CommentBody Painting by Linda Mason – 1996
Photo: David Webber
Beautiful body painting and makeup by Linda Mason, makeup artist extraordinaire, about 1996. This was way before makeup artists were painting bodies. The mid-parted hair, going this way and that, was by Cynthia Varon for the John Sahag Workshop, who is now back at the Workshop after many moons. Flemenco feel from one of my articles in Spain’s Peluquerias Magazine .

CommentJohn Sahag Sideburns – 1985
Photos: Bruno Juminer
This Collection, created for the John Sahag Workshop Launch in 1985, was all about the sideburn – double and even triple sideburn effects.
“I find sideburns are a wonderful detail,” said the legendary hair icon, “they have their own charm and beauty to accentuate a cheekbone and define a look.” This was the beginning of long hair coming back in fashion. “People want to see a change and life is about change,” Sahag said, “feelings and sensitivity are always in motion, and so it should be with hair.”
There’s more sideburn styles, must-see amazing how-to’s and wonderful words to read in this iconic album. Go to HairThen, John Sahag, Press Photos on www.helenoppenheim.com

21st Century Big Frizz, by John Sahag at a John Sahag Workshop Creative Evening – in 1995.
John Sahag frizzed beyond frizz for “full-out texture” setting the hair with yards and yards of cut-up, flexible old electric wires – and he finished by adding the fauna off his seasonal decor here and there. Sahag noted: “I always keep in mind what the final result will be.
