Thoughts from Jeanie Syfu on Episode 10:

Dirty Little Secret had everything that I’m a sucker for: beauty, fashion, love and drama! From the first episode I was hooked, and the finale did not disappoint. It is every woman’s nightmare to find out your ex-boyfriend is seeing your friend, so I’m happy everything worked out in the end. I also love that I got to play myself as a confidant to Riley, and I related to her character the most. I am usually lending my ear in real life and often told I am a good listener. Tell me your thoughts on the final episode on the TRESemmé wall.

Thoughts from Jeanie Syfu on Episode 9:

Riley’s confession fits right in with the drama that happens backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. It requires plenty of coordination to juggle models coming in from other shows, press, celebrities, and of course making sure all the hair and makeup is consistent and perfect between wardrobe changes. The preparation backstage takes three to four hours, after months of planning, for a 10-minute show. It’s over in a blink of an eye and worth every second.

Thoughts from Jeanie Syfu on Episode 8:

I’d love to say hair disasters like the one at Lauren’s fashion preview don’t happen in real life, but they do. I have a story of my own. I was booked for an editorial shoot on location in Harlem, and the forecast predicted heavy rain. We were doomed! After much debate, we decided to move the shoot to the clothing stylist’s apartment in Chelsea to avoid the rain. Once we shot the first of six looks, we realized we were better off sticking to the original location. So we went back to Harlem and did the entire shoot in the rain! I just made sure that the hairstyle was simple since it had to be redone five times. The photographer quickly snapped a great picture each time before the model’s hair was drenched. Even though I had my work cut out for me, the pictures were fantastic, and it was worth it.
