written by Britt Trachtenberg

On July 15, Celebrity Hairstylist Ruslan Nureev celebrated the launch of his new hair extension line, “Lev.” This poolside event occurred in the glamorous Hollywood Hills. Celebrities attended the event and supported Nureev’s line.

Livia Pillmann, Lily Benardout, Chanel Stewart, Madison Brodsky, and Caitlin Lawson posed for pictures by the pool. Bailey Clark, Hoda Elkoussa, Yi Zhou, Caitlin Lawson, and Ella Udu danced to high-energy music. Guests also enjoyed the event’s cocktails and food.

Hailey Barnett, Megan Moilanen, and Zey Besaran drank Hollywood Vodka cocktails. Hannah Linderman, Oliver Trevana, and Ann-Katherine Rudel enjoyed El Cristiano ultra-premium tequila. Sergio Farias, Kailyn Shepherd, Rose Rosenfeld, Zoe Sellars, Laken Romine, and Georgia Ball ate delicious food, provided by Pizza Girl. 

Guest chef and Pizza Girl founder Caroline D’Amore made a stunning appearance. The event featured cold Essentia water and Caliwater cactus water. The party celebrated Nureev’s accomplishments as a hairstylist as well.

He learned from top artists like Jennifer Yepez, Harry Josh, and Chris Appleton. For the last sixteen years, Nureev has styled hair. He created gorgeous red-carpet looks for celebrities such as Eiza Gonzalez, Hailee Steinfeld, and Dixie D’Amelio. He has worked with many models, including Josephine Skriver, Romee Strijd, and Jasmine Tookes.

Other big-name clients include Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid, Jessica Alba, Priyanka Chopra, Shanina Shaik, Elsa Hosk, and Alessandra Ambrosio. Nureev expands his brand with the launch of “Lev.” The line comes in a variety of hair colors.

 

 

 

 

 

The extension set consists of nine clip-in pieces. With help from partner Merria Dearman, Nureev designed the hair in eight beautiful colors. Consists of ethically sourced and produced hair extensions.

Nureev treated this aspect with utmost importance. He properly compensated the woman who gave him the hair. He said, “This line differs completely from any other hair collection in the market, as all the hair is ethically sourced and produced in Bali, Indonesia.” He spoke about his goals as well.

Nureev said, “This has been a passion project of mine for the last three years, and I really hope to change the industry standards for the better.”

He connected his line to his Russian heritage. “Lev” means “lion and heart” in Ukraine. Also, it means “lion” in Russian.

Harlem Pride and Kaleidoscope Hair Products: Jesseca Harris-Dupart

by Gabrielle Babson July 5, 2022
written by Gabrielle Babson

On Saturday, June 25th, Founder and CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, Jesseca Harris-Dupart, accomplished an industry first by setting the Guinness World Record title for the largest donation of haircare products in 24 hours.

The brand collaborated with  Harlem Pride during their 13th annual Celebration Day, alongside prominent guests including Mayor Eric Adams, to unveil this incredible activation on stage to a crowd of more than 20,000 attendees from across the country.

Prior to the celebration, we had an opportunity to speak with Jessica Harris-Dupart about how Kaleidoscope Hair Products came to be and its continued growth in the hair care space.

The Knockturnal: As the first black, openly gay founder in the multicultural hair space — How do you think your identity has influenced the impact you’ve made in this space?

Jesseca Harris- Dupart: It’s not like I went into this like “Hey, let me be the first!” I have just been very transparent about who I am and I hope my journey and my life can show everybody that they can do anything. You don’t have to stay within the guidelines of what people try to make you. Whoever you are, whoever you love, whatever you do, you can be successful.

The Knockturnal: What motivated your desire to enter the hair care space? 

Jesseca Harris- Dupart: I was a hairstylist for over 20 years and one of my clients cheated on me and went to another hairstylist. She ended up having a bald spot in the center of her head from a ponytail install and bobby pins. It made me want to find a solution; I wanted to be able to fix this. From then on, I started exploring what that would look like. I started speaking to chemists and I never expected it to be from behind a chair, I never expected to retire. God just had a different story for me.

The Knockturnal: What are 2 of your best selling products from the Kaleidoscope Hair Product line?

Jesseca Harris- Dupart: Currently, it would be the Original Miracle Drops which is a light hair treatment and the Pecan Pie Growth Booster Oil. Both products are our top growth boosting agents.

After declaring the Guinness World Record title, Jesseca and leaders from Harlem Pride spoke to the impact this donation will have in the community, followed by a surprise performance from Jesseca’s new wife, Atlanta hip-hop legend Da Brat.

On The Scene: Curlfest Atlanta 2019

Curlfest Atlanta 2019

 

BOLD. BRIGHT. BEAUTIFUL.

Bold describes the attitudes, personalities and spirits of those in attendance. Bright describes the colors in the fashions, and the looks in the eyes of those there. Beautiful describes every single person that was in attendance! On Saturday, September 21, 2019 I had a chance to attend Curlfest Atlanta. With this wonderful tour, of a celebration of being your own unique self and embracing your curls, being in Atlanta, GA for the first time, as expected the turnout was amazing!

Curly Girl Collective, which is a group of five women celebrating authenticity and being your natural self, started in 2014. The five founders are Melody Henderson, Simone Mair, Charisse Higgins, Gia Lowe, and Tracey Coleman. Sitting on the stage rocking beautiful cloths and amazing hairstyles, the group discussed what it meant to start Curly Girl Collective and Curlfest. It was explained that it does not mean just rocking your natural girls but just being comfortable in the skin you are in and being your true authentic self, regardless of what that looks like. Curlfest was created with little black girls in mind to have positive images and celebrating just that!

There were vendors from all over, collectively in Candler Park to offer things from hair care, hair accessories, fashions and finances. The list of vendors included Aunt Jackie’s, Cantu, Fro Babies, Chase Bank, Target, Soap and many other local artists and seamstress who were displaying their appreciation for culture and all that they had to offer. Seeing all the beautiful melanated people gathered in one positive space celebrating each other brings one word to mind… UNITY!

I truly enjoyed sharing space and my afternoon with everyone who attended Curlfest Atlanta 2019. I racked up on so many goodies for my family and me and look forward to being in attendance again next year!

As she steps into the DC Universe in Clayface, Ackie reflects on her unconventional career journey and the lessons that have kept her grounded. As she puts it, “I've learnt since then to hold things lightly.”

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
