I was approached by David Benjamin’s publicist for a complimentary haircut and I was thrilled to jump on the opportunity after hearing his amazing background. For those of you who aren’t aware, he is a celebrity hairstylist who has over 15 years of experience working in numerous fields including editorial events, bridal prep, photography grooming, fashion and beauty events and even with people in Hollywood! I never thought somebody at that level would offer to do my hair so I didn’t hesitate to say yes.
I want to briefly recap my experience and say that it was short of nothing, but amazing. David is a genuine, kindhearted person and it was such a pleasure meeting and working with him. Our conversation flowed naturally and I admire his humbleness as we talked about his background and experience in the hair industry. I know that he has worked with a lot famous people, but he never flaunted or bragged about his contacts. Instead, he asked me questions and wanted to get to me, my interests and my goals. I felt comfortable throughout the whole process and felt like he’s been doing my hair forever!
I decided to get a simple haircut and blowout because I recently got my hair dyed and cut not too long ago. He suggested we make my hair feel heavier in the back, rather than the front and gave my hair a little more volume and love with the blowout. The whole process was a little over an hour but time flew by because we were constantly talking. Everybody at the salon was also welcoming and I enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would let David do my hair anytime and anywhere.
Here is a before and after picture of my hair, but I have a quick disclaimer. I went in with second day hair and kept my hair in a bun because it was extremely hot that day. My hair is NOT naturally wavy or curly, so I just wanted to disclose that.
As you can see, there isn’t a huge difference, but my hair definitely looks healthier and breathable on the after picture. I am loving my hair right now and think it’s the perfect length and weight for me. I definitely look forward to having David do my hair again in the future if he offers!
