Unfortunately, I was not born with hair that looks good with the “shower-and-go” look. Most days I wish I could skip the 25 minutes I have to spend blowing out myhair, but I figure my trendy co-workers wouldn’t think my naturally frizzy hair is all that attractive. That’s why I’m obsessed with Primp and Blow [...]

Whether seeking a full day of pampering or a quick treat, head to Park Avenue Blow Dry and Beauty Bar for a pick-me-up. With my stick-straight hair, styling my ‘do is a fairly simple task (please don’t hate me), which is why I never quite understood the appeal of going in for a blowout. But [...]
I have a case of long-hair syndrome. I’ll be the first to admit it. After committing one of those “my life just changed drastically and so I need to change my hair just as much” faux pas and cutting my lower-back touching locks up to my shoulders, I went through a time where I couldn’t [...]

Touted as the stylist to the stars — his work has graced the covers of Glamour, [...]
My life is rather dull, so after most haircuts I’m typically headed to the grocery store or some other destination where good hair goes to waste. But this time, it’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve got a bona fide reason to get gussied up. My path to pretty starts with a tinter/permer. This itself this [...]
I’ll get right to the point here: Very funky. Very cool. Awesome location. Best hair cut ever. I was introduced to Steven Paul Salon by a friend who I ran into one fateful day at a local card shop. I actually didn’t recognize her at first because she had gone from a brunette to a [...]
Ah, the never ending shaving, waxing and plucking. Thanks to technology, these necessary evils in every girl’s beauty routine now have a magic eraser, laser hair removal.
