Fancy cloths and expensive accessories mean nothing unless you know how to pull yourself together. The first step, of course, is a great cut and color. It’s easy to get an appointment Fekkai, which seems to have become an upperclass Super Cuts. Sally Hershberger is a bit, what’s a nice way to say this– masculine. Not to add a bit full of herself. John Barrett, a tad BLOND!

What’s a girl to do? Find the next big thing! Shawn, who has no last name that I know of –he’s like the greats: Madonna and Cher– has been flying under the radar styling the tresses of super celebs and uptown gals from 30,000 feet in the air to his loft/salon down in Gramercy Park.

Most celebs want a cut of the action if you mention their names so I promised not to call anyone out. However, Mischa Barton wasn’t born with hair looking that perfect.

The deal with Shawn is that he was a high powered products developer for L’oreal. He would occasionally do a trim here or a color there for the friendly co-worker or passing fashion editor. Before he knew it his days were filled will gels and sprays and at night his living room was flooded with beauties looking for the best cut and color in town.

Now is where we get to the good part. Shawn believes long hair is sexy. So you don’t have to worry about him wanting to chop away those long locks. In addition, his color is as natural as it gets. What’s even better is that the cost is much less than a day’s salary. That even goes for a new college graduate. Without quoting numbers you can trust me when I say it’s a great deal. Not to be found elsewhere.
