Philip is an old friend who has a chain of eponymous salons in Pittsburgh, which many of you know is my hometown. Strangely enough, there were so many other Pittsburgh expats there—celebrity colorist Brad Johns, editorial stylists Louis Angelo and Jimmy Paul, Redken's David Stanko—that I could have been at a Steelers Super Bowl party. Vivienne even featured Steel Town girl Beth Minardi in her film. 2009-07-01T04:00:00Z http://www.americansalonmag.com/americansalon/data/articlestandard/americansalon/272008/527944null XML http://www.americansalonmag.com/americansalon/Workshop/In-Style/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/563932?ref=25 Modern Glamour 2008-11-01T04:00:00Z http://www.americansalonmag.com/americansalon/data/articlestandard/americansalon/452008/563932null XML http://www.americansalonmag.com/americansalon/Life+Support/Giving-Thanks/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/563912?ref=25 Within life we are provided many opportunities that allow us to embody the essence of gratitude within all that we are.
