Keri Russell Buns It Up

Amanda — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 02:27:43 +0000

We came across this picture of Keri Russell from a red carpet event she attended a couple weeks ago. Let me start by saying what a relief it is to see a celeb out in public, walking the red carpet nonetheless, with hair that is not perfectly in place.

Keri Russell has PGH! Remember her Felicity-fro days!?

Well Keri, when it comes to taming big hair, we feel you. And we stand by your decision to wear a messy, swept-up bun to this event! We hope you do it again soon. Rock on with your bun.

Skip the Salon for Special Event Hair

Amanda — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:57:35 +0000

Everyone loves to get their hair done at a salon for special events, but it can be very expensive. Especially, if you have 3 weddings, 1 graduation, and a couple baby showers, all in the next few months.

Forget that! Instead, you should invest in a beautiful hair piece. We found a couple online at Nordstroms that are affordable and add that special elegant touch.

Tasha Hydrangea Flower Clip with Austrian Crystals – $38.00

Juicy Couture Butterfly Barrettes – $40

Tasha Skinny Headband with Vintage Stones – $48.00

International Fantasy Hair Competition

Amanda — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:52:05 +0000

The International Fantasy Hair Competition is taking place today in Manchester, NH and I so wish I was there!

In what will be deemed the couture show of the hair world, 50 contestants will compete for the biggest hair and first place prize of $7,500 as they raise money for the New Hampshire Food Bank. In its fourth year, this Hair Competition is a unique charity event that combines fun with the vision of assisting the hungry in New Hampshire. Bring on the weaves, blow dryers, curling rods and hair spray; for the International Fantasy Hair Competition, the more eccentric, the better!

Are you planning a trip to Miami to enjoy our beautiful winter weather? It is seriously gorgeous outside right now! If you’re around on November 2nd, you may want to hit up the Breast Cancer Cutathon.

This is how it works. Top Miami hairdressers are charging a $20 donation for a cut. The day’s proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. And later that night, Paul Mitchell is hosting a celebratory bash at Flavour Nightclub.

Curly Hair Camp at GBS

Amanda — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:23:00 +0000

GBS, The Beauty Store, is hosting Curly Hair Camp at a couple of their stores this week. I had two friends at work tell me about this! Thanks ladies for looking out for PGH!

I plan on going to the Coral Gables store on Saturday (it’s walking distance from my house) if anyone wants to join.

Here’s the deal – Lorraine Massey is a celeb stylist, author and co-owner of DevaCurl and New York’s Devachan Salon. There will be free hair consultations, product demos, samplings, book signings and a 20% discount on all Deva products.

Sounds like fun, huh? The Camp starts on Thursday at the Boca and Aventura stores and on Saturday in Pinecrest (10 am to 1 pm) and Coral Gables (2 pm to 5 pm). Check out www.gbsbeauty.com for more info and leave a comment if you want to come with me.

Bed Head Event at Ulta

We just got word that Ulta is having it’s last Summer Hair Demo this Saturday, July 26th. Stylists from Bed Head will be at the store all day talking about how to “transform you frizzy hair into soft beach waves” using their Dual Waver (see picture of funny looking contraption). I’ll be at the Kendall location if anyone wants to carpool.
