Candid Here & There: Sunsilk Co-Created with Teddy Charles Launch
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 8:54PM Every lady knows how it feels to have just gotten their hair and makeup done. They walk out of the salon with a wider smile and a little extra pep in their step! After walking out of the Sunsilk Co-Created with Teddy Charles launch, I felt like a million dollars (maybe more). Co-creator of the new collection, Teddy Charles, is a world-renowned hairstylist with clientele like Blake Lively, Hayden Panetierre, Cameron Diaz - just to name a few! Plus he's behind the hair at Marchesa, Yigal Azrouel, Rag & Bone, and Badgley Mischka. Known for creating glamorous looks with a touch of bohemian love, Teddy wanted to create a collection that could bring runway home to women everywhere.
Sunsilk set up hair & makeup stations - simliar to Fashion Week - then invited us in for a glam session - complete with photo shoot at the end! What better way to introduce us to the new collection?
Isn't the new packaging sexy?
The collection includes four different sets - each geared to exactly what you want for your hair...
- Hydra TLC is meant to give thirsty, dry hair a long drink of moisture with a formula made with honey and milk protein.
- Daring Volume gives blah and everyday strands a punch of oomph & ahh!
- Captivating Curls tames frizzy curls and adds definition.
- Thermashine is meant for those who can't stay away from heat-styling tools by giving shine and protecting hair with Elastyn-E.
Candid Recommendations: A Hair Experience at Davide Torchio Salon
Going to the hair salon is a treat in itself don't you think? It's one of the indulgences we get to have after a long week or maybe just because (there's nothing wrong with that!). After leaving a hair appointment, what woman doesn't feel instantly gorgeous and glamorous?
After leaving Davide Torchio's chic salon, I not only felt beautiful - I barely wanted to leave! Torchio's chic Lexington salon isn't only easy on the eyes but the epitome of comfort. I've seen many salons that are built more for the aethestics but this one was a winner for both! Of course, I think my favorite part of the salon were Davide's two fur-babies who have complete run of the land. They tossled and played on the salon floor as I watched in delight - I'm such a dog person and they won my heart! The presence of the dogs brought a real sense of coziness that lets each client feel at home while they're styled.
Upon meeting Davide, I have to admit he was the exact opposite of what I had expected. I was thinking he'd be the primadonna hair genius who would mutter a few words then chop away. Davide was warm, funny, and so welcoming! We chatted about organic dog food as he got to know my hair better and I was smitten! He wanted exactly what I wanted - to cut and pop some color into my tresses without going overboard! As I was shampooed and cut, it was such a pleasure to chat with Davide and the other members of his staff. It was like sitting with a group of friends and catching up - all the while getting beautified. A few inches later and with the addition of some gorgeous copper highlights (thank you Tina - she's an amazing colorist), I walked out of Davide's salon with an extra pep in my step.
I take my Candid Recommendations very seriously and I couldn't be happier to suggest Davide's services to you. It's no surprise that names like Brooke Shields, Carmen Electra, and Kristen Bell all flock back to Torchio! It's no only a hair cut, it's a hair experience - make your appointment today!
