The Product: Bumble and Bumble



It is incredibly difficult to find a hair product line that has a variety of items that suit all hair types, but actually work effectively.  At A+P Daily, we know for a fact that we (and every other hair product enthusiast) thanks God for giving us Bumble and Bumble - a well-established hair salon and product line.  This New York based salon has become a fashion show, red-carpet, and photoshoot-ready hair product staple in the entertainment industry.  It has been around for roughly 34 years continually expanding its empire, and in 2011, it clearly has no intention of slowing down.  After opening in 1977 by founder Michael  Gordon, Bumble and Bumble has created iconic products (Brilliantine, Surf Spray, for example), opened a University (The Bb.U), and ultimately nicknamed itself: The House of Bumble.  Bumble and Bumble is currently operating two main salons situated in Manhattan - one Uptown and the other Downtown (in The House of Bumble) - and a Styling Bar in the 59th Street Bloomingdales.  The two different salons each have their own vibe - as they should - since they are in two very distinctive parts of Manhattan.  Having visited both salons and experiencing a cut in the Downtown salon, it is safe to say that a Bumble and Bumble experience is none like any other.  Each stylist is trained in both technique and knowledge, but brings an element of personality to each client.  Since we're being perfectly honest, the cut at Bumble and Bumble was the best haircut ever experienced and the more than satisfying result lasted for approximately three months (ages in haircut terms).  The products created at Bumble and Bumble each embody a distinct purpose - whether it is for shine, texture, cleanliness, hydration, etc... they work like a charm.  We personally worship Bumble and Bumble hair products, so much so, that to say we can't live without them would be an understatement.  Check out our favorites under the cut.
