REBECCA MINKOFF SHOW Wednesday, February 10, 2010
PRIVÉ STYLIST: Pete Lennon, Key hair stylist, Aaron Grenia, Elle Loutraris, Michael Donahoo and Irene Serrano
PRIVÉ PRODUCTS: Privé Finishing Texture Spray, Privé Finishing Spray and Privé Root Amplifier
STYLE: There were two hair styles-one up and one down. They were inspired by the effortlessly, chic French woman who walks out of her apartment from bed and looks flawless, put together, but not too structured.
Look # 1: "Top Bun." This is a loose bun high on the top of the head. It is very loose and unstructured, but still gives off that put together feel.

Finished 'Chic French Woman" Look # 1
Look # 2: "Bed Head." This is a soft, textured look worn down. To get an unforced look, stylists use lots of Finishing Texture Spray. It doesn't weigh down the hair and it adds workable texture to locks.

GARY GRAHAM SHOW Saturday, February 13, 2010
PRIVÉ STYLIST: Pete Lennon, Key Hair stylist, Aaron Grenia, Elle Loutraris, Rachael Coppola, Elena Kochnev and Susan "Katie" Martinez
PRIVÉ PRODUCTS: Privé Finishing Texture Spray, Privé Finishing Spray and Privé's Root Amplifier
STYLE: Inspired by Gary Graham shoes' boxy and innovative look, Privé stylists went for a hairdo that was structured, severe and futuristic. This updo is an extreme take on the classic French twist, stretching the look so it appears blown back in an almost cone-like fashion for a futuristic, punk-feel. The hair style pays homage to the square-like platform shoes Graham designed for the show.

ARAKS SHOW
Sunday, February 14, 2010
PRIVÉ STYLIST: Pete Lennon, Key Hair stylist, Aaron Grenia, Elle Loutraris, Irene Serrano and Elena Kochnev
PRIVÉ PRODUCTS: Privé Finishing Texture Spray, Privé Finishing Spray, Privé's Root Amplifier and Privé Shining Weightless Amplifier
STYLE: Pete incorporated a masculine and structured feel but with a feminine sexiness to it - playing off a ballerina bun. To achieve this combination of hard softness, Privé stylists braided the ponytail and then created a knotted bun on the crown of the head.
While the knotted look added stiffness, the braid added femininity to the look. Careful not to make the look too stiff and structured, Privé stylists opted to pull wisps of hair from the head rather than sleek back the hair.
