Not all revolutions require blood and guts. Sometimes they require Francky L'Official, armed only with a pair of scissors and guts of another kind -- creative guts, the ability to see beyond the current trendlets (for long wavy hair or short wispy cuts, stripey streaks or delicate mono-colored hair) to the larger fashion moment.The Upper East Side is known for many things -- its sheltered, quiet streets and glistening array of upscale merchandise -- but it has never been known for being on the cutting-edge of style. To acquire a look that is truly chic without being slavishly "fashionable" usually requires a trip to a downtown -- or at least midtown -- salon, where savvy stylists are inspired by what is taking place on the runways and the streets rather than by imitating the latest Vogue 'do. Until now.All this has changed with the arrival of Francky L'Official on Madison Avenue, in the heart of the staid Upper East Side. Inspired by his Parisian roots, Francky brings his French insouciance and creativity to a place in need of a jolt of new talent and fresh eyes.Born with a gift for the fine art of hair design, Francky began his career with renowned coiffure Jacques Dessange and quickly became Artistic Manager, developing a creative team of stylists known throughout France for their ability to merge beauty with up-to-the-minute fashion trends.While continuing to train Dessange stylists in Paris, Francky traveled around the world creating looks for the most elite fashion shows in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Several years of experience and a growing demand for Francky’s services led him to be recognized with the prestigious Mondial Hair Show award a short time later.Francky’s vast travels have provided him with an unlimited source of inspiration that he uses to fuel sheer glamour on Madison Avenue. In October 2005, Francky contributed his name to Francky L’Official Salon with the intention of supporting a new and exciting brand in the world of haute coiffure hair styling.
