Flashback: Have You Serenaded Your Hairdresser Today?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:02:00 -0700

Why this chick sang a song for her stylist is mind boggling - frankly, her fugly head of hair needed some serious attention. (And where is Tim Gunn when you need him?) She's lucky her hairdresser was nowhere in sight; those scissors could've done some major damage.

Modeling After Others Mamas: Do You Fear Influences?

If Lila Hack wasn't born crawling with a swagger, she is sure to learn it just by watching her mum. Model mother Kate Moss threw her godchild, 9-year-old Iris Law (daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost), the soiree of her dreams - a catwalk party. A well-known woman in the fashion world, the leggy Top Shop designer brought gobs of clothes, hairdressers, and makeup galore for the little darling and her pals, which happened to include her own 7-year-old daughter Lila Hack. Done up to the nines, it was then time for the youngsters to learn how to strut their stuff. While it may sound fun and fancy, one might wonder what kind of influence it has on the impressionable youths. One source said:

All of the girls at the bash wanted to be Kate. She brought along lots of clothes for them and the girls had their hair and make-up done especially. . . . Kate also presided over all of the accessories to make them look as catwalk-ready as possible. She was teaching them how to master her famous hip swagger and her "I don’t care look."

My hang-up? I always want my child to care. Would you allow your tot to attend a model party?

Kate Moss and James Brown Are In A Hair Raising Row

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:23:02 -0800

Can this BFF rift really be true? For years, hairdressers and celebrities have been besties. Take Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves, Jennifer Aniston and Chris McMillan and SJP and Serge Norman for example. And, on this side of the pond, our favourite duo was Kate Moss and James Brown.

They've known each other since they were teens and have even become business partners launching a line of haircare products and a salon. However, apparently they're on the outs, and according to the Daily Mail, it's more than just a little row, the friendship could be in serious trouble. It appears that Kate is upset about how much airtime she got on James' Supermodel Salon TV documentary and when the Mail spoke with James at a Mulberry Made For Apple party, he said:

"She maintains her hair herself nowadays."
Friendship and business can get sticky, but I'm hoping these old pals can figure out a way to patch things up soon!

Get Kate Moss Hair on the Cheap

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

It's hard not to carry on our obsession with Kate Moss, especially as she looks so fresh-faced and pretty on the cover of Vogue this month. Now you can emulate the supermodel's trademark blonde locks for the bargain price of just £10. Kate's hairdresser and all-round bezzy mate, James Brown, is launching a new shampoo and conditioner duo at Boots, this week.

As well as being Kate's mane man, James is also the coiffeur to a whole host of stars and has over twenty years experience on shoots. James did Kate's hair on the legendary 1992 Vogue cover, shot by Corinne Day, and at 22 was the youngest ever hairdresser to earn such a career distinction. While it'd be practically impossible (and expensive) to secure a cut and colour with the man himself, his James Brown London line is cheap as chips.

For why Kate Moss loves it, just read more.

The shampoo and conditioner duo is especially good if, like Kate, you have that typically British fine straight hair that's not overly thick. It adds volume and shine, as well making blonde hair look even brighter. I wouldn't recommend it for dry or very thick hair though. I'm used to a super-thick conditioner so out of the range only his Richly Moisturising Conditioner, (£5.99), works for my hair. Having said that, less thick-haired friends have waxed lyrical about the shampoo and conditioner duo, and if it's good enough for Kate...

How To: X-Factor Diana's Big Hair

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:00:00 -0800

You probably know by now that I simply can't get enough of this season's big, bird's nest hair styles. From Guido's matte creations at Marc Jacobs to Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding's bouffant do, it's all about messy, voluminous styles. X-Factors' wannabe star Diana Vickers was sporting an amazing look on this weekend's programme. With a disco theme, the contestants battled it out in a flurry of sequins and hairspray.

I was intrigued to learn the insider secrets behind Diana's fluffed-up barnet and apparently it's all about Elnett hairspray and an undone vibe. Ben, the X Factor's resident hairdresser, talks you through how to re-create this look at home. For a video masterclass, read more.

Jessica & Eva Celebrate their Hairdresser

PopSugar — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 17:21:23 -0700

Ken Paves has become the most famous hairdresser thanks to being Jessica's right hand man these days. Apparently Ken had a birthday party and his best gal friends Jessica and Eva came out to celebrate. I wonder if the girls had him come over to do their hair before his big event.

Young and Gray? You Might Just Want To Stick With it

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:00:09 -0700

No matter your age, I'm sure you remember the first time you spotted a gray hair on your head. For me, I was 24. A random occurrence, I thought, although my dad was pretty much completely silver-haired by his late twenties, so I couldn't be too sure. The majority of you said you have already found your first gray hair, and since my initial unearthing, I've detected several more "natural highlights," as my hairdresser likes to say. But would it be so bad to be a young gray-haired lady, after all? Vogue writer Sarah Harris doesn't think so, recalling her early discovery of gray strands as a teenager.

"I was 16 and mortified," Harris tells The Times. By her twenties, she truly started to embrace her light locks, saying, "I slowly grew fond of the way my silver flickered when it caught the light." While she realizes that she's lucky to have a soft, silken texture to her hair, Harris acknowledges it's a lot of work. "Gray hair, unless styled and conditioned, can look washed-out and neglected. Grooming is crucial," she says. Therefore, she spends more time on her strands, protecting her hair from the sunlight to reduce yellowing, all while investing in good shampoos specifically designed for silver tones. To find out why she'll probably stay with the gray for a while, just keep reading.

Kate Is Very Selective About Her Salons

PopSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:00:27 -0700

Kate Moss stepped out in London yesterday to visit the John Freida salon. She left with her hair all tied up in a bun, so we didn't get a peek at whether she had anything done to it inside. A few hours later Kate was back with her usual hairdresser, her BFF James Brown, whose 40th birthday party she attended last night. Kate has offered James lots of support in the past, turning out for his big opening bash and promising to make an appearance on his upcoming reality show.

Would You Rent an $1,850 Apartment With No Bathroom Sink?

SavvySugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:15:26 -0700

The next time you're kvetching about your apartment's shortcomings, consider 27-year-old Atossa Movahedi's one-bedroom Chelsea apartment. The New York Times tells the story of Atossa's search for something within her price range that wasn't a studio and located in one of her preferred neighborhoods. After living with roommates in various Manhattan neighborhoods, she was determined to find a place to call her own for about $1,600 a month.

When it became obvious her budget and vision wouldn't work together, she reconsidered and increased what she was willing to pay for monthly rent. After a long, frustrating search, Movahedi found something she could live with in her now apartment, but the place isn't perfect - the apartment is missing a bathroom sink. She says the shortcoming doesn't really bother her (she notes that her hairdresser doesn't even have a bathroom) and said, "It forces me to do my dishes right away. I make sure the kitchen is really clean."

Would you sign a lease on an apartment with no bathroom sink?
