American Crew to Release New Collection for 2009
Hair gurus Craig Hanson, director of artistic services, Colomer Salon Division, and Paul Wilson, American Crew artistic director, came together at Pier 59 Studios West in Santa Monica, CA, late last summer to collaborate with a team on a photo shoot for the company's much-anticipated 2009 collection. "This year's release features overtly classic shapes with deep parts and disconnection off the perimeter," said Wilson about the collection, which will debut exclusively in American Salon's February 2009 issue. "We've lived through that whole flat iron thing where we tried to control hair," Hanson said. "Now we're letting hairstyles have personality and spontaneity by showing more wave and texture." —K.D.

Klorane Supports U.S. Troops During the Holidays
Klorane Cosmetics, a division of France-based Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmétique, donated 8,000 bottles of their Ultra Soft, Zen Spirit and Morning Wake-up shower gels to U.S. troops for the holiday season. Klorane, which produces a range of natural hair and body products, partnered with two Texas-based nonprofit organizations, Christmas For Our Troops and the U.S. Wounded Soldier Foundation, which provide individual Christmas boxes filled with various gifts and necessities to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We are proud to be able to make this contribution of Klorane products to the men and women who diligently protect and serve our country and hope this small gesture shows that we are thinking of them and appreciate all that they do," said Thierry Chenain, president of Klorane. —L.M.
