To celebrate the premiere of L.A.

The entire cast of L.A. Hair made an appearance as well as client and network-mate Tamar Braxton-Herbert (co-star of Braxton Family Values and Tamar & Vince) with husband Vince Herbert.

“I started working on my product line, Kimble Hair Care, twelve years ago and always wanted to educate women about hair care. Having a show is a great platform to give people a glimpse of what I do so they can dig deeper and see what our brand is about. Drama at salons, there’s no way around it, there’s going to be drama. Stylists have drama, and people need to see that. But you’re going to see] a lot of me talking about my business and how I treat my business. It’s important as a female entrepreneur to always do better and be great at how we run our company.“

“Expect fun and unpredictability. Kimberly and I have known each other for years, I’m the person who is not going to be so corporate with her on LA HAIR. I keep it very very real with Kim. She’s my mentor. I’ve worked with her since Beyonce’s first album, ‘Dangerously in Love.’”

Dontay Savoy, Celebrity Hairstylist. Cast of WEtv’s LA HAIR.

“I’m excited about LA HAIR, and it’s all real life! We need more examples of that. We really do work hard to let these networks know we’re not just one-sided. We need the positivity. Kim Kimble is amazing; she whips everybody up and keeps it one hundred with you. We always talk about hair and hair care, and I just really appreciate her being honest. Some people only want your money and at the end of the day. Kim just wants you to have great hair.”

Tamar Braxton-Herbert, Singer and Songwriter. Cast of WEtv’s Braxton Family Values.

“I’m super excited about Kim joining WEtv. She’s a very intelligent business woman and has been doing this for a long time.

TRIBUTE: Whitney Houston, Global Vocal Standard For All Time

Written by Jen Prudhome on . Posted in Blog

Whitney Houston was a woman that sang with conviction, range, and power effortlessly. Her voice is one that will forever be a peak performance caliber, as she set the foundation of vocal performance transcending body and song.

Whitney gave us a perfect range that combined a multiplicity of styles: Blues grit, Jazz scat, Gospel vibrato, melodic Rhythm & Blues arrangements, as well as the power of Soul. She challenged the average performer and veteran to give a song, if they meant it, their all. Whatever was necessary for you to understand the essence of her records and truth behind the emotion, was embodied in her delivery…

Mineral Movement: Rita Patel

Written by Jen Prudhome on . Posted in OBVIOUS Beauty

Rita Patel founded mineral cosmetic collection MiA BelleZZa a year ago in an effort to provide a line of mineral makeup that naturally blends to the wearer’s skin tone, is hypoallergenic, and offers a wide array of intense pigments. The products contain a combination of minerals including titanium dioxide, zinc oxides, and iron oxides. MiA BelleZZa, which translates to my beauty in Italian, is symbolic of new wave developments in the mineral makeup market.

“With MiA BelleZZa everyone can create their own beauty. I wanted to create something that was more of an Italian luxury line and in the mid-price range.”

Rita cites her teenage years as the starting place for her desire to develop the MiA BelleZZa mineral makeup collection. She was born in England, moved to the United States and discovered her interest in the cosmetics industry while in high school. There was not a day where Rita did not wear cosmetics, further stating that she was raised to step out in public wearing no less than eyeliner and lip gloss.

Equally important, FNOLA’s opening ceremony featured Dean’s products as the official hair sponsor for the event.

Filled with contagious enthusiasm and great vibrations, Chaz spoke with us about Beauty in Fashion’s Night Out and how WEN® brought the model’s final looks to life.

Runway Report: Dames in Distress

Written by Jen Prudhome on . Posted in Blog, OBVIOUS Beauty

Wildly fun trend of makeup and hair mash-up on the runway was ever present during the Spring 2011.

This daring look consisted of random brushstroke placement of pigments across the face, hod-podge painted lips, and colorful untamed hair; intended to appear disheveled but is so unusual that its hard to look away…
