John Masters Organics
The day after I visited this wind-powered Soho salon, I awoke in a
cloud of jasmine that lasted
a good three days, thanks to the stimulating Shiatsu Scalp Treatment
that I received from stylist
Brian Wallace, a recent transplant by way of Tennessee. This salon
stand apart from the crowd
in numerous ways. Aside from a great location and terrific staff,
it's run by the smart, soft-spoken
John Masters, a celebrity stylist who has been formulating organic
products since the early 1990's
(he was recently named to the board of Global Green). A visionary in
the beauty industry, he has
lovingly and consciously outfitted the salon with details that
include a front-desk from an old country
store in the Catskills, ornate reclaimed mirrors (one is from an old
doorway in India), and shelves
made from salvaged beams reclaimed from 18th century buildings from
Brooklyn. An Eco-Garden,
an outdoor back garden, designed by Simon Martinez, a landscape
architecture student at the
Graduate School of Design, Harvard University, is open seven days a
week for clients.
