I’m forty-three, and last year I had one of the best times of my life attending the Fab Over 50 (FOF) event! I met the founder, Geri Brin, who welcomed me to this exciting beauty bash. New product launches, mini make-overs and hair trims were all part of the event and well known/celebrity makeup artists such as Sandy Linter, Sue Devitt and Paula Dorf, among others, were on hand giving clients tips on how to look their best.
I remember watching Mark Garrison cut attendees hair in amazement as he was fast and oh-so-good as …

Summer is in full bloom. With temperatures rising, we indulge ourselves with day-outs, fun-filled activities, beach parties… the list goes on. As the warm sunny days arrive, we need to take care of our skin and hair to protect it from the heat and humidity. Most of us manage to keep our skin moisturized but often forget to moisturize our hair. We frequently face problems like dry, dull hair with split ends and frizz. All of these make it hard to comb, causing tangles and hair loss. …

That body, that flawless skin, that accent! If there wasn’t enough to be jealous about, Sofia Vergara’s hair is really the icing on the cake.

To learn the tricks we’ve asked two of our favorite hairstylists, Luca Blandi, senior stylist at the Oscar Blandi Salon, and Michael Angelo, owner and creative director of Wonderland Beauty Parlor, to help use recreate her hair looks, whether straight or …

Ever had a bad hair day—or a bad hair week?  Well, I had an entire bad hair winter and as soon as springtime hit, I concentrated on finding some serious TLC for my locks.  After all, healthy hair is happy hair.

I didn’t have to look very far thanks to my favorite Park Avenue salon Mizu and the innovating experts in deep conditioning at Kerastase.   Chronologiste is the ultimate cure-all for injured, warn-out and downright abused strands – plus the ritual itself is simply indulgent.  I got to experience the exclusive …

And if you’re lucky enough to be a curly gal, you’ve likely gone through bins full of ‘em. That’s because in the quest for perfect curls, many ladies seem to go through products like Kim Kardashian goes through guys.
No two curls are alike, so it’s hard to find that perfect product for your curl type, and we know firsthand how frustrating it is to cut through all that …

I guess I’ve always had a lot of hair. And, much like its owner, it’s always been a bit indecisive. As a baby, I was born with a head of hair, which promptly fell out in the coming months. As it grew back, my hair manifested itself as thin, fine, and straight. Then as I got older, my thin, fine hair, turned into a thick, wavy mess. Now, as I settle into my early twenties, my hair has settled into a nice thick curl.

Before (Straight, sleek, curl-less)
When I was in …

I remember when I was little how some of the things my mom did to beautify herself simply disturbed me. She seriously put a bunch of gooey green stuff on her face and let it harden into a crusty mess that she had to peel off her skin? Yuck. And what about hot oils for hair? Was that some form of torture?
Yep, that was my youthful mind. But now that I’ve blossomed into a beauty fanatic, ready to take on even the most odd of beautification methods (ok, well not …
