Wow....Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Where does one start? From participating and watching some of the most innovative L'Oreal platform artists, to seeing a glimpse of the new Gwen Steffani fashion line, my mind is still racing!
First, no, sadly, Gwen was only there in spirit, but I figured that. Secondly, I did get to witness rock star in terms of the hair world. They had us doing beachy textures with deconstructed waves and braids that totally complimented Gwen's collection. The INOA color was a huge hit, and every single model loved the results (how often does that happen?)
One of my big thrills was to hear the model Tiffany and I colored (plus Tiffany colored her extensions beautifully to match) drew the loudest applause of all.
Another of my thrills was working with L'Oreal's amazing Maya Webb. She is a gold mine of knowledge, and you know I was panning for THAT gold! Because of her I feel I have come back with even more tricks up my sleeve to further assist Sugardaddy's clients in their roles as "fashionistas of westsound!" Thank you so much Maya!! She even had me color Kirsten Magrini, the head of L'Oreal's west coast. This could of been either a 'boxing with God' situation or a high five, and can I get a 'hell yeah', it was a HIGH FIVE!!
Marco, of Marco's 2 Union Square was the host salon that we prepped the models at, which was cathartic because Marco was the man I apprenticed under many moons ago when he was at the Gene Juarez in the Four Seasons, (he even made me cry once...once) so it was great to see him again and his beautiful salon.
The event was held at the Sky Lounge at the EMP, and what a cool, psychedelic space and L'oreal being the class act had an open bar. On a side note, some hairdressers really need a 12 step, just cause the hootch is free, does that really mean you should binge and make a spectacle? and no, this isn't a "insider" scold to Tim, lol.
Can I just give it up to Tim, by the way. That man gives til it hurts! From going to hand pick up the L.A.M.B. collection at EMP to making what could be stressful event into a seamless and flawless day, he never stopped!
We want to thank Kirsten, Maya and Brittney from L'oreal for making it happen and including us in this collaboration. Not only attending but getting us involved backstage. To Erin Pillo our fabulous Maly's rep that got this whole L'Oreal ball rolling! Our success is also yours. And thank you to our supportive clients who we felt there in spirit with us, and their happiness for us!
Hope you enjoy the video's!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmAy-4co2gU
