Exclusive Kat

Are you ready for the exclusive…


Who doesn't love a day of being pampered?! On a wet, rainy and semi humid air day in the city I stopped over at the Pierre Michel Salon for the Beauty & the Braid event. I'm at the mercy of the weather forecast for hair styles so when summer finally comes and the NYC air thick is full and of humidity having a braided hair style keeps my hair looking like I put some effort into it and allows me to be event ready at a moments notice! If you haven't been to the Pierre Michel Salon, its a beautiful salon with an accommodating staff there to make you feel at ease. This was my second appointment at the salon, my first trip I got deep moisturizing hair mask (by moroccan oil, a color rinse (demi-permenat hair color) and a glossing treatment. I'm not a fan of the maintenance needed for permanent hair color so this was perfect for me and looked amazing (I really should do it again)! 

Back to the braids, below are some pics of my hair and some of the other girls who had different gorgeous styles all done by Jerome Lordet! As a special treat I also got my make up done by Stacey Menzer (Stay Glam Beauty). She did a wonderful job and really took my concerns and questions seriously. I rarely wear foundation because my pores get blocked really easily, so she used a nice water based primer that would protect my skin and put on a very light coverage for a natural foundation look. For the dramatic eye she used some of my top color choices and a rich nude tone for my lips. I got so many compliments that I decided to make plans with a friend to make the most of the evening!

FYI ladies for $75, get a wash, blow dry and braid style at Pierre Michel!

No matter what you're doing your style probably needs to work overtime. I'm still trying to finalize my plans, but I already know its going to be a day to night affair. Forecast is hot & sunny I will be prepared with water, sunscreen lip gloss & a smile. Here are some products that I love and use regularly to help me look my best…

I snuck out for a lunch break (unheard of at my office) and headed uptown for the Lee Stafford launch. Like most girls, I'm obsessed with great hair and any product that says it will make my dreams come true…I'll try it! So when I received this invitation I just couldn't say no :) Held at this beautiful penthouse loft with nice wood floors and clean white walls; a perfect blank canvas for Lee's pink products to pop. They even had pink personalized m&m's on all the tables. Needless to say I had more than my fair share. While waiting for the presentation to start, I managed to meet a few people. One lady was particularly interesting and told me the history of the loft and the building. Like how this used to be a major music building in the past and Billy Holiday used to come to this very same place! Definitely one of the aspects I love about NY, you can't go anywhere without running into history and where're constantly making it with all the chaos that goes on here. As the rest of the guest started arriving Lee began the presentation explaining about his life and products which are kind of one in the same. He was very engaging and funny. His line is sold all around the world…35 countries to be exact. I love the fact that it contains moroccan oil. The smell, non greasy feel and the benefits. Believe it or not I used to live in Morocco for a year and vividly remember how all my friends and women in general had amazing hair. I'm currently in the process of growing mine back out, which is extremely annoying but my hair has never felt healthier! I'm excited to try his hair growth treatment, there are tons of raving reviews on youtube about it.. I'll let you know how it turns out, lol.  The Lee Stafford Hairline Collection will be available in Duane Reade and Ulta stores.  "Have fun, look wicked, smell beautiful" (Lee)
