Yeah, I know everyone’s doing it, but I still feel strange and overpowered by my new fiery red hair. Find out what made me do it, what how I feel post-op, and why I think you should consider doing “it” too.  Yesterday was Saturday and it started just like any other, with me going to [...]

Kevin Murphy put his new COLOR.BUG in my hair…in the bathroom at Le Select Bistro. Kevin Murphy is an Australian hair stylist-come-manufacturer of wicked products like Angel.Wash and beach-y effect creator, Hair. Resort. Spray.
