Fashion Emergency: Moroccanoil Hair Spray Saves the Show

Backstage at Melani Von Alexandria, Fashion Stylist Nole Marin decided to change the look!  “ALIENS,” he said.  “ALIENS IS WHAT I WANT!”  Luckily, Carmen of Moroccanoil personally gifted our star stylist, Leonard Zagami, 12 cans of Moroccanoil Hair Spray for his kit, which helped create the “out of this planet” look.  Aliens he wanted, aliens he got!

MORE ON THE SHOW COMING SOON!

Anthony Leonard at Bryant Park’s Herve Leger Fall 2010 Show

Actress Alexis Dziena

Hair Styling by Mary Zingone

As invited guests of this year’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Herve Leger Fall 2010 Runway Show, Anthony Palermo and Leonard Zagami were able to actually enjoy the front-end as audience members of the glam show, rather than the production behind the scenes, for a change.  There was an “L.A. girl” feel to the collection of party dresses that were shown, in black and neutrals, short and skin-tight.  Model hair was made sleek and clean-looking in ponytails, with the help of Moroccanoil products.  For Anthony and Leonard, the highlight of the show was seeing A-list celebrity Alexis Dziena, styled by our very own Mary Zingone, sitting front-row (pictured above).  Leave it to Mary to give a sexy look, worthy of paparazzi appeal!  Makeup by Andie Markoe-Byrne.

Salon Event Moved to Next Wed. 2/17/10!

Due to the increasingly convincing reports that NYC will in fact be hit with a substantial amount of snow on Wednesday 2/10/2010, the 2nd Annual Pre-Valentine’s Day Event has been rescheduled.  It seems that with the school closings throughout NYC, and flight cancellations, this may be the real thing (as opposed to last Saturday’s false alarm).  The new date for the Moroccanoil-sponsored Event will be next Wednesday, 2/17/2010. Scroll down to our previously posted blog entry (entitled Salon Event 2/10/10) for more information on the event. For bookings and/or inquiries please call 212.750.8100 or email us at info@anthonyleonardsalon.com.  Hope to see you there!

Lust, Ecstasy, Cherry Pie: New Scandalous Barielle Nail Colors!

“Vivid,” “Pin Up,” “Glammed Out Garnet,” “Ecstasy,” and “Lust,” are just some of the fun colors put out by Barielle Nail Polish—-just in time for V-Day.

We love this line because it is formaldehyde-free, but it still lasts—especially with the help of its Ultra Speed-Dry Manicure Extender.  No joke, it takes a lot to chip these bad boys—especially if Lidia is hooking you up with her famous manicures and pedicures!

Bohemian Chic: Candles by K. Hall

New Candles

A new exciting brand that Anthony and Leonard discovered makes scented candles that are all natural, made of 100% vegetable wax—and the designs have an Anthropologie-esque, bohemian-chic look.  What’s great about these candles is that they burn for 100 hrs., and the fragrances are comprised almost entirely of essential oils—giving off fresh, comforting aromas.  Anthony Leonard Salon started carrying from left: Sandalwood, Fig, Moss, Black Currant, Honeysuckle, and Lavender (not shown) $29 each.

Chinese New Year: Dive In!

Year of the Tiger

Ok, so it’s the Year of the Tiger according to Chinese New Year calendar, and the forecast is a dramatic one.  Coincidentally, it begins on February 14th–just in time to pull those tiger moves in the bedroom!  I’m just kidding, especially coming from someone who is single (but I had to do it).  Regardless of whether you are single, attached, or married, there is something cool to consider about the year of the tiger beginning on Valentine’s Day.  The characteristics of a tiger are actually, in some cases, the opposite of those of the quintessential Valentine’s Day holiday.  In tiger eyes, there is no room for being “gushy”and vulnerable (or depressed and/or disappointed for that matter).  For the king of the jungle, it’s about being strong, passionate, and charming—-without losing your reserved coolness…The “animal of the Read the rest of this entry »

Tim Burton Exhibit at MoMA

Tim Burton Exhibit at MoMA

Tim Burton Exhibit at MoMA

So we’ve finally had a chance to check out the Tim Burton Exhibit at the MoMA up the block, and it is the epitome of Tim Burton—-dark, funny, quirky, strange, fascinatingly original, and to sum it all up in one phrase: cool as hell.  I guess you can say that my opinion is biased, since I have had a picture of Edward Scissorhands on my bedroom wall since the movie came out (and brought it to my “adult” apartment as a childhood souvenir).  There’s just something amazing about seeing Tim Burton’s handwriting on a piece of loose-leaf paper with the story of Edward Scissorhands, among countless others, reminding us that it all started as just a thought.   Read the rest of this entry »

Product of the Month

Every month, Anthony Leonard Salon will recommend a product favorite among stylists.  This month the award goes to Oribe Superfine Hair Spray.  WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.  It’s not sticky or heavy, but its lightweight formula still does the holding job well.  And, what really helps is the fragrance—it is truly delicious.  It has notes of mango and kiwi, but somehow it is not fruity-smelling at all.  It’s hard to describe, but next time you are in the salon take a whiff of our tester on the new display, and see for yourself.  $30.00
