And now he has! The hair whizz opened up his fabulous new abode last night and it's a stunner.So if you are a 6^th of October resident with a great fabulous luscious mane, there is a very slight chance you were actually born with it.

It takes one to know one and we, too, went to Elle Salon’s soft opening last night for some free brushing and manicures over cocktails.
