On my recent trip to New York city for fashion week I stopped by at the Warren Tricomi salon at The Plaza Hotel. The salon is just beautiful! I was there to cover hair and makeup for the Luca Luca fashion show for Fall 2009.

I met Edward Tricomi and Joel Warren which was quite a thrill for me.

After I was introduced to Edward Tricomi I asked Edward if he approved my hairstyle. Edward examined my hair for few seconds and asked if he can fix my haircut because “it just doesn’t flow”. His assistant blew dry my hair and prepared it for that one in a lifetime haircut opportunity with Edward Tricomi. There I was getting my hair done by Edward Tricomi.

Needless to say, Edward Tricomi did an amazing job! I LOVE how he fixed the pieces that frame my face. Although I chopped by hair right before New York Fashion Week about 6 inches (yes!!!) and I needed some time to get used to my new look, I was very pleased with my new hair. Before Edward Tricomi said goodbye to me he told me that he “cuts hair dry”!

I told Edward Tricomi that I liked his style! And between you (my readers) and I, he looks like a rock star.

Also, don’t forget to stop by The Plaza Beauty by  Warren Tricomi where you can shop the finest makeup and skincare brands, such as: Becca Cosmetics, Dianne Brill, Tocca, Zelens, and more.
