Highlights are getting boring. Almost everyone who walks down the streets – be they New York, California or Kentucky streets – has taken to getting frosted…and on a pretty regular basis, no less. It seems rare to find women with color treated hair and no highlights. Most of the time they’re the subtle, natural, ordinary <... >

Hollywood stylists continue to become more accessible as they launch new product lines to the masses – mass retail outlets that is. Christophe, renowned stylist and owner of Christophe Beverly Hills hair salons, has recently inked a deal with America’s largest retail pharmacy, CVS. Christophe Beverly Hills “Purely Natural” hair care line is currently available <... >

When I was younger, I rarely went to the salon to get my hair cut. Every several months or so, on a Saturday afternoon, I would head to my personal hairstylist/cousin’s apartment. She’d cut my hair, we’d talk, we’d laugh, her Yorkshire Terrier Toto (as in the Wizard of Oz) would bark uncontrollably at nothing <... >

They coat your pillow case. They cling to your sweaters, and they clog your drain. Yes, for the number of hairs we shed each day, it is surprising that we are not all going bald. Do you know that on average, the normal person loses up to 120 hairs every day? I contacted hair stylist <... >

Brass is a blonde’s color nightmare. For redheads it’s fire engines. Brunettes fear looming mouse-iness. Anyone who lives with color treated hair – and let’s face it, these days, who doesn’t? – knows that maintaining a hue’s vividness is a full-time beauty job. With hectic work and social schedules, weeks can turn into months between <... >

Winter means our skin has to battle the moisture-sapping cold, the chilly, reddening winds and a lackluster glow thanks to Mother Nature. But what about our hair? As spring approaches and you can no longer conceal your locks under a ski cap, make some time for a total hair makeover. I visited Le Salon Chinois <... >

Sitting in the hair salon, at the mercy of the scissor-holder, surrendering all the control you once had over each one of the millions of hairs on your head can be daunting. When your hairdresser is all too-familiar with you, the fear lessens. But if you’re sitting in someone’s chair for the first time, it’s <... >

Let’s face it, while we all respect “The Academy” and want those who exhibited astounding amounts of talent over the past year to be recognized for their efforts in a most grandiose fashion, it all comes down to the Red Carpet. Whether you tune in early to watch the pre-show, surf the top gossip blogs <... >

I’m a downtown girl at heart though I live in a borough. Put me on the Upper East Side and I feel like a fraud, a fish out of water. So, when I headed uptown for a Saturday appointment at Francky L’Official, I found myself disconcerted by the strollers, the well behaved pups, the street <... >

Many of Hollywood’s A-list celebs, both young and old, trust their hair to acclaimed colorist Tracey Cunningham. From young trendsetters like Lindsay Lohan, and Nicole Richie to Oscar-award winning actresses like Julia Roberts and Hillary Swank, Cunningham has proved time and time again that she knows color. Cunningham started her career at Art Luna in <... >

A woman’s hair is her identity. It symbolizes what’s going on inside of her head and what she’d like to portray to the world. It reveals ethnic backgrounds, social class, age. It is our most personal adornment. It is only natural that we are concerned with its appearance and, of course, what the other half <... >

When I walked into the Chris Chase Salon my first thought was, “Do I need to be on the guest list to see my colorist?” This posh hair shop suggests more of a bustling “it” spot rather than a full-service salon. A breathtaking crystal chandelier, beautiful crown moldings and cool grey tones create a hip <... >

Get Hair-apy. It’s a slogan made popular by an inexpensive brand of hair products – but it couldn’t be truer. The catch is that it’s not nearly as easy to fix problem hair as marketing campaigns might like us to think. In fact, if you’re suffering from troublesome tresses, it can become depressing to deal <... >

I don’t work in black and white. I lose my identity. I am, and always will be, the girl with the red hair. Sometimes, I’m the tall girl with the red hair. But most times, it’s just one simple key word that makes me stick out in a crowd – red. Here I am at <... >

Who hasn’t had a horrible hair day? No matter what you do, it just won’t turn out right. Or maybe you suffer from thinning hair and are embarrassed about going out? I myself have always had very fine hair so when I heard of Dov Salon and the range of hair extensions, pieces and wigs <... >

It was back in August that the retail world made us well-aware of the approaching holiday season; many stores skipping the in-between holidays altogether and moving right on to Christmas decorations, music and a forced cheer that we couldn’t snub. But even if back then you tried your best to ignore the impending holiday season, <... >

Sweaters are on, fingerless gloves are in, pashminas are wrapping, boots are strutting, coats are buttoned, tans are fading and hair…well, somehow hair is still Pam Anderson blonde and dry as the Sahara. Not that there’s anything wrong with blonde, but let’s face it; this is New York City, not Malibu. If you find your <... >
