Now You Can Have A “Stylist” At Your Fingertips, Literally

Wish you had a stylist at your finger tips daily?  Damn, I do.  I asked Mark Garrison a few weeks ago when he cut my friends hair for Pantene if he styles his girlfriend’s hair every day.  At first I was jealous of her, to be dating a stylist, but after listening to his answer, I was super jealous!  He said no.  His reason – she wakes up with gorgeous, non-frizzy, smooth hair daily so he doesn’t even need to touch it.

Well, for those of us who don’t wake up like that and are affected by everything from damage, the weather and just a simple bad hair day, there’s hope  – yes, at your finger tips.  Brilliant Color and Beauty Today Local Hair Day Forecast just launched!  So what is it?  Put in

BeautySweetSpot Reader Donates 12″ of Hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Everyday I receive products in the mail from different companies that want me to try them for possible review on BeautySweetSpot.  But in October I received a mailing from Pantene that really caught my attention.  It wasn’t the shampoos and conditioners from their Beautiful Lengths collection that made me stop and think, it was an 8″ ruler included in the bag.

That was my first introduction to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, Pantene’s partnership with the American Cancer Society in which they make free wigs for adult women with cancer.  I knew right away I wanted to partner with them.  One of my best friends Melanie has been growing out her hair to donate it.  After a bit of back and forth she agreed she was ready to break up with her long locks and go under the scissors for Pantene.

This weekend we visited the Mark Garrison Salon in NYC and where Mark Garrison himself was ready to chop away.  Previously a Locks of Love cutter, he partnered with Pantene years ago to offer free cuts for his customers who donate their hair on Wednesdays at his salon and half off any other day because he believes in their work.

“I like working with Pantene over Locks of Love because their messaging is clear,” Garrison said.  ”You know exactly who

Mark Garrison Cut & Color Giveaway

This week my best friend and I were treated to blow outs at the Mark Garrison Salon on East 60th St. in NYC.  (I know, rough job).  Known for being a master artist with a pair of sheers, I was a little upset with myself that I wouldn’t let him put his scissors anywhere near my new extensions, but I was lucky enough to have him give me a blowout (that’s now on it’s 3rd day).

My best friend Adrienne and I couldn’t help but notice how attractive he was, but of course assumed he was gay.  Big mistake on my part!  After talking with Amber Katz of BeautyBloggingJunkie last night who had her hair cut by him the same day, I found out I was dead wrong.  Turns out, she had a crush too.  With all of the beauty events I attend, it would be just fantastic to get scooped up by an adorable, straight hair dresser!  I don’t know what I’d be more excited about, a new boy or a live in hair dresser.

Want your hair cut and colored by Mark.  Yea, you do!  But make sure you go in dressed to the nines! I’m giving one lucky BeautySweetSpot reader the opportunity to have his hands in your hair (and a great flirting session).  Here’s how to win:
