Philip Kingsley visits Hong Kong

Big news for bad hair day sufferers with cash to splash: Following a wildly popular tour last year, Philip Kingsley, the world’s pre-eminent trichologist, will once again be paying a visit to our city from October 5-10 to disseminate hair advice to the lucky few. For those with serious hair problems, Kingsley will be offering just 10 one-on-one private appointments, priced at a whopping $4,500 for a two-hour consultation and professional hair treatment. Yes, it’s a lot of money (he once treated Audrey Hepburn's locks, y'know), but I had the pleasure of having breakfast with the man when he was in town last year, and for anyone with persistent hair and scalp woes, his advice is a revelation. If you can’t afford the private sesh, then Kingsley is also giving a “Save Our Style” talk on October 6 at 7pm, when the expert will take you through common hair woes and tell you how to get the best mane possible. Tickets are $300 and there are only 30 seats. Call the Mandarin Oriental Salon at 2825-4800 or email [email protected] for bookings. And yes, spots will sell like hotcakes, so hop to it.
