Chaz Dean, the Los Angeles hairstylist who created shampoo-less hair care brand Wen that's all over QVC, is looking to introduce New Yorkers to his product line. "If they've always been curious about Wen, it will give them a first-hand experience," Dean told WWD.

The "it" he's referring to is his own salon — Page Six previously discovered that Dean was looking to buy a "$10 million historic townhouse at 59 Greenwich Avenue" to act as a salon, retail shop, and pied-à-terre. Today WWD confirmed that the four-story property is all his, but since the property needs to be completely renovated, we likely won't see it until late 2017.

If you're not familiar with his late-night infomercials, then perhaps you recall when Dean came under fire late last year: More than 200 women in 40 states filed a class action lawsuit against both the hairstylist and informercial owner Guthy-Renker, alleging that the products made them go bald. The two have contested those claims, and it appears Dean isn't showing any signs of slowing down in the meantime.
