Stephen Knoll New York Gifting Event

I've been following Stephen Knoll on twitter for some time and was delighted when his PR team agreed to partner with us on a promotion. Stephen's luxurious Madison Avenue salon is the preferred destination for thousands of women who demand the very best for their hair. Their client list includes celebrities, models and men and women who travel from all over the world to seek Stephen's expert haircutting and styling advice. A visit is definitely on my wish list! If you're not lucky enough to visit the 3,000 square foot salon, don't fret. Stephen has developed a line of hair care products to use at home. We received a gift tote filled with  products to try including ~

Deep Moisture Shampoo ~

I'm the first to admit, I'm a little fanatical about my hair so I was really anxious to try Stephen's line. I received the products just as I was leaving for Florida which, even at this time of year, I found to have "frizzy" weather in the mornings. The shampoo has an exceptionally lovely scent and provides gentle cleansing. A 10.1 oz. bottle retails for $19.50.


Deep Moisture Conditioner ~

Between swimming in the summer, heat in the winter, and regular coloring, highlighting, and blow drying, my poor hair never gets a break. This is a creamy conditioner which I combed through my hair in the shower leaving it silky soft. A 10.1 oz. bottle retails for $21.50.


Deep Treatment Masque ~

This is the product I was most looking forward to trying. I used less than a tablespoon size in place of the moisturizing conditioner and left it on for 5 minutes. It seemed to mend my split ends and reduced the frizz. As with the shampoo and conditioner, it contains the same beautiful scent. A 9.1 oz. jar retails for $42.50.


Super Smoothing Lotion ~

I have naturally curly hair but I rarely, if ever, wear it curly. I pull it, twist it, iron it, blow it, curl it and do everything else it seems to smooth it. Before straighteners were ever invented {back in the dark ages when I was a teenager}, my best friend, Theresa, used to iron my hair....with a real iron! I worked about a quarter-size of this through my hair along with the styling lotion below and my hair was super smooth and frizz free. The lotion also did a great job at detangling my wet hair. A little goes a long way with this product, I recommend using about a nickle-size amount. A 5.1 oz. bottle retails for $23.50.


Hydro Repair Mist Styling Lotion ~

This was my favorite product from Stephen's line. It can be used in between shampoos when hair needs a little refreshing. I used it in the morning to blowout my bangs and on areas that needed some attention. After a spritz here and there and blow drying, it looked as though I had just styled my hair. If you are curious if Stephen's products will work for you, this is the product I would try first. You will be hooked! A 6.7 oz. bottle retails for $23.50.

Each time I used these products, my hair looked and smelled as though I just stepped out of the salon. It was shiny, smooth, and had a lot less frizz....and best of all, it remained that way until the next shampoo!  Another thing I love about this company is they clearly "get" social media so be sure to connect with them on Facebook and Twitter. The entire line is available at Stephen Knoll. Free shipping with a $75 purchase!
