First, an announcement!
I've partnered up with my friend Lisa Richards at RPZL for a fun Friendsgiving promotion. All November long, any subscriber (free OR paid) of both mine and Aly’s substacks will be able to get a $25 blowout at RPZL (at the legendary Plaza Hotel in NYC!) with code FRIENDSGIVING25. The blowouts at RPZL are consistently excellent—I love to get mine from Stephanie.
This is not an ad! (There are never ads here—only affiliate links and paid subscribers to whom I’m deeply grateful fund this enterprise, never brands. That’s how we keep it 100% honest and real around these parts). Lisa is simply a wildly generous friend with a salon and a product range I happen to love, so I want to pass along the steals and deals.
Ok! Onto the Beachwaver, a product I’m delighted to have been a part of’s journey since the beginning in 2010. I even went down to QVC with founder Sarah Potempa to demonstrate live and on air how this contraption works. #nopresh.
This self-twisting curling iron was designed to put a hairstylist in your own pocket so to speak—making easy work of creating your own beach waves. So is it worth $149 for a 1.25-inch dual voltage iteration? Read on and find out.
