“Jenny said when she was just five years old
There was nothing happening at all

– Lou Reed

I had gotten to walk with him to the end of the world. Life – so beautiful, painful and dazzling – does not get better than that. And death? I believe that the purpose of death is the release of love.” – Laurie Anderson

Six months ago I called Salvador Calvano for a massive hair style change – after looking up several salons in Phoenix, I just got a good feeling from Salvador’s and Patty’s website. I managed to book Salvador right before he left to New York to style hair during Fashion Week (which was another clue that he was awesome, not to mention having a look at his portfolio).
