I'm really excited because I'm going to an Emmy party on Sunday. I love TV. I mean, like a TV in every room, love TV. Plus, having worked in Hollywood for years, I know a lot of people who are at the show and parties. Famous and behind the scenes famous people. Hollywood is a small town. So, imagine the small town coincidence that happened to me at the BlogHer conference in Chicago in July: I had been invited by Suave Professionals to stop by their booth to check out the Suave Professionals line of products and to get my hair done. I sat down in stylist Anna Vidito's chair and learned that she is a stylist at Lukaro Salon in Beverly Hills. The other stylist working with her was Luke O'Connor, owner of Lukaro, and celebrity stylist for Suave Professionals. It just so happens that the only person I allow to touch my eyebrows, Robert Bolanos, is at Lukaro! Anna, Luke and I all got a kick out of the connection. I love Lukaro's space, it has a really unique, sunny, Spanish courtyard feel, right in the middle of Beverly Hills. Everyone who works there is so nice and welcoming. If you are in LA and want a fun, glamorous salon experience, book an appointment at Lukaro. With that coincidental connection out of the way, Anna, set about helping me figure out an easy hair styling routine and explained how to do it and which Suave products to use. When I even get the chance to wash my hair (that's what happens with two toddlers) I tend to just let it air dry. Anna's tips showed me how I could actually do my hair in five minutes! I even got full size samples of each of the products Anna used on my hair. Later that evening I got a chance to speak with Anna and Luke again at the party Suave Professionals hosted at Roof on the Wit Hotel. The party was a blast and The Wit is THE place to be in Chicago. Luke, Anna and I got to talk more about The Suave Professionals line. Our conversation really gave me a whole new perspective on Suave. To be honest, I tend to be a hair product snob, buying expensive products only available at salons. The fact that Suave is available at stores and is less expensive is really appealing. I'm really happy I got to use the products at home and create the same salon look that Anna gave me in Chicago. This just proves that you don't have to buy expensive products to have great hair.
Here is where it all comes together: The Suave team contacted me this week to tell me some fun news. Actress Kate Walsh who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery on “Private Practice” is putting America in the stylists’ chair and asking them to choose her hairstyle for the award show this Sunday! Suave Celebrity Stylist Luke O’Connor will be styling her hair for the show, but first, she is asking fans to visit www.SuaveStyledForASteal.com to view and vote for their favorite hair style for her to rock on the red carpet. After voting, visitors can enter for a chance to win one of 100 red carpet swag bags and download coupons for Suave Professionals products. They will also be sending out Luke’s tips on how to get the look after the show… so you can recreate it at home. I swear, Luke and his team make it so easy to style your own hair. Go ahead and vote for Kate's hairstyle, you can vote every day up until the Emmys. I'll be on the lookout for Kate this Sunday. Won't it be funny if we end up at the same party? Luckily, I know how to do my hair...Even if I have no idea what I'm going to wear...

Do you like Private Practice? It's the only show I'm waiting for in the fall season. I hope you had fun at the Emmy party.
I use and love the Suave volumizer spray. Got it at BlogHer.
