Schwarzkopf Professional’s Signature Series landed in Los Angeles this past Monday, August 31st, bringing master hairstylist and global educator Ashlee Norman — a member of the Schwarzkopf Professional Digital Artistic Team with more than 15 years of experience in blonding, balayage, precision cutting and color theory — to Sholé Beverly Hills Salon for a full-day masterclass on her “AirTouched ColorMelt: Advanced Reverse Balayage” technique.

No surprise, Ariana Madix stunned at the “Love Island USA” reunion, which streamed earlier this week via Peacock. Seated alongside Andy Cohen, Madix was fully regal. Her hairstylist, Carl Bembrdige, tells us, that was by design. “The vision for her hair for the reunion was that I wanted it to be more grand. It was the finale on top of the finale.

After six years of building a following almost entirely through word of mouth and consumer love, Dae is stepping into a new era — and they’re doing it by doubling down on the product that got them here. As of today, the brand has launched “Most Likely To Do The Most,” its first-ever integrated brand campaign, and the star of the show is a face you already know; the Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream. Cactus Fruit isn’t just Dae’s best-seller — it’s a bona fide category leader.

The Love Island USA season 8 reunion brought the drama back to our screens, and the beauty was just as loud. Host Ariana Madix’s go-to, the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, made its way onto three of the season’s “Core Four”: Trinity Tatum, Melanie Moreno, and Aniya Harvey, all glammed up in the foundation and concealer. Tatum and Moreno debuted the brand’s new Edge Lip Shaping Pencil.

Pharmaceutical skincare brand, Vivier, has just launched its newest innovation, the HA Peptides Lip Enhancer, formulated for those with age-related lip changes, chronic dryness, or anyone maintaining their results between filler appointments. It’s designed to do a lot more than the average balm or gloss — landing in the intersection of skincare science and aesthetic medicine.

The salon professional industry lost one of its true originals. Brad Johns, the colorist behind the buttery blonde and the precision highlighting technique known as chunking, passed on August 27th at age 71 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Johns’ path to becoming one of the world’s top colorists started far from a salon chair. Raised in a housing project in Pittsburgh, he moved to New York after high school to study acting at NYU’s Stella Adler School of Acting.

There’s nothing better than 90s-hair — big and bouncy, but never too perfect. Nicole Kidman’s “Practical Magic 2” LA Premiere look, a major blowout was a total throwback to her then-signature curls. Celebrity Hairstylist Adir Abergel was responsible for the style and shared how it all came together. “The goal was undone in the best way — loose, full curls with a ton of body, a high-shine finish, and that deep side part that gives the whole look a sexier, more grown-out blowout feel,” Abergel says.

Witchy premiere hair took a more literal turn for actress Maisie Williams last night, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. For the Los Angeles “Practical Magic 2” premiere, Hawkins built the look around “Protection Plaits” — two braid witches have historically been used as an energetic shield — resulting in something strong and unmistakably on-theme. “For Maisie Williams’ ‘Practical Magic’ premiere look, we wanted something strong, powerful, and obviously a little witchy.

Premiere season for “Practical Magic 2” is bringing some seriously witchy hair energy, and actress Joey King’s look for the Los Angeles premiere is proof. Celebrity hairstylist and frequent collaborator Rena Calhoun pulled from early Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite imagery to create something soft, romantic, and just mysterious enough to nod to the film’s supernatural themes — all while letting King’s structured, corseted gown do the talking.

Game recognize game. Olivia Rodrigo personally called Garbage front woman, Shirley Manson, to invite her to play at the “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” singer’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival. When it came time to perform, Manson, a titan of rock and an icon of Gen X beauty and fashion, was expectedly ferocious, belting through hit after hit with her signature panache.
