BEAUTY CONFESSIONS: Sarah Potempa

Sarah Potempa, a celebrity hair stylist known for creating gorgeous waves has worked with many Hollywood stars including Resse Wetherspoon, Emily Blunt and Halie Seinfeld as well as countless magazine covers and ad campaigns. However, her passion is teaching women how to achieve stunning red carpet hair themselves. In an effort to make one of the most popular and requested looks, the beachy wave, easier to recreate she invented the first rotating curling iron, the Beachwaver (and you can read my review here.) I sat down with Potempa to talk about to talk about some of her favorite things.
