Toni & Guy & Rabecka

Tonyguycrop_2 I don't know why anyone lets me have a beauty blog, as I haven't had a haircut since this one in May of 2005.  Yep, that's right, 2005.  So yesterday I took myself to Toni & Guy here in Portland, Oregon, where a brilliant woman named Rabecka L. B. Ruberg gave me a sexier, more sophnisticatedly deranged version of the haircut my best friend gave me in 1979.  I think she actually performed a Vulcan Mind Meld during the shampoo, as she could not have come any closer to what I had in my mind's eye--i.e., Catherine Deneuve if she'd been one of Charlie's Angels.

Oh, that's really lovely! I've been considering a shaggy 70s do myself for when I got bored of my current early yoko ono look. Most encouraging!

Hillary, you nailed the look and it's one that suits you well. Feminine! My fear of salons, or more precisely salon mirrors and lighting, has left me with no choice but to cut my own hair. I managed to craft something soft and jagged, unbalanced yet sensible, very much fitting with my personality. It was so liberating that I'm planning a book around it.

Hillary, wow ur hair and you look like you did in 1980: extreme beauty. ken law, atlanta, georgia

About


  • What do you get when you throw a true beauty obsessive in Europe together with a veteran beauty journalist in LA? Not much room on the bathroom shelves, that's for sure. Make-up, hair products, skincare, perfume, salons, spas, luxury hotels with toiletries and treatments that make us never want to go home - if we've left anything out, you can pry our mirrors from our cold, dead, perfectly manicured hands.
