STACY IGEL: Boy Meets Girl Meets Vince Smith Hair Experience

Boy Meets Girl Meets Vince Smith Hair Experience

April 11, 2011

DJ Blue Steel and I heading downtown to the Vince Smith Hair Experience, for a long overdue haircut.

While Tara Smith, our UK-based good friend and celebrity hair stylist, has been jet-setting around the world selling her haircare range and prepping her clients for movies and awards shows, my hair has gotten completely out of control. Thanks to my friends at Bella PR, we were given the opportunity to visit the uber-talented Vince Smith, proprietor of the salon, the Vince Smith Hair Experience in Battery Park. and let me tell you... it was definitely an AMAZING experience!

This is Vince and I before we started on what would be a four-hour journey. normally, it doesn't take that long but, as you can see, it's not every day someone comes in with A HUGE MISSING CLUMP OF HAIR from the constant blow drying and brushing without using detangler... Yikes! But not to worry, because Vince put together a great regimen for me and set me straight.


1. Vince promising me he won't cut off all of my hair. 2. Vince espousing the virtues of layers 3. Vince convincing me not to be afraid of a little dye in my virgin hair (I finally broke down after all the years). 4. DJ Blue Steel goes from Bradley Cooper in the opening credits of Limitless to the scene where he's making out with Abby Cornish... except I'm Abby Cornish... and we're eating Chinese Food in bed and Watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" reruns... F my life (J.K).

Sorry about the lack of volume, I was trying out my new Droid and it failed...

The happiest Boy Meets After Girl ever!

I am so in love with my new look and regimen (and DJ Blue Steel's too). Thanks again Vince!!
