I love recommendations. I love getting a great referral. I love it even more when someone trusts my recommendation. So listen up, readers, I’m about to enlighten you.

Let’s start at the beginning…

Most of you probably have a favorite hair stylist/cutter (whatever you want to call her/him). I’ve moved a lot. I never really stuck with one person mainly because my hair is pretty simple to cut. I just couldn’t justify paying $60, $70, $80, $90 for a haircut! I would hop from place to place, using coupons etc. Once Dallas became a more permanent home, I decided it was time to commit. I mean, I’d already found a dentist I loved, a doctor I loved…you get the gist. So I settled on Lure Salon. That’s where I found Hilary and that is where this story begins.

I love Hilary. People always say that their hair stylist is like their therapist, for 1 hour they chat, gossip, catch-up…that is exactly what Hilary and I do. We had a connection right from the beginning (I should have known I’d love her since she also cuts my other friend Hilary’s hair).

So my first recommendation to you is to go see Hilary at Lure. You won’t regret it (and I’ll get a free conditioning treatment!)

Hilary is a hair-god and when she says I need to own this product, I do not hesitate. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll go buy these two products:


Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - $39

Part dry shampoo, part amazing texture, this stuff works wonders on second day hair. It’s also gives amazing hold for updos. I can’t live without it. The large bottle should last you about 2-3 months depending on how often you use it. It also smells INSANELY amazing.

Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray - $26

I have “thick” hair, meaning my hair is very fine but I have lots of strands. Because of this, my hair often looks limp and has no shape. This stuff is really good. Most thickening sprays make my hair feel waxy and greasy, but this gives me the perfect amount of body without being heavy. Apply to towel dried hair before blow drying.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve already placed an order for these products and if you’re looking to sample more, sign up for Birchbox! $10 a month gets you a whole pack of samples mailed to you!
