KEVIN.MURPHY Launches New Products
Kevin Murphy took me out to lunch to not just tell me about…but to demonstrate on me the power of his new freshly launched products: TEXTURE.MASTER and HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY
Knock my socks off!
In November, I am getting married! My fiancé and I are planning a traditional wedding -- big church, lots of guests, huge bridal party and a big bash at a downtown hotel afterwards.
Wedding Updo #5, Michael Anthony Salons
For Laurel's fifth wedding updo, we traveled to the north side of Chicago to visit one of the four Michael Anthony Salons. We met with master stylist Matina Koronakos, who created a romantic, but modern gathering of loose curls at the crown. It was big and beautiful. Don't be fooled by the casual and soft look -- every strand was thought out and carefully pinned.
Wedding Updo #4, Avalon Salon
For this week's bridal updo, we had the chance to visit some good friends of Modern -- and they're neighbors too! Bonnie Conte and Shyla Kenrick are co-owners of Avalon Salon & Day Spa in Deer Park, Illinois, only 15 minutes from the Modern offices. When they heard about our wedding trials, Shyla jumped in with an offer to try her hand at taming Laurel's hair. The result was one of the coolest styles we've seen yet. We asked for avant garde and she delivered!
Wedding Updo #3, Salon 1800
Any of you who know Modern editor and bride-to-be, Laurel Smoke, know she's no shrinking violet. So when the creative director from Salon 1800 used the words "big" and "bold" in her e-mail, we knew Laurel would have to check it out. Extra points go to Becki for describing the bun she imagined as "a la Carrie Bradshaw." Sold!
Wedding Updo #2, Salon Coccole
The hair journey continues…this week bride-to-be and editor of Modern, Laurel Smoke, and I journeyed to the Chicago suburb of Lake Zurich to visit Salon Coccole for her second uber updo. We also picked up some great hair and make-up advice to share with you as you approach your fall wedding and homecoming season.
Wedding Updo #1, Ruby Room
As many of you know, Modern editor Laurel Smoke is getting married this November and Chicago-area stylists have been eager to prove their updo prowess on her tresses.
Wedding Updo #6, Prink Salon
In the final installment of Laurel’s wedding updo competition, we took a trip to downtown Chicago’s Prink, where co-owner Rachel Glenn showed us her big, bold, beautiful updo that took our breath away.
