Oribe met with Maggie Mulhern in New York just hours before boarding a plane to LA to prepare Penelope Cruz for the Academy Awards. Using a new product to be launched in May, Oribe did a little backcombing, twisting and turning and VOILA.....Maggie Bardot.
Maggie Mulhern・Beauty and Fashion Director, MODERN SALON
Lucky ME! I received a special invite from Oribe to come "experience" his latest product (to be launched in May). Instead of a big, giant press event...it was just Oribe and me! We met at the new and wonderful 3 Square Studio on West 17th Street in New York City. Although Oribe was getting ready to fly to LA later in the day to prepare Penelope Cruz for the Oscars, he took time out to create a Bardot-esque silhouette on me. The superstar stylist grabbed my hair, prepped large sections with the new product (it's amazing), did a little backcombing, some twisting and turning, a bit of pinning and created this gorgeous look worthy of any special red carpet event. Or in my case....a special dog walking event! I can't wait to give you more details about the product, but I promised to keep my lips sealed until closer to launch date. Meanwhile, haircolor by Beth Minardi yesterday and new shape by Oribe today! I am totally going to win BEST IN SHOW on our Puppy Path!!!!
