Cutting edge in Edgemont

By Deana Lancaster
Contributing Writer
FRESH off a plane
from Los Angeles,
Joseph Maggi of
Structure Hair Design
has introduced the
Edgemont Collection
for summer.

The = salon, located in
Edgemont Village, is the joint
concept of Maggi, the artistic
director of the salon, and
Leslea MacPhail, the managing,
director. It opened in the area
last September.

The idea is te offer a full
range of services adaptable to a
broad mix of clients. And to
use current British and
European techniques for both
cutting and color.

In February Maggi was in
L.A. for the Long Beach Hair
Show, where he also had the
opportunity to take courses
and learn new techniques. He
brought them back with him.

The summer collection uses
softer blocks and strips of color
defined by sculpted hair —
using the color to enhance,
shadow and define the cut. And
just as fashion is applying, a lay-
ered look for new collections,

the cuts are layered both in
symmetric and asymmetric

‘overcuts. Maggi has chosen

three cuts for the collection
which include long and short
hair lengths.

Maggi said the techniques
were already being used in
Vancouver, but “in L.A. they
were showing it in a more dra-
matic way.”

But will the concept fly in
cosy little Edgemont Village?

“We were really scared
about opening here,” said
Maggi, “but we chase the area
on purpose.” Maggi and
MacPhail saw the need in the
village for a salon that caters to

a younger, trendier crowd.
Some of his older clients are
“very modern or in film.”

“We're very downtown,”
said Maggi. Most of his clients
do live in the area, but in the
past have headed over the
bridge to get the latest look. ”

Right now, the accent is on
an easy-to-maintain cut which
can be revised for evening wear.

The “street look” involves
shadow and depth using hair
color as makeup.

It’s an example of a look
that originated in a counter
movement only to reappeat on
thet runways in a more polished

ion. :

JOSEPH Maggi's Edgemont collection for hair
applies cuts layered in symmetric and asymmetric
overcuts. The color enhances, shadows ard defines
the cut, by using softer blocks and strips oft color.
