Who ever said supermodels are weak just needs to see this editorial by Mario Testino for V Magazine. Adriana Lima with fierce blue black hair, up against Doutzen Kroes, with multi shades of blonde hair with dark roots! These girls traded in their delicate angelic Victoria Secret wings for hard core black leather, metal bras, spikes, chains and the highest heals to prove to the world that models are here to stay and they will fight for that “Super” title. At the end of the day super models are not going anywhere, no actressses could ever do this shoot without it looking like a joke. Watch out Gwyneth, Angelina, and Charlize, these super girls are ready to take back the glossy pages of the magazines and do what they where put on this earth to do what they do best…… STRIKE A POSE!!!

Maria… Maria …. Maria
Posted by Anthony Leonard Salon | Filed under Events, Hair Products, Media, Movies, Music, Products, Services
Mercedes Benz Fashion week is always filled with fabulous people. These Fall RTW 2012 collections were more about the who’s who in the front row. One of our all time favorites , Maria Sharapova , knows how to make an entrance and cause a frenzy on the court, but the real commotion starts when she is spotted at all the hottest shows! Celebrity make up artist and friend of the AnthonyLeonard Salon , Andie Markoe -Byrne, teamed up with Leonard Zagami, Creative Director of ALS, to complete Maria ’s looks for the shows. Read on as Leonard explains the 3 looks he gave the grand slammer for this very fashionable NYC Week!
Marc Jacobs:
Maria , seen here with famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier and his wife Mia , had a slightly pinned back side part . “I used Super Shine Cream by Oribe to get a sleek look with out it being too overdone” says Zagami. ” I also used a Kent Brush ( for fine hair) to help smooth down fly-aways”. Maria usually parts her hair in the middle so this was a great change for her!
Vera Wang:
Maria is pictured here sitting next to Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour . “I met Maria early in the morning, and washed and treated her hair with Oribe Shampoo and Masque for Beautiful Color. After a simple blow out her hair felt so great and ultra clean I didn’t need anything else , I wanted her highlights to pop since she had gotten them done the day before by my partner Anthony Palermo at my salon!
Oscar de la Renta:
Backstage with the designer himself , Maria wanted a more glamorous look by wearing a boudreaux colored hat. ” This is tricky ” explains Zagami . ” Hats can flatten hair, and if she decided to take it off , I want her hair to still look full and polished. For this I used Oribe Volumista section by section and used a 1- 1/2 inch curling iron and finished with Oribe Superfine Hairspray to achieve an evening wave without it looking to beachy or frizzy “.

Even if its a short month, our Artist of the Month , Josh Farrington, is known for his long sexy layers and red carpet styles. He’s the perfect antidote for hair that lacks TLC and we guarantee Cupid’s arrow will strike you with one swipe of his scissors!!
Q-1 How long have you been a NYC hairdresser?
JF-I’ve been a hairstylist in NYC for 8 years.
Q-2 What is your specialty when it comes to hair?
JF-My specialty would probably be attention to detail. Detailed adjustments to haircuts make all the difference .
Q-3 What are some of your predictions for the future in the beauty industry?
JF- Haircuts are so much more personalized than 10 years ago and I expect it only to continue. Geometrical haircuts with strong lines will have their turn again soon as clothing gets more futuristic each year.
Q-4 Give us a great tip for a bad hair day?
JF- Teased top knot takes 3 minutes. It’s chic, easily works with the natural texture of the hair, and can hide bad hair color temporarily!

JF-Linda Evangelista- timeless beauty, with just the right amount of edge.
Q-6 What music are you listening to on your I-pod these days ?
JF- Electronica dj Wolfgang Gartner is the man right now.

Q-8 What’s the last film you saw?
JF- I haven’t seen it but would love to see the silent film “The Artist”.
Q-9 Who is your favorite fashion designer?
JF- Jean Paul Gautier is my all time favorite designer. Famous as he is, I feel he is still underrated
Q-10 What is your favorite ALS retail product?
JF- Moroccanoil Hair Spray has the right kind of hold without stiffness.

The Dragon personality is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast – the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.
