Love the way your hair looks and feels after a trip to the hairdresser? Hate how you can’t achieve that same bounce and shine at home? International salon brand Wella has just launched their Wella Pro Series in South Africa. The best news? The collection of shampoos and conditioners comes in Volume, Shine, Repair and Colour formulas and is available at stores for a reasonable recommended retail price of R39.99 each.To celebrate its arrival on our shelves, Wella threw an elegant soiree last week Thursday at plush venue Urban Tree in Sandton. Not a lot beats champagne on a rooftop in the afternoon – extra points for the fresh sushi, Halloumi Cheese, Tempura Prawns and spring rolls that kept on coming. (Usually I don’t eat at these things because looking elegant while balancing your drink and devouring finger food is an art I’ve not yet mastered so bonus points for the comfortable couches and side tables).
Later, we were ushered inside to be greeted by host Cindy Nell-Roberts who looks slim and trim after giving birth to her son in May. (She later told me that an upcoming Veet shoot was all the motivation she needed.) Models dressed in red frocks created by local designers like Gert Johan Coetzee, Marianne Fassler and Nabeela Akbar showed off luscious locks washed and styled with the Wella Pro Series. Then expert stylists showed us how to get the look with a quick shake of the head, the odd bobby pin and a spritz of hairspray.Afterwards more food was served and I rolled myself home with a set of Repair shampoo and conditioner under my arm. All in all, it was like Christmas for grown up girls.
