Meet the Fabulous Luis Llongueras!
Impertinent, humorous and driven to continue perfecting the art of hair, Spanish beauty icon Luis Llongueras celebrates 60 years in the world of professional beauty.
Ambitious right from the beginning of his fabled career, Llongueras opened his first salon when he was 20 years old-or 22, depending on which historian you choose to believe. Consumed by his passion for art, beauty and business, he eventually built a veritable empire of over 100 salons, including those in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Switzerland, Uruguay, Venezuela, and, of course, all over Spain. He founded the Llongueras Institute in Barcelona, a world-renowned academy where thousands of budding Europeans kick-start their beauty careers. And, after being smitten by the printed word, Llongueras also launched Peluquerias magazine, which remains the leading probeauty publication in Spain.

TOP TEN TIPS. FOR THE NATURAL NAIL
by Victoria Thomas
In a World of Fakes, a Healthy, Unenhanced Nail Is the Real Deal
There are few beauty-emer-gencies more exasperating than breaking an acrylic nail when repairs are not avail-able - on your honeymoon in Morocco, perhaps, or the night before a major meeting. But the great thing about healthy, natural nails - meaning a nail with no tip, wrap, gel, silk or other arti-ficial enhancement - is that when the inevitable split or break does occur, you can file them down, condition hands, nails and cuticles, and just start over.

What's Your Shape?
by HAIR'S HOW
Spanish stylist Roberto Mesones is sure that face shapes need a lot of attention on the part of stylists to ensure that cuts or styles be a success! Another stylist Brian Perry (Farouk) says "The key is to use the shape to design a great style. The good news is any face shape can look spectacular with the right hair design". Beauty experts used to believe oval shaped faces were the most flexible for wearing any type of hairstyle. This oval-is-best belief is no longer prevalent. There is no wrong of right shape. But having a good idea of your baseline shape helps to select flattering styles.

Trevor Sorbie. A "Bespoke" Life
by Elena Negreskul
The term "bespoke"- meaning custom-made to a buyer's specifications - isn't used much on this side of the Atlantic.

Life might be easier that way, but far less interesting, according to brilliant hairstyling guru Trevor Sorbie.

The epiphany: that he would blaze a trail for African-American women, whose beauty had been misunderstood and simply neglected by the mainstream industry. So, he put down his therapist's notepad, picked up his blow dryer, and has never looked back!
