- I'm Jenna Rosenstein and this is the Beauty Show.
On today's episode we're going inside the beauty stash
of celebrity hairstylist Jennifer Yepez.
- Hey, how are you?
- Good, it's so good to see you.
- It's good to see you too.
- She's our very first hairstylist in this series.
I'm so excited to see how she stores
all her favorite hair products,
hair tools and just stuff she uses on herself
and on her clients like Emily Ratajkowski,
Bella Hadid and Selma Hayek.
Let's go!
- So welcome to my home.
- Thank you.
It's beautiful.
- [Jennifer] Thank you.
- So you travel all the time, I see it on Instagram,
where were you last?
- I was last in Mexico.
I was at Cabo Film Festival, who would have known.
I was there with Laura Harrier.
- So you obviously take products with you when you travel.
- Lots of products.
- Okay.
- Lots of wigs, lots of extensions,
lots of hair pieces, pretty much everything, yeah.
- So where do you keep all of this stuff?
- I got this built in, so let me show you.
- [Jenna] Oh my god, this is crazy.
- Here's where I keep most of my hair extensions,
all the wigs, this is Selma's pink wing from.
- Selma Hayek's pink wig.
- From film festival so--
- Oh my god that is it, that's amazing!
- [Jennifer] There she is, so that was about
two years ago at Cannes.
All the things you've seen on Emily or Selma or Zendaya.
- [Jenna] You keep all of them.
- They're pretty much all here, yeah.
Here's some--
- Your collection of R+Co.
- R+Co, which I do adore.
- [Jenna] It's quite impressive.
- Here's some of my extensions where I always have
like blondes and like brunettes with me
so I kind of try to keep it separate
so that way if I'm doing Bella or Emily
I've make sure I grab the right numbers.
- Right, oh my gosh.
- This is all from Laura.
- This is all Laura?
- All Laura.
- That is so funny.
- And Selma, so like Laura and Selma.
This is Jessica Alba's hair.
So I always just keep it separate.
- How do you keep the hair neat
and not get it like all tangly?
- So I have like a little system
where I like to label the Ziploc bags,
brush them through and I'll put like 1B clips 18 inches
that way I know that this bag was for this look.
- And you can reuse them.
- Yep, I reuse them, I just wash them.
And then here's some of my like root touch ups.
Salon in a Bottle is my go to, which I love
because no matter how often you dye your hair
you usually have roots, right?
So if I don't have time to color the extensions
I'll spray it on the root that way it blends in.
- So it blends.
- Exactly.
- That's a red carpet secret if I ever heard one.
Salon in a Bottle, where do you get this?
- You can get it I think at Ricky's
or just order it online, yeah pretty much everywhere.
So probably the ones I use the most are the dark blondes
and then I have Toppik which I love
like if I'm doing a lot of on camera stuff
and then of course Color Wow root cover up
I use for like the scalp to cover the scalp.
- This is great, I feel like that's a trick
not a lot of people know about.
- Yeah so if you're doing like a snatched pony tail
or anything you want to make sure
that you cover all the scalp
that way your girl doesn't look bald.
- I think I need a little bit of that.
- I do that too.
I do a little bit right here.
(laughing)
And here are like accessories and bobby pins and everything.
And like how do I get my snatched ponys,
with my elastic that you can--
- Do you like go to a fabric store?
- You go to a fabric store, so yeah.
- You'll never lose your hair elastics again
if you have a spool that's giant.
- So this is for thinner hair,
definitely with Selma or girls that have a lot of hair
I have to use a thicker one.
- [Jenna] Cool.
- [Jennifer] I have like little hair accessories here.
- [Jenna] Jennifer Behr.
- Jennifer Behr, yeah, she just sent me that
and how cute is the packaging?
Pretty.
- Is that your favorite hair accessory brand?
- I like Jen Adkins, I like Jennifer Behr,
I mean these are so special.
I found these when I just moved.
These are like from Valentino show
from like years ago so this is really fun to like find.
Here I have more tools.
- Let's talk about tools.
Everyone uses them pretty much every single day
so what are your favorites?
- So my go to blow dryer, which I use
for myself and for my clients is the T3 LUXE.
If you're blow drying your hair
and you're a girl at home you have to always
turn it off, turn it on you're gonna like ruin your motor.
- [Jenna] Right.
- And also when you have to turn it back on
it takes a long time to heat up
and it looks super chic.
So here's my European tools.
- So I feel like people forget that stylists
need European tools too.
- Yes, so if you're traveling look at the voltage
cause I give so many curling irons out
and they're like oh it blew.
I'm like well of course it blew
because it's not the right voltage.
- Americans.
- Here's my go to trick for girls
that don't have a lot of money and are traveling
this is the best one to get.
I love BaByliss and this is a dual voltage one
so they have this in every single size
and it's perfect.
I love the ceramic too.
And then my favorite brushes are like the T3 brushes.
They really get good heat.
- [Jenna] Yeah.
- And they're so pretty.
- Pretty, yeah, white and rose gold.
- They're beautiful.
These are all from Paris I got,
we were gonna do a big afro for Zendaya
so I have lots of afro and then like
actually the big curly hair look I gave Zendaya
was from this, it's from my friend Sheram.
- Diana Ross hair?
- Yeah, this is it.
- I remember it.
- So like Sheram has some of the best hair,
like textures, so this is great.
- So when you're working with a client,
like Selma or Emily how do you come up with
the red carpet hair look?
- Just always depends.
Like Selma with the pink wig for instance
we'd just finished Met and then we we're off to Mexico
to promote a movie so we're at the airport
ready to get on the plane.
She's like here's this dress from Gucci
and it has some pink in it.
We're like okay, cool.
She said what about pink hair.
I was like are you down for pink hair?
I was like great.
- So if you're traveling and somebody says
well I want pink hair
how quickly do you turn that around?
- I would hope that they would ask me beforehand,
but I mean about five days to a week.
But sometimes I have to get the wig
and it's like the next day.
So I'll grab the wig, get it colored.
I have Aura usually color the wigs.
Even if it's 1:00 AM in the morning
I have to go pick up the wig, it's gonna be there.
- So you do a lot of clip in bangs and fake bangs.
Would you always rather a client wear clip ins
than actually cut their bangs?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- You do have bangs, it looks good on you.
- I know, thanks.
- But they're like longer bangs so they're different.
- Yeah.
- A lot of the girls, especially like Emily's bangs,
everyone wants those bangs.
They're just never gonna look like that
because for instance when you cut your own bangs
there's always wind involved,
you know there's lots of movement.
Also like you go like this or they're kind of in your way.
They separate.
- They get messy all the time.
- They never stay perfect so
what I usually do is I'll put the bangs,
this is one I recently used
here look, you can have a different color.
(laughing)
So yeah, I always spray it in place
so it doesn't move with the wind.
It's a little costly but it's gonna last you.
And then you can get them colored by your colorist,
you get it cut by your hair stylist.
- You never actually have to cut your hair.
- Don't cut your hair.
I think it's actually better if you don't cut your hair.
That is all of my new wigs and my hair.
- [Jenna] Okay.
- So I'll show you my secret stash of Kérastase.
- [Jenna] Oh my gosh.
- [Jennifer] Basically.
- [Jenna] It's like an entire salon's worth.
- Yes it is.
Yeah, so here are all my favorites.
- I love it.
- For hair care.
So the Fusio-Dose.
- It's like a hair repairing mask?
- Yeah, so all you need is like five
to ten minutes in the shower.
You shampoo your hair, you throw this on.
So you put this little bottle here here
and you just shake it up, comes with a little spray bottle.
- It's like you're your own scientist.
- Also like if you're traveling,
you want to like bring some masks and everything,
it's the easiest thing.
I just gave a whole box to Sabrina Carpenter,
She's doing Jingle Ball Tour
and I'm like oh babe you so need this.
- So there's different ones for different hair concerns.
- Yep, this Thermique is just like restore your hair
if you're putting a lot of heat on it, if you want moisture.
You can do these boosters.
I don't really wash my hair a lot.
I'm sure a lot of women don't.
- How often do you wash your hair?
- Like every five days, four days.
- What, you're so lucky.
I mean it's another curse of having bangs.
- Dry shampoo will take care of it.
- That's true.
- I have plenty of dry shampoo here.
This is one of my favorite lines, the Résistance line,
the Bain Force Architecte and the mask.
This would be for very, very, very damaged hair.
- [Jenna] Somebody that like bleaches their hair or?
- Like it's coming out.
- Oh really.
- So if you really chemically damaged it,
if you color and it's just breaking off
like that is your go to.
- [Jenna] Then you need it.
- And it's super thick hair, yeah.
Here are two of my other favorites.
These are for your scalp.
Everyone always forgets their scalp, right?
- We do, yes.
You gotta scrub it, you gotta treat it.
- So here is the scrub, Chronologiste.
- Speaking of scrubs.
- So I always prep my scalp with this,
and you do it before you shampoo.
- Okay.
- So that's really important.
And then after you do your mask, your Fusio-Dose,
I always mix these two serums,
which is just amazing.
It doesn't make your hair oily at all.
This is from the Extentioniste line
so this is gonna help like you know it has Ceramides
in it, it helps you grow your hair
from the root to the ends.
- So you have to apply it--
- It's like vitamins.
- You put it on your scalp?
- You put it on your scalp.
It says to use five droplets,
but I tend to use a lot more.
And then I use the Initialiste.
Blow dry your hair, you just go about your day
and it's totally fine.
- We all have serums for our face,
but not for our scalps.
- Exactly so these are such a lifesaver.
- So this line, this whole purple line
is what I see backstage at fashion shows all the time.
- Yes, these are amazing.
All my products usually as soon as they leave the shelf
they look very used.
(laughing)
It's like going through airplanes and at the airports
so as you can see like I have some tape on it still.
- [Jenna] Oh yeah.
Why is there tape?
- Anything hits it, if there's another bottle that hits it,
you know on the plane all the pressure
I always use tape and I always use like shipping tape
and I put it around every single bottle.
When I land in Paris I take it off and put it back on
so it's kind of like an ongoing thing,
but if I don't want my products to explode all over my bag.
- Right.
- That's what I have to do.
- Oh my gosh.
- [Jennifer] You know I still have Honest.
- Yes, so you worked with Honest Beauty for a while.
- I did, yeah.
Some of Jen's favorite products
and I have some of Orlando's from like 10 years ago.
- [Jenna] I mean look at this.
- [Jennifer] That they do not make anymore.
- [Jenna] So funny like T3 products.
- Uh yeah I still have them
cause I thought they were just so magical too.
- Yeah.
- And unfortunately they do not make them anymore.
- I don't know if hair products expire
in the same way that like other products expire.
Those are probably still good.
- They still work.
- Yeah.
- So let's just say they don't expire.
- Yeah, cool.
- Like maybe some oils do and some creams.
- Right.
- But if feel like the hairspray and stuff,
like alcohol in it, those are pretty okay.
Like dry shampoo like I said.
One of my favorites, they don't make this one anymore,
which is so sad, the powder bluff was my favorite.
And then my other favorite dry shampoo over here,
Klorane, but with he tint.
I am a fake blonde so when I have roots
I kind of use the tint.
- This is the only one I've found
that actually gets rid of oil.
- Yeah, I love it.
So we have so many different ones I love to use.
- Are people always sending you stuff so you can try them?
- They do and I'm so, like I'm so grateful
that people do send me stuff, so keep sending.
(laughing)
So I can try them.
There's not one line just for every single hair.
- Right.
- So if there's a really great cream,
it could be from any line.
This for instance, like you can get it at Duane Reade,
like Let's Jam.
- Let's Jam.
Oh that is potent.
- It is potent, but there are things like this
where you know like it's just a line,
you go to Duane Reade, you have it, it's great.
- [Jenna] So this is everything that you grab
and go for your kit, right?
- Yes.
- So can I see where you keep stuff
that you use on yourself?
- Yeah, yeah, let me take you.
- Okay.
- I am very minimal when it comes to my own hair.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- I don't believe that.
(laughing)
- So come to my bathroom,
it's where all the magic happens.
(laughing)
- [Jenna] You've got some good products here.
- These are my favorite products.
It's for body I love like Barbara Strum's
anti-aging body cream, it's amazing.
I have eczema so it's great
because it doesn't like burn my skin.
It doesn't have a lot of fragrance.
This is amazing.
This is my go to for my body.
- So you're like so glowy.
- Like glowy.
- Yeah.
- It's like my Mykonos vibe so.
- [Jenna] You're skin's amazing.
- Thank you.
- What's your like biggest skin concern would you say?
- Aging.
- Everyone's.
- Everybody so then for that I always travel with these,
Joanna Vargas' masks.
She has a few of them so I kind of switch off
between the Forever Glow and the Eden one.
- Do you wear them on the airplane?
- I do, I do not wear makeup on the airplane.
If I have makeup, just bring the wipes,
I'll bring a moisturizer.
You know the blood cream.
- [Jenna] Yes, this is the blood cream.
She keeps a little vial of your blood in her--
- Yeah.
- So you can always get another one.
- Like Barbara, I ran out, so they just like yeah,
they send it like from Germany.
- Wow.
- And it's great.
These are my favorite serums.
I love the Glow Drops, Hyaluronic serum,
the Anti-aging, Anti-pollution.
- [Jenna] They're a good size too for traveling.
- [Jennifer] They're great, they're perfect.
- Where do you go for facials?
- Joanna Vargas.
- You do, okay.
- And also Barbara if she's in town.
- Okay.
- [Jennifer] Barbara, she'll give you the plasma.
- [Jenna] Right, it's like very clinical.
- And then for like cleaning and like lifting
and sucking my face up to make me look young
I go to Joanna for that.
- Okay, let's see where you keep
your hair products, where's that?
- I'm very minimal.
I always prep my hair with L'incroyable Blowdry Creme.
This is amazing because I have curly hair
so I needed to not damage my hair
and also have it nice and sleek.
And then my go to for like ends and everything
is Crème Magistral.
- [Jenna] What's that?
- This is like a leave in conditioner
for dry ends, but it doesn't weigh down your hair.
I could put it in my hair every single day.
- Really?
- It smells amazing.
It's like heaven.
- Yum.
- It smells so good and even for like thin hair
no matter what it's my favorite product.
Even if my hair is clean or I use this cream.
- Yeah, it's so good.
- This goes with me, I bring for myself on a trip
at least four bottles.
- Oh my god.
- I use it every single day and night.
- That's awesome.
- And then my other go to for like volume and texture
is Next Day Hair.
- Oh yeah, from L'Oreal Professional.
- You can obviously see I've used it a lot.
- Yeah you have given it some love.
So what would you say is your signature hairstyle
when you're not working?
Do you wear your hair in a ponytail?
- Either it's a ponytail, like a snatched pony
and then I always use La Couture.
So that's always here with the Crème Magistral.
- Okay.
- And if it's not in a slicked pony, it's.
- Just down like this.
- That's it.
- Gorgeous beach waves.
- Yeah, very like sexy Latina.
(laughing)
Just like that.
- Wow, look at those windows!
- I have such a great view in this apartment.
I'm so lucky.
And this is where I get my beauty sleep.
I literally shipped this bed from Dubai.
- [Jenna] From Dubai?
- I stayed at a friend's place.
She lived downtown in Dubai and I would just sleep there.
I would just be there for like a few days
and I slept there for like two weeks.
- Because the bed was that comfortable?
- Yeah, I said if you ever move give me your bed
and literally she moved to London
so I shipped the bed from Dubai.
- Oh my god.
- [Jennifer] And so I literally do get my beauty sleep here.
- [Jenna] It looks heavenly, yeah.
- [Jennifer] It's amazing.
- [Jenna] And that painting.
- [Jennifer] My friend did this for me.
- [Jenna] Is that you?
- Yes, my friend who's into dripping did it.
So Mark, he's from Spain.
He's like super hot, young talented artist.
He sketches you and just drips paint.
That's why he's called this a dripping.
- Well thank you so much for having us over.
- Thank you for coming.
- This is so good to see you.
I know you're like always running around
so I love to like catch you while you are here
and see all your favorite products.
- Yes.
- All right well thank you guys so much.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
