Jason Burke

Best of Boston 2009 Stylist, Blowout

In Burke’s hands, a round brush is a magic wand. With it, he could do evil (a pageant bouffant, perhaps?), but he inevitably chooses to do good: not too big, not too flat, just soft and smooth. As for staying power, our Burke-blown mane remained fresh-looking for four full days. RUNNERS-UP: Tim Robishaw (Emerge), Darren Le (Mizu) LAST YEAR: Sean Kavanagh (Shag)
