Josh So Posh

The month of February may be one of the coldest, but at ALS we predict rising temperatures. 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!

Q-5 Who is your favorite style icon of all time?

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-7 Where besides NYC would you want to live?

JF- Melbourne, Australia- I’ve never been but the city has always peaked my interest . In my head it’s the perfect place.

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.

Our Lady Of Grace


NYC, a freezing Saturday night in Oct .2011,The Wella Trends event held at The Tunnel was an amazing gathering of some of the country’s most talented hair dressers. The highlight of the night, a futuristic presentation given by Oribe, with model Ronie Brown .  Together they gave a  rundown of decades, from the 1930’s silvery  finger waves guided by a purple lazor light show in every curl, to a super straight 90’s bright yellow blonde Linda Evangelista inspired Beatles haircut. Next up was   a 60’s exaggerated pink Cat Woman look,  and the show stopper, the main event when the reinvented 80’s classic look of Grace Jones in a perfect shade of modern neon blue, complete with cigarette and lots of attitude! The colorist who made it all happen? None other than our very own Color Director Anthony Palermo. ” Oribe has me hypnotized ” says Palermo, “I see the color he is thinking and I bring it to life.” It is  another amazing colaboration between two true artists!
