It's not who you know, it's Whom You Know and you ought to know John D'Orazio, owner of The John D'Orazio Salon on Madison Avenue between 71/72 and Thomas Morrissey, above who is the best colorist in all the land! They and their amazing team starting with upbeat manager Mary Hopkins who graciously greets you will give you and your haircolor an unparalleled experience of excellence.
Thomas has worked on some of the most famous heads in the world from Brooke Astor to Jackie Kennedy and you, next! His heightened taste levels evoke the beauty in each and every person he works with to make your both your inner and outer beauty emanate wonderfully.
It goes without saying he is so organized, knowing just what to mix up to make you look your best and he also considers the seasons and time of year to create a natural beauty about you. Thomas is a proponent of classiness and looking your best and deviates from unnecessary trends that take away from you achieving your ideal look.
The John D'Orazio Salon is always spotless and a lot of pride and care goes into everything that happens there. From start to finish, you can be assured of a positive experience. After Thomas magically paints on your color and you wait for it to set, Elena washes and conditions your hair and then Kati Jafine, below, brilliantly blow dries it out.
It may be an uber-busy time of the year but to truly make it the most wonderful time of the year concurrently, go visit Thomas to shine your best for the season!Color by Thomas Morrissey of The John D'Orazio Salon continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.
