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

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

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

MAGIC MIRROR
THE COLOR CONSULTATION has officially entered the
future—Coty recently unveiled the Wella Professionals
Smart Mirror, which uses augmented reality to enhance the
haircolor experience, from the consultation to aftercare. The
mirror uses the CareOS operating system and was created
with the help of Wella Professionals hairstylists and salon
owners to ensure that it’s practical for use in the salon. It can
be run on devices including tablets or smartphones, making
it portable and useful for salons of any size.
The Smart Mirror key features include:
■ Live AR haircolor try-on that allows real-time visualization
of color in the mirror during the consultation phase
■ Facial recognition technology that enables the retrieval of
past looks and services
■ Curated feed of content, including trending and classic
looks, to allow the client to browse for inspiration
■ 360-degree video capture of the hair at every angle,
eliminating the need to use another mirror to see the final
result, with the ability to share images on social media
■ Connected mobile application, allowing stylists to stay in
touch with their clients in between visits. Clients can also
access the platform from anywhere to connect with their
stylist, get product recommendations, personalized tips
and trends or schedule an appointment
■ Touchless technology that responds to swipe hand
gestures, enabling a seamless experience.—KH

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

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.
SOCIAL BUTTERFLY
My Instagram handle is @yakuzabarber, and you can also

WORDS TO LIVE BY
“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every
time we fall.”—Confucius
SECRET WEAPONS
I’ll use anything that Wahl creates—they’re the most reliable
tools for barbers and stylists.
MY MENTORS
My mom and dad have been my biggest mentors throughout
my life, and that still holds true to this day!
BUCKET LIST
I constantly dream of traveling the world and donating my
services to the less fortunate.
BRIGHT FUTURE
My time as a W.E.A.T. member is just getting started. I’m
looking forward to sharing my education and passion around
the world.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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
