It has been sixteen years since the time Oscar Blandi boarded a plane in Italy, and headed for the States.

Since then Oscar opened his own salon on Upper Madison Avenue, the center of New York's most sophisticated fashion district.

He has also become a mainstay on the red carpet working with actresses like Jennifer Garner, Salma Hayek, Renee Zellweger, and Katie Holmes, and has become a highly regarded source on hair expertise, and is often quoted in magazines and sought for fashion shows.
