Have you ever...

had a haircut that was so good that you could go for days without doing anything to it and it still looked terrific?  Have you ever had a time when you put on a hat, took it off, ran your fingers through your hair, and had your hair look like it had just been brushed?  Have you ever gotten caught on a windy day with your hair whipping around your face like a kite, walked inside, and had every hair fall into place?

 

If the answer is no, then you have never experienced the luxury of a classic Dry Cut.

 

Contrary to what stylists at most salons will tell you, a dry cut is not merely cutting the hair dry. It is a specialized technique that was forefronted by the late John Sahag, who learned the unusual technique in Paris.  Sahag introduced the Dry Cut in New York City, where it became central to the runway world of high fashion and a signature of many of Hollywood's most celebrated stars.

 

The primary quality of a dry cut is that your hair moves.  It swings, bounces, and swirls, and still maintains its characteristic great shape.

 

Tragically, John Sahag died in 2005 at the peak of his popularity. Fortunately, he had hand picked and personally trained an elite group of talented coiffure artists who learned his specialty cut that is more like sculpting than cutting.

 

Many haircut practitioners will tell you they can give a dry cut... but all they will do is cut the hair dry.  It takes years to learn and perfect the Dry Cut technique, and few have the talent or wherewithal to achieve its intended perfection.  To be certain that you are not deceived, ask where they learned to give the dry cut, and then check with the John Sahag Workshop in New York City.  There is only a small nucleus of the original Sahag team around.

 

One eminent stylist who is a member of the stellar Sahag team is Mark Schwartz.

 

Schwartz teaches and works at the Sahag Workshop on Madison Avenue in New York, and also does independent Dry Cutting for a select group of clients in New Jersey.  Once you have had Schwartz cut and style your hair, there will be no remote substitute.  Women who care about their hair travel from coast to coast to treat themselves to Schwartz's world renowned Dry Cut.

 

Things to know..

A Dry Cut takes about two hours from inception to completion; however, you can go months without having to return to the salon.  As the Dry Cut grows out, it does not lose its shape; it just gets longer.  This is a huge plus for women who do not want the same look month in and month out, as well as for those who don't have time for frequent trips to the salon.

Additionally, a dry cut costs about twice as much as a normal haircut; however, you save money in the long run, as it is not necessary to cut the hair as often.

 

Once you have had the unparallelled experience of Schwartz's sensational Dry Cut, you will know that there is no substitute.  You will join the list of stylish women and celebrities who are dedicated to the Dry Cut technique.  Mark Schwartz can give you the cut of your dreams, make sure that your hair always looks gorgeous, and set you free from the tedium of daily hair labor.

Dear Mark,

 

As you know, I recently suffered a shoulder injury making it impossible to do my hair. At first I let my hair go for many days as I spent most of my time in bed since it hurt to move...hair still looked good. After almost a week I enlisted my husband to blow dry my hair. I think in all probability it was the first time he had a hair dryer in his hand, his preferred tool being a chain saw. However, Chain Saw Husband stepped up to the plate and the hair still looked good. Eventually, I began to do my hair myself, feebly, and with no attention to detail.....hair still looked good.

 

You can't imagine how much of a psychological lift it gave me during my recuperation to have my hair looking good. It's bad enough to feel wretched, but to look wretched as well is a serious downer. I blessed you often during that challenging time. As a professional journalist, I can only give you the gift of words. As a woman who enjoys a great haircut, I can only give you the gift of my gratitude. You are my super haircut go-to guy.

 

Thank you for your generosity and dogged determination to make my unruly hair gorgeous...you have succeeded.

 

Gratefully,

Carole
