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?

LZ: 27 years and now I co -own AnthonyLeonard Salon on  Madison Avenue in NYC.

ALS:  Who are some of the A-listers that you have worked with?

LZ: Mariah Carey, Madonna, Naomi Watts, Christy Turlington, Hayden Panatierre, Michelle Williams, Helena Christensen, Maria Sharapova, Leona Helmsley, and rock and rollers Bruce Springsteen and Roger Daltrey !

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?

LZ: If your doing it at home it is with a professional stylist only! I think the at home chemical work will fade out! No do it yourself color, relaxers or perms!

ALS: What is playing on the salon sound system that your in love with?

LZ: Lana Del Rey is one of my favorites right now .

ALS: What is the best film you have  seen lately?

LZ: Cabaret with Liza Minelli . It is timeless!!!!

ALS: Where besides NYC would you love to live?

LZ: Tulum , Mexico…. Paradise!

ALS: Who do you think is the all time ultimate beauty?

LZ:  Christy Turlington, she is an icon in the fashion and beauty business. She was the first supermodel I ever worked with for a Vogue shoot!

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!
