Hair talk for the season....

2012-01-03T11:39:00.001-08:00

At this time of year we are all combating the cold dry heat that is affecting our hair and skin. A few ways to help with this is to shampoo less and rinse more. It's also important to brush your scalp. I like to use a flat paddle brush in the shower to exfoliate my scalp- the natural oils keep it moisturizer so your hair won't be staticy. Using a leave in coditioner from Alterna will keep a nice balance of moisture in the hair. And or course, I'm a huge fan of pure argon oil.
The very best thing to have is a humidifier running in your bedroom so you keep one room as moist as you can which makes sleeping a dream.
Enjoy.

color! The highlights are starting to come through more like you said

Every once in a blue moon, you get the opportunity to do something truly special. Ever since I met Cj Collins, I was inspired! Inspired by her energy her ray of light and not to mention her body of works. I first cut Cj six months ago. She came in with long grown out but still beautiful hair. She wanted to cut it all off but I saw the opportunity to do something that I have been waiting 12 years to do. I suggested we do a full color gloss using a silver toner only. This just enhanced the grey and made it more silvery. Then we did a Brazilian straightening treatment to remove all the frizz and smooth out the course grey hairs. One this was done, I had the perfect canvas to paint on. I have been creating pieces like this for over a decade now but who better to do it on than Cj! Thanks Cj!!!!

Hello Marco (hair genius),

Rave reviews on my hair from everyone! Just want you to know it is unanimous......and also I would enjoy having any picture of my hair you made...and that you feel okay about sharing. I confess that I waited until today to wash my hair....! But it was okay and I was giving it the most possible time to become permanent...ha! I haven't given it a blow dry yet, but will in a few minutes.

If you are able to come by the studio please bring a supply of your cards. I only have one. Cross promotion, etc. I will also be at Martin's opening tonight at Number 35 Gallery...

Very very best, CJ

I used to hate my hair, but now strangers stop me on the street to ask me where I got it cut and to take pictures so they can have their stylists try to match the color. My hair is always different but invariably flattering. It reflects changes in fashion, without being trendy, and it's finally soft and manageable. I love Marco!

Today i did a creative with Gabrielle Revere. She is amazing and we worked with Ross who was one of the best male models i have ever worked with. He knew just what the camera wanted and he gave it up!

2009-08-25T14:23:00.000-07:00

I have been working on Andrea's color for about 8 months now. The long term goal was to use her natural grey as a hi lite in her hair. i have achieved this by using a base color that has no ammonia and no peroxide. Every so often, we do a few foil hi lites and what i end up with is a super soft. natural looking blond, just lovely!

Channeling my inner Venus to create these sexy haircuts!

2009-08-25T10:51:00.000-07:00

With Sarah's hair, i keep her layers long and fluid. I keep most of her layers underneath and remove the bulk rather than length. her haircuts just keep getting better and better with time.

With Laura, I decided to use the Brazilian Straightner on the underneath parts of her hair. i took a V section all the way around her hear. The idea was to minimize the bulk in between all her great layers. She now has a much easier time blow drying her hair and her hair looks longer since there is less bulk. Laura's color is also amazing, we do hi lift hiligts using various gold shades. It sparkles....!

HAIR COLOR

2009-08-18T15:20:00.000-07:00

I love playing with Gabriella's hair color. She is the perfect pallet to do ANY color on. Usually a person is a certain season, but not Gabriella- she wears all of them and she wears them all so well.

we have gone from bleached white blonde hair, to black, to dark deep cherry red to orange, pink, rasberry,

back to angel blonde, to strawberry red. Each time she comes in we work on a whole new pallet of colors. she challenges me and makes to think about all of my color training. i couldnt of done it without working with some of the best colorist in our industry!

Client Conversations

2009-08-18T13:21:00.000-07:00

I had an interesting conversation with a client today about "at what age should a women have shorter hair". This particular client is one of my oldest and favorite clients to work on. i remember back in the 90's when there was a certain age when women would cut all their hair off. It was almost like it was a social order to do so and that it was unacceptable for "older" women to have longer hair.

As i thought about it, if it were back in the 90's, there would of been an age given but these days, things are different! women cary themselves differently the attitude is different. there is no longer an age. When it comes down to it, it's all about how you wear it not what your wearing!

My Clients

2009-08-13T13:56:00.000-07:00

I have finally found a place where i can post all my photos of the work i do on my clients. i feel like I'm the luckiest guy around because i love doing all my clients. it's a pleasure going into the studio every day! in this series you will see my color work and of corse, all of my haircuts. at first i was going to shoot all " before and afters of my clients but soon realized that all my clients walked in looking fabulous!

*please note that none of these photos have any post production done on them. they are the real deal.

Marco,

I am absolutely thrilled now that I have had the Brazilian Hair Straightening...especially now that the hot, humid summer is upon us! It has made getting ready a snap now that I no longer need to flat iron my hair daily! Even when it is hot and humid outside, my hair remains pinstraight as if I just stepped out of the salon!!! Every summer I vacation in LBI and I have always been so disappointed that after flat ironing my hair to make it presentable, I had a headful of frizz literally moments after I stepped outside. If I had a nice curl to my hair, I would embrace it in the humid weather but, as you already know, my hair has a slight wave and has always been a frizzy mess in humidity! Now, even on the most humid of days, I look like I just left your very capable hands in the salon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! My hair has never been in better condition; I barely need conditioner and it remains silky soft. It has literally changed my life as I have NEVER had wash and go hair. It saves so much time and I will definitely recommend it to all my friends.

xoxo

I have had the pleasure of knowing Markus for about five years now. I was first introduced to his work when i moved to NYC, coming from Tokyo, i adored his sense of color placement and vibrancy. His work excited me, i felt happy and alive when i looked at his drip paintings and his drill paintings.
I saw my first installation of his in a Chelsea gallery in the early 2000's- i was overwhelmed! i am so honored and excited to now have his work living with me everyday. i am thrilled to look at it and when i do, I'm always see something new!
My clients also are amazed. its been so fun watching peoples expressions while they try to figure out the brilliance. Everyone has been picking out their favorite colors within the piece!
Its so much fun!
come check it out in person.

How are you? I think about you just about everyday! I grew my hair long cause I don't trust anyone to cut it! You spoiled me and no one else will ever measure up to you. I hope all is wonderful with you and I hope to hear from you soon!!
Much Love
Thom

The next wave in hair care....NATURAL INGREDIENTS!

2009-06-15T14:28:00.000-07:00

The one scary thing about looking good is that practically all the products we use today are packed with chemicals like sulfate and other synthetic properties. Shampoos, conditioners and styling solutions have so much of these mixed into them that it actually seems they do us more harm than good. In fact, it was just discovered that "paraben," a preservative used in beauty products like shampoo and make-up, is a carcinogen! That is insane: we've been exposed to so much damaging chemicals that we may need to start asking ourselves if being beautiful is worth it.

But of course it is. We just need to avoid products that have too much of these chemicals, and start using products that recognize the importance of being beautiful and healthy. We don't need all these ingredients. Let's go back to the basics. Being beautiful doesn't need to be so complicated!

I've always believed in keeping things simple and natural. Right now, I am using a fabulous new product called BISH, which is an all-natural, moisturizing shampoo minus all the synthetic, hair-deadening agents. The shampoo contains only lush and proven effective ingredients like sea kelp and alginates. This shampoo is excellent for hair and scalp health---the difference is obvious in just a couple of months. Unfortunately, the store does not carry this shampoo or anything like it yet. It's a brand new product and I am privileged to be able to use it at my studio. (And it comes in a beautiful glass bottle, which I love).

It's all about taking a step back and rediscovering the natural.

The hotter it gets outside, the simpler your hair should be.

From all over

2009-05-29T12:05:00.001-07:00

I've got really beautiful pieces taken from all over Manhattan inside the new studio. There's an interesting story attached to most of it, too.

I got that gorgeous mirror from someone who's left the fashion industry to travel the world. I painted a smaller one (which was originally gold) white and hung it across the other wall.

I rescued one of my fixtures from an old house that was being demolished. It's crazy to think how such a beautiful lamp was almost smashed along with the walls.

That couch was given to me by my best friend. This and the floor are the only two contrasts to all the white and the light.

(By the way, I'm proud to say that everything in this studio is proudly made in the United States of America).

2009-05-29T11:06:00.000-07:00

A lot of things happening as I prepare for my first full week in this new studio.

This week saw me running around, having to change the addresses on my cards---I'm now at Suite 740, 611 Broadway. I had to return to Ikea for the nth time, because apparently the rack from which my newly-bought shelf would hang from had to be purchased separately (of course nobody told me that). Then I went and got hair from the hair district for a client and then off to the flower district for some flowers.

This was on a Wednesday, and everything had to be done before 5 pm because I had a color client, and then I needed to try out an assistant who might be able to help me with do weddings.

(Oh, and then I had to photo document my sink and figure out what was wrong with the chair since it's so uncomfortable. I definitely need to get a new one).

And finally I had to prepare for a Good Housekeeping shoot the next morning. All in one day. I've never been more psyched. More to come.

And so we begin...

2009-05-26T10:31:00.000-07:00

First thing on the agenda. The floor. The foundation. The base from which everything will rest upon.

All my life I've wanted to have dark floors. I love the dramatic earthiness of rich, dark wood, but never had a floor space big enough to get away with it. As soon as I saw this space, I knew I was going for it. This studio will definitely have dark floors.

After they sanded it out my best friend and I got down and did the staining and coloring ourselves.

Three days of furious scrubbing, and I got my coffee stain floors--- a beautiful contrast to the white walls, as Erica, who's in the picture on the right commented. (She's the first ever client in this new studio).

THE BEFORE PICTURE

2009-05-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

As with all great makeovers let's do the before picture first. This space came calling exactly three weeks ago.

I had long wanted to have my own studio. I really have a tendency to get bored when I'm surrounded by the same walls too long, but I honestly didn't want to leave this great neighborhood, much less this building. So then this empty, lonely space (27 x 15 ft. 550 sq.ft) came up and I thought it was absolutely perfect. I could already imagine the things I could do with a place like this.

Seriously, it called to me.

THE AMAZING SAGA OF MY STUDIO, a prologue

2009-05-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

Everything is coming together. Three weeks of acting as handyman---painting, hammering, screwing, cleaning and churning out my manual skills---is paying off beautifully.

It seems each piece is determined by this cosmic destiny to be here. Everything is just coming together so perfectly, contributing to a fantastic sense of energy.

Because the process has been so exhilarating, I want to share the entire story: the great coming-together of this studio from day one---- plants, sinks, buddha statues and power tools included. Stay tuned.

very exciting new

Today's Beauty Tip: how to deal with all the rain, get smooth frizz free hair

2009-04-11T11:19:00.000-07:00

Today's beauty tip: in the rainy weeks to come, remember to use a smoothing creme in your hair to keep the moisture out and the shine in. i love ALFAPARF's Diamonti smoothing creme because its light and works beautifully to keep frizz down and your hair smooth.
use a small amount on your damp hair, work it thru from your scalp right down to to your ends. blow dry on high heat for just a few minutes focusing on the root area ONLY, then switch to medium heat to finish your blow dry remembering to always work down the cuticle layer {blowing the air down the hair shaft} to keep it smooth. finishing your blow dry with a shot of cool air will seal your cuticle and give your hair a smooth shinny look.
any questions....? drop me a line

Collodion Photography

2009-04-05T21:25:00.000-07:00

im really excited about this process of photography called Collodion. in a digital world, its nice to step away from high resolutions and pixels for a moment. this 18th century style of photography is what you see every time you see a picture of Abraham Lincoln.
Roberts camera was newly constructed in the same way the original 18th century cameras were built. the lens is an actual lens from the 18th century that he found, of course, on ebay.
put an artistic format like this in the hands of a bunch of creative people and you get something extra ordinary.
enjoy

Marco's sixteen years in the beauty industry have not only provided him with a wealth of experience but have also earned him great respect in the fashion industry. He began his freelance career in Tokyo, where he picked up an Eastern concept of hair styling as art as well as new attitudes toward color and cut. In his quest to learn and share his experiences, he has continued to travel the world as a master colorist and educator. In his collaboration with members of the entertainment and fashion industries, Marco's work has been showcased worldwide.

"My goal with every client," Marco says, "is to create that perfect haircut based on bone structure, body shape, lifestyle, and overall image. I use color in a modern way to create a luxurious texture within the hair, leaving it shimmery and full of movement."

Marco's stylings have hit the red carpet on the heads of Susan Sarandon, Hillary Duff and Tyra Banks.
