Razzle Dazzle Holiday Hair

When I saw these backstage photos from Dior, Paris Fashion

Week, my first thoughts were "holiday party hair."
Be the bombshell this holiday season by wearing one
of these dresses accompanied by sleek, retro, pinned waves.

Cute boy on arm doesn't hurt a person either....

Creating "The International Hair Guide" & My Favorite Salon Revealed!

psssssssssst!

You may already know...

I'm on a HUNT.

I'm searching far and wide across all cities and all countries for the most talented hair stylists in the world. You see, I'm sick of scouring magazines only to find the same old boring, overpriced hair salons featured repeatedly.  You know what I'm talking about, right?  Ones that force you to shell out an arm, a leg and a down payment on a house for a chance to sit in a busy, overbooked stylist's chair.  You feel like for this price, you should be getting the best haircut and color of your life...but then, not so much...Maybe I sound bitter, but I think I'm quite hopeful.  I'm setting out to collect the names of the most fabulous hair people across the globe.  Then I'll share them right here, as a permanent fixture on my blog.  Let's save ourselves countless hours of searching and thousands of hard earned dollars.

Let's be subversive, start a hair raising revolution and vow to never waste money on an cut or color again!

Share your favorite hair stylist's information here and I'll include

them in The Beauty File's International Hair Guide.  Pass this onto your
beauty loving friends.  The more the merrier!

The list will be as long and far-reaching as YOU all.

If you love your stylist or colorist and you want the world to know,

share it with me, right here!

Now it's my turn.
