Kelly Huether Reacquires Life of Riley and Riley Salon Resources
Life of Riley Salon Supply and Riley Salon Resources are back in the family, as Kelly Huether acquires the professional distributor he co-founded in 2013.
HairMax, a pioneer in Laser Hair Growth, announced today that they have joined forces with NY-based celebrity stylist Mary Brunetti to provide guidance on managing multiple causes of thinning hair including COVID-19 hair loss.

Mary Brunetti is known as much for her celebrity clientele as she is for training world-class hairstylists. For nearly 20 years, she has implemented her unique training program at the Sally Hershberger salon in New York City, where she is the Director of Education. Now, the stylist and educator is bringing her expertise to HairMax, where she will provide expert guidance on styling and managing multiple causes of thinning hair including COVID-19 hair loss.
“2020 brought many unexpected upheavals to the salon industry. Once we opened back up many of my clients began approaching me with their hair loss concerns, so I began looking into options.” Mary explains. “In my research, I learned about the seven clinical studies that HairMax conducted on laser energy for hair growth, resulting in eight FDA clearances. I was wowed with the science and the ongoing development of innovative technology for hair growth and hair wellness. I love the fact that as a Brand Ambassador for HairMax, I will be part of the solution that addresses a desperate situation for so many suffering from hair loss.”
"I only recommend products that I try myself, so I began using the LaserBand 82 hair growth device and saw the results. When it comes to hair growth and wellness, nothing compares to HairMax,” says Mary.
Francesca Dubsky, Director of Marketing states: “There has been a significant uprise in reports of hair loss post COVID-19, typically appearing 2-3 months after diagnosis. We have seen an increase in inquiries for information as to how to recognize and treat this occurrence. Mary joining us as Brand Ambassador will help educate people on how to deal with their Covid-19 related hair loss, as well has treatments for hereditary hair loss and how HairMax products can help them regrow and revitalize their hair.”
Mary has been called upon to style the hair for celebrities - Bette Midler, Mariah Carey, Eva Longoria and Carrie Underwood, to name a few - and styled hair backstage at Fashion Week for world renowned designers such as Donna Karan, Nicole Miller, Naeem Kahn and Vivienne Westwood. In addition, her work has been published in Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, New York magazine, Town & Country, Modern Bride and elsewhere, as well as all the leading industry trade magazines including MODERN SALON, American Salon and Launch Pad.
Mary maintains a clientele in her own Mary Brunetti Salon in the resort area of the Hamptons, N.Y., and continues to consult with top salons around the country on how to implement her tried and true training program.
