Hair Care Battle Reaches New Heights, Luster
Noted New York hair and skin care developer Chris Hayes finds himself in Page Six this morning, defending a deal he struck with hairstylist John Barrett. After two years developing the hair care line Elementage, Hayes says Barrett cut him out of the deal that was supposed to make them partners, with Hayes receiving his return on investment when the product hit stores.
Why there's no written contract to fondle, we're not sure. But what's clear is both sides have launched a preemptive attack against each other: Hayes in Page Six, Barrett in private gossip circles.
Bringing the matter full circle, Hayes is repped by former Life & Style editor Mark Pasetsky, of Mark Allen & Co., on his new skin care line Barc, aimed at African-Americans.

this isn't surprising as Barrett has a history of being sleezy. i think i recall a major sexual harrassment lawsuit against him a few years back.
i work for Barrett and i'm not at all surprised by this. Chris worked extremely hard to restore John's reputation after Barrett had several product failures. This is John's way of doing business. the line won't succeed without Chris.
what kind of business man is chris hayes 2 go into partnership without proper contract.smell,s kinda fishy 2 me.
