"THE STREAK"... A LU-LU OF A HAIRCUT It's a Third Millenium bob, created with new-century geometrics and ultra-clean line, then slashed to the max for ultimate pizazz. It's "The Streak", a haircut based on Louise Brooks' classic bob, updated to next-year style. And it's the cut that has made The Richard Stein Salon one of Madison Avenue's hippest hangouts for the fashion cognoscenti. Designed for minimum upkeep and maximum impact, "The Streak" is cut from the inside out, beginning with a razor-sharp geometric line that swoops from close-cropped nape to a sensuous curve at the chin line. But what makes this cut this generation is the layering that makes it more to the fashion point. "It's the evolution of Ribbon-Cutting with more sophistication," says Richard Stein, "...a sleek, bad-girl haircut with a soft soul."

'Women today need — indeed, demand — a haircut that is both of-the-fashion-moment and utterly chic...a cut that creates an aura of self-confidence. 'The Streak' has attitude, style, and — invaluable in today's high-speed social scene — the ability to transform its look from day to day or day to night." LuLu Classic Cut with Color

Hidden Color

The color message here is strong: hidden color that appears (and disappears) with the toss of a head...color that mixes vivid and subtle hues, always keeping the subtle as the more visible top layer. Richard Stein dares to use combinations such as auburn with violet, cinder with tree-bark silver or brown-velvet with gold.

For the faint of heart, colors such as violet or metallic gold shouldn't be cause for concern. "Remember," says Richard, these are hidden colors, strategically placed. The result is mysterious, a hint of something hidden, something to wonder about and watch for. It's up to the wearer to decide how much she'll reveal...and to whom!" Hint: a toss of the head, a touch of the fingers, reveals a flash of that color. And, of course, everyone will be watching.

Whether it's for a gala fête or a glittering by-the-sea soirée, hair like this is bound to get attention...of the best possible kind! Be prepared.

The Streak has it all....
and does it all...
only at The Richard Stein Salon.

		Crunch and Curl...
		"The Streak" isn't a one-look haircut! On the contrary...it goes from straight and sleek to female and feathery to curl, curl, curly...all with a quick crunch and scrunch of the fingertips.

		...and a little help from a friend...
		Richard Stein's quick-curl suggestion: a body wave, back in fashion and better than ever. And also essential if natural curls weren't bestowed at birth. Says Stein, "A quick fingertip scrunch of damp hair will provide a bounce of just-right curls, all before your date rings the doorbell!"

		Think pink!….
		"Don't be afraid to think out of the color box", says hair guru, Richard Stein. "Paint streaks of pink just below the surface for depth (think of the heart of a budding flower) or do white-gold as the basis for sea-goddess blonde, a perfect toss-your-head surprise when ocean breezes blow. Hidden color reveals all!"
