Hair Brand Fekkai Taps Five Celebrity Stylist Ambassadors for Its 35th Anniversary
Frédéric Fekkai took the New York hair world by storm when he landed in town from his native France in the late &#;80s and set up his eponymous brand, with a long list of celebrity clients fighting to get into his chair, while fashion weeks and red carpet opportunities soon came calling. Now, the brand is going back to its roots as it celebrates its 35th anniversary.
Fekkai is launching its first-ever professional ambassador program, tapping hairstylists Jenny Cho, Marissa Marino, Lona Vigi, Graham Nation and Marty Harper for The Fekkai Five Collective. The idea is that the fivesome will represent Fekkai at various events such as the Met Gala and the Grammys when the opportunity arises, as well as at fashion weeks and on shoots.
“As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we are embracing the chance to reflect on the past of the brand, as well as my own career,” said Fekkai. “Fekkai was born out of my salon-to-studio expertise, and the Fekkai Five Collective personifies just that: a nod to the past, and a celebration of the future of the brand.

As a marketer, my professional bio is the best way to, well, market myself.
From generalist to content strategist and agency to enterprise, my role has changed a lot over the last (almost) eight years. And my professional bio has to keep up. Even though I can admit I don’t always feel like rewriting it.
But we all know we have to keep our professional bios refreshed to give people an accurate snapshot of who we are, why they should work with us, and why they should care about what we have to say.
For that reason alone (and because it’s my actual job), I’ll show you how to write a bio and share some of my favorite professional bio examples from years of reworking my own.

What is a professional bio?
A professional bio or biography is a quick rundown of your background and experience. Your bio should include details about your professional expertise, skills, and achievements, but it’s also an opportunity to show off your personality and personal interests.
They can live just about anywhere — your personal or company website, speaker or contributor pages, LinkedIn profile, or other social media channels.

Lona Maria Vigi is a native of Detroit who grew up inspired by the energetic allure and creativity of fashion, music and art.

Her subsequent shift into hairstyling was seamless, and she soon relocated to Los Angeles to begin her career.
In her early days of working in entertainment, Lona never turned down an opportunity. The unique exposure she gained to the personalities behind the most celebrated faces in Hollywood further inspired her process. Her work became characterized by the ease she strove to foster in her clients before they stepped out on the red carpet. Emphasizing what makes women feel most confident, Lona is a master of skillfully undone texture and relaxed structure.
Lona’s work has been featured in numerous celebrity editorials, brand campaigns, music videos and over thirty feature-length films.

Cameron Diaz's Glam Squad Just Shared a Rare BTS Photo of the Star: 'Back in Action'
Cameron Diaz’s glam is glamming.
Although the actress, 52, is known to remain out of the spotlight, her makeup artist and hairstylist reminded us why she’s a total beauty queen with a rare behind-the-scenes photo shared on Nov. 5.
In the Instagram snapshot posted by pros Melanie Inglessis and Lona Vigi, Diaz can be seen rocking contoured cheeks and a hot pink lip. She wears a denim top, gold earrings and her hair is styled in beachy waves parted to one side.
The look is quite vibrant for the star, who usually goes the minimalist route with her makeup.
Case in point: when she hosted a chic garden party for her wine brand, Avaline, in East Hampton, New York back in July, she kept it natural and dewy with a nude lip to go with her summery white dress and relaxed blowout.
