His Gift Picks
CALPAK Hard Sided Suitcase
“I am always traveling and in need of my kit being easily accessible. The perfect gift for a hairstylist, in my opinion, is a CALPAK Hard Sided Suitcase. It is so easy to travel with, fits all of my tools and products, and has lasted me such a long time.”
Shop: CALPAK Hard Sided Ambeur Carry-On Luggage, $195.00
Nespresso Machine
“Since hairstylists work longer hours, often starting very early in the morning. I swear by my Nespresso machine. It makes the best coffee, it doesn’t look off-putting in a kitchen, and it helps me get through the longest of days. Give the gift of caffeine and get through the day!”
Shop: Nespresso Vertuo Pop+, $99.00

Her Gift Picks
BLONDME X Barbie All Blondes Kit and BLONDME X Barbie Cool Blondes Kit
“Hands down, [I] would recommend the BLONDME X Barbie All Blondes Kit and BLONDME X Barbie Cool Blondes Kit! Not only is the packaging super cute, but it’s nostalgic as well! It’s a great intro to the BLONDME line for those who are new to Schwarzkopf or to those who have tried, but want to dabble a little more!”
Shop: BLONDME X Barbie All Blondes Kit, $70.00 and BLONDME X Barbie Cool Blondes Kit, $70.00
BLONDME Bleach and Tone Additives and BLONDME Premium 9+ Lightener
“I would also recommend the new BLONDME Additives. Those are great stocking stuffers and a great color correction tool! They would be a great pair as well with the new BLONDME 9+ Lightener packages.”
Shop: BLONDME Bleach and Tone Additive, (pricing available on Schwarzkopf Pro website) and BLONDME Premium 9+ Lightener (pricing available on Schwarzkopf Pro website)

His Gift Picks
GHOSTBOND Glow Up
“As a wig stylist, there are a few key essentials you need to keep in your beauty arsenal that also makes great items for a stylist gift basket for your fellow stylists including Professional Hair Labs’ newest GHOSTBOND Glow Up. This wig adhesive dries clear, has a superior, seamless hold, and can be easily removed to swap wig styles without a hassle. I also recommend adding a trusted electric straightening hot comb ($90), holding spray ($20.99), double-sided edge brush ($3.60), rat tail comb ($5.49), and wax stick ($4.69) as they are necessities for a flawless wig installation.”
