Through the 60s, Falls were added to hair, often caught with jewels and ornaments as in this 1967 look up to there by Christophe Carita, La Maison de Beauté Carita, Paris, who are scheduled to reopen their famous multi-floor space, once occupied by Maria Antoinette’s wig maker, at 11 Rue Faubourg St Honore in September 2022.

Christophe Cartia was the nephew of the famous Carita Sisters, Maria and Rosy, and they all dominated the Paris hair scene in Paris from the ‘50s through the 60s, later merging with Shisheido.

Hooks & Eyes Hair by Roberto Perozzi - 2017

Photo: Takashi Imai

Introducing some beautiful hair inspirations by Roberto Perozzi, RPH Salon, Tokyo, Japan. He calls these gorgeous avant-garde looks “Hooks and Eyes” and we found them on two pages with more wonderful work in the December issue of Peluquerias Magazine. He has used silver clasps fastened on to the hair with hooks and eyes, used to great effect here and there on long straight hair.   The hair colors on the left are blue, gray, pink, yellow and the photo on the right is equally effective on a blonde. Perozzi has quite a background. Trained in Italy, then to Toni & Guy Advanced Academy in London, next to Trevor Sorbie, where he became the International Coordinator for the Trevor Sorbie Artist Team traveling the world educating, and since 2012 he has been in Tokyo.

It is 12 years since John Sahag left us to do the hair of the angels (January 2, 1952-June15, 2005.) The Lebanese-born Australian-raised Armenian became famous in Paris as the first internationally-recognized freelance hairdresser. He worked his magic on the heads of the supermodels and superstars of his era and made The Dry Cut famous in his John Sahag Workshop on Madison Avenue in NYC from 1985, still active in 2017.  This collage shows just some of his magic which made him so famous – with love. To read more about him, click HERE and to see  more of amazing work, click HERE (and HERE and HERE) – then go to HairThen, John Sahag on this website for more.  Read how-to’s, and lots of info under most photos, some like the décor album, under More on the Menu, a hoot, all informative.
