Touching on the subject of his craft, I ask” how does it feel to know that you are responsible for making both women & men feel like a million dollars when they get transformed by your techniques as a skilled hairdresser for over 15 years? AL replies”I think hairstylists are the most artistic people in the blue collar world. We can change someone’s whole appearance in just a short period of time. When we see that smile from a client in our chair after we’ve finished no dollar amount in the world can match it. My Salon is my personal empire. I have a four chair salon in the heart of Verona NJ and have owned it for about 5 yrs and I still am as happy to walk in here today as I was 5 yrs ago.”A.L.
