proprietary blend of amino acids, proteins and vitamins in conjunction with unique nanosphere technology, Revolution In Cut primers increase the strength, hydration and elasticity of the hair.
STYLE my cut
Pipino puts the final touches on Revolution In Cut with a wide range of styling products that allow the haircut to take on new personalities. The categories include Toussle Me, Curl Me, Smooth Me and Lift Me. Thermal protectants found in the Toussle, Smooth and Lift products prevent color from fading and protect against damage from heat styling tools. Rich antioxidants found in the Toussle product work to repair damage and provide movement without build-up.
With a focus on delivering personal attention to each hair type’s needs, Revolution In Cut is a direct reflection of Pipino’s approach to styling – it’s personal.
Revolution In Cut launches January 2010 and will be sold exclusively through the month of March 2010 at Beauty 360 (www.beauty360.com) locations nationwide and online at as well as Pipino’s salons and online at www.pipino.com. Beauty 360 offers prestige and niche beauty products from around the world, and as an extension of CVS/pharmacy, provides customers nationwide with access to upscale, professional products. Revolution In Cut is the latest addition to their roster of luxury brands.
I've been letting my hair grow. Grow and grow until the cows come home. Or until, the ends breaks off and turn to dreads which happened last week.
So Danny - colorist Guru is putting it lightly - told me I had to get a trim (darn!!) and that I had to try Tomas, the straight hunky, sexy Polish guy who kinda dresses like a straight hunky, sexy, Polish guy at Byron (Now Byron and Kelly).
I warned him, with threats of physical injury or least, just having to listen to me blab about myself for and hour, "Just SHAPE it, ok?? Or I won't shut up. Seriously, this will not be fun for anyone."
And that is what he did. And what he THEN did with that round brush and a blow dryer was like David Blaine with a Cosmetology degree. He might as well have been in a hair show. Curling that hair this way and that around that big fat barrel and making into major SEXY like, Victoria Secret Photo-shoot hair. He said "I hope you go someplace good tonight!" The winks were less than subtle. I said I'll be picking up my two year old and getting into bed with her when it gets cold later. He was disappointed to say the least.
