Julian Toussaint, 29

Who A St. Lucia native and the new masseur at Gladwyne’s OMG Salon. (And, we predict, the future star of every Main Line mom’s Desperate Housewives fantasies.)

Why he left the Caribbean for, um, Gladwyne “I’d thought about moving to the U.S., and then Maurice [Tannenbaum, OMG’s owner—whose pets you can check out on page 77] offered me the job.”

His style Down-to-earth and neat. “I keep my hair short, and I don’t wear clothes with logos on them. And I never leave home without sunglasses.”

Why he became a masseur “I just love making people feel good.” And trust us, he’ll be booked before we can say “Shiatsu and reflexology, please!”

How we know he’ll fit in just fine In his first week here, Toussaint dined at so-hot — “How do you say it again?” — Osteria.

What this island guy will do when it gets cold “Ski!”
