Meet Bethenny Frankel: this New York “Housewife” turned household name has managed to glamorize the demanding job of working-mother. An uber successful businesswoman by day and hands-on family-woman by night, Frankel seems to have it all.

Six years ago, this relatively unknown natural foods chef made her television-debut on the reality show, “The Apprentice.” This little-known fact may surprise fans of Bravo’s hit show “The Real Housewives of New York,” where Frankel truly stepped into the limelight. But her days as a reality show contestant are long gone…

Today, Frankel has made some serious progress. She is now the founder of Skinnygirl Cocktails, a chic line of health-conscious mixed drinks. She has written two hit books. She has also starred in two successful shows of her own on Bravo. And in her free time, this dynamic go-getter manages to raise her adorable daughter alongside doting husband, Jason Hoppy.

So what’s next for Frankel? 

Known for her sassy attitude and sharp wit, this petite powerhouse is stepping out of the kitchen and into the hair salon for her newest business venture. Frankel is teaming up with L.A.-based beauty salon, Drybar

The hair salon’s philosophy is simple: “No cuts. No Color. Just blowouts.” For just $35, their “menu” offers patrons a handful of different styles—each inspired by a cocktail. Pick your poison: try the “Straight Up,” the “Mai Tai,” the “Southern Comfort,” or the “Manhattan” to name a few.  

Customers even sip on complimentary cocktails while beautifying their locks, so its no surprise that Drybar—beginning this month—will now be serving up Frankel’s very own Skinny Girl Margaritas.

In addition, the salon menu has introduced a new hairstyle in honor of Bethenny: the “Skinnygirl Ponytail.” Modeled after Frankel’s signature, perky up-do seen here, this new addition to the menu is sure to be a crowd pleaser. 

As Frankel so eloquently stated, “There’s always that day you want to be a little sassy, a little girly, a little flirty,” and this sleek pony is the perfect remedy. 

Whether she’s behind the stove whipping up a new recipe or working the beauty world, Bethenny seems to have the golden touch these days. And it appears that her new partnership with Drybar will be no exception. Frankel said it best when she declared, “Skinnygirl cocktails and Drybar are a match made in heaven.”
