The Select and Start News Report: 03.05.07

Genius in a bottle

STEVEN Lake believes that every girl, regardless of shape, size, age or color, deserves to look like a celebrity at all times. Whether she’s a middle-aged housewife who always has a long list of chores or a hapless assistant who has truckloads of errands from her boss, a girl always has to look her best.

The top Hollywood celebrity hairstylist, who was recently in town to spearhead the launching of shampoo Cream Silk’s latest campaign, Ministry of Style, believes that a well-maintained head of locks can do a person a world of good.

“Sexy hair never goes out of style,” said Lake, who has done hairstyling work with numerous musicians, celebrities, and advertising all over the world for years.

Lake said that one doesn’t have to go to the salon every day to achieve a crowning glory that is worth a space in the pages of Vanity Fair or on the cover of Vogue.
