One is located adjacent to the American embassy and his newest salon opened in the Four Seasons Hotel, where his staff services a steady stream of dignitaries and VIPs. “I am so precise about client care,” he says, “that the salon has its own dry cleaning area for towels and an upper level VIP area for clients requiring the utmost privacy.” Bazzi’s brother Mohammed serves as the make-up artist for the business, and there are plans to open additional salons in New York, Rome and Paris. In 2007, Bazzi had the honor of being the first Arab hair stylist to participate in the Miss Universe pageant, thanks to his association with Farouk Systems. “I have worked with many brands,” he comments, “but I feel that this company offers incomparable service, great products and high-quality training.” Photography: Fares Aljammal Make-up: Mohammed Bazzi Clothing designer: Ramez Nasser 22 Volume IV, Issue 15
