The book, published by Durban House Press, chronicles Edwards’ rousing personal story of working behind-thescenes in the ’70s and ’80s in Beverley Hills’ swanky beauty industry—from designing Farrah Fawcett’s signature coif, to conquering his speech impediment while performing on stage. The book, $19.95, is available at Allen Edwards Salon and Spa in Brentwood and Woodland Hills, California as well as major bookstores. Edwards and his team of personally trained stylists have coiffed some of the world’s most recognizable celebs, including Brooke Shields, Ted Danson, Goldie Hawn, Raquel Welch and Donna Mills.

Chic and effortless-looking, celebrities including Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham have already been seen rockin’ the ‘do. “Fashion designers always look to previous eras for inspiration. Hair stylists do exactly the same thing,” says Pelusi. “The pixie cut is a throwback to the old Hollywood beauties of the ’50s and ’60s.” Pelusi’s tips on how to style the pixie: • Texture is tantamount. A good pixie should have a lot of short, different length pieces. When used with a texturizing product, the layers create voluminous, younger-looking hair. • Keep it sharp. Hair grows half an inch each month, so to pull off this look, hair should be cut once a month or every six weeks. • Side-sweep with bangs. Modernize this look with side-swept bangs. It will soften the overall appearance and bring more attention to the face. • Dirty is good. Avoid washing hair too frequently as it strips hair’s natural oils— leaving it frizzy and full of flyaways.—AS Makeup Artistry will open you up to a new world of opportunity Licensed by the Florida Department of Education Commission for Independent Education License #3170 school of makeup artistry Fort Lauderdale, FL 1-800-908-0544 or 954-564-4181 www.cosmixinc.com 18 DECEMBER 2008 www.modernsalon.com http://www.cosmixinc.com http://www.cosmixinc.com http://www.modernsalon.com
