Summer of Love

Donna Summer was beyond an icon. Her music and legacy will be remembered for generations to come. She was the real queen of disco and known for her beautiful voice. Many of us cherish our own memories dancing and singing along to one of her numerous hits. When  we hear her music,  it always takes us back to that special place.  We will listen to her music always, and keep the memories that it brought along forever!

R.I.P. Donna Summer

Sassoon

If you don’t look good we don’t look good, that was the motto of a legend in the beauty world known as Mr. Vidal Sassoon!

The super short boy like pixie on “Rosemary’s Baby” stunner Mia Farrow along with Mary Quant and Vogue editor Grace Coddington’s five point Bobb was his signature wash and wear haircut, it was beyond modern in a time when bouffant and flips where all the rage!

Vidal Sassoon will be missed, but his inspiration was viral and he will be remembered for a look that is as recognizable as the name that made it famous R.I.P.

May’s Mane Man

Chances are as your reading this our creative director,  Leonard Zagami, is either being whisked off on a privet jet with a pop star, meeting with a high fashion designer to create a new look for the New York City catwalks, keeping up with an A-list actress on a press junket or cutting a Broadway diva’s locks in her  dressing room backstage!!!

Just another day at the salon?? Never!!!

Leonard’s  artistic inspiration changes just as quick  as the beautiful flower arrangements that he makes time to always look perfect in his Madison Avenue salon ! Lets hear how he does it all and still gives a very loyal clientele the best haircuts in town!

ALS: How long have you been a NYC hairdresser?

ALS: What is your signature style when it comes to hair?

LZ: Well someone recently wrote that my bride for Angel Sanchez  (cover of WWD April 2012 Collection) was as if “The Little Mermaid popped in at Andy Warhol’s factory for a spot of tea”! That’s it!!! Sexy, effortless, languid, long layers! I do a lot of fashion shows, and working off the natural texture is something I’ve perfected!!

ALS: What is in your opinion of the future of hairdressing?

ALS: Who is you favorite all time fashion designer?

LZ: Yves Saint Laurent.  He was the master !

ALS: What is your favorite ALS retail product sold at your salon?

LZ: Oribe Super Shine Cream. It is the perfect product for any texture !

Bonus question

ALS: What  on Broadway have  you seen or must see?

LZ: I have  seen most of the Broadway shows, my first show ever was The Wiz starring Stephanie Mills. I just saw Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar, this weekk and I loved it!! Some of my past favorites are Spring Awakening with Leah Michelle, Sutten Foster in Anything Goes, Christine Ebersole in Grey Gardens, Donna Murphy in People In The Picture, Patti  LaBelle in Fela and I am dying to see Evita with Ricky Martin.  I will see it in the next few weeks!
