Jonathan Antin’s Tuesday night reality tv show on Bravo, Blow Out, is our guilty pleasure while the Desperate Housewives are on vacation. We didn’t have a first hand clue on how much work goes into making your salon the talk of both coasts. And the cat fights during Hollywood awards season cannot be missed. Nothing beats watching whose Hollywood head thinks their’s is Queen of the roost and deserves Jonathan’s time the most. Then again, if he were our stylist, we’d be duking it out too. Since we all can’t have a piece of Jonathan, his signature haircare collection ($18 - $26), appropriately called Jonathan product, has roared its’ way onto Sephora’s shelves. The line features two shampoos, three conditioners, and ten stylers—including this Freshen Up botanical mist ($18) designed to revive your hair and travel weary skin. Bravo Jonathan…looks like all that hard work has paid off.
