It’s probably one of a hair stylist’s greatest fears: A woman with frizz-prone, rebellious hair enters a salon on the most humid day of the summer thus far and asks for a smooth blow-out that will last for a few days. Such was the challenge that I posed to stylist Anthony Dickey when I recently visited his new Manhattan salon, Hair Rules. But he didn’t bat an eye; in fact, he didn’t even use any styling products save for shampoo and conditioner (from his product line Hair Rules, of course). Bold move, I thought. By day’s end, my hair was still flawless; the same held true for days two and three. Needless to say, I was a quick convert. According to Dickey, his Daily Cleansing Cream Shampoo, which I nabbed a bottle of immediately, did the trick—”humidity only attacks dry hair.” But Dickey is offering more than just the perfect blow-out at his recently opened salon in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. A textured-hair guru who has worked his magic on everyone from Michelle Obama to Estelle to SJP, there is no wave, curl, or kink that he’ll shy away from. And that’s good news for a city with a surprising lack of salons savvy in hair of the textured variety. For more information or to book an appointment, call (212) 315-2929.
