My new blog is just up on Modern. Some Stunners from the Intercoiffure America Canada Fall Atelier for 2016. The knock-out sensation at the event was the Aussie Whirlwind, Sharon Blain. Here is her lace cap with a cascade of unusual textured hair frothing from it. Check out her “Twisted Aura” Collection and more from other talents at the event.

Gone With The Wind Re-Created – 1987

On December 15, 2014, it will be 75 years to the day since the World Premiere of Gone With The Wind, that legendary movie, the most celebrated in movie history, starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara. In 1987, I had this brainwave to produce a press release for La Coupe with hairstyles inspired by the movie. The gorgeous hair for the Tara Collection was by the great Kim Lepine, the fantastic fashions styled by Ariane Phillips, who later styled for Madonna, the exquisite photographs were by Geoffrey Hargrave Thomas. We left NY at 6 am and returned from the shoot in Connecticut at 3 am. Here is the corset scene, and the snood at the ball. For more on this story and more photos go to my new blog on the redesigned Modern Salon, click

CommentHelen Oppenheim Speaks – 2014
Here I am speaking to Maggie Mulhern, Beauty and Fashion Director of Modern Salon, giving her an update on this website, backstage at Fall 2014 New York Fashion Week. Once again, she caught me unawares and I was totally unprepared but a good interview, because Maggie was prepared and she made me look good. With an iPhone. And a great haircut by Edward Tricomi.
