Outspoken and Outrageous in Puerto Vallarta
a profile of Puerto Vallarta salon owner, Len


For more information about Len and the services provided at his salon and spa, blu, click HERE.
Len was born a week early wearing blu diapers, smoking a cigar, and asking, "who's in charge?" We hear there are pictures of him rolling up his mother's hair at the tender age of nine.

His very first word was "more," and the second one was "pretty."

Is it any wonder that he now owns and runs the #1 salon and spa in Puerto Vallarta? Any doubt that he has acquired the most elite and fabulous clients in all of PVR? We think not.

Having moved with his partner Larry to PV four years ago, Len has built up a dedicated and ferociously loyal clientele that continues to grow at an amazing rate.

Along with training in Atlanta, NYC, and Mexico, his knowledge of hair and its reactions to everything chemical is a wonder to all.

Whatever your hair may or may not need, Len will know exactly what to do or where to go to find the answer. It's not that he is smart; it's just because he is older than the rest of Team blu and has simply seen more.

Having started in Vallarta at a local salon where he quickly became the center of attention: both as consultant and trainer, he quickly grabbed the hearts of everyone's head he touched.

Both his over-the-top personality and his bi-weekly column in several local publication, not to mention the reader's opinions he is always sending in to the Vallarta Tribune, have made Len both famous and infamous: depending on the subject.

All in all, Len has become Vallarta's biggest success story... but please... don't tell him that!

len's life: Politically Incorrect? You Betcha! (wink, wink)
Len

With the most important U.S. election of our lifetime a few weeks away, I thought it'd be fun to look back at former First Ladies to see if there was any correlation between their good or bad hair and the quality of their husbands, the Presidents.

Good Head - Two Can Sometimes Be Better Than One
Just Len!

As you read this, you'll notice that the column name has changed. And you'll soon notice that's not the only thing changing. It's no longer just about Using Your Head. It's a new attitude, a new outlook and most of all a new title... Just Len!

Len's Life: Don't Let This Happen at Your Wedding!
Len

I often write about what you should do with your wedding planning for your destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta. But today, let's chat about a few things that you just shouldn't want to happen at your wedding - no matter where it is!

blu by Len: Even a Genius Needs a Break
Len

Ok, so there you have it. I've called myself a genius. Well, genius or not on all things beauty, you have to be a genius of sorts, or at least think you are, just to succeed in this business. This business that I like to call the biz of "pretty."

The Shoulder Season: Are You Planning Yet?
Len

The latest beauty mags and beauty hot spots on the Internet will tell you, as they have me, that this winter, you're going to need longer hair to be in the groove, to reflect the glamour of the times and to feel really good about how you look.

Have You Seen...? Even More Fabulicious - and Proof That You Can Be, Too!
Len

I have always lived by the creed: If you let yourself look like doggie doo, you'll feel like it, too. It's not Shakespeare, but you don't have any trouble understanding the concept. Actually, we can have our cake and eat it, too...

Have you Seen Jaclyn Smith Lately? One Word... Fabulicious
Len

My latest fascination with Charlie's Angels star Jaclyn Smith stems from another television show that I am completely hooked on. Normally not into reality TV, I came across the most amazing contest in boob tube history: "Shear Genius."

Gossip Flies off the Tropical Drums
Len

As many of you know, I have been "out of town" on personal business. In Vallarta, this usually translates into something like: "Well, to tell the truth..." The truth, of course, being as far away from reality as flip flops are from high heels.

Now They've Gone Too Far
Len

Just when I thought that the world had seen enough of Crocs classic smurf look, here they come with a new and improved high heeled version. I realize that this ranting of mine is somewhat repetitive, but this fashion mistake has gone on long enough.

Inspired, Regenerated and Re-energized... Now On With The Show
Len

As many of you know, the focus of February is Women's Heart Health. I was honored to participate at Ground Zero. On February 1st, The American Heart Assoc. kicked off what promises to be an amazing month of stories, courage, strength and resolve.

Help blu Turn Red
Len

I really feel passionate about the women’s heart disease problem and its solution. Ladies, I truly believe it’s time to stomp this thing out. So put on your red dress and stop by blu by Len on February 15th at 1 pm for Vallarta Women’s Heart Appreciation Day.

The Top Ten Fashion Mistakes of 2007
len

It's that time of year again. Time for Use Your Head's Annual Top Ten Fashion Mistakes of 2007. This is an opinion. Not all of you will agree or like what you are about to read. Get over it. Have fun.

Where's the Holiday Style Gone?
Len

In 2008, we're going to focus on finding our own style and finding ways to keep it consistent and easy. Mostly for you, but also for all the Puerto Vallarta stylists who are tired of hearing, "My hair just won't do anything," over and over again.
