Salon Peachy: Mover and Shaker Rodney Cutler Picks all the Wonderfuls for his Team at The Cutler Salon!!!

If you thought we could fit everything great we wanted to say about a visit to the Cutler Salon in one post, you are wrong. And, you must not have been there, YET.  Peachy Deegan is still swinging her hair from side to side glancing in every window she walks by in Manhattan, checking out the amazing fabulous striking accomplishment Jenny Balding achieved with Peachy's cut, but this time Peachy's going to tell you more about the color by  Ivan Vasilyevich.


Color is so important in life.  If your hair color is wrong, you will need to wear a hat more often but fortunately for Peachy, if this were to happen the best milliner in Manhattan is a Mover and Shaker as well as Rodney Cutler-check out Ellen Christine's hats not only at her boutique but also now at Henri Bendel.  Peachy has been so interested in color from the sky high pile of coloring books that won her coloring contests as a young child to her seventh grade science project of contact lenses for chickens-yes this is true, with the color red, chickens eat less, produce more eggs and are not cannibalistic....it was even in Life magazine at the time if you don't believe us; however, the color red belongs in the eyes of chickens, not on Peachy's head.  It takes a village to get the right hair color and you know how much we love love love Rachel Bodt who works at the Cutler Soho location-the color talent runs deep at Cutler and not only Ivan but also Ben Stewart were consulted to achieve the proper look.  And they executed it perfectly.

History tells us that Ivan IV of Russia was known as Ivan the Terrible.  However, it is Ivan the Wonderful that works for Rodney Cutler. Ivan the Wonderful got Peachy's natural shade just right, and better yet, he made the natural blond highlights (fewer this time of year) grow in in a perfect Peachy Golightly manner.  (If you don't know what that looks like you have been deprived of the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's so go watch that, and while you're at it, read Fifth Avenue Five am.  After you get your hair done at Cutler.)  Getting color right is like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears-don't make the color too warm like porridge that burns your mouth, don't make hair too weak so it breaks like baby bear's chair...Ivan the Wonderful makes the color JUST RIGHT.  Ivan will even talk to you about his opinion of the coaching of Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning's interview skills-yes, we love that the people at Cutler are well-versed in football, but you already knew that if you read our April review and Rodney's Mover and Shaker piece-he is an Australian footballer himself.  Different game, same fun.  We love love love Australian people from the famous Paulina and Ed who just honeymooned in Manhattan a couple of months ago (all tv people from down under know them!) from Sydney to Scott McWilliams who carries on the family tradition of making legendary wine, in America it's imported by the fabulous Gallo brand.

For the finishing touch, Dana Boyer worked her magic blowing out every strand of Peachy's hair perfectly and letting Peachy pick the perfect Redken products to put in it- of course she knows them all- now that it is back to her natural color for the winter.  Natural, with the occasional blond highlight that has so strategically grown in, in just the right place (wink, wink thank you Ivan the Wonderful.)  And no red!  Applause!!!!  

It is true, the right color on the heads of women all over Manhattan will have a scientific effect on men as well; chickens are not the only animals that are affected by color-the statistics are coming in on the attention Peachy's been getting with the right cut and color, and graphing the number of quality guys who take her to dinner at Swifty's is significantly higher after she has her hair done at the Cutler Salon.  If you want men falling at your feet too, you know where to go.  Rodney's the best, and he picks the best team too.
