An Afternoon With Hair Extraordinaire Rossano Ferretti, Creator Of The Method Haircut
Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting celebrity hairdresser Rossano Ferretti at his New York City Salon in the Fuller Building on Madison Avenue & 57th Street.
As someone who is normally terrified of hair cuts (we’ve all been there), I was hesitant but could not pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. I mean clientele spotted at his salons include Kate Middleton, Pipa Middelton, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lawrence, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Dakota Johnson, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Mick Jagger’s family, Poppy Delevingne, Lady Gaga and the list goes on. I was sold at Jennifer Lawrence so I sucked up my fear, walked over to the salon, and I am so unbelievably happy I did.
Rossano created the famous “Method” haircut, that took 15 years to create, which is known for its natural fall, respect and interpretation of each woman’s individual style aka he’s not cutting hair just to cut it. Instead he focuses on each individual person and gives them a style that reflects the natural beauty of their hair and personality. And while it may seem like a ton of cutting is going on at the time, it’s done in such a way that you are left with with the most beautiful locks while the desired length is still in tact. This has led to a revolution in the way of understanding the style of hair and embracing it’s natural fall.
“I’ve always lived for this profession; I’ve always loved and respected it completely. Hair is definitely regarded as less important than music, architecture and painting, but it was what I could do and I did participate in my own way with the transformations of my time.” – Rossano Ferretti
With over 20 salons worldwide, Rossano’s salons include locations in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Maldives, New Delhi, Beijing, Shanghai, Dubai and Monaco. Because that isn’t enough to make Rossano stand out amongst the rest, he is launching a new haircare line formulated by a prestigious collaboration between scientists and the Rossano Ferretti global team of hairdressers.
At the center of this collaboration comes the finest natural botanical ingredients with active biotechnology that are sulfate, paraben, formaldehyde and SLS free. These products, Vita Rejuvenating Shampoo, Vita Rejuvenating Mask and Favoloso Mousse, will join his damage-free line and will be available this month.
Products are available at rossanoferretti.com, netaporter.com, saksfifthavenue.com, Sephora and SpaceNK.
