WHAT: INSIDER TIPS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY

WHO: Celebrity hair stylist Harry Josh.

Celebrity hair stylist Harry Josh is a beauty industry insider. From the floor of the International Beauty Show in NYC, he is available to offer viewers “insider” tips on how to achieve high-quality hair styling performance without using high-priced hair salon styling products. He also will discuss the results of a nationwide head-to-head test where 200 salon professionals performed a blind test of four hair styling aids.

Harry Josh’s client list includes Gisele Bundchen, Hilary Swank, Rachel Hunter, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Rachel Weisz. Vogue Magazine recently placed Harry Josh on its elite list of top-five fashion stylists.

Head-to-Head Salon Challenge:
Two hundred salon hair stylists tested each product on their own hair and over two-thirds said that the less expensive styling aids performed just as well as the more expensive salon brands. The four hair styling aids were Suave Professionals Smoothing Glaze Gel, Suave Professionals Freeze Hold Finishing Spray, Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Super Spray and Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt Styling Glaze. Harry Josh will reveal the results of the head-to-head test live from the floor of the International Beauty Show in NYC.

A national survey of hair stylists revealed some interesting trade secrets, including:
* One-third of stylists in the past two years have used brands found in the drug store or supermarket on their own hair.
* Gossip from the salon chair – Clients reveal intimate details of their personal life… Nearly two-thirds of stylists have heard confessions from their clients about their sex life, a total of 59% have been told about an extra-marital affair, other shocking secrets include news about salaries (53%), co-worker gossip (84%) and pregnancy announcements (76%).
