The Elite

With heels on, hair did, and phones out, our Hair crew bounced out of the Big Apple hotel onto the city streets ready to capture bonding moments. Taking in the skyscrapers, we did a headcount all the while flapping our wings with excitement like birds out of their cage.

After a day of bouffant runway hairstyles, a rodeo cowboy motivation speaker and the do’s and dont’s of social media, we were ready to celebrate Hair’s co-owner and mentor Cate Mastrianni’s induction into the elite group of hairstylists, Intercoiffure, that held the extravagant event.
The particularly warm fall air this early October evening had us free from jackets, keeping our bodies as light as our spirits.

Cate was trained by many trade masters; Hair founder Charles Tuozzoli, Vidal Sassoon protege Roger Thompson, and razor cut guru Nick Arrojo to name a few. She was a first of Rusk educators and platform artists and continues to mentor the Hair team.
