What's too dry, too dull, too frizzy? A curly girl's hair, of course! But unlike past years when nothing short of heavy, greasy products and harsh relaxers could force her recalcitrant strands to behave, today's options can convince even the most stubborn coils to calm down and play pretty.
Junior Style Stars - a beauty organization that's devoted to creating prize-worthy bridal com-petitions for cosmetology stu-dents - recently crowned a new beauty queen...or rather a national student champion. Angelica Gomez, who's studying the art of professional beauty at the Los Angeles Trade Technical Collegein the City of the Angels, beat out 325 other competitors to win top honors, which included a heart-pounding $50,000 in cash, educa-tion and travel opportunities, as well as the chance to work with, and be mentored by, a bevy of renowned hairstylists. Gomez was presented her award during a sur-prise presentation by Junior Style Stars founder Paul Barry of Barristar Productions andcelebrity stylist Allen Edwards.
CHRIS BARAN Meet Redken's Top Hair Guru And Hair Master Extraordinaire by Elena Negreskul
At the beginning of my career, I had a wake-upcall when a client told me, "Chris, don't cut myhair today because I'm going to Montrealto get a good haircut."
Meet the Fabulous Luis Llongueras! Impertinent, humorous and driven to continue perfecting the art of hair, Spanish beauty icon Luis Llongueras celebrates 60 years in the world of professional beauty.
Ambitious right from the beginning of his fabled career, Llongueras opened his first salon when he was 20 years old-or 22, depending on which historian you choose to believe. Consumed by his passion for art, beauty and business, he eventually built a veritable empire of over 100 salons, including those in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Switzerland, Uruguay, Venezuela, and, of course, all over Spain. He founded the Llongueras Institute in Barcelona, a world-renowned academy where thousands of budding Europeans kick-start their beauty careers. And, after being smitten by the printed word, Llongueras also launched Peluquerias magazine, which remains the leading probeauty publication in Spain.
