Bethenny Frankel from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City made a special trip (with her new beau) to South Beach last week for SOBeFiT Magazine’s Fittest Person of the Year Inaugural Event. Her hair was lookin’ fab despite the rainy and ultra-humid weather outside. Before the event, Bethenny paid a visit to celeb stylist Rob Scheppy for a cut & blowout. Rob has styled hair for tons of celebs like Daisy Fuentes, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Kristen Cavallari, to name a few.

Here’s Bethenny with SOBeFiT Magazine Editor-In-Chief Marta Montenegro mixing SkinnyGirl Margaritas…Yum! An insider source tell us she was feeling a little under the weather this day, but we sure couldn’t tell!

Salon Vaso is one of the few places in Miami Beach where you can get a blowout for $20 any day of the week. For the summer, the salon is offering $38 mani/pedi packages Tuesdays through Thursdays; on Fridays and Saturdays, a $15 manicure is available.

Mention the Miami Herald article when you book a manicure-pedicure package and receive a free shampoo and blowout. Offer valid through June 20.

Oribe has also fashioned hair for Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell and Elizabeth Hurley to name a few. It’s very popular salon located on South Beach’s Lincoln Road. Oribe is listed in Allure Magazine’s Salon&Spa Directory and has some rave reviews on Yelp. Their world-class stylists come wtih an expensive price ticket, so expect to cough up the Benjamins when booking an appointment here.

PGH: More and more curly girls we know want to cut their hair short. Can curlies go short?

Vaso: I love long hair and I find that often time these women who want to go short really just need more shape than anything.  Their hair feels heavy and they crave a new look. I tell them to trust me on the length and if they still want to go shorter, to come back the next day and I’ll cut shorter.

PGH: What is the perfect haircut for curly hair?

Vaso: Every curl is different and therfore I feel that every cut needs to be different. In my salon, I customize each haircut, so really, there is no one perfect haircut for curly hair.

PGH: What’s the first thing curly girls should do once they get out of the shower?

Vaso: Fight the urge to towel dry or look at your missed calls on your cell! Go straight for your hair product and apply to soaking wet hair. This is a must if you want to be frizz-free.

PGH: Speaking of hair products, do you have any favs?

Vaso: I love Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Diamante products. I’ve been using this Italian line for 10 years and it’s fantastic!

PGH: Can you give us some tips on diffusing?

Vaso: I recommend setting your blow-dryer on high heat, medium speed. This way your curl has more time to form. Don’t use your hands! Instead, use the diffuser to cup each section of hair. You can put the diffuser up to your scalp but be carfeul not to burn yourself. Stick to an up-and-down movement instead of left-and-right to prevent frizz.

PGH: You have naturally curly hair but do you ever go straight?

Vaso: I go straight sometimes but I just feel more like myself in my curly hair. It fits me better and curly hair rocks! I am lucky too because my finance likes my curly hair better than straight.

If you are a curly girl (or man) and live in or near Miami, you must go meet Vaso.  And for those of you who don’t live in Miami – you may want to consider making a special trip (she’s that good). Vaso Salon has some great specials too, like a $20 blowout and $40 mani/pedi. Can’t beat that on the beach!
