Lorraine Massey, Devachan Salon & Departure Lounge, NYC
“Once upon a curl, a curly-haired teen in England began working in a hair salon. Lorraine Massey quickly became addicted to care of the hair and proceeded to take her scissors around the world…During her travels, Lorraine realized that curls existed everywhere–and so did curl care confusion!
“Armed with this rich experience and a unique perspective on curl types, curl challenges and curl solutions, Lorraine opened the Devachan Salon and Departure Lounge in the trendy Soho neighborhood of New York. The salon became a sanctuary where clients could develop a pro-curl attitude…and celebrate their curls. ‘It’s liberating when you learn to love your natural curls and not work against them,’ says Lorraine. With tens of thousands of enthusiastic clients as curly-girl devotees, Lorraine and a talented CURL-fessional team developed a complete collection of products for the curly lifestyle: DevaCurl.”

Haute Jeweler LIZASonia!
Custom-made and haute pieces from Liza Sonia jewelry and accessories for men and women! “LIZASonia’s design philosophy is simple: Start with the best quality materials, listen to its simplest design, then add elements of surprise.
“Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Liza always embraced art. Liza’s passion shows in every piece. She can look at a person or even hear him or her described, and pick out exactly the right design and color he or she would cherish. Highly intuitive, she uses this skill to design from within the materials. Picking up a rare stone, she adds, “I look at a stone and it tells me what it wants to be. The design is hidden, to be discovered along with its owner.”
*Check her out online as well as in Montclair Village Shopping Center, or contact her to make a personal appointment at her private studio in San Francisco!
