Jennifer Tilly

I had my own glamour moments this week with Hollywood actress Jennifer Tilly.

She was in town, staying nearby and playing cards… at a world class poker tournament!

If you missed Bullets over Broadway, watch it. V funny.

She mentioned a couple of new films coming up, including another comedy – 30 Beats – which is due out next year.

SATURDAY 17 October… the draw

// October 15th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Competitions, October 2009

Don’t forget this Saturday – 17 October – is our first draw.

Only subscribers to my blog go into the hat and the winning prize is £100 worth of hair treatments at the salon to be used within a month.

What’s in it for me? I get to send my subscribers a short topline of each new blog entry I post. It’s a way to keep in touch and let the world… aka you (and hopefully, your friends) know what we do.

Ci vediamo presto,

Sergio

Your make-up…

// October 8th, 2009 // No Comments » // October 2009, Our Prices, Services

A lot of women say they aren’t 100% confident about their make-up or how they use it. So what works and why? A make-up consultation is about understanding better the techniques, products and colours suited to your face and how you like to present yourself. You can bring along your own make-up bag and we’ll go through it together. At the same time, I identify and introduce you to any new tricks, techniques or products that I’d strongly recommend and that are specific to your taste. Yes it’s a “class” but it’s also interesting and the results can last years!

Half an hour = £35. One hour = £60.

David Hasselhoff at St Martin’s Lane

The Hoff

Ciao!

As a kid growing up in Italy, I loved “Supercar” – or “Knight Rider”. Then Baywatch! (I think I’ve still got my pair of red shorts!)

Picture my face yesterday then, when the star of both shows, David Hasselhoff, walks in. He said he was in town for Simon Cowell’s birthday party this weekend. Of course, I didn’t try anything too drastic with the scissors. But I wanted him to leave feeling like a superstar, and Lizandra was more than happy to give him a manicure.

Sergio & the team

FYI Stefano Rubertelli’s prototype light in the front window has turned into a gem. Dozens stop and stare at it every evening. It’s just appeared in ICON magazine this month and there are a few design bloggers talking about it. We love it . He deserves every success, and we hope he finds it.
