The Excellence in Hair Extensions THE EXCELLENCE IN HAIR EXTENSIONS NEW•NOW•NEXT Quality is never a compromise with Capelli Hair Extensions Italian Style. Our advanced technology preserves the virgin hair by depigmentizing the cuticles from the inside out. This ensures that the 100% Remy hair feels luxuriously silky, staying tangle free. Only near invisible bonds and the safest technique for our customers. The Upper East Side has never looked so good, thanks to Gossip Girl’s department head of hair, Jennifer Johnson. The hit CW show follows the lives of New York’s teenage socialites whose job is to be popular, dress perfectly, look flawless and create controversial drama. Gossip Girl’s leading ladies Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen), Leighton Meister (Blair Waldorf) and Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey) bring beauty and fashion to the small screen. Here, Johnson dishes on how she achieves the styles your young clients are coveting. Blonde-haired Serena van der Woodsen always wears a perfectly undone style. “I usually use FHI’s Runway styling iron to achieve her look,” says Johnson. “For summer we aimed for a wavy undone look. For fall I am doing a bit more of a constructed look.” While Serena’s look, like her character, is a bit more laid back, Blair Waldorf, always trying to steal the spotlight, wears a much more polished and constructed look, almost always finished off with a headband. Jenny Humphrey, a middle-class girl trying to find her place in the world of the Manhattan socialites, always sports a different look as she continuously tries to fit in. “You’ll either see her wearing her hair super straight, or loose and curly.”—AML GET THE GOSSIP CELEBRITY ER For Jenny’s curly look, Johnson curls the whole head with a curling iron and then turns to Velcro rollers to set. Johnson touches up character Serena’s loose waves onset. BECAUSE WE STILL CARE ABOUT QUALITY. To achieve Blair’s perfectly polished style, Johnson takes half-inch sections and curls them in different directions to create big curls (as opposed to Serena’s loose waves). She then adorns the ’do with a headband. For the two best friends, yet arch rivals, even their hair styles are in opposition. Serena’s hair drapes loosely while Blair’s is perfectly polished.
