Shears Hustle and Blow Opening Party
By Kim Hastreiter
We hosted a really fun little party last night on Crosby Street in honor of my old friend hairstylist Ric Pipino's (pictured above with Mark Hunter) new hot venture. He has partnered with the fun cosmetics chain store Ricky's and is opening cute, inexpensive, super-groovy hair salons in the back of these shops (starting in NYC) called Shears Hustle and Blow. The art collective Faile did the logo and the shops are very fun-looking (check out the chandeliers here made of gold-dipped hairdryers).
The party was fun, especially when our Los Angeles girlfriend Leyla pulled up in her Hearts Challenger Ice Cream Truck with The Cobra Snake aka Mark Hunter in tow. New York is going NUTS for Leyla's ice cream truck (see Leyla in her truck below) and she is literally being STALKED on the streets. You can find her out front of the weekly Misshapes party starting this week plus all kinds of companies are chasing her ass to pull up at their parties. We asked Leyla to start a blog here at PAPER for the summer documenting the crazy adventures of a cute stylish ice cream truck driver in NYC for the summet... so that's gonna start soon. keep your eye out! Thanks to Caroline Torem Craig for the pix!!!

Redken's "Inspire Change Cut-A-Thon"
By Shanon Kelley
This morning, myself and one of my favorite PAPER buddies, Barbara Ragghianti, headed over to the Redken headquarters and salon on Fifth Avenue and 46th street. We went for their "Inspire Change" cut-a-thon. For $30 I got a fabulous hair cut by a Redken "performing artist," but most importantly I got to donate to Redken's partner for the event, Couture For Cancer, a non-profit dedicated to supplying hair to those who've lost theirs due to chemotheraphy. Not too shabby, right? I donated to charity AND got a fabulous haircut -- all before lunch!
My hairstylist was a fabulous lady by the name of Terrie who came all the way from Cleveland. Apparently all of the stylists working today were donating their time to fly out for this charitable event. Redken definitely has a great styling partnership program.
Here are our "before" and "after" photos -- plus a shot of all the stylists hard at work.
