cover look TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC The moment that Davines Artistic Director Angelo Seminara arrived on set for the company’s shoot at the Rivoli Ballroom—one of London’s last remaining intact 1950s-style ballrooms that was designed by Henley Attwater with a simple barrel-vaulted auditorium when it first opened in July 1913—inspiration kicked into high gear. “We thought this was an apropos spot to commemorate the launch of Davines View, a natural and innovative tone-on-tone system that supplies extreme shine, moisture and softness to the hair,” says Seminara. The line, featuring 40 shades, including special hues like Charcoal, Steel, Amethyst and Quartz, and one Gloss, helps to protect the hair structure, thanks to its acidic pH, and adds extra shine to locks. Another plus: View features biodegradable formulas and recycled packaging, too. Throughout shoot day, Seminara’s creativity was on full display. He imbued our cover model’s hair with a rich brunette hue by touching up the roots with Davines A New Colour, an ammonia-free permanent color, before removing it and applying View from the roots to the ends to create a seamless blend and multi- tonal effect. Stylewise, Seminara’s goal was to PHOTOGRAPHY: ANDREW O’TOOLE; MAKEUP/STYLING: ANGELO SEMINARA TEAM create something really beautiful and feminine. “I went for looks that are wearable and can be worn at work or at a party—whether you are inside or outside, they work,” says the internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist. “I do think that smooth hair is going to be on-trend for spring. In the last few years we’ve seen a lot of super- natural, almost grungy, hair to the point that the client didn’t need to go to their hairdresser for styling as much. Now we’re going to move to more polished looks with smooth textures. Also, watch out for curly hair, as it’s about to make a big CLOCKWISE FROM TOP Angelo Seminara comeback.”—Kelley Donahue puts the finishing touches on our cover model; models gather on the dance floor; the majestic Rivoli Ballroom; the new View demi-permanent color line from Davines; 10 americansalon.com February 2019 Seminara’s tools of the trade.

THINK TANK ■ HIS &HERS JACQ & JACK BRINGS AN INNOVATIVE SALON CONCEPT AND FRESH AESTHETIC TO AN EXPANDING ORLANDO NEIGHBORHOOD. CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT The barbershop has three chairs and a cozy waiting area; the entrance to the Primprose Room; salon owners Tiffany Cameron and Nate Alfonso; nail stations inside the Primprose Room. 16 americansalon.com February 2019
L ake Nona in Orlando, FL, also known as Medical City, is undergoing a renaissance of sorts. Tiffany Cameron and Nate Alfonso saw that as an opportunity, and jumped 2,500 miles from LA to introduce a new salon to the community. Aptly named Jacq & Jack, the 3,000-square-foot beauty spot takes a his and hers approach. Cameron, who has a background in hairstyling and skincare, and Alfonso, a business owner, officially opened the salon in August 2018 in Town Center, an area that is rapidly booming. Behind Jacq & Jack sits a 4M-square-foot retail, dining and entertainment development, and Lake Nona has plans to introduce a clear crystal lagoon, bringing the beach to an otherwise landlocked Orlando. “They have so many great innovative outlets here, and we wanted to be a part of something from the ground up,” Cameron says. “We’re in phase one, but developments are happening every single day.” As for the salon concept, Cameron took care to offer both the his and the hers, down to the smallest details. “I wanted to make sure that we were allowing that separation of space to give each area exactly what it needs,” she says. “It really caters to men on the barbershop and caters to women on the salon side.” On opposite ends of the entrance area, which offers cozy seating and a coffee shop that serves everything from cappuccinos to small pastries, is the salon and the barbershop. Additionally, there is a color processing area and the Primprose PHOTOGRAPHY:VANESSA BOY Room, a dry bar, nails, makeup, medi skincare, lashes and events area. Each has its own vibe, though the entire space has a minimalist style with a West Coast sensibility. “We’re going for this clean, modern, lifestyle feel,” Cameron adds. “The focus is on the artists and the craft.”—Kristen Heinzinger Caption to come here Olorerio omnis ea coribus elique verorro voluptaque cus sit, voluptur, venihil ipsum doluptate magnatia antorepe ne volupta doluptu riaepudit aute reriti quias quo mincto blab id et reic tem esed et CLOCKWISE FROM TOP Art by a local artist hangs near the styling stations; pink, plush pedicure chairs add to the Parisian vibes; the fully stocked coffee shop in the entrance; makeup stations in the Primprose Room.

BEAUTY VAULT ■ Curl Power DISCOVER THE TOP PRODUCTS TO KEEP CURLY HAIR HEALTHY AND HAPPY. About 85 percent of guests that walk through any salon door have texture to their hair, whether it’s a minimal wave or the tightest coil, says Daryce BrownWillis (@styledbyreece), owner of A Curl Can Dream in New York and a Mizani educator. That’s why it’s crucial to understand how to enhance texture, not only to build a ticket but to give clients options. “Right now, curly hair is on the cover of every magazine, it’s in movies and on TV, so more women are embracing their natural texture or they’re trying to get it,” she says. “But there’s no one size fits all, even if you fall into traditional curl pattern categories—curls are just as unique as fingerprints. It’s not a matter of which product is better, but which product to pick for the results the client wants.” Here, check out a few products that “The best way for curls to flourish is to define them when will keep your curly-haired clients coming back.—Kristen Heinzinger they’re wet.

TALK SHOW ■ Young Americans KEVIN NGUYEN K eevin Nguyen (@yakuzabarber) grew up in a family of hairstylists, but joining the beauty industry wasn’t a sealed deal for him. It wasn’t until his father introduced him to barbering that his interest really piqued. Now the winner of Wahl’s Barber Battle and a new member of the Wahl Education and Artistic Team [W.E.A.T.], he can’t imagine doing anything else.—Michelle McKelvey KEVIN NGUYEN AHA MOMENT I wasn’t sure if I wanted to follow the same path as my family. My father eventually introduced me to barbering, and the more hair textures I came across, the more interested I became. TRAINING DAYS Fortunately for me, my parents opened up a barbering college—California Barber and Beauty College—and that’s where I went for my education. CLAIM TO FAME PHOTOGRAPHY: COURTESY A career high-point for me was owning my own shop at a young age, but my most recent accomplishment was winning the Wahl Barber Battle and being given an honorary one-year term as a W.E.A.T. member.

TEAR SHEETS ■ Scotch with aTwist Dylan Brittain, international artistic director at Rainbow Room International, experiments with color to create looks that are out of the ordinary. The dexterous hands of Dylan Brittain, owner of Rainbow Room International’s George Square Salon in Glasgow, Scotland, and a Schwarzkopf UK ambassador, worked his magic to create Kroma, a collection that focuses on the purity and power of color to draw parallels between the individual and individuality. To get the hair just right for the shoot, Brittain used a variety of color techniques and processes. “For the bolder looks, I prelightened the hair prior to applying the bright haircolor,” says Brittain, adding that color-blocking and color paneling techniques were likewise key. “Kroma’s blunt hair shapes and pops of color are what’s on-trend for 2019.”—Kelley Donahue 26 americansalon.com February 2019
PHOTOGRAPHY: JOHN RAWSON @ WWW.THERAWSONPARTNERSHIP.NET; MAKEUP: MADDIE AUSTIN; FASHION STYLING: CLAIRE FRITH OPPOSITE PAGE Dylan Brittain created a short bob shape that was cut above the ear to showcase the model’s facial features before creating the fringe. Haircolor was then panelled through the hair to accentuate the entire cut. “The red hue paired with the dark base provides stunning contrast and mega-shine,” says Brittain. THIS PAGE Before the hair was lightened and colored with a sunshine-like yellow hue, Brittain cut it into a super-short pixie shape with short fringe, then styled the design with texturizing spray to achieve a messy, edgy vibe.

To achieve this look, Brittain used a color- blocking technique in the fringe area, contrasting the bright green hues against a dark brunette base. 28 americansalon.com February 2019
TEAR SHEETS ■ To achieve a very choppy finish resembling a shag cut, Brittain styled the hair with Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ texturizing products to achieve an effortless, undone finish. February 2019 americansalon.com 29
For this look, Brittain cut the hair into a short, blunt bob before using color-blocking techniques to play up contrast between the dark green hues and light blonde base. He then styled the design super straight for a sleek, shiny and smooth finish. 30 americansalon.com February 2019
After cutting the hair into a pixie crop, leaving lots of length on top, Brittain lightened and colored strands to achieve a neon- like fiery orange hue. A bit of wax finished the look, supplying height and texture. February 2019 americansalon.com 31

Rhythm GORGEOUS COLOR AND SOFT, LOOSE and Hues STYLES BLEND TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY IN ANGELO SEMINARA’S NEW COLLECTION FOR DAVINES. Rich color embellishes styles with a feminine edge in this exclusive collection from Angelo Seminara, created to commemorate the launch of View, a new demi-permanent color system from Davines that features biodegradable formulas housed in recycled plastic bottles that tones bleached or lightens natural hair, evens out color, revives lengths and ends, and covers grays up to 50 percent. “Nothing is over the top and everything is suited to the face and personality of the model,” says Seminara, who called on View to add dimension, moisture and softness to the hair in the portfolio. Movement also played a key role. “Looks ranged from soft, loose waves and curly texture to a long bob with a ’60s feel but without too much volume to keep it cool and young,” says Seminara. “We also had beautiful long hair that’s dressed with glamorous texture and a silky straight hair look that’s really sharp.” Photographer ANDREW O’TOOLE Editor KELLEY DONAHUE 36 americansalon.com February 2019
OPPOSITE PAGE To achieve this look, Angelo Seminara used his Flamboyage technique to achieve beautiful natural highlights, then used View as a MAKEUP/STYLING: ANGELO SEMINARA TEAM gloss to enhance the transparency of tones. THIS PAGE Seminara used View as a gloss to enhance the model’s natural red hair, keeping it on the subtle side while maintaining its soft, natural texture.
After prelightening the hair with the Davines Century of Light bleaching system, Seminara used View to add shine and sparkle, and to neutralize the blonde hue without it being overtaken by the tone.
Seminara colored the roots with Davines permanent color and Mask with PHOTOGRAPHY: Vibrachrom before using View to refresh the mid-lengths and ends. “This created a seamless blend, vibrancy and shine,” says Seminara. February 2019 americansalon.com 39
All in the Mix STEPHANIE AND ASHLEY GAMBLE PUSH HAIR INTO BOLD NEW TERRITORIES WITH EXTRAORDINARY HUES AND STRIKING STYLING ALTERNATIVES. Shot for the British Hairdressing Awards, Elements, the latest collection from dynamic hair duo Stephanie and Ashley Gamble, balances the raw power and fragile beauty of the world around us with a surprising mix of colors, dynamic cuts and hairstyling. “At its core, it’s all about expecting the unexpected,” say the Gambles. “That’s what makes it so interesting.” Photographer RICHARD MILES Editor KELLEY DONAHUE 40 americansalon.com February 2019
OPPOSITE PAGE After moving through the purple shade spectrum—from cool, dark indigo tones to bright, pinkish violet—the Gambles cut hair into a blunt shape, incorporating windswept wisps. “The look captures a contradiction of seasons, with one side cool, shadowy and breezy while the other is warm and bright, as if lit by the sun,” say the Gambles. THIS PAGE The Gambles called on beautiful pink and yellow hues found in a sunrise to accentuate this wispy, short, textured crop.
This look from the Gambles pairs vibrant and intense red hues reflective of a gorgeous sunset with a sleek and sultry asymmetric crop.
For this unique look, the Gambles paired a subtle palette of hues reminiscent of a rainbow and sunset with a blunt, straight style and undercut. PHOTOGRAPHY: February 2019 americansalon.com 43

american dream FAMILY TIES THE ZAZÚ SALON GROUP IS CELEBRATNG 40 YEARS AS A CHICAGO BEAUTY STAPLE. S alvatore Segretto opened his first salon, Zazú, in 1979 in the Chicago suburb Hinsdale after a life-changing trip to the hairdresser’s mecca of the day: Sassoon Academy in London. “I fell in love with the instant gratification of creating something, and I realized I could make people happy, which is really what this business is all about,” he says. His biggest takeway from Sassoon was to seek perfection. “Equally important, I learned that if you really love what you do, it gets through to the people around you,” he adds. That mentality has kept him at the top of his game four decades and five locations later, and it’s an attitude he’s passed on to his three sons, who joined Zazú. Anthony is a licensed hairdresser; Sean, who has an inventory background, is in charge of purchasing; and Michael, who has accounting experience, runs strategic development. Zazú’s success didn’t come without work. “One thing that helped us grow was an extensive training program [and facility] I developed,” Salvatore says. “Today, we’ve trained hundreds of talented hairdressers in the area.” With four salons and a barbershop, White Buffalo, the business continues to evolve. Its training facility is undergoing a renovation and expansion, which will host the L’oréal Professionnel Expert Network in May, and the Naperville location was recently rebranded and introduced a rewards program for clients that gives free services for a certain amount of product purchased. FROM TOP Zazú is celebrating 40 years “My goal has always been to provide the best service in business; Salvatore Segretto (center right) with his sons Sean, Anthony and wherever I am,” Salvatore says. “There’s always room to improve. Michael; the salon group expanded to It’s a fashion business, and you have to be willing to change. And, include a barbershop, White Buffalo. I’ve never lost passion for what I do.”—Kristen Heinzinger 46 americansalon.com February 2019
