Blowing Kisses

Ever wonder how American Vogue editrix Anna Wintour gets her bob so impeccably sleek? Rumour has it that a pro hairstylist swings by every morning to tend to her tresses before the magazine maven even steps outside.

While a personal coiffeur may be a tall order for most, an occasional visit to Rosedale’s Blow Dry Lounge (from $35) will breathe new life into limp locks.

Veteran stylist Beni Sicilia is a master with a roller brush: “You should never tug or use force. It’s a slow, gentle movement.”

The salon opens at 7 a.m., to get the pre-work set ready, and stays open as late as 9 p.m. for party gals in need of that finishing touch.

Now that our mane is as perfectly styled as Ms. Wintour's, all we need is her wardrobe.
