Saks Fifth Avenue was the venue for Armani’s presentation of their Spring 2012 Resort Collection. Newbury St. stylists Sal Malafronte and Leah Sugrue created these amazing runway looks.
On Monday February 13th, Artistic Director Sal Malafronte and makeup artist Rose Fortuna styled hair for designer Michael De Paulo’s Fall 2012 “Look Book”. Salon Mario Russo is pleased to work exclusively with De Paulo whose designs have been featured in various publications such as Women’s Wear Daily, the Boston Globe and Stuff Magazine.
At the moment, my favorite celebrity hairstyle is Michelle Williams’. A short and sophisticated pixie cut is a great way to shake up your look, while still allowing yourself plenty of room for touches of personal style like accessories or color.
A similar pixie cut would look great on any face shape, with the exception of a long or oval shape, and requires an easy maintenance routine of a regular cut every four weeks. To style, use a touch of Mario Russo Styling Creme or Inflation and hold the finished look with pomades. Consider going for a great color, like red or blonde, as it adds a lot to the style!
Salon Mario Russo Artistic Director Sal Malafronte and editorial team: Monika Ramizi, Violet Furxhi, Tatiana Morgan and Marialisa Ravasini styled delicate up-dos for designer Gregory Paul’s fashion show benefiting the AIDS Action Committee.

Any hair cut or hair color change (whether it’s minor or dramatic) takes commitment. You need to commit to the change, commit to the upkeep, and let’s be honest…commit to the expense. If you’ve made the decision to color your hair, or are a veteran of the coloring process, keep in mind the importance of using the right shampoo and conditioner!
Use a shampoo and conditioner that will not only preserve your fantastic color, but protect your beauty investment! You’ll see a noticeable difference in the amount of fading and dryness simply by choosing the best products. My suggestion? ORIBE Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color!
If you’re looking to join the throng of women who have lately decided to make the change and get bangs, there are certain things you may want to consider before taking the plunge! Bangs have become a popular style, and can absolutely bring an extra element of style to your hair or general look, but be sure you are ready to commit!
First – consider your hair’s texture. If your hair is naturally curly, or you have a very strong curl pattern, bangs may be more difficult to style or keep up with. If you’re looking to liven up your ‘do, be sure to tell your stylist! We’re here to help create the best hairstyle for you!
Second – consider your lifestyle. Ask yourself if you will be willing to give your hair that extra attention and TLC that bangs need.
If you do decide to get bangs, have fun with the style! Try longer bangs for a side-swept look, or live on the wild side and cut them straight and blunt across the forehead for drama. Whatever you decide your Mario Russo stylist will be sure that the cut fits your personal style and complements the life you lead!
This January Mario visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and was particularly inspired by the timeless beauty and innovative simplicity of the exhibition: “California Design, 1930-1965 ‘Living In A Modern Way’”. Showcasing work by some of the period’s most influential graphic and industrial designers the 300+ objects are evidence of a major shift in modern design. The shapes, forms and textures that emerged during this period spoke directly to the effects of modernity on material culture. Mario cites the groundbreaking use of color and wood with clean minimalist lines as especially influential to his own work. Perhaps Greta Magnusson Grossman said it best in 1951 when she described these revolutionary works as “not a superimposed style but an answer to present conditions…it has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way.” These photographs represent examples of Mario’s favorite pieces.
To prevent your hair from “Catching Cold” this winter, treat it to a Hot Toddy and a Hair Mask. The Hot Toddy will be enjoyed by you, of course, while the mask invigorates your hair. Hair predictably dries out in the winter months due to indoor heat and the lack of outdoor moisture. Nothing revives the bounce and shine to hair as does a Hair Mask, a Mario Russo Hair Mask to be exact. With all of its natural oils, including Olive Oil, you’re sure to shake the winter out of your hair and make it shine, shine, shine! When your hair feels its best, it looks its best. So throw another log on the fire, a cinnamon stick in the toddy and a generous dollop of Mario Russo Hair Mask through your luscious locks and snuggle up in your favorite chair for an hour or so. Let a perfect moment begin!
The winter months can wreak havoc on hair for the holidays. Cold temperatures, dry indoor heat and a lack of moisture in the air can cause your worst hair nightmares, creating new challenges for our hair care and beauty maintenance routines. The overly dry atmosphere and cold weather elements deplete moisture from our hair and scalp, resulting in dry, brittle, shine-free locks, and dehydrated, malnourished and often itchy, irritated scalps.
Your healthy hair care routine that worked this past summer into fall most likely will require a few adjustments. Set aside your abrasive clarifying shampoos and opt for mild, hydrating, non-sulfate, color-safe gentler cleansers. Oribe offers one of the best, Ultra-Rich Shampoo for incredible softness and shine. Combine this with Oribe’s Signature Moisture Masque which may be used as your daily conditioner in smaller amounts or as your weekly deep penetrating treatment.
Reduce static and fly away strands by spraying a light mist of hairspray onto your hands or vented brush and work through from root to tip. Bumble and Bumble Shine Spray will also help to calm down your fresh blowout with just a few quick sprits.
Remember to stay hydrated from the inside out, keeping your water intake up is essential for healthy hair, skin and nails during the winter months
