Last night in Hollywood, the Smiths were the coolest family on the red carpet at Jaden’s premiere for the remake of Karate Kid. There’s a grand concensus that the true star, style-wise at least, beamed 9-year-old Willow. She boldly trounced the press line with an edgy mohawk, leopard trousers, matching jacket and close to a pound of gold jewelry draping her neck. The whole get-up is awesome, but we are most in awe of her hair. Inspired, we rounded up our June hair deals below. Maybe your stylist could give you The Willow.

Hair booms to be sent off to the Gulf.

When the oil spill struck the Gulf, the devastation was estimated to cost in the billions, not to mention the dozens of species and wildlife that would be affected. According to CNN, since the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon in late April about 40 miles off Louisiana, oil has been gushing into the Gulf at an estimated rate of at least 5,000 barrels a day (210,000 gallons). Some estimates are far higher. The situation is growing dire by the second and seemingly beyond our control.

Bumble & bumble and the Tony Award winning musical “HAIR” teamed up to aid in the relief process by throwing a “cut-in.” From 12 to 4 PM this afternoon, Bumble and bumble salon stylists provided free haircuts to anyone willing to donate their trimmings to the cause. Why hair? We use shampoo to get rid of oil buildup, so we’re putting those same strands to work to help contain the damage.

The hair trimmings collected during this event will be donated to Matter of Trust, an environmental non-profit that has helped clean up oil spills since 1998 by reusing donated hair clippings from hair salons, barber shops, pet groomers, and wool farmers. Stuffing this donated hair into donated nylon stockings, this organization is creating highly absorbent booms to help contain the oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

We snapped a few shots of fashionable service in action.

Patrons waited patiently for cuts to aid the Gulf oil spill.

Seeing this glob of hair on the floor made our hearts smile.

On track to be the worst oil spill in history, The Huffington Post has a photo gallery of the damage. For more information about Matter of Trust and the oil spill relief effort, visit www.matteroftrust.org.

We’d also like to give a special shout out to our reader Sarah Hecksel, who has donated to the cause on her own. A few weeks ago we asked what semi-unusual item you’re carrying around in your bag, and Sarah replied: “The strangest thing in my bag right now is a large ziplock bag full of various human hair, including my own blonde, curly hair. I had a haircut yesterday and the salon wasn’t donating its hair to to help clean up the Exxon oil spill the the Gulf, and thought I’d donate some myself. And yes, I rummaged through the trash bin for the swept up hair. : )” Everyone, follow Sarah’s lead; don’t wait for your salon to donate, and do your part to help this devastating situation.

Here’s a video from MatterofTrust.org of how a boom full of hair and fur works to soak up oil.

Alert all NYC recessionistas! Starting Tuesday, March 10, Ted Gibson salon will be offering true-blue deals called “Recessionista Tuesdays.” How does $75 for a single process color with any stylist (junior or senior) sound? A $40 blowout? I gasped at these prices. More after the jump. (more…)

If you watch TLC’s What Not to Wear you’re familiar with world-renowned hairstylist Nick Arrojo. His long list of accomplishments include, at 21 being the youngest assistant creative director in Vidal Sassoon’s history, education director at New York’s Bumble and Bumble Salon and eventually opened his own salon, Arrojo Studio.

After his successes as a stylist Nick launched a line of products ranging from shampoo and conditioner to styling sprays. His concept for the Arrojo product was simple:

“We want the consumer to be able to pick it up and know exactly what it does inside ten seconds and, as hairdressers working on the salon floor everyday, it had to match our own high expectations of product performance. We rigorously tested and refined each formula until we were completely happy.”

The end result is a no-fuss, high-quality line of hair products, affordable for the average beauty consumer.

I love Arrojo’s Value Kits – super-duper low prices for products I actually use! Score.
