Simone. She is an ingenious styist
who is a catalyst in an industry that
is both idealistic and revolutionary.When asked what influences her as an
artist, "I attribute my longevity in
this industry to what I consider to my
high standards of perfection and
strong ability to be a trendsetter by
developing new ideas and concepts. The
hair industry is a state of constant
flux and inspiration is every where.
One just has to have an eye or vision
to see it, the ideas to shape it,and the
artistic creativity to make it work.I also, incorporate my many world
travels into my style,which i like to
think of as one part ethereal and one
part urbane hip. I am also (influenced)
by stylist I respect and hold in high
regaurd such as Heather O'keefe of Time
Salon,in Brooklyn New York and the
world reknowed Oscar James.My influence encourages my clients to
see themselves through the world's
eyes. I always impart to them that the
best part of thier look,it the way they
choose it. In that they can choose to
have a look that does not fade or blend
in with the masses; a look that will be
and more often than not is envied and
adored.Be prepared to become one of the privi-
leged. Marie Simone is an artist that
influence to influence others through
her style which is art.*The difference between mediocrity and
excellence is attention to detail*MARIE SIMONE
