Every so often a styling line breaks the mold and shakes the hair industry. 10 years ago Oribe Canales did just that with the release of his signature line. Taking in over 30 years of experience and countless hours of perfecting his craft, Oribe released a line. Not just a styling line, but one that used premium ingredients that made for exceptional results. I have been lucky enough to have been using the line for over 8 years. I love where the line has come from and I can not wait to see what the future holds for this luxury experience.

To celebrate Oribe's 10th anniversary, I thought I would share with you my top 10 Oribe products.


1/2 Shampoo and Conditioner for Moisture and Control. An essential for curly hair.
3  Swept Up Volume Powder Spray. Use at the roots to create envious volume.
4/5 Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner. This is the go to if you want to repair tired, damaged hair.
6 Signature Shampoo. A favorite for all hair types.
7 Rough Luxury Molding Wax. Many men swear by this wax.
8 Superfine Hair Spray. Tames and styles effortlessly.
9 Run Through Detangling Primer. A leave in that provides heat protection and slip with almost no weight.
10. Dry Texturizing Spray. This has a cult following unseen by any other luxury brand.

A Dream Realized: Virago Varnish

12/4/2016

It's not often you get to see a friend fulfill their vision and dream.  Adrienne Wonzo started Virago Varnish in September of 2014.  Not knowing there was a world of indie polish, she pursued her dream of creating a line that was 5 free, BEFORE it was mandated.  She decided to do this because it was safer for her and her clients.  Knowing the long-term effects of DBP and formaldehyde, this is something I can appreciate. We got to chat over a last-minute manicure, I mean seems fitting right?  Here’s what she had to say:

Greatest influences now?
Currently micro-glitter nail polishes influences me the most. Customers are going crazy over our micro glitter polishes.

Current trend that I love:
Coffin and stiletto shaped nails are two awesome shapes that enhance the polish. These two would have to be my favorite trend. 

Current trend that I hate:
Duck feet nails are on the top of that list.
(I would have to agree. There's nothing cute about duck feet nails. And if you don't know what they are, that's a good thing.)

An old Trend that I'd like to see come back:
I'd love to see nail piercing come back. I love the look of a pierced stiletto nail.
(Ha, this takes me back to high school.) 

Projected trend:
I think earth tones are going to be big next year.

Three must haves:
Polish remover 
Cuticle oil
Light colored creme polish 
Favorite magazine :
Nailit, naturally

Favorite actor:
Bette Davis, I love all her movies. 

For now Adrienne has no desire to sell her line to a bigger company.  She still hand makes this line and wants to keep that personal touch active.
