QVC and high fashion are not typically grouped together in the same sentence. Well, as they say, that is so last season. QVC hosted a unique show during NYFW Fall 1012. They invited guests to introduce four new designer collections as well as showcase the talents of celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa.

I was there as a brand ambassador of easihair professional. Sarah’s team needed a little bit of hair extension help to achieve the looks for the New York Fashion Week QVC Showcase.

I actually got to get my hands in some hair during model prep. My team member, Jennifer Edwards, and I got to put in lots and lots of easilengths tape hair extensions. They were a hit. (as always)

I have to say that Sarah Potempa has some mad hairdressing skills. I got a chance to chat with her about hair extensions, the joys of entrepreneurship, and her snazzy new hot tools. Oh, you will be seeing them on QVC, trust.

I don’t usually do this, but something in me said, “Get a pic with her!”. So I did. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot more of talented Potempa.

More info on the show:
