When it comes to hair most of my closest friends know what a freak I can be. I’ve had so many bad cuts over the years that have traumatized me from straying too far from trademark style. So, when the opportunity came along to check out Natasha Sunshine’s Byu-ti Salon in Santa Monica I was all over it.

It just so happened that Te-see and I were attending Sue Wong’s 2011 “Glamour Goddess” Collection that night, and I thought what better time to meet with Natasha and get fabulous red carpet hair. The weather was not exactly perfect, but when I left the salon a few hours later my hair was and stood up all night long. Te-see and I were greeted by Natasha herself who could not have been sweeter, and after a few minutes of chatting we were off and the real fun began.

Natasha Sunshine, hairstylist, entrepreneur, educator and seeker of knowledge began her love affair with beauty at a young age while watching her Aunt Liz work her hair magic, in her French Quarter Salon, Looks. What stood out to Natasha more than anything was her Aunt’s ability not only to make people look better, but more importantly feel better inside and out, and at the young age of five, she made a promise to herself to do the same when she grew up.

Fast forward 30 years later from Louisiana to New York, and now based in Santa Monica, California, Natasha is still striving to GIVE GOODNESS to the world around her. Having established herself as a leading hair stylist and educator in New York and Los Angeles’ fashion and styling circles, Sunshine has had the opportunity to work on the tresses of celebrities and models alike including the manes of Molly Sims, Ivanka Trump, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, Dean Mcdermott and Gael Garcia Bernal. She was most recently featured on The Rachel Ray Show and Tori & Dean.

What sets this salon apart from the others you ask? Well for one Byu-ti Salon listens to your hair needs before touching a strand, and as a new client you go through a 6-Step Consulting System developed by Natasha that assists her expert staff in finding out exactly what your needs are.

Today, Natasha’s goals are to create a salon experience that supersedes the guest’s expectations. Their salon motto is to GIVE GOODNESS from the services they provide to the products they recommend.

“We always begin our consult by saying, we do things a little differently here. We want to make sure that we are taking care of you from your scalp to your ends,” says Natasha.“The clients love it because they feel taken care of and heard. My number one goal was to build a culture amongst the team first so that when a client walks in the door, they can feel that they are in an environment that is special. They can feel that we care.” I felt this from the moment I walked through the door. It was truly an amazing hair experience for me.

I started with a Byu-tu Blender which left my hair shiny, silky, and full. Yay!!! Next after discussing my hair issues with Natasha, she trimmed a tiny bit off the ends, freshened up my layers, and styled my hair using a blow dryer, and curling iron for the sexiest waves evah! The end result was red carpet gorgeous!

I’d be a broken record if I continued to lament over my frizzy locks. One thing that’s really helped me is using shampoo that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfates.

And I’m always on the lookout for products that promise to banish the frizzies. Avon Advance Techniques Lotus Shield definitely helps. A little bit is all I need, maybe the size of a gumball. I rub it into the lower third of my hair and comb it thru. My hair is smoother and way less frizzy. I add just a touch of some kind of hair oil to keep my locks silky after blow drying.

Here’s how it works- “The key to controlling frizz is to control water absorption. Avon’s new lotus-inspired technology adds a water resistant layer to the hair, preventing excess moisture from entering the hair shaft.” I think this product is a bargain at $12!

Next is Fantastic Sam’s Nourishing Serum with Argon Oil. I was pleasantly

surprised at how well this one worked.  Helps with controlling frizz, adds a little nourishment with the argon oil and keeps moisture locked in. Also notable is the Thermal Guard, a spray on formula made to protect hair from heat styling. My hair definitely needs this as I heat style every day.

Ouidad’s products are formulated for people with curly hair. While mine is only half curl, half sort of straight, I find the products work well to keep hair smooth and soft. I especially like the Climate Control Gel. This product was a necessity during  a recent hot spell here in SoCal.

This lightweight gel reduces frizz with “Heat-activated European Wheat Protein that has a shielding effect on hair that breathes with the humidity, protecting the hair shaft and preventing hair from expanding.”  I use it after towel drying my hair.

When I get out of the shower and my hair is still quite wet, I apply the Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner, mostly to the ends of my hair. This gives my dry hair extra hydration without weighing it down.  This one “seals the cuticle layer to prevent frizz and encourage healthier hair and scalp.”
