Their Favorite Things
Session stylists need heat appliances they can rely on, especially during fashion week. Lori Morris asked six of them to dish about their favorites.
Hairstylist, GUIDO PALAU
 |
Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau loves his BaByliss PRO GT Gold Titanium Marcel Curling Iron. "I look for tools that let me produce great work, get really hot and don't break after a few shows." babylisspro.co.uk
 |
If you're seeking fast results, check out the 1800-watt HairArt H3000 Tourmaline Dryer, which is infused with tourmaline technology to dry hair in one-third of the time of regular dryers. hairartproducts.com
 |
Hairstylist, TRAVIS SPECK
 |
Bumble and bumble's Travis Speck calls the Turbo Power Turbo 2800 Silverado Dryer "a hairstylist's must-have." Why? How about the ergonomic design, customizable heat settings and ability to dry even the most unruly hair fast. turbopowerinc.com
 |
Speck also cites fast-heating tools as essential when working backstage at shows. The FHI Heat Runway employs patented Nano-Fuzeion technology and an Integrated Ceramic Heating System to deliver high heat and mega shine. fhiheat.com
 |
Hairstylist, JIMMY PAUL
 |
Bumble and bumble's Jimmy Paul likes the Linea Pro C2 Digital Flat Iron, which features advanced titanium technology to produce more negative ions and far-infrared rays for fast, even heat. linea-pro.com
 |
The innovative SalonTech Silicone Hairstyling Iron uses patented silicone plates to grab every strand and smooth hair in just one stroke for speedier results and less wrist strain.877/278-9030
 |
Hairstylist, JENNY BALDING
 |
Redken's Jenny Balding is a big fan of T3 tools. "You need tools that will help you to work fast, but also yield fantastic results," she says. The lightweight T3 Bespoke Evolution dryer has 2000 watts of power to speed up drying time. t3micro.com
 |
The InfraShine RedLine Iron also produces great results fast. The iron heats up in seconds and uses infrared heat from its ceramic multilayered plates to maintain and lock in hair's natural shine. infrashine.com
 |
Hairstylist, DAVID CRUZ
 |
Redken's David Cruz always carries fast-heating Hot Tools curling irons. "I need to get 20 girls looking good and ready to go in two hours or less," he says. The Hot Tools 1" Professional Marcel Iron restores heat loss quickly. hottools.com
 |
Cruz also likes tools that are "compact and light enough to carry from job to job." Sounds like the 1875-watt Andis Ceramic Tourmaline Hair Dryer, which is ultralightweight but also has a high-velocity, hyper DC motor. andis.com
 |
Hairstylist, ORLANDO PITA
 |
Orlando Pita, who developed a line of T3 styling products, uses the brand's tools for all of his backstage work. The T3 PRO.EverTwirl has a tourmaline- and silver-infused barrel that, according to Pita, "gives curls a very shiny and smooth finish." t3micro.com
 |
For Pita, versatility is key. The Cricket Centrix Technique 1" Styling Iron features rounded plates to enable both straightening and curling. The iron also uses ionic/ceramic technology for damage-free results. cricketco.com
