Meet Colleen LaBaff - Farouk Systems

Have you ever wondered who is responsible for some of the phenomenal looks you see on your favorite movie and TV stars? Well, we have the inside scoop after having the pleasure of interviewing Colleen LaBaff, who is known for creating “period pieces.” After being nominated by the Oscars and Golden Globes, Collen is excited for us to get to know her better and share some of her famous tips.

“What are some of your hair styling tips? How do you achieve some of these looks?”

“The best thing for me when styling anyone’s hair is to prep the hair, to have a good foundation, and to be able to turn it into anything you want. For example, with the right products, you can’t go wrong. That is why many of my go-to products and tools come from CHI. It also depends on what you are doing. Yes, you can use no product and it can be just as beautiful, but for most of my line of work, it has to last for 15 hours.”

“What are your favorite products to use from CHI or BioSilk?”

I have been using CHI and BioSilk products for over 20 years! Over the years, the products seem to get better and better! Some of my favorites are:

“How did you get started in the film industry?”

“To make a long story short, after 4 years at Disney, 2 salons, and cutting everyone in the kitchen, I got a call from Tish Simpson to come over to Nickelodeon. She was headed to LA to do a show there and asked me to take over her show called ‘Clarissa Explains It All.’ That’s all it took for me and I was on my way to every show and film I could get on.”
