Vanity

Best of Philly 2008: Stylist (and Blowout)

Edmondo Blando, the amiable owner of Walnut Street’s Salon Vanity, pays attention when you admit that you don’t blow-dry religiously or that your mop usually ends up in a pony. Then he goes to work, combining techniques — dry-cutting for shape and wet-cutting for movement. Then he begins his magical blowout (that will last for days!). He’s quick without being hasty, beyond knowledgeable about products, and willing to offer more tricks of the trade than any glossy you’ll ever read.
