So what goes into developing hair extensions that anyone can have and hold and apply quickly with ease? We had a brief Q&A with Easihair creative director and director of national sales, Lisa Minervini, about what went into the process of making these products.

Yes, finding the perfect present for the bride and groom isn’t easy. Though expensive China and table settings are lovely, why not consider a gift that can be used everyday and not just on special occasions? You won’t have to be super careful as you handle it, or keep it stored in a safe place. <... >
There’s so much going on during your wedding day.

That leaves little time for primping and fixing or plastering in product, so when you get <... >
When Leonard Golino tells you he actually has fun with every client he works on, you believe him. He has a down-to-earth quality so rare among people nowadays, and not of trace of unapproachable snootiness. Being a new salon owner in New York is a tough business, but when your hands are as skilled as <... >
As I start off this April as your hair care editor, I feel the need to come clean: in the past, I have been stylistically challenged. But these days, I get my hair cut and colored at a reputable salon, and I make sure my hairdresser explains how to correctly use any product I put <... >
I’m the youngest of three daughters. My childhood buddies would tease me and say I was Cinderella with two wicked sisters, but it was actually really great growing up with two elder siblings looking out for me at school and at home. I never had any squabbles with them, probably because they’re six and seven <... >
I change my hair color so often that my husband teases me, and says that if I were missing, he wouldn’t know what color my hair was when reporting it to the police. I clearly have fun reinventing myself with new hairstyles and different colors. It was time for that inevitable change, yet again. I <... >
One of the most basic products for healthy, shiny hair is also the one most often overlooked: water. We have to use it every time we wash our hair, and there are so many different variables affecting the water that comes out of our taps– from temperature to mineral deposits. I’ve lived in over 15 <... >

As far as hip uptown salon names go, they fail to impress me. I am, however, a sucker for a good cut. After deciding it was time for a change again and short and bouncy was for me, a friend recommended Manhattan’s legendary Miano Viél Salon & Spa. Just past the glazed entranceway and beyond <... >
Let It Be…..Don’t Fix It If It Isn’t Broken…..Let Sleeping Dogs Lie…..All very wise old proverbs that advise against change. I’m a great believer in the last saying – Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. Primarily because I’m a recent “mother” to an Irish Setter puppy. Silly me, to have ignored everyone’s warnings that Setters are rollicking <... >
This fall, the fashions are glamorous, harkening back to the 40′s and 50′s for chic sophistication. So how do we do our hair? I spoke with Eliut Rivera of EM Studio to find out what we should be doing to our tresses this fall. Eliut and Marco Maranghello are the creators of EM Studio, a <... >
The first time you try anything, it’s better to follow the advice of “less is more.” If you like it, and want to do it again, well anything is game, right? Last June, I had my first appointment at the Cutler Salon. Afterwards, I had the best hair of my life. Well, until the curl <... >
If we lived our lives like shampoo commercials, we’d all be tossing our long silky locks whenever a slight breeze came our way… and I guess that would be all right with the world. Unfortunately, for most of us; our lives are much too complicated for us to even think of tossing our tresses. Such <... >
I’ve got curly hair. When it looks good, it’s amazing. When it looks bad, well I look like a cross between Albert Einstein and a sheep dog. I had given up on my hair, it won the battle. Then I heard about Christo Fifth Avenue, a salon whose main clientele are curly headed women and <... >
I’m a bit of a tomboy, thanks to my dad who made me assist him in home improvement projects. When I was eight, I remember putting together a speaker fashioned out of plywood, egg cartons and my sister’s old dress…I can’t recall if I was punished for cutting up her dress. All I remember is <... >
The Straight and Narrow: One Girl’s Great Experience with Japanese Thermal Reconditioning
By Stephanie Ila Silver-Silberstein
Tivo, Lasik Surgery, and Japanese Thermal Reconditioning. These are just a few of what I consider to be the underestimated “miracles” of modern technology and science.
