When working New York Fashion Week, whether backstage at runway shows or glamming celebrities attending the shows, you need speed, efficiency, and versatile styling tools. That’s why the Sitting Pretty Halo is my go-to. It transforms hair instantly without the stress of traditional extensions, keeping clients (and me!) runway-ready in minutes.
Styling Myself at NYFW: Fast Glam on No Sleep
NYFW means long days, late nights, and I am running on fumes around the city from client to client. I fly in from LA and go straight to work, or start at sunrise the next day. This year, my Halo was my saving grace for keeping my look put together and polished.
How I Style My Halo for NYFW
- Air-dry natural hair.
- Add a few curls with a 1-inch curling iron.
- Curl The Halo to match.
- Slip on The Halo and blend.
- Finish with a texturizing spray for all-day volume.
The result? Big, voluminous hair that doesn’t flatten throughout the day, stays secure while running around the city, and looks flawless. even when the wind hits. I have longer hair and don’t need a full head of extensions day to day, so The Halo is ALWAYS my go-to to keep my hair from falling flat throughout the day.

Styling Celebrity Clients at NYFW with the Halo
At fashion week, my celebrity clients usually have more than one event to go to in a day, so our changes have to be quick and easy. When using The Halo, I can create multiple looks in a day without ever taking it out.
Example: A Full NYFW Day with One Halo
- Morning Look: Using The Halo, I created voluminous “cool girl” waves for a full, effortless look to attend the Tory Burch show.
- Afternoon Change: Without removing The Halo, I used a larger curling iron, and set the curls to cool. After, I brushed them out to create a softer look, then pinned it half-up, creating a 60s Brigitte Bardot look. The Halo helped create the volume I needed and didn’t show when styling the hair half-up.

Stylists and Artists love the quick install. A Halo can be applied in minutes, and when you’re styling 50 models for one show, time is of the essence.
