MANITOU SPRINGS, CO -- Hair Consultant candidate Phil McWilliams claimed full credit for Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi's recent visit to a new hairdresser, in which Steve's split-ends were cut, and Steve walked out with a "high end" bottle of quality conditioner and beautiful-looking curls.

The brazen 23-year-old made public waves when he convinced - perhaps "ordered" is a better word - the Internet personality to see a well-known hairdresser in Old Colorado City. Sadly, Steve had neglected in seeing a hair care professional for over six months.

"Here I am already helping you with your hair and making sure you do all that you need. My attitude is I'm acting as your Hair Consultant already."

"I'm keeping this simple. Like I said, you do everything (your hairdresser says) or I kick your ass, and I could." said Phil, "It's not that I would want to, but that's the way I'm going to be with you."

Under his new hairdresser's recommendation, Steve obtained a bottle of Rusk Defensive Conditioner, which when used daily, takes away Steve's need to put cheap and damaging hair gel in his hair to combat frizz.

Steve is pleased with the improvement in his hair quality (click on Steve's photo for close up) and he maintains that he is following everything his hairdresser recommended, including combing through his hair every morning in the shower.

"She could kind of take advantage of me, but I trust her." said Steve, of his new hairdresser. Early next week, Steve plans to return to purchase a pricey leave-in conditioner, another recommended product by her.

Phil Speaks His Mind While "Smoking a Butt"

Feeling good about his accomplishment with Steve, Phil spoke his mind regarding the negative tone the campaign has recently taken, and he particularly spoke about the main criticism about him, that he's a "foul mouthed punk" who never even visits this web site. (Recent polls show them in a virtual dead heat with Chris Morton trailing in third.)

"I don't care what she or anybody says. I'll swear when I want, I'll say what I believe and I don't give a shit if nobody votes for me. I'm already playing the role of Hair Consultant." said Phil, who to this day, has never logged onto this web site and embarrassed himself by failing to attend the Hair Consultant Chat Room Debate last weekend.

"You know, this election is a joke. I'm already helping you (with your hair) and making sure you do all that you need." contended Phil, "What has this snobby, rich California woman done for you so far? Nothing compared to me!"
