Sally Hershberger's Best Hair Tips for the Holidays

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance, Celebrity Design

Sally Hershberger offers her best tips for the holidays.
For this season's holiday parties, it's all about volume and glam. The holidays are a great time to try something new & different with you hair, Sally Hershberger, the celebrity hair stylist who has salons in New York and Los Angeles, told Luxist what she believes are the best styles to wear during the holidays.

Ponytails
"Ponytails are an easy alternative to an up-do. They are so chic and easy to do at home---perfect for the holidays!," says Hershberger. "First, I like to use a root lifter in the hair like my Shape Up. It boosts the hair from the root and gives amazing texture and hold. Then, blow dry with a round brush to give hair insane volume and polish. Next, loosely pull your hair back and secure it into a ponytail- low or high. Spray Body Fix on the ponytail to give it texture and make it slightly edgy, or keep it smooth and shiny with Smooth Fix. I like to wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin."

Chignon
"The chignon is one of my favorite looks for the holidays," says the celebrity hair stylist. "This style gives off an old Hollywood vibe that is elegant and easy to get at home. Prep your hair as you would a ponytail. I like to keep chignons low right now at the nape of the neck. Wrap the hair around the elastic and secure with pins. For a more polished look, spray Smooth Fix in the hair for a glossy finish. And for a fresher party style, pull some pieces out from around the face and spray a texturizer on the chignon."

Celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger, the master of the shag hair cut, has once again listed her Beverly Hills home. The Real Estalker reports that in addition to her New York home, Hershberger also owns a modern home in Beverly Hills that is a sexy as her tousled hairstyles. The upgraded 1960s modern was on the market briefly in 2007 for $6.5 million but it's back on the MLS for $5.5 million. She picked up the three-bedroom home in 2004 for $2.4 million.

The home is a single story with a gated motor court and has a courtyard with a small pool. The main area of the home is wide open contemporary space with a minimalist fireplace and modern furniture. According to the listing the designer pad had its moment in the spotlight in House & Garden magazine. The listing also points out the sweeping city views and mentions that there are currently tenants in residence on the property.

Luxury Spa Opens in New York's Surrey Hotel

Filed under: Spas

Are you in search of an escape from a bustling life in Manhattan? Or will you be traveling to New York and looking for a luxurious boutique European-style hotel with a spa? Look no further than the recently renovated Surrey Hotel and its beautiful new day spa on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Luxist visited this delightful gem and found it to be the consummate place to rejuvenate the skin and soul.

Spa at the Surrey is a perfect getaway for mothers and daughters looking for a little bonding time, as well as for couples or best friends wanting to relax in a tranquil environment. For New Yorkers, a few hours spent in this spa will have you feeling like you've left the city.

Consider booking a "Half-Day Escape," which is three hours of personalized treatments including a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. Those seeking a little more "me" time, might consider a "Full Day Escape" which includes five and a half hours of personalized treatments. Guests can order a gourmet lunch from the Café Boulud, which is located on the ground floor of the Surrey.

Sally Hershberger Intros Luxe Layers Hair Stying Gel

Filed under: Services, Celebrity Design

Sally Hershberger Intros Luxe Layers Hair Stying GelCelebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger invited a few lucky bloggers to her downtown NYC salon on September 3 for the unveiling of her newest hairstyling product, Luxe Layers Protective Blow Out Gel, available exclusively on HSN. I was there to see Hershberger in action, which was a real treat, because cuts with her run $800, so I likely won't be a client anytime soon. Note that this doesn't mean I wasn't secretly hoping she'd pull me from the audience for an impromptu fix of my style. Alas, that didn't happen, but Hershberger did demonstrate the product on a few models. The video of the event is on Hershberger's homepage now.

Luxe Layers is easy just to use -- just a few pumps, rubbed in your hands, then spread throughout your hair, provides thermal protection/prevents against heat damage, seals against color wash-out, protects against the sun and environmental aggressors, and blocks humidity and static to minimize frizz and flyaways. It's made from a proprietary complex of cationic polymers, natural cellulose, and amino acids, is blended with silk and cashmere extracts for internal strength with superior smoothing and long-lasting styling effect. It's alcohol-free, not tested on animals, does not contain animal products or drying solvents, and is non-silicone based, so it won't weigh down even fine hair. Hershberger says it also helps blow-outs last longer.

Luxe layers ($18.00/5 oz.) is just one of Hershberger's full line of products, all reasonably priced. You can get her Luxe Layers Trio on HSN, or just try my new favorite, Genius Spray Wax.

Seeing the product demonstrated live was much better than Hershberger just telling us about it. You can catch Hershberger on HSN doing just this on September 8 at 1 a.m., 8 a.m., and 7 p.m., and on September 9 at 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. To see her demonstrate other products, check out her styling tips videos.
