This week’s favorite catalog look comes courtesy of Lilly Pulitzer whose classic shifts, skirts, tunics and trousers featuring preppy prints and patterns in an even peppier palette set the standard for society playwear. What I like about this pretty ponytail is its versatility. It’s neat enough to wear to work and pretty enough for a [...]
Here’s how to fix seasonal problems - or prevent them in the first place!
I’m a big fan of the messy bun. It’s my savior. No matter how carefully I style my longish hair, by the end of the day I just need to get it up, up and away. I’ve perfected my wrapping technique (pull hair into a would-be ponytail—low or high—make a loop and wrap the band [...]
Last week I attended the Premiere Orlando International Beauty Event, a hair skin and nail show that attracts the top talent in the industry. All the greats were there, including my hero, Takashi Kitamura, the Japanese-born art director of A Robert Cromeans Salon and a member of the brilliant Paul Mitchell artistic team.

What’s more, [...]
Attention class! Today’s cut and color equation is as follows:
All over color + highlights + lowlights + gloss (for shine, natch) + precision brow skimming bangs (they MUST be perfect) + Paul Mitchell Super Skinny (the works: Shampoo, Conditioner, Serum and Balm to smooth and straighten hair like nobody’s business) + body-boosting blow out = [...]
