Hair today: Wake up blah, boring tresses with these fun-to-use products

by Heather Bouzan | May 05, 2008
We like the sound of "cotton-infused shampoo" - it evokes images of soft, full tresses lightly mussed by a gentle breeze. Leave it to the folks at Fresh to harness the power of the fluffy stuff with Fresh Cotton Shampoo ($26), which its works...

New on Newbury

by Heather Bouzan | May 05, 2008
The busy hair salon that's a whirlwind of hairspray, gossip, and reformed split ends; the subdued, Zen-like spa that calms you instantly - they both have their place. Newbury Street is a mecca of the former, but the latter can be more difficult to...

by Heather Bouzan | May 05, 2008
When you step into new South End shoes-and-accessories boutique Leokadia (667 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.247.SHOE), the first thing you'll probably do is recognize owner Jessica Lynn. Actually, scratch that - the first thing you'll do is admire...

Style Spy: Keeping an eye on Lisa Proulx

by Erica Corsano | May 02, 2008
I'm an observant girl. I love to people-watch, and I’m always checking out the outfits on just about everyone around me. No, I don’t do it in a nasty “Oh my God, did she really wear that out in public” kind of way; I’m usually just looking for a little...

Grab bag

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
What's the fun in breezing through a department store in search of this season's It Bag? Sometimes we prefer the intrigue of an eBay browse, a sample sale, or the second annual "What's in a Bag?" handbag auction at the Boston Harbor...

Beauty for the beasts

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
Is it us, or are Boston guys looking hotter these days? Or maybe they're just better groomed, given the preponderance of swank, men-friendly salons popping up all over the city. We already told you about the boys-club feel of the 379 Club (379 Cambridge...

by Heather Bouzan | January 28, 2008
The North End has been gaining ground as a shopping destination with the opening of a number of swank urban boutiques that sell far more than just World Cup T-shirts for tourists. Now the area is poised to become a beauty destination, too: in addition...

By George

by Heather Bouzan | December 12, 2007
We'd never accuse William George of going all suburban on us - he's far too stylish and sophisticated for that. But the man at the helm of the James Joseph hair empire has broadened his horizons beyond Back Bay, opening his third salon, the second...

Wear to party

by Heather Bouzan | November 30, 2007
When we were six, we loved draping ourselves in discarded bridesmaid dresses and prancing around in oversized high heels. Now, local designer Jess Meyer of Myre Designs sparks our nostalgia with her new Myre Studio Parties . Groups of five to 20 can book...

Discount ’dos

by Heather Bouzan | November 30, 2007
Our mother trained us to clip coupons, keep credit-card balances low, and always buy on sale. But she insists it's never worth it to skimp on good grooming. We think she'll reconsider when she hears about the whole range of freebies being offered...
