| From Daily Candy February 25, 2003 Mop and Go Welcome to hair-appointment hell. Francois? Mon dieu! He eez booked solid for the next free weeks! My god, indeed. You're starting to look like a prize-winning sheepdog at Westminster. What does it take to guarantee a seat in that chair? At this point, winning the lottery looks more likely. Time to take matters into your own hands. But hold up before you grab the scissors, cowgirl, and get yourself the Fringe Kit, which has all the necessary tools for a self-trim: professional hair scissors, a fringe bib, pocket comb, and hair tape. There's even an instruction booklet with styles like the "side swoop," "bits and pieces," and the "pixie." Still reeling from the memory of the Flock of Seagulls mullet you once gave yourself? Don't make the same mistake twice. The kit is meant for between-visits maintenance, not designing a whole new 'do. Now if only there were a kit for at-home dentistry. |

95 East Fringe Benefits Melissa Peverini Helps Clients Get From One Haircut to Another With a Bang Finally: a hair stylist who is not going to try to talk you out of taking a scissors to your own unruly bangs--in fact, she encourages it. Melissa Peverini, the color director and a top stylist at the renowned Cosmo and Company salon in Palm Beach, Fla., has invented Fringe Kit, a cleverly packaged "tool kit" to help women trim their bangs between salon visits. "It started because clients would come in and say, 'I cut my own bangs, you're going to be so upset,'" she says. "I wasn't, but I wanted to give them the tools to do it right. So I thought, why not give them six different styles to pick from?" Marketed as a travel kit ("Sometimes you need a trim around the eyes but not the whole head," Peverini explains), Fringe Kit is also ideal for mom who are constantly trimming their kids' hair, date emergencies or as a fun activity at slumber parties. The kit consists of a bib, professional barber's shears, a comb, tape created specifically for hair ("pink, like your grandmother used to use," Peverini comments), and a booklet showing six different styles and a step-by-step method of achieving each one. Fringe Kit was launched in October, and on the horizon are a baby Fringe Kit (with will contain a pouch for keepsake tresses), a wedding Fringe Kit (including handmade headpieces and tiaras plus pearls to clip to the fringe back) and more. |
